Construction of new carbon–carbon bonds is the cornerstone of organic chemistry.
Organometallic reagents are amongst the most robust and versatile nucleophiles for this …

The simple and efficient conversion of carbonyl compounds into functionalized alkanes via
deoxygenation is highly enabling in chemical synthesis. This Review covers the recent …

The combination of photoredox catalysis with the Wolff–Kishner (WK) reaction allows the
difunctionalization of carbonyl groups by a radical-carbanion relay sequence (photo-Wolff …

Carbonyl Umpolung is a powerful strategy in organic chemistry to construct complex
molecules. Over the last few years, versatile catalytic approaches for the generation of acyl …

We report a catalytic method to access secondary alcohols by the coupling of aryl iodides.
Either aldehydes or alcohols can be used as reaction partners, making the transformation …

A visible-light-induced, transition-metal and photosensitizer-free cross-coupling of aryl
iodides with hydrazones was developed. In this strategy, hydrazones were used as …

[1, 2]-Phospha-Brook rearrangement entails the generation of α-oxygenated carbanions via
the umpolung process. Recently, these anionic species have been widely utilized for several …

The synthesis of inexpensive and novel air‐stable Ni (0) nanoparticles immobilized on the
EDTA‐modified Fe3O4@ SiO2 nanocatalyst was investigated in Suzuki‐Miyaura and Heck …

The widespread use of amidine and guanidine bases in synthetic chemistry merits a
thorough understanding of their chemical properties. The propensity of these reagents to …

Current methods for Suzuki-Miyaura couplings of nontriflate phenol derivatives are limited
by their intolerance of halides including aryl chlorides. This is because Ni (0) and Pd (0) …
