For centuries, gold had been considered a precious, purely decorative inert metal. It was not
until 1986 that Ito and Hayashi described the first application of gold (I) in homogeneous …

The catalyst-directed divergent synthesis, commonly termed as “divergent catalysis”, has
emerged as a promising technique as it allows chartering of structurally distinct products …

This Review examines recent developments in late transition metal-catalyzed
hydroamination and-amidation reactions. A hydroamination is a reaction in which an N− H …

Despite the ubiquity of metallic gold (Au) in popular culture, its deployment in homogeneous
catalysis has only recently undergone widespread investigation. In the past decade, and …

Thanks to its unusual stability, metallic gold has been used for thousands of years in jewelry,
currency, chinaware, and so forth. However, gold had not become the chemists'“precious …

Synthetic chemists are constantly challenged to consider more environmentally benign
methods for generation of the desired target molecules. 1 Recently, there has been an …

Substituted heterocycles are a structural component of a vast number of biologically active
natural and non-natural compounds. Synthesis of various heterocycles has been a research …

Sequential reactions, through the incorporation of several distinct transformations into one
single sequence, are one of the most powerful synthetic tools in modern organic chemistry …

The construction of C–C and C–X (X= hetero atom) bonds is the core aspect for the
assembly of molecules. In this regard, late transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling …
