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

The scarcity of precious metals has led to the development of sustainable strategies for
metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions. The establishment of new catalytic methods …

Direct C–H bond functionalization catalyzed by non-precious transition metals is an
attractive strategy in synthetic chemistry. Compared with the precious metals rhodium …

Amines and carboxylic acids are abundant synthetic building blocks that are classically
united to form an amide bond. To access new pockets of chemical space, we are interested …

Excising the nitrogen in secondary amines, and coupling the two residual fragments is a
skeletal editing strategy that can be used to construct molecules with new skeletons, but …

Direct coupling of unactivated alcohols remains a challenge in current synthetic chemistry.
We herein demonstrate a strategy building upon in situ halogenation/reductive coupling of …

Since C (sp3)–O bonds are a ubiquitous chemical motif in both natural and artificial organic
molecules, the universal transformation of C (sp3)–O bonds will be a key technology for …

Although palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl halides and reactive pseudohalides
has revolutionized the way organic molecules are constructed today across various fields of …

Herein we present a Bi-catalyzed cross-coupling of arylboronic acids with perfluoroalkyl
sulfonate salts based on a Bi (III)/Bi (V) redox cycle. An electron-deficient sulfone ligand …

The Ni-catalyzed reaction of ortho-fluoro-substituted aromatic amides with alkynes results in
C–F/N–H annulation to give 1 (2 H)-isoquinolinones. A key to the success of the reaction is …
