The efficiency, selectivity and sustainability benefits offered by enzymes are enticing
chemists to consider biocatalytic transformations to complement or even supplant more …

High selectivity and exquisite control over the outcome of reactions entice chemists to use
biocatalysts in organic synthesis. However, many useful reactions are not accessible …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

The mechanism of cobalt (II)− porphyrin-mediated cyclopropanation of olefins with
diazoesters was studied. The first step reaction of cobalt (II)− porphyrin with ethyl …

Homogeneous catalysis has been responsible for many major recent developments in
synthetic organic chemistry. The combined use of organometallic and coordination …

The metal‐catalyzed decomposition of diazo compounds in the presence of alkenes is a
well‐established reaction. Since the original Organic Reactions review on the reaction of …

A multitude of organic transformations catalyzed by dirhodium (II)(Rh2) complexes are
thought to proceed via the intermediacy of highly reactive, electrophilic carbenoid …

Abstract The germanium (iv), tin (iv), and phosphorus (v) complexes of tris
(pentafluorophenyl) corrole were prepared and investigated by electrochemistry for …

Iron porphryin complexes are active catalysts for the cyclopropanation of alkenes by ethyl
diazoacetate. Fe (TTP)(TTP= meso-tetra-p-tolylporphyrin), an isolated iron (II) porphyrin …

Catalytic carbene transfer to olefins is a useful approach to synthesize cyclopropanes, which
are key structural motifs in many drugs and biologically active natural products. While …
