Transition-metal-catalyzed reactions have been studied since the very beginning of the past
century and represent a great success in organic chemistry, along with the birth and growth …

Many recent studies have used KO t Bu in organic reactions that involve single electron
transfer; in the literature, the electron transfer is proposed to occur either directly from the …

Where HAS you been? A manganese-mediated annulation of 2-isocyanobiaryls with
organoboronic acids is developed for the synthesis of a broad range of phenanthridine …

A cascade selenylation/cyclization of dienes with diselenides has been realized under
