The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and
CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-electron processes. As a …

O2, one of ideal oxidants, suffers from low solubility, low oxidizability, low selectivity and
triplet ground state in its application to organic synthesis. Biomimetic copper catalysis has …

A copper-catalyzed hydroxysulfenylation of α, β-unsaturated esters/amides is reported. The
method presents a selective and efficient synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides bearing electron …

This note describes a dimethyl dicarbonate-assisted, Pd (OAc) 2/PPh3-catalyzed acylative
Suzuki coupling of carboxylic acids with diarylborinic acids or tetraarylboronates for practical …

In the present study, the nickel-catalyzed carbon carbon bond formation of a range of sulfur
containing substrates with Grignard reagents via desulfurization has been explored. After …

The practical and mild aerobic oxidative CuCN‐mediated cyanation of thiophenols and
diaryl disulfides was investigated. The reaction was performed in air at room temperature …

An experimental mechanistic study of the aerobic copper-catalyzed decarboxylative
thiolation of benzoic acids with arenethiols is reported. For the model reaction, the findings …

The chemoselective borylation of bromoiodoarenes under continuous flow conditions is
described. Bromoarylboronic acids were synthesized in high yields using i PrMgCl• LiCl as …

Electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) is used to monitor a Cu‐catalyzed
aerobic cross‐coupling reaction between thiol esters and arylboronic acids. The ESI spectra …

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the 2°
alcohol oxidation to acetophenone catalyzed by the CuI/L-Proline-2, 2, 6, 6 …
