In recent years, visible light-induced transition metal catalysis has emerged as a new
paradigm in organic photocatalysis, which has led to the discovery of unprecedented …

This article reviews synthetic transformations involving cleavage of a carbon–carbon bond of
a four-membered ring, with a particular focus on the examples reported during the period …

Three-component carboacylation of simple alkenes with readily available reagents is
challenging. Transition metal-catalysed intermolecular carboacylation works for alkenes with …

Conspectus Bridged and fused rings are commonly found in biologically important
molecules. Current tactics to construct these ring systems are primarily based on stepwise …

In this review, synthetic and mechanistic aspects of key methodologies that exploit C–C
single-bond cleavage of strained ring systems are highlighted. The focus is on transition …

Transition metal (TM)‐catalyzed difunctionalization of unactivated olefins with two carbon‐
based entities is a powerful method to construct complex molecular architectures rapidly …

The cleavage and reorganization of carbon− carbon bonds is an industrial key technology
for crude oil refining, carried out on a massive scale. In contrast, C− C bond cleavage …

The transition-metal-catalyzed “cut and sew” transformation has recently emerged as a
useful strategy for preparing complex molecular structures. After oxidative addition of a …

Conventional organic synthesis has been mainly based upon the reactivities of π-bonds and
polar σ-bonds. Carbon–carbon single bonds are nonpolar and generally far less reactive …

A remaining challenge in the synthetic chemistry field is formation of all-carbon quaternary
centers, a feature found in many natural products, particularly in spirocycle systems. 1 …
