This chapter covers the literature published during 2013 relating to the above area, apart
from a few papers from 2012 in less accessible journals which came to light in Chemical …

The highly enantioselective synthesis of dihydroisoquinoline derivatives from aromatic
sulfonated imines tethered with an alkyne moiety, through a one‐pot asymmetric relay …

P-Hydroxytetraorganophosphorane, the long-postulated intermediate in phosphonium salt
and ylide hydrolysis, has been observed and characterised by low temperature NMR, finally …

A synthetic strategy based on sequential application of aza-Claisen rearrangement, C–H
functionalization, C–N coupling and cyclization as key steps has been developed for the …

The synthesis of chroman-3-ol derivatives via intramolecular nucleophilic additions has
