The story of C− C bond formation includes several reactions, and surely Suzuki‐Miyaura is
among the most outstanding ones. Herein, a brief historical overview of insights regarding …

Transition-metal-catalyzed decarbonylation via carbon–carbon bond cleavage is an
essential synthetic methodology. Given the ubiquity of carbonyl compounds, the selective …

Organic halides are important building blocks in synthesis, but their use in (photo) redox
chemistry is limited by their low reduction potentials. Halogen-atom transfer remains the …

A critically important process in catalysis is the formation of an active catalyst from the
combination of a metal precursor and a ligand, as the efficacy of this reaction governs the …

The amide bond represents the most fundamental functional group in numerous areas of
chemistry, such as organic synthesis, drug discovery, polymers, and biochemistry. Although …

Carbon–heteroatom bonds, most often amide and ester bonds, are the standard method to
link together two complex fragments because carboxylic acids, amines, and alcohols are …

While ketones are among the most versatile functional groups, their synthesis remains
reliant upon reactive and low‐abundance starting materials. In contrast, amide formation is …

Conspectus The utilization of carboxylic acid esters as electrophiles in metal-catalyzed cross-
coupling reactions is increasingly popular, as environmentally friendly and readily available …

Scaffold diversity is a key feature of a compound library and plays a pivotal role in its
success in biological screening. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop efficient …

The nickel‐catalyzed three‐component reductive carbonylation of alkyl halides, aryl halides,
and ethyl chloroformate is described. Ethyl chloroformate is utilized as a safe and readily …
