While organic electrochemistry can look quite different to a chemist not familiar with the
technique, the reactions are at their core organic reactions. As such, they are developed and …

Quinones are common stoichiometric reagents in organic chemistry. Para‐quinones with
high reduction potentials, such as DDQ and chloranil, are widely used and typically promote …

The quinone/semiquinone/hydroquinone triad (Q/SQ•−/H2Q) represents a class of
compounds that has great importance in a wide range of biological processes. The half-cell …

Carbon–hydrogen bond functionalizations provide an attractive method for streamlining
organic synthesis, and many strategies have been developed for conducting these …

A cooperative photoredox and asymmetric catalysis for the enantioselective aerobic
oxidative C (sp3)–H olefination of tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THCs) is reported. This method …

Synthetically important β‐substituted γ‐nitro aldehydes have been synthesized with
excellent enantioselectivity by the cross‐coupling reaction of β‐aryl substituted aldehydes or …

The dehydrogenative β′-functionalization of α-substituted β-keto esters with indoles
proceeds with high regioselectivities (C3-selective for the indole partner and β′-selective …

A unified and bioinspired oxidative cyclization strategy was used in the first total syntheses
of naturally occurring 12‐epi‐hapalindole Q isonitrile, hapalonamide H, deschloro 12‐epi …

2, 3-Dichloro-5, 6-dicyano-1, 4-benzoquinone (DDQ) is a highly effective reagent for
promoting C–H bond functionalization. The oxidative cleavage of benzylic and allylic C–H …

A new catalytic oxidation system using catalytic amounts of 2, 3‐dichloro‐5, 6‐dicyano‐1, 4‐
benzoquinone (DDQ) and tert‐butyl nitrite with molecular oxygen serving as the …
