Abstract This Focus Review summarizes recent developments in palladium‐catalyzed
alkene carboalkoxylation and carboamination reactions. New synthetic methods that have …

Elemenes are sesquiterpene natural products extracted from Chinese medicinal herbs and
have been used as an important antitumor drug in China. Here, we report the first …

The synthesis of 3-methoxy-benzanthrones was achieved in two steps by Suzuki–Miyaura
coupling and BBr3-promoted Friedel–Crafts acylation under mild conditions with an overall …

A novel cascade annulation of 1, 7-diynes with water has been developed for the synthesis
of furo [3, 4-c] quinolin-4 (5 H)-one skeletons with high atom-and step-economy. The …

We describe the synthesis of α-alkynyl-β-substituted cyclic ketones and analogue
chromanones via one-pot Michael addition/hypervalent iodine-based α-alkynylation. Cu (I) …

Tricyclic indolines are common in both natural products and synthetic chemical probes. In
this study we demonstrated that enantiomerically pure tricyclic indolines can be prepared …

The synthesis of homopropargylic alcohols under metal-free and mild condition is described.
This transformation is based on a one-pot procedure involving sequential α-alkynylation of …

The ent-kaurane diterpenoid chepraecoxin A (CA) obtained in our previous study showed a
potential inhibitory activity on α-glucosidase (IC 50 274.5±12.5 μM). In order to figure out the …

The total synthesis of orientalol F has been achieved starting from 1, 4-dioxaspirodecan-8-
one 11 in 13 steps. The key steps in this synthesis feature:(1) gold-catalyzed tandem …

The hydroxymethylation of alkynylsilanes with formaldehyde generated in situ from N‐
[(trimethylsiloxy) methyl] phthalimide proceeds in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of …
