The development of new or more sustainable, active, efficient, controlled, and selective
polymerization reactions or processes continues to be crucial for the synthesis of important …

To prepare biobased polymers, particular attention must be paid to the obtention of the
monomers from which they are derived.(Meth) acrylates and their analogs constitute such a …

Ten years have passed since the conception of what was termed Lewis pair polymerization
(LPP) that employs Lewis acid and base in pairs to not only activate monomers but also …

In typical cyclic polymer synthesis via ring‐closure, chain growth and cyclization events are
competing with each other, thus affording cyclic polymers with uncontrolled molecular …

Crotonates, unlike their constitutional isomers of methacrylates, are not readily polymerized
by conventional radical or anionic polymerization methods. A recent effort in polymerizing …

An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed formal [4+ 2] synthesis of dihydrocoumarins
was realized from saturated carboxylic acids and o-quinone methides via an in situ …

Lewis acidic zeolites are used to synthesize unsaturated dicarboxylic acid esters via aldol
condensation of keto esters. Hafnium-containing BEA (Hf-BEA) zeolites catalyze the …

This contribution presents a full account of experimental and theoretical/computational
investigations into the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed proton-transfer …

An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed γ-specific aldol-like reaction between
allenoates and isatins has been achieved under mild conditions, giving trisubstituted allene …

Oxygenation reactions with molecular oxygen (O2) as the oxygen source provides a green
and straightforward strategy for the construction of O‐containing compounds. Demonstrated …
