Quinones are common stoichiometric reagents in organic chemistry. Para‐quinones with
high reduction potentials, such as DDQ and chloranil, are widely used and typically promote …

Conspectus Oxidation reactions play a central role in organic synthesis, and it is highly
desirable that these reactions are mild and occur under catalytic conditions. In Nature …

This Minireview presents recent important homogenous aerobic oxidative reactions which
are assisted by electron transfer mediators (ETMs). Compared with direct oxidation by …

Herein, we report an electrochemical oxidative palladium‐catalyzed carbonylation‐
carbocyclization of enallenols to afford γ‐lactones and spirolactones, which proceeds with …

Quinolines are common pharmacophores present in numerous FDA-approved
pharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds. Here, we report the design and …

Isoxazoles and their derivatives represent privileged heteroaromatic motifs, which exhibit
remarkable biological and pharmaceutical activities. Notably, metal catalyzed or mediated …

We report the first FeII‐catalyzed biomimetic aerobic oxidation of alcohols. The principle of
this oxidation, which involves several electron‐transfer steps, is reminiscent of biological …

Phosphane and N‐heterocyclic carbene ligated gold (I) chlorides can be effectively
activated by Na [Me3NB12Cl11](1) under silver‐free conditions. This activation method with …

Palladium‐catalyzed cascade cyclization reactions have witnessed significant
improvements in recent years. Among them, palladium‐catalyzed cascade cyclization …

A highly efficient palladium-catalyzed oxidative cascade reaction of enallenes undergoing
overall four C–C bond formations has been developed. The insertion cascade proceeds via …
