This review covers the recent developments (since 2015) of enantioselective
desymmetrization reactions using metal-catalyzed, organocatalyzed and enzymatic …

Nitride complexes are key species in homogeneous nitrogen fixation to NH3 via stepwise
proton‐coupled electron transfer (PCET). In contrast, direct generation of nitrogenous …

A novel Michael/alkylation cascade reaction of N-unprotected 3-bromooxindoles with α, β-
unsaturated acyl phosphonates using DABCO as a robust catalyst followed by the …

A robust palladium-catalyzed decarbonylative alkynylation of aryl anhydrides is reported.
The catalytic system of Pd (OAc) 2/XantPhos and DMAP as a nucleophilic additive has been …

A nickel-catalyzed decarbonylation or decarbonylation accompanied by decarboxylation
cross-coupling reaction of aryl anhydrides with thiophenols as coupling partners was …

A new strategy for the synthesis of 2-arylbenzoxazole derivatives via nickel-/copper-
catalyzed decarbonylative heteroarylation of aryl anhydrides via C–O/C–H coupling has …

Transition metal-catalyzed cross-couplings have been widely employed in the synthesis of
many important molecules in synthetic chemistry for the construction of diverse C–C bonds …

A novel strategy for C–S bond formation is developed. This reaction utilizes a low-cost, air-
and moisture-insensitive nickel pre-catalyst to execute a decarbonylative reaction of acid …

Abstract Ozonolytic transformations of (R)‐(−)‐carvone in aprotic (CH2Cl2) and proton‐
donor (MeOH) solvents in the presence of pyridine were carried out. A low conversion of the …

This thesis focusses on the activation and functionalization of atmospheric dinitrogen by
chromium and rhenium based transition metal complexes. The electronic structure of …
