One of the simplest organic functional groups, the alkyne, offers a broad canvas for the
design of cascade transformations in which up to three new bonds can be added to each of …

Carbo-and heterocycles are widely found in natural products, biologically active structures,
medicinally relevant compounds, and in many other fine chemicals. The development of …

Cascade radical cyclization is an attractive synthetic method due to its high atom-and step-
economy to construct carbo-and heterocycles, which have wide applications in chemical …

Chiral nanographenes are an intriguing class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structures,
where combining the unique properties of inherently chiral molecules with the optical …

Over the past few years, the development of new radical reactions has gained considerable
momentum. Most such radical transformations heavily depend on the in situ generation of …

A rhodium-catalyzed annulation between ethyl benzimidates and α-aroyl sulfur ylides was
developed, affording a series of pyrano [4, 3, 2-ij] isoquinoline derivatives in moderate to …

An electrochemical cyclization reaction of easily available urea-tethered diynes has been
developed for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) …

Aromatic organotin (IV) compounds are a valuable class of reagents widely used in cross-
coupling reactions. However, the toxicity of the most popular tributyl-substituted …

Conspectus Do not bend the triple bonds! This familiar undergraduate mantra must be
disobeyed if the alkyne group is used as a building block in molecular construction. This …

Radical difunctionalization of aliphatic alkynes provides direct access to valuable multi‐
substituted alkenes, but achieving a high level of chemo‐and stereo‐control remains a …
