Transition-metal-catalyzed decarbonylation via carbon–carbon bond cleavage is an
essential synthetic methodology. Given the ubiquity of carbonyl compounds, the selective …

Homogeneous catalytic reactions are typically controlled by the stereoelectronic nature of
the ligand (s) that bind to the metal (s). The advantages of the so-called first coordination …

Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of two ruthenium-based pincer-type
catalysts,[1] X (X= Cl, PF6) and 2, containing two different tridentate pincer ligands, 2 …

Ruthenium (II)-catalyzed C (sp2)–H functionalization of N-aryl phthalazinones with a range
of aldehydes and activated ketone is described. Initial formation of hydroxyalkylated …

An organoselenium-catalyzed oxidative exo-selective ring-closing reaction of unsaturated
alcohol promoted by 1-fluoropyridinium triflate (FP-OTf), N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) …

A direct carbocyclization of 2‐aryl‐2, 3‐dihydrophthalazine‐1, 4‐diones is achieved using
isocyanates as carbonyl source via Ru (II)‐catalyzed sequential ortho‐amidation followed by …

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions of non-activated aryl fluorides with
amide enolates are reported. The reaction proceeds under relatively mild reaction …

This study applies machine learning (ML) to predict activation energy barriers for cis‐trans
isomerization in twisted amides, focusing on the C= N bond. Amides are increasingly used …

C− H bond cleavage is a key step for the formation of new C− Rh bond in Rh-catalyzed
alkylation of aniline derivatives. Due to the inherent basicity of aniline, there is ongoing …

The catalytic hydrogenation of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds is a crucial
process; however, nitrogen removal severely restricts product selectivity. Consequently, this …
