Substituted tetrahydrofurans are commonly occurring substructures found in a broad array of
natural products and other biologically active molecules. For example, the annonaceous …

This Minireview discusses the progress made in developing reactions where an olefin is
subjected to an asymmetric halogenation. It aims to serve as a reference for the studies …

A novel electrophilic ipso-cyclization involving an electrophile-exchange process has been
developed. In the presence of CuX (X= I, Br, SCN) and electrophilic fluoride reagents, a …

An efficient tandem route to the synthesis of iodoisoquinoline-fused benzimidazole
derivatives including an iodocyclization strategy has been developed. In the presence of …

Recent advances in the design and synthesis of five-membered heterocycles containing
both sulfur and selenium atoms—1, 3-thiaselenolane and 1, 3-thiaselenole derivatives—are …

A convenient approach to synthesize novel selenium-β-lactams, 3-selena-1-dethiacephems
and selenazepines, was accomplished via the regioselective iodocyclization reaction. The …

Heterocyclic chemistry is an essential frontier in science and a source of novel biologically
active compounds. The development of innovative synthetic methodologies that allows …

A simple one-step method for the preparation of tribromoisocyanuric acid in good yield
(87%) has been developed. The reaction of tribromoisocyanuric acid with alkenes in …

PhICl2 in wet DMF was found to form an efficient system for realizing difunctionalization of
various alkenes and olefinic derivatives possessing a wide range of functional groups. This …

We have discovered a new route to 3-acylated indolizine structures via iodine-mediated
hydrative cyclization. Reaction mechanism is proposed for this novel transformation, which …
