Conspectus One of the major challenges facing organic synthesis in the 21st century is the
utilization of abundantly available feedstock chemicals for fine chemical synthesis. Regio …

Conspectus By using transition metal catalysts, chemists have altered the “logic of chemical
synthesis” by enabling the functionalization of carbon–hydrogen bonds, which have …

Design of ligands in transition-metal catalyzed reactions is challenging, especially in
asymmetric transformations. With each step in the catalytic cycle promoted by its privileged …

Ketones are among the most widely used intermediates in organic synthesis, and their
synthesis from inexpensive feedstocks could be quite impactful. Regio-and enantioselective …

Acylphosphonates having the 5, 5-dimethyl-1, 3, 2-dioxophosphinanyl skeleton are
developed as efficient intermolecular radical acylation reagents, which enable the cobalt …

Despite the current progress achieved in asymmetric hydroacylations, highly
enantioselective catalytic addition of unfunctionalized aldehydes to internal alkenes remains …

The regio-and diastereoselective alkene isomerization and hydrofunctionalization sequence
enabled by transition-metal complexes allows rapid activation and assembly of the C (sp3) …

Herein, we report visible-light-driven hydroacylation of unactivated alkenes. We employed
benzimidazolines as new acyl donors and achieved perfect regioselectivity, high functional …

The present review discusses the development of new metal‐free conditions for the
hydroacylation of alkenes and alkynes under both thermal and photochemical conditions …

We demonstrate that aryltriazenes can promote three distinctive types of C–H
functionalization reactions, allowing the preparation of complex benzene molecules with …
