As on today, the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO 2) into value added chemicals including
methanol using exclusively solar energy (ie, artificial photosynthesis) has been considered …

β-Amino acids are useful building blocks of bioactive molecules, including peptidomimetics
and pharmaceutical compounds. The current limited accessibility to β2, 2-type amino acids …

Activate and reduce: Carbon dioxide was reduced with silane using a stable N‐heterocyclic
carbene organocatalyst to provide methanol under very mild conditions. Dry air can serve as …

The use of carbon dioxide as a renewable and environmentally friendly source of carbon is
highly attractive. This article focuses on recent developments in important new reactions and …

In this critical review, the progress in catalytic asymmetric synthesis of β-amino acids is
discussed, covering the literature since 2002. The review treats transition metal catalysis …

Homoenolate, a species containing anionic carbon β to a carbonyl group or a moiety that
can be transformed into a carbonyl group, is a potential three carbon synthon. Recent …

Imidazolium salts, distinct from their parent imidazoles, are made up of a discrete cation and
anion pair, and have found widespread utility as ionic liquids. A lesser known function of …

An oxidative γ-functionalization of enals under N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis to
give unsaturated δ-lactones is disclosed. Enantioselectivity control involving the relatively …

During recent years, the direct transformation of aldehydes into esters or amides has
developed into a vigorous research area and powerful one‐pot oxidative esterification and …
