The catalyst-directed divergent synthesis, commonly termed as “divergent catalysis”, has
emerged as a promising technique as it allows chartering of structurally distinct products …

Three-and four-membered rings, widespread motifs in nature and medicinal chemistry, have
fascinated chemists ever since their discovery. However, due to energetic considerations …

The allene functionality has participated in one of the most exciting voyages in organic
chemistry, from chemical curiosities to a recurring building block in modern organic …

Tethering a metal complex to its phosphate counterion via a phosphine ligand enables a
new strategy in asymmetric counteranion-directed catalysis (ACDC). A straightforward …

Asymmetric catalysis holds a prominent position among the important developments in
chemistry during the 20th century. This was acknowledged by the 2001 Nobel Prize in …

Abstract α‐Allenol is a versatile synthon in organic synthesis. The catalytic asymmetric
synthesis of α‐allenols from readily available starting materials remains a prominent …

Gold carbene complexes have been recognized as common intermediates in gold-catalyzed
organic syntheses. In this field, α-imino gold carbene complexes, in the last few years, have …

Gold (I) complexes of a chiral phosphoric acid-functionalized phosphine of the CPA-Phos
series enable the enantioselective multicomponent reactions between aldehydes …

Abstract An efficient catalytic asymmetric [2+ 2] cycloaddition of allenyl imide and mono‐or
disubstituted alkenes is disclosed. The key feature of this method is the use of bidentate …

Silacycle is one of the most essential core frameworks in silicon-containing functional
molecules. However, the structural diversity of silacycles has been largely limited due to the …
