This review is focused on the analysis of current data on new methods of alkenylation of
arenes and heteroarenes with alkynes by transition metal catalyzed reactions …

During the last century, organometallic reagents prepared from main group metals, 1 such
as organolithium, organomagnesium, and organozinc compounds, have played a central …

Indoles are among the most important N-heterocycles in pharmaceuticals. Here, we present
an alternative to the classic Fischer indole synthesis based on the radical coupling between …

Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions using organoindium reagents have
witnessed rapid and comprehensive development in the past two decades. In comparison …

Butafulvene is a constitutional isomer of benzene, comprising a cyclobutene skeleton
bearing two exocyclic conjugated methylene units. As a result of the intrinsic high strain …

A Rh (III) catalyzed formal [4+ 2+ 2] cyclization of N-pivaloyloxybenzamides 1 with 1, 6-
allene-enes 2 by C–H functionalization is reported. The reactions occur at room temperature …

Medium-ring systems, which constitute a class of structurally intriguing and biologically
important molecules, are present in many natural products and pharmaceuticals. However …

A highly efficient palladium-catalyzed oxidative cascade reaction of enallenes undergoing
overall four C–C bond formations has been developed. The insertion cascade proceeds via …

A handle on annulation: The two alkenoyl moieties of the cyclic dithiolane are parallel to
each other and enables the [7C+ 1C] annulation with ethyl isocyanoacetate to occur. As a …

A highly efficient, redox-free Pd (II)-catalyzed tandem cyclization reaction initiated by
intramolecular aminopalladation of alkynes followed by nucleophilic addition to nitriles is …
