Despite multiple advances in prevention and treatment, cancer remains a deadly disease
globally. From 1942 to the present day, chemotherapy has been recognized as one of the …

The Stetter reaction is actually a special C− C bond forming reaction through a 1, 4‐addition
reaction in the presence of nucleophilic catalyst. It involves a reaction between aldehydes …

The carbon–nitrogen double bonds in imines are fundamentally important functional groups
in organic chemistry. This is largely due to the fact that imines act as electrophiles towards …

Fast and effective adsorbents for the selective removal of HgII and PbII ions were prepared
by the reaction of Zn (NO3) 2⋅ 6H2O, H2BDC, and N1, N2‐bis (pyridin‐4‐ylmethylene) …

The benzoin reaction has been studied for more than a century, since its initial report by
Wöhler and Liebig in 1832.[1, 2] Nature has long utilized the concept of umpolung in the …

Polarity reversal (“umpolung”) of a functional group can override its inherent reactivity and
lead to distinct bond-forming modes. Herein we describe a rarely studied cycloaddition …

The first direct catalytic asymmetric synthesis of γ-amino ketones was realized by the
development of a highly diastereoselective and enantioselective C–C bond-forming …

A copper‐catalyzed regio‐reversed asymmetric [3+ 2] cycloaddition of iminoesters with
nitroolefins is disclosed for the first time. This method enables the facile synthesis of …

Under photoredox catalysis conditions, the conventional electrophilic reactivity of ketimines
is inverted to generate nucleophilic species. As a result, chemoselective cross-electrophile …

Benzimidazoles are common in nature, medicines, and materials. Numerous strategies for
preparing 2-arylbenzimidazoles exist. In this work, 1, 2-disubstituted benzimidazoles were …
