Since its introduction to organic synthesis in 1977 by Kagan, 1, 2 samarium (II) iodide (SmI2,
Kagan's reagent) has gained the status of one of the most versatile single-electron transfer …

Explosive growth in the use of open shell reactivity, including neutral radicals and radical
ions, in the field of synthetic organic chemistry has been observed in the past decade …

Covering: 2011–2017 Radical cyclizations have a rich history in organic chemistry and have
been particularly generous to the field of natural product synthesis. Owing to their ability to …

New catalytic strategies that leverage single-electron redox events have provided chemists
with useful tools for solving synthetic problems. In this context, Ti offers opportunities that are …

One of the largest classes of naturally occurring bioactive compounds, the terpenoids, is of
extraordinary pharmacological importance. 1, 2 The sphere of activity of terpenoids covers …

The power of cation-initiated cyclizations of polyenes for the synthesis of polycyclic
terpenoids cannot be overstated. However, a major limitation is the intolerance of many …

Even flexible linear substrates are conformationally fixed within the hydrophobic confined
cavities of enzymes. This enables preorganization of the substrates and their positioning in …

Although great success has been achieved in selective C–C bond cleavage via the
intramolecular radical remote migration process of several carbon-based groups, the …
