Cooperative catalysis with first‐row transition metals holds much promise for future
developments regarding sustainable, selective transformations, including eg alkenes …

Ligands in coordination chemistry and homogeneous catalysis are traditionally “static”
spectators that do not actively participate in the catalytic cycle. However, such classic …

Well-known hybrid ligands are P, N-oxazolines, short PHOX, introduced by the groups of
Pfaltz and Helmchen [1] about 15 years ago, which bind by a soft (phosphorus) and hard …

The hemilabile character of 2-pyridyl carbaldehyde hydrazones as N, N bidentate ligands is
key to performing regioselective IrIII-catalyzed ortho borylations of 2-aryl pyridines …

A series of new iridium (III) complexes containing bidentate N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHC)
functionalized with an alcohol or ether group (NHC OR, R= H, Me) were prepared. The …

A novel class of chiral bidentate ligands with a carbene and an oxazoline moiety is obtained
by the coupling of N-arylimidazoles and a 2-bromooxazoline derivative. The rhodium …

Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) is a prominent reagent used in organic synthesis. In this
Review, rate studies of LDA‐mediated reactions are placed in the broader context of organic …

The first organocatalytic asymmetric functionalization of aldehydes with a P-based
compound has been successfully developed; the use of a simple chiral secondary amine …

We report the C− H alkylation of biarylphosphines at the ortho′ position (s) with alkenes by
using rhodium (I) catalysis, which provides straightforward access to a large library of …

(Chemical Equation Presented) Top of the PO-Ps: Stabilization of a cationic rhodium catalyst
with the hemilabile POP ligand dpephos allows efficient intermolecular hydroacylation of …
