The simple and efficient conversion of carbonyl compounds into functionalized alkanes via
deoxygenation is highly enabling in chemical synthesis. This Review covers the recent …

Construction of new carbon–carbon bonds is the cornerstone of organic chemistry.
Organometallic reagents are amongst the most robust and versatile nucleophiles for this …

Conventional approaches for Pd‐catalyzed ring‐opening cross‐couplings of gem‐
difluorocyclopropanes with nucleophiles predominantly deliver the β‐fluoroalkene scaffolds …

Carbonyl Umpolung is a powerful strategy in organic chemistry to construct complex

Phenols are important organic molecules because they have found widespread applications
in many fields. Herein, an efficient and practical approach to prepare phenols from benzoic …

A cross-electrophile coupling between gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes and 2, 2-
difluorovinyl tosylate via dual Ni/Pd cooperative catalysis under mild reaction conditions is …

Chemodivergent cross‐couplings are those in which either one of two (or more) potentially
reactive functional groups can be made to react based on choice of conditions. In particular …

Reported here is a new protocol for the decarboxylative oxygenation of carboxylic acids
using a non-heme manganese catalyst under blue light irradiation with O2 as the sole …

A visible-light-induced, transition-metal and photosensitizer-free cross-coupling of aryl
iodides with hydrazones was developed. In this strategy, hydrazones were used as …

The biaryl motif is a building block in many drugs, agrochemicals, and materials, and as
such it is highly desirable as a synthesis target. The state-of-the-art process for biaryl …
