In this work, we have established a photoredox/Ti dual‐catalyzed dehydroxylation of
cyclobutanone oximes. The resulting γ‐cyanoalkyl radicals undergo a cascade radical …

The polycyclic natural product lingzhiol [(±)-1] was synthesized from dimethoxytetralone 8
via cyclization of an intermediate benzylic radical, generated from spiroepoxide 14, onto an …

Substrate-directable reactions play a pivotal role in organic synthesis, but are uncommon in
reactions proceeding via radical mechanisms. Herein, we provide experimental evidence …

Preservation of industrial's lactic acid bacteria (probiotics) by freeze-drying. Lactic acid
bacteria have important nutritional needs and do not have resistance against the …

Übergangsmetallkatalysierte Radikalreaktionen gewinnen in der modernen organischen
Chemie zunehmend an Bedeutung. Sie bieten faszinierende und unkonventionelle …

Through kinetic analysis, we demonstrate that the formation of catalyst and substrate
reservoirs plays a crucial role in the titanium (III)-catalyzed ketone-nitrile coupling reaction …

Sespenine is a structurally unusual indole sesquiterpenoid isolated from endophytic
Streptomyces sp. HKI0595. Herein, we report a ten-step (the longest linear sequence) …

A detailed experimental and theoretical study corroborates that the reductive deoxygenation
of activated (allylic or benzylic) alcohols with excess Ti (III) proceeds via an allyl (benzyl) …

Conspectus From the venerable Robinson annulation to the irreplaceable Diels–Alder
cycloaddition, annulation reactions have fueled the progression of the field of natural …

Covering: 1960 to present This review summarizes the state-of-the-art on the use of
transition metals in synthetic steps inspired by biosynthesis. After an introduction showing …
