We have provided a critical review that focuses on key developments in the area of 3-
substituted phthalides and their role in the development of important biologically active …

As important reactive species, isoindolinones represent a cluster of valuable building blocks
for the construction of natural‐product‐like compounds. In particular, chiral isoindolinones …

A series of rhodium complexes bearing sterically and electronically tunable
cyclopentadienyl ligands, prepared by utilizing Co2 (CO) 8-mediated [2+ 2+ 1] cyclization as …

Abstract A photocatalytic self‐(3+ 2) cycloaddition of vinyldiazo compounds is described,
which provides cyclopentene derivatives with conservation of one diazo functional group …

A metal‐and oxidant‐free electrochemical method for preparing selenomethyl‐substituted
cyclic ethers or lactones via difunctionalization of olefines is presented. A series of …

The combination of visible light irradiation and Pd-catalysis has been practically employed
for the C–H alkylation reactions of naphthylamines and α-diazo esters, leading to the …

Lactams with a stereogenic center adjacent to the N atom have existed in many medicinal
agents and bioactive alkaloids. Herein we report a broadly applicable synthesis of …

An asymmetric rhodium (III)-catalyzed Grignard-type addition of inert arene C–H bond to
aldehydes is reported. It provides a new strategy for the synthesis of chiral 3-substituted …

An efficient method for the synthesis of 3-hydroxymethyl isoindolinones via cobalt-catalyzed
C (sp2)–H carbonylation of phenylglycinol derivatives using picolinamide as a traceless …

H8–BINOL, a partially reduced form of BINOL, is widely employed in a broad array of
organocatalyzed asymmetric methodologies. Over the last 25 years, asymmetric …
