It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

Whereas indications of radical reactivity in bismuth compounds can be traced back to the
19th century, the preparation and characterization of both transient and persistent bismuth …

The oxidative addition of aryl electrophiles is a fundamental organometallic reaction widely
applied in the field of transition metal chemistry and catalysis. However, the analogous …

A synthetic method for the reductive transformation of nitroarenes into ortho-aminated and-
annulated products is reported. The method operates via the exhaustive deoxygenation of …

We disclose a Bi-catalyzed C–H trifluoromethylation of (hetero) arenes using CF3SO2Cl
under light irradiation. The catalytic method permits the direct functionalization of various …

The chemistry of carbon is governed by the octet rule, which refers to its tendency to have
eight electrons in its valence shell. However, a few exceptions do exist, for example, the trityl …

In contrast to the extensive but non-recyclable use of tetraalkoxydiboron (4) compounds as
stoichiometric reagents in diverse reactions, this article reports an atom-economical reaction …

Catalytic processes are largely dominated by transition-metal complexes. Main-group
compounds that can mimic the behaviour of the transition-metal complexes are of great …

Anti-van't Hoff–Le Bel configured p-block element species possess intrinsically high
reactivity and are thus challenging to isolate. Consequently, numerous elements in this …

A Bi-catalyzed synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides from the corresponding (hetero) aryl boronic
acids is presented. We demonstrate that the organobismuth (III) catalysts bearing a bis-aryl …
