Until recently, computational tools were mainly used to explain chemical reactions after
experimental results were obtained. With the rapid development of software and hardware …

cis-Delivery of H2 to the π-system of an unsaturated substrate is the canonical course of
metal catalyzed hydrogenation reactions. The semireduction of internal alkynes with the aid …

The hydrogenation of internal alkynes with [Cp* Ru]-based catalysts is distinguished by an
unorthodox stereochemical course in that E-alkenes are formed by trans-delivery of the two …

A heteroleptic dirhodium paddlewheel complex comprising three chiral carboxylate ligands
and one achiral acetamidate ligand has recently been found to be uniquely effective in …

While 1, 2-addition represents the most common mode of alkyne hydroboration, herein we
describe a new 1, 1-hydroboration mode. It is the first demonstration of gem-(H, B) addition …

A wide variety of annulation reactions have been developed using Cp∗ RuCl (cod) and
related complexes as precatalysts. This digest highlights recent progress in Cp∗ RuCl …

Disclosed here is the first geminal (gem‐) hydroborative cyclization of enynes. Different from
known hydroborative cyclizations, this process adds hydrogen and boron to the same …

Although hydroboration of simple ketones and alkynes have been well-established, little is
known about the unique hydroboration reactivity for ynones, a family of important building …

Achieving divergent synthesis from the same substrates quickly to generate different
products remains an attractive objective in synthetic chemistry and the medicinal industry …

The only recently discovered gem-hydrogenation of internal alkynes is a fundamentally new
transformation, in which both H atoms of dihydrogen are transferred to the same C atom of a …
