In 1994, Ye and McKervey published a paper in Chemical Reviews entitled “Organic
Synthesis with α-Diazocarbonyl Compounds”. 1 Our intention then was to draw attention to …

Dual hydrogen‐bond donor (HBD) scaffolds can be strategically designed to enable their
optimal performance as catalysts. The deliberate installation of activating groups on HBDs …

Aryldiazoacetates can undergo photolysis under blue light irradiation (460–490 nm) at room
temperature and under air in the presence of numerous trapping agents, such as styrene …

Expanding nature's catalytic repertoire to include reactions important in synthetic chemistry
will open new opportunities for 'green'chemistry and biosynthesis. We demonstrate the first …

Carbon dioxide is an abundant and renewable C1 source. However, mild transformations
with carbon dioxide at atmospheric pressure are difficult to accomplish. Silanediols have …

An overview of the applications of boronic and borinic acids in catalysis is presented. Taking
advantage of the Lewis acidity of trivalent boron and the reversible covalent interactions of …

Anilines are important moieties in organic chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials
science. Although para-selective functionalization of anilides and tertiary anilines is well …

Methods for the synthesis of cyclopropanes are critical for drug discovery, chemical biology,
total synthesis, and other fields. Herein, we report the use of the strong sterically …

A stereodivergent synthesis of five‐membered N‐heterocycles, such as 2, 3‐
dihydropyrroles, and 2‐methylene and 3‐methylene pyrrolidines, has been developed …

A spectrophotometric sensor is described that provides a useful assessment of the LUMO-
lowering provided by catalysts in Diels–Alder and Friedel–Crafts reactions. A broad range of …
