Natural products containing eight-membered carbocycles constitute a class of structurally
intriguing and biologically important molecules such as the famous diterpenes taxol and …

Ynones are widely used in organic synthesis. Their great success is rooted in their multiple
functional groups. This review focus on advance of ynones in published in the decade 2009 …

Since its discovery in the late 1960s, the Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reaction has
remained a powerful carbon–carbon σ-bond-forming transformation, producing small …

Allenoates are versatile building blocks which are primarily activated and controlled using
chiral tert. phosphine and tert. amine Lewis bases. We herein report the first example of …

We report a phosphine‐catalyzed ring opening of electron‐deficient
alkylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs) to generate allylic phosphonium zwitterions that resemble …

A new method for the construction of functionalized furo [3, 2-c] coumarins via MBH-type/acyl-
transfer/Wittig reaction is reported. The current approach would open a new route for the …

A Brønsted acid catalyzed cyclization of o-alkenyl-o′-alkynylbiaryls for the synthesis of
biologically relevant dibenzo-fused medium-sized rings has been developed. The outcome …

The present review discusses the development of new metal‐free conditions for the
hydroacylation of alkenes and alkynes under both thermal and photochemical conditions …

We describe the first metal-free and organocatalytic strategy to access highly functionalised
dibenzocycloheptanes via a phosphine-promoted annulative Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) …

3-Hydroxyquinoline-4 (1 H)-ones (3HQs) are privileged structural motifs. The current
methods for their synthesis necessitate strongly acidic or basic conditions, which hamper the …
