Hydroamination, the addition of an N–H bond across a C–C multiple bond, is a reaction with
a great synthetic potential. Important advances have been made in the last decades …

Lignin is an abundant biopolymer with a high carbon content and high aromaticity. Despite
its potential as a raw material for the fuel and chemical industries, lignin remains the most …

Conversion of lignin into well-defined aromatic chemicals is a highly attractive goal but is
often hampered by recondensation of the formed fragments, especially in acidolysis. Here …

Methods for efficient, catalytic functionalization of unactivated C− H bonds with boron 1 and
silicon 2 reagents are valuable to the fields of synthetic chemistry and materials science …

In 1979, the seminal work of Wenkert set the standards for the utilization of aryl and vinyl
