Acylsilanes have been utilized in various transformations for the synthesis of functionalized
organosilicon derivatives due to their importance in medicinal and materials science. This …

Over fifty years ago, the 1, 2‐rearrangement of acylsilanes was first described by Adrian
Brook and co‐workers. This rearrangement (now termed the Brook rearrangement) yields …

Stereoselective cyclopropanation reaction of alkenes is usually achieved by metal
complexes via singlet‐metal‐carbene intermediates. However, previous transition‐metal …

Although the synthesis of common cyclopropenes has been well studied, the access to
cyclopropenols is rather limited. Herein, we report the first synthesis of α‐trifluoromethylated …

Visible light induced singlet nucleophilic carbenes undergo rapid [2+ 1]-cycloaddition with
tethered olefins to afford unique bicyclo [3.1. 0] hexane and bicyclo [4.1. 0] heptane …

We report the synthesis of β‐lactams from α‐ketoacylsilanes and imines, which proceeds via
a formal [2+ 2] photochemical cycloaddition with in situ generation of siloxyketene. This mild …

Investigations into C− H amidation reactions catalysed by cationic half‐sandwich d6 metal
complexes revealed that the indenyl‐derived catalyst [Ind* RhCl2] 2 significantly accelerated …

In recent decades, the traceless nature of visible photons has been exploited for the
development of efficient synthetic strategies for the photoconversion of colourless …

We herein demonstrate the acylsilane-directed Rh-catalyzed arene C–H bond alkylation
with maleimides. The resulting derivatives were utilized in visible-light-induced …

An intriguing visible-light-induced strategy has been established for the P–H insertion
reaction between acylsilanes and H-phosphorus oxides that, upon a subsequent acidic …
