Methods for site-selective transformations of hydroxyl groups in carbohydrate derivatives are
reviewed. The construction of oligosaccharides of defined connectivity hinges on such …

Over the last decade, substantial research has led to the introduction of an impressive
number of efficient procedures which allow the selective construction of C C bonds by …

Synthetic chemists aspire both to develop novel chemical reactions and to improve reaction
conditions to maximize resource efficiency, energy efficiency, product selectivity, operational …

Many organic chemists, myself included, will remember being told in early undergraduate
years “in organic synthesis water is a contaminant”. From the very beginning it was made …

In this review, we examine the concept that aqueous biphasic reactive extraction (ABRE)
can successfully integrate the solvent properties of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and its phase …

Organic halides are very important and versatile compounds with many applications as
starting materials, solvents, reagents, and intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry. 1 …

Ionic liquids are salts with a low melting point (below 100 C). 1-6 Several types of ionic
liquids are liquid at room temperature (room-temperature ionic liquids or RTILs). The cations …

In den vergangenen zehn Jahren wurde eine beeindruckende Zahl an Verfahren entwickelt,
die den selektiven Aufbau von C‐C‐Bindungen über die direkte Verknüpfung von zwei …

A highly efficient three-component-coupling of aldehyde, alkyne, and amine (A3 Coupling)
catalyzed by gold via C− H activation was developed in water. The reaction is general, and …

During the last century, organometallic reagents prepared from main group metals, 1 such
as organolithium, organomagnesium, and organozinc compounds, have played a central …
