The preparation, structure, and chemistry of hypervalent iodine compounds are reviewed
with emphasis on their synthetic application. Compounds of iodine possess reactivity similar …

Hypervalent iodine compounds are known for their extensive use as potential oxidants in
organic synthesis. In spite of the similar reactivity with transition metals, hypervalent iodine …

Regioselective functionalization of aromatic arenes has created a rapid insurgence in the
modern era of organic chemistry. While the last few years have witnessed significant …

Summary A strategy for C–H functionalization of arenes and heteroarenes has been
developed to allow site-selective incorporation of various anions, including Cl, Br, OMs, OTs …

The Schmidt reaction has been an efficient and widely used synthetic approach to amides
and nitriles since its discovery in 1923. However, its application often entails the use of …

Enantioselective total syntheses of title natural products from a common cyclohexenone
derivative (S)-18 were reported. Ozonolysis of (S)-18 afforded a stable diketo ester (R)-17 …

Abstract The highly chemo‐, enantio‐, and diastereoselective catalyst‐controlled
intramolecular allylic C− H insertion and cyclopropanation of donor/donor carbenes are …

A metal-, base-, and additive-free amide bond formation reaction was developed under an
organic photoredox catalyst. This green approach showed excellent functional selectivity …

Ruthenium‐catalyzed C− H chalcogenations of anilides with readily available diselenides
and disulfides have been achieved. Our strategy features ample substrate scope, affording …

A metal-and initiator-free direct fluorination of arenes with the assistance of an amide group
is developed. This reaction proceeded under simple aqueous conditions with good …
