Indoles by 1,2-Carbon Migration | Journal of the American Chemical Society Recently …

Haloalkynes can enter a wide variety of metal-catalyzed transformation giving rise to the
formation of products with or without showing halide-shift. This article offers an overall view …

C–H functionalization reactions catalyzed by iron, the most abundant transition metallic
element in the Earth's crust, are one of the ideal synthetic methods. However, there are a …

The cyclization of heteroatom‐functionalized alkynes induced by d6‐transition‐metal
centers has traditionally been associated with the vinylidene pathway. However, recent …

Internal alkyne-to-vinylidene isomerization in the Ru complexes ([CpRu (η2-PhC CC6H4R-
