In the present review, we discuss recent progress in the field of C–Z bond formation
reactions (Z= S, Se, Te) catalyzed by transition metals. Two complementary methodologies …

Transition metal catalysis has dramatically changed the face of modern organic chemistry by
introducing a range of novel synthetic methods. A number of outstanding catalytic systems …

Sulfur‐containing molecules such as thioethers are commonly found in chemical biology,
organic synthesis, and materials chemistry. While many reliable methods have been …

RN-18 based viral infectivity factor (Vif), Vif antagonists reduce viral infectivity by rescuing
APOBEC3G (A3G) expression and enhancing A3G-dependent Vif degradation …

The copper-mediated aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions developed by Fritz
Ullmann and Irma Goldberg required stoichiometric amounts of copper and very high …

The reaction of aryl thiols with aryl bromides usually provides thioethers as the major
products, even in the presence of a transition metal catalyst and a zinc mediator. We report …

Functionalization of arenes is a topic of central importance in diverse fields ranging from
medicinal chemistry to materials science. Metal-catalyzed cross-coupling and nucleophilic …

CuO nanoparticles have been studied for C− N, C− O, and C− S bond formations via cross-
coupling reactions of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur nucleophiles with aryl halides. Amides …

The synthesis of substituted benzimidazoles, 2-aminobenzimidazoles, 2-
aminobenzothiazoles, and benzoxazoles is described via intramolecular cyclization of o …

The presence of aryl sulfides in biologically active compounds has resulted in the
development of new methods to form carbon-sulfur bonds. The synthesis of aryl sulfides via …
