While hydrogen plays an ever-increasing role in modern society, nature has utilized
hydrogen since a very long time as an energy carrier and storage molecule. Among the …

The mechanism of the Wittig reaction has long been a contentious issue in organic
chemistry. Even now, more than 50 years after its announcement, its presentation in many …

Many of the symbols used in stereochemical nomenclature are mentioned but details of their
assignment or their incorporation into chemical names are left to the appropriate …

We recently reported a new method for the direct dehydrogenative C–H silylation of
heteroaromatics utilizing Earth-abundant potassium tert-butoxide. Herein we report a …

In this article, we describe a combined experimental and theoretical mechanistic
investigation of the C (sp2)–F bond formation from neutral and cationic high-valent …

There have been numerous significant advances in catalytic olefin metathesis (OM) during
the past two decades. Such progress has transformed this important set of reactions to …

We report a method to construct chiral tetraorganosilicons by tandem silacyclobutane (SCB)
desymmetrization–dehydrogenative silylations. A wide array of dibenzosiloles with …

The synthesis and reactivity of geometrically constrained tricoordinate phosphorus (σ3-P)
compounds supported by tridentate triamide chelates (N [o-NR-C6H4] 23–; R= Me or i Pr) …

A monumental diversity of catalytic methods imparts the ability to select one of two
configurations of tetravalent stereocentres. Conversely, catalyst control over pentavalent …

Although bis (catecholato) silanes have been known for several decades, their substantial
Lewis acidity is not yet well described in the literature. Herewith, the synthesis and …
