The hallmark of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis is the initial nucleophilic addition of a
phosphine to an electrophilic starting material, producing a reactive zwitterionic …

A growing number of organopnictogen redox catalytic methods have emerged—especially
within the past 10 years—that leverage the plentiful reversible two-electron redox chemistry …

Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions of alcohols are fundamentally important
transformations in organic chemistry yet, to date, they are relatively underdeveloped with …

A small-ring phosphacycloalkane (1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4-hexamethylphosphetane, 3) catalyzes
intramolecular C–N bond forming heterocyclization of o-nitrobiaryl and-styrenyl derivatives …

The preparation of nitriles from primary amides or aldoximes was achieved by using oxalyl
chloride with a catalytic amount of dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of Et3N. The reactions …

Compared to the aza-Wittig reaction of aldehydes, ketones, amides, and esters, the aza-
