The transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals, advanced materials, and
energy is a long-standing challenge in both fundamental science and industry. In recent …

Driven by the inherent synthetic potential of CO2 as an abundant, inexpensive and
renewable C1 chemical feedstock, the recent years have witnessed renewed interest in …

Catalytic alkene difunctionalization via Si− H and C− H activations represents an ideal atom‐
and step‐economic pathway for quick assembly of molecular complexity. We herein …

Si–B reagents, namely silylboronic esters and silylboranes, have become increasingly
attractive as versatile reagents to introduce silicon and boron atoms into organic …

This third review in a series involving reactions of hydrosilanes and transition metal
complexes and characterization of the products covers the period 2009 thru 2013. After a …

The utilization of CO 2 as a C1 building block for the synthesis of valuable chemicals is of
great importance. The transition metal-catalyzed carboxylation of unsaturated substrates …

We present herein the first visible-light-driven hydrocarboxylation as well as
carbocarboxylation of alkynes using CO2 via an iridium/cobalt dual catalysis. Such …

This minireview gives an overview of the chemical transformations of carbon dioxide (CO2)
catalysed by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)–copper complexes. NHC–copper complexes …

Although the chemistry of copper has a long history [1a-d], the relatively recent discovery of
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) as transition-metal supporting ligands has permitted novel …

Catalytic asymmetric carboxylation of readily available alkenes with CO2, an abundant and
sustainable one-carbon building block, that gives access to value-added α-stereogenic …
