Quaternary ammonium salts are readily prepared and show good reactivity in various
organic transformations via C–N bond cleavage. In this review we summarize reactions of …

We report a direct and efficient electrochemical carboxylation of benzylic C–N bonds with
CO2 at room temperature. The reaction has been successfully applied to both primary and …

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) present an attractive opportunity for developing
new types of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for fuel cell featuring charged …

Both arylhydrazines and quaternary ammonium salts are readily accessible or commercially
available chemicals that show versatile reactivity in Pd‐catalyzed coupling reactions via C …

The cross-electrophile reaction is a promising strategy for C–C bond formation. Recent
studies have focused mainly on reactions with organic halides. Here we report a coupling …

A one-pot protocol for the synthesis of highly enantiopure benzylic thioethers, thioacetates,
and sulfones (94–99% ee) via a ligand-free, copper-catalyzed stereospecific C–S coupling …

Aromatic ammonium and phosphonium salts are important synthetic intermediates and
multifunctional materials, but para‐selective functionalization of the aromatic salts remains a …

An efficient palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling of 1, 1-diarylmethyl-trimethylammonium
triflates with arylboronic acids is reported. This reaction offers a novel approach to …

Amines containing carbon-nitrogen (CN) bonds are widely distributed in natural products,
drug molecules and functional materials. CN bonds are one of the most abundant and inert …

An unprecedented aromatic substitution reaction of benzylic ammonium salts has been
developed through palladium-catalyzed C–N bond cleavage. A range of primary and …
