Exploiting the reactivity of one functional group within a molecule to generate a reaction at a
different position is an ongoing challenge in organic synthesis. Effective remote …

Other than their established short-chain congeners, polycondensates based on long-chain
difunctional monomers are often dominated by the long methylene sequences of the repeat …

Already for a long time, plant oils and their derivatives have been used by polymer chemists
due to their renewable nature, world wide availability, relatively low price, and their rich …

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric Markovnikov hydroaminocarbonylation of alkenes with
anilines has been developed for the atom-economical synthesis of 2-substituted …

We report a series of hydroarylations of unactivated olefins with trifluoromethyl-substituted
arenes that occur with high selectivity for the linear product without directing groups on the …

The Rh-catalyzed, remote terminal hydroarylation of active olefins at the C7-position of
indoles and the ortho-position of indolines and anilines with the appropriate choice of a NP t …

In an economically expanding world new sustainable concepts have to be developed in
order to overcome growing problems of resource availability. Merging different “Green …

Carbonylation reactions of alkenes constitute the most important industrial processes in
