There is a growing need in organic synthesis for efficient methodologies for the asymmetric
synthesis of quaternary carbon centres. One of the most attractive and straightforward …

The direct addition of organometallic reagents to carbonyl compounds is an efficient and
versatile method to generate CC bonds with concomitant formation of secondary and tertiary …

A solution to the long-standing problem of catalytic asymmetric vinylation of ketones is
reported. Vinylzinc reagents are generated via hydrozirconation of terminal alkynes followed …

This communication describes the catalytic asymmetric 1, 2-addition of vinylzinc reagents to
aromatic, α, β-unsaturated, and dialkyl ketones with enantioselectivities between 79 and …

The stereoselective formation of chiral tertiary alcohols is of great importance for the
synthesis of enantiomerically pure natural products and pharmaceuticals. The simplest …

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs), based on TiO2 and assembled using a dye from Beta
vulgaris extract (BVE) with Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), are reported. The dye BVE/TEOS …

This paper reports on the improving photochemical properties of natural dye using acid
treatment, coadsorber addition, and dye combination. The natural pigments have been …

In this Communication, we outline a new one-pot, multicomponent coupling reaction that
allows easy access to (Z)-trisubstituted allylic alcohols. Our strategy is based on E to Z …

A novel asymmetric 3-furyl addition of (3-furyl) Ti (O i Pr) 3 to ketones in the presence of 10
mol%(S)-BINOL is reported. The catalytic system works excellently for aromatic ketones, α-or …
