This Review compiles the evolution, mechanistic understanding, and more recent advances
in enantioselective Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution and decarboxylative and oxidative allylic …

Stereoconvergent catalysis is an important subset of asymmetric synthesis that
encompasses stereoablative transformations, dynamic kinetic resolutions, and dynamic …

The asymmetric alkylation of enolates is a particularly versatile method for the construction
of α-stereogenic carbonyl motifs, which are ubiquitous in synthetic chemistry. Over the past …

Catalytic cross-coupling reactions have had a profound impact on the synthesis of
pharmaceuticals, biologically active natural products, and materials. 1 Such reactions …

Controlling the selectivity of synthetically useful reactions has been a longstanding objective
of organic chemistry. We report a regiodivergent synthetic protocol allowing access to …

This book provides a noteworthy compilation of the groundbreaking methods of
stereoselective synthesis, belonging to the repertoire of every modern practitioner of …

Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric allylic alkylation (DAAA) of allyl enol
carbonates as a highly chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective process for the synthesis of …

The family of allylation reactions developed by Tsuji in the 1980s are capable of generating
tertiary and quaternary carbon stereocenters from several synthetic precursors. Despite the …

Modulating the reaction selectivity is highly attractive and pivotal to the rational design of
synthetic regimes. The defluorinative functionalization of gem-difluorocyclopropanes …

Enantioselective protonation is a common process in biosynthetic sequences. The
decarboxylase and esterase enzymes that effect this valuable transformation are able to …
