The importance of medium-and large-sized rings in organic chemistry is exemplified by their
being the structural core of a large number of biologically important natural products1 and …

A major challenge in organic synthesis today is to devise reactions that can form several
carbon-carbon bonds in one operation leading to the construction of polycyclic structures …

Ylides can be viewed as species in which a positively charged heteroatom is connected to a
carbon atom possessing an unshared pair of electrons. These reactive intermediates are …

Carbocyclizations of alkenes and alkynes are extremely important and useful reactions for
the syntheses of a variety of carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds. The term …

The last decade has witnessed dramatic growth in the number of reactions catalysed by
electrophilic gold complexes. Although proposed mechanisms often invoke the intermediacy …
