The metal-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA) reaction has emerged as a
general and powerful approach for the construction of optically active compounds and is …

Azlactones (also known as oxazolones) are heterocycles usually employed in the
stereoselective synthesis of α, α‐amino acids, heterocycles and natural products. The …

The field of multimetallic catalysis is rapidly develo** and some multimetallic complexes
catalyze organic transformations to yield the desired products in more efficient ways owing …

As a structural analog of oxazoline, imidazoline (4, 5‐dihydroimidazole) has received much
attention in the rational design of chiral ligands. The additional N‐substituent provides …

Metallophilic interactions in d10–d10 (AuI–AuI)/d8–d8 (PtII–PtII, RhI–RhI, IrI–IrI) complexes
have been widely studied for decades, and metal–metal (M–M) bonding character has been …

Enantiopure fluorine containing β-amino acids are of large biological and pharmaceutical
interest. Strategies to prepare β-amino acid derivatives possessing a F-containing …

We have systematically explored the factors impacting the stability and reactivity of the [Pd
(O2CR) 2] 2 and [Pd (OAc)(DG-Ar)] 2 dimers in Pd (OAc) 2-catalyzed and directing group …

Imidazoline is an important class of compounds found in numerous natural and
pharmaceutical products. The compounds are also used as an intermediate in the synthesis …

The nitrosoguanidinate complexes [Ni {NHC (NR2) NN (O)} 2](R2= Me21,(CH2) 4O 2,(CH2)
43,(CH2) 54,(Me) Ph 5, Ph26,(p-MeC6H4) 27) were obtained in low-to-moderate (12–26%) …

Enynes are important motifs in bioactive compounds. They can be synthesized by alkyne–
alkyne couplings for which a number of mechanisms have been suggested depending on …
