The development of catalytic enantioselective transformations, enabling the construction of
complex molecular scaffolds from simple precursors, has been a long-standing challenge in …

In the past decades, the iridium-catalyzed C–H bond borylation and other newly discovered
catalytic borylation reactions have received extensive research interests and developed into …

The functionalization of C–H bonds in organic molecules containing functional groups has
been one of the holy grails of catalysis. One synthetically important approach to the diverse …

Organosilicon compounds act as a nucleophile upon activation by an appropriate base and
behave in a manner similar to main-group organometallic reagents. In the last decades …

Computational methods based on quantum mechanical modeling are increasingly used to
provide insight into mechanistic aspects of homogeneous catalysis. While the potential and …

Catalytic borylations of sp 3 C–H bonds occur with high selectivities for primary C–H bonds
or secondary C–H bonds that are activated by nearby electron-withdrawing substituents …

We herein report an iridium-catalyzed enantioselective α-C (sp3)–H borylation of a wide
range of azacycles. The combination of an iridium precursor and a chiral bidentate boryl …

This review summarises the most recent advances in Ir–NHC catalysis while revisiting all the
classical reactions in which this type of catalyst has proved to be active. The influence of the …

A pyridinebis (oxazoline) cobalt complex is a very efficient precatalyst for the hydrosilylation
of terminal alkynes with Ph2SiH2, providing α‐vinylsilanes with high (Markovnikov) …

We herein report an Ir-catalyzed enantioselective C (sp3)–H borylation of
cyclopropanecarboxamides using a chiral bidentate boryl ligand for the first time. A variety of …
