In the investigation of efficient chemical transformations, the carbon-carbon bond-forming
reactions play an outstanding role. In this context, organocatalytic processes have achieved …

Organocatalyzed reactions represent an attractive alternative to metal‐catalyzed processes
notably because of their lower cost and benign environmental impact in comparison to …

While organocatalyzed domino reactions or “organocascade catalysis” developed into an
important tool in synthetic chemistry during the past decade, the utility of N‐heterocyclic …

Abstract The legacy of Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946) pervades the lexicon of chemical
bonding and reactivity. The power of his concept of donor–acceptor bonding is evident in the …

Catalytic reactions promoted by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have exploded in
popularity since 2004 when several reports described new fundamental reactions that …

N‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis has been developed as an important
approach in modern organic synthesis. Versatile activation modes within NHC …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) belong to the popular family of organocatalysts used in a
wide range of reactions, including that for the synthesis of complex natural products and …

Cross-coupling reactions are among the most widely utilized methods for C–C bond
formation; however, the requirement of preactivated starting materials still presents a major …

Homoenolate is a reactive intermediate that possesses an anionic or nucleophilic carbon β
to a carbonyl group or its synthetic equivalent. The recent discovery that homoenolates can …
