In the present review, we discuss recent progress in the field of C–Z bond formation
reactions (Z= S, Se, Te) catalyzed by transition metals. Two complementary methodologies …

Monoligated palladium (0) species, L1Pd (0), have emerged as the most active catalytic
species in the cross-coupling cycle. Today, there are methods available to generate the …

Key similarities and differences of Pd and Ni in catalytic systems are discussed. Overall, Ni
and Pd catalyze a vast number of similar C–C and C–heteroatom bond-forming reactions …

The design of molecular catalysts typically involves reconciling multiple conflicting property
requirements, largely relying on human intuition and local structural searches. However, the …

The Pd‐catalyzed coupling of aryl (pseudo) halides and amines is one of the most powerful
approaches for the formation of C (sp2)− N bonds. The pioneering reports from Migita and …

Machine-learning methods have great potential to accelerate the identification of reaction
conditions for chemical transformations. A tool that gives substrate-adaptive conditions for …

Conventional organic synthesis generally relies on the use of liquid organic solvents to
dissolve the reactants. Therefore, reactions of sparingly soluble or insoluble substrates are …

Conspectus In organic synthesis, ligand-modified copper (I) hydride (CuH) complexes have
become well-known reagents and catalysts for selective reduction, particularly toward …

Mechanochemical synthesis with transition-metal catalysts has attracted significant attention
because of its numerous advantages, including reduced solvent waste, shorter reaction …

Ullmann-type C–N coupling reactions represent an important alternative to well-established
Pd-catalyzed approaches due to the differing reactivity and the lower cost of Cu. While the …
