Organic compounds labeled with hydrogen isotopes play a crucial role in numerous areas,
from materials science to medicinal chemistry. Indeed, while the replacement of hydrogen by …

Deuterium‐labeled compounds are of importance in chemical, environmental, and
biological fields. Preparation methods for deuterium‐labeled compounds have been studied …

We reported a selective semihydrogenation (deuteration) of numerous terminal and internal
alkynes using H2O (D2O) as the H (D) source over a Pd‐P alloy cathode at a lower …

Prospects in light‐driven water activation have prompted rapid progress in hydrogenation
reactions. We describe a Ni2+− N4 site built on carbon nitride for catalyzed …

A novel protocol for a significantly improved, practical, and chemoselective ammonia-free
Birch reduction mediated by bench-stable sodium dispersions and recoverable 15-crown-5 …

Semihydrogenation of alkynes represents one of the most viable route to produce functional
alkene products. Herein we describe the visible-light-driven alcohol or water donating …

This short review describes the recent emergence of organosodium chemistry, motivated by
the requirements of modern synthetic chemistry for sustainability, and powered by the use of …

A general method for alkali-metal-promoted reductive difunctionalization of alkenes has
been developed by means of reduction-resistant alkoxy-substituted electrophiles. A series of …

Recent work in drug discovery has shown that selectively deuterated small molecules can
improve the safety and efficacy for active pharmaceutical ingredients. The advantages …

Reduction of alkynes with alkali metals in the presence of B2pin2 results in diboration of
alkynes. Distinct from conventional dissolving metal hydrogenations, two carbon–boron …
