Catalytic transformations involving metal carbenes are considered one of the most important
aspects of homogeneous transition metal catalysis. Recently, gold-catalyzed generation of …

Over the past few years, the development of new radical reactions has gained considerable
momentum. Most such radical transformations heavily depend on the in situ generation of …

A simple and efficient decarboxylative radical addition/cyclization strategy was developed,
by which a wide range of benzimidazo [2, 1-a] isoquinoline-6 (5H)-ones were prepared in …

Here an efficient copper‐catalyzed cascade cyclization of azide‐ynamides via α‐imino
copper carbene intermediates is reported, representing the first generation of α‐imino …

Gold carbene complexes have been recognized as common intermediates in gold-catalyzed
organic syntheses. In this field, α-imino gold carbene complexes, in the last few years, have …

Polycyclic scaffolds are omnipresent in natural products and drugs, and the synthetic
strategies and methods toward construction of these scaffolds are of particular importance …

An enantioselective Mannich‐type reaction of 3‐butynol and nitrones is described, which
affords dihydrofuran‐3‐ones in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. The …

Phenyl azides substituted by an (alkylphenyl) ethynyl group facilitate benzylic sp3 (C− H)
functionalization in the presence of a JohnPhosAu catalyst, resulting in indole‐fused tetra …

A metal-free visible-light-induced decarboxylative radical addition/cyclization procedure at
room temperature was described for the synthesis of acylated benzimidazo/indolo [2, 1-a] …

We have developed an efficient photocatalytic decarboxylative radical addition/cyclization
strategy to synthesize imidazo-isoquinolinone derivatives using inexpensive aromatic …
