In the present review, we discuss recent progress in the field of C–Z bond formation
reactions (Z= S, Se, Te) catalyzed by transition metals. Two complementary methodologies …

During the past decades, synthetic organic chemistry discovered that directing group
assisted C–H activation is a key tool for the expedient and siteselective construction of C–C …

Photo-/electrochemical catalyzed oxidative R1-H/R2-H cross-coupling with hydrogen
evolution has become an increasingly important issue for molecular synthesis. The dream of …

Covering: January 2013 to September 2018 Sulfur-containing natural products are a large
class of significant functional molecules. Many of these compounds exhibit potent biological …

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 …

Research and industrial interest in radical C–H activation/radical cross-coupling chemistry
has continuously grown over the past few decades. These reactions offer fascinating and …

Carboxylic acids have gained more and more importance as versatile and renewable
starting materials for the formation of platform molecules or high-value chemicals. Many …

Molecules containing a sulfonyl functionality, such as sulfones, sulfonyl chlorides or
sulfonamides play an important role in organic chemistry and have found widespread …

Chalcogenide motifs are present as principal moieties in a vast array of natural products and
complex molecules. Till date, the construction of these chalcogen motifs has been restricted …

Here we report the direct conversion of strong, aliphatic C (sp 3)–H bonds into the
corresponding alkyl sulfinic acids via decatungstate photocatalysis. This transformation has …
