Comprehensive Summary Cyclobutane derivatives have been recognized as useful
structural motifs in organic synthesis and drug design. With the revival of photochemistry, the …

Cyclobutanones hold a privileged role in enantioselective desymmetrization because their
inherent ring strain allows for a variety of unusual reactions to occur. Current strategies …

A Pd‐catalyzed fluoroarylation of gem‐difluoroalkenes with aryl halides is reported. By
taking advantage of the in situ generated α‐CF3‐benzylsilver intermediates derived from the …

Isoscopariusin A was isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon scoparius. Chemical synthesis
and spectroscopic analysis established its structure as an unsymmetrical meroditerpenoid …

The enantioselective intramolecular α‐arylation of cyclobutanones has been established by
combining palladium and enamine catalyst systems. Two different enantioselective control …

The remote C (sp3)–H functionalization enabled by a radical-mediated 1, 5-hydrogen-atom
transfer (HAT) process using vinyl azides and 1, 4-dihydropyridines as precursors has been …

To show the synthetic utility of the catalytic C− C activation of less strained substrates,
described here are the collective and concise syntheses of the natural products (−) …

The indispensable role of α‐arylated compounds in chemistry can be accounted from its
presence in various pharmaceuticals we use in our daily life. Chemists are establishing …

An efficient atom-economic rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylative cyclization to access
enantioenriched 1-tetralones, bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter, is described …

A diverse array of isoquinolines and phenanthridines have been accessed by develo** a
two-step, one-pot method constituting regioselective palladium-catalyzed Kuwajima–Urabe …
