As the “chemical chameleon”, sulfonyl-containing compounds and their variants have been
merged with various types of reactions for the efficient construction of diverse molecular …

In this review, we summarize the origin and advancements of iridium-catalyzed asymmetric
allylic substitution reactions during the past two decades. Since the first report in 1997, Ir …

Transition metal-catalyzed C–H bond functionalizations have been the focus of intensive
research over the last decades for the formation of C–C bonds from unfunctionalized arenes …

The CF2H group, a potential surrogate for the OH group, can act as an unusual hydrogen
bond donor, as confirmed by crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational methods …

Fluorine, often called as “a small atom with a big ego”, 1 lies in the second row and the 17th
column in the periodic table of the chemical elements. This unique position in the periodic …

Over the past decade, the most significant, conceptual advances in the field of fluorination
were enabled most prominently by organo‐and transition‐metal catalysis. The most …

1. INTRODUCTION “All new is well-forgotten old”, the proverb goes. The current “fluorine
boom” 1 is news only to a novice in the field: the exceptional importance of fluorinated …

Drug candidates with one or more fluorines have become commonplace. The special nature
of fluorine imparts a variety of properties to certain medicines, including enhanced binding …

Owing to the excellent performance of fluorinated compounds in the areas of
pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials chemistry, organic chemists have made …

Recent advances in photoinduced trifluoromethylation and difluoroalkylation under
photocatalysis are summarized. Most of the photoredox reactions proceed efficiently under …
