Hypervalent aryliodoumiums are intensively investigated as arylating agents. They are
excellent surrogates to aryl halides, and moreover they exhibit better reactivity, which allows …

Covering: up to mid-2015 Recently identified natural atropisomeric compounds with
potential medicinal applications are presented. The ability of natural receptors to possess …

The principle of vinylogy states that the electronic effects of a functional group in a molecule
are possibly transmitted to a distal position through interposed conjugated multiple bonds …

The development of new antibiotics continues to pose challenges, particularly considering
the growing threat of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Structurally diverse natural …

Atropisomers are stereoisomers with axial chirality arising from restricted rotation around a
single bond. Lots of representatives of this class of axially chiral compounds exhibit …

Central-to-axial chirality conversion provides efficient access to axially chiral compounds,
and several examples regarding the conversion of one, two or four stereocenters to one axis …

This review covers recent developments relating to organocatalyzed transformations by
chiral isothioureas (ITUs) since their original introduction by Birman in 2006. This class of …

Axially chiral biaryl motifs possessing ortho-heteroatom-substituted functionalities exist
widely in the structures of natural products and have served as foundation for constructing …

Atropisomers have inspired chemists and biologists for decades due to their chiral structures
and associated biological properties. However, most of atropisomers reported so far arise in …

Traceless point-to-axial chirality exchange is a growing method for the preparation of axially
chiral biaryls/heterobiaryls. During the exchange, stereogenic centers are destroyed and a …
