The Petasis boron–Mannich reaction, simply referred to as the Petasis reaction, is a
powerful multicomponent coupling reaction of a boronic acid, an amine, and a carbonyl …

This Review describes the development of strategies for carbonyl–olefin metathesis
reactions relying on stepwise, stoichiometric, or catalytic approaches. A comprehensive …

First-row transition-metal-mediated reactions constitute an important and growing area of
research due to the low cost, low toxicity, and exceptional synthetic versatility of these …

The olefin metathesis reaction of two unsaturated substrates is one of the most powerful
carbon–carbon-bond-forming reactions in organic chemistry. Specifically, the catalytic olefin …

The a-amino-carboxylic-acids are one of the five major classes of natural products and they
exhibit.-important and diverse biological functions.',* Historically, the aminoacids have been …

An asymmetric synthesis of the fugu fish poison,(−)-tetrodotoxin, is described. The route to
this extraordinary target employs a number of unique transformations, foremost of which are …

Noteworthy developments of the Peterson olefination reaction are reviewed. Evidence for
both concerted and stepwise mechanisms for the Peterson olefination reaction is presented …

Among the wide variety of organometallic compounds, the relatively cheap and safely
handled nontransition-metal derivatives, in particular organolithium, organomagnesium …

Concise syntheses of the Cephalotaxus norditerpenoids cephanolides A–D (8–14 steps
from commercial material) using a common late-stage synthetic intermediate are described …

Conspectus Metal-bonded carbon atoms in metal–alkyl, metal–carbene/alkylidene, and
