Radical trifluoromethoxylation is an attractive approach to prepare compounds featuring the
important OCF3 group, however most existing methods have focused on aromatic …

An air-stable rhodium (I)–oxygen adduct featuring a CNC-pincer ligand, based on 1, 2, 3-
triazol-5-ylidenes, catalyzes the homo-dimerization and hydrothiolation of alkynes, affording …

A simple and efficient, Lewis acid catalysed reductive etherification strategy for the
stereoselective synthesis of cis‐2, 6‐disubstituted morpholines and 1, 4‐oxathianes starting …

The efficient and straightforward syntheses of silylthioethers and disulfides are presented.
The synthetic methodologies are based on new rhodium complexes containing bulky N …

A ruthenium‐catalyzed reaction for the selective transformation of disulfides (and
diselenides) into their silyl (and germyl) counterparts has been developed, as the first …

A diastereoselective synthesis of cis-2, 6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran-4-ones was
developed. The key step of this methodology, a silyl enol ether Prins cyclization, was …

A novel self-terminated Prins strategy has been developed for the synthesis of 2-substituted
tetrahydropyran-4-one derivatives through a condensation of 3-(phenylthio) but-3-en-1-ol …

This chapter reviews pericyclic reactions in general and reactions where a cascade of
concerted processes with transition states representing superpositions of two pericyclic …

This thesis focuses on the isolation, syntheses and biosyntheses of phytoalexins and other
elicited metabolites from crucifers. Elicitation of plant defense responses increases amounts …
