Redox processes are at the heart of synthetic methods that rely on either electrochemistry or
photoredox catalysis, but how do electrochemistry and photoredox catalysis compare? Both …

Within the wide family of gold-catalyzed reactions, gold photocatalysis intrinsically features
unique elementary steps. When gold catalysis meets photocatalysis, a valence change of …

As the “chemical chameleon”, sulfonyl-containing compounds and their variants have been
merged with various types of reactions for the efficient construction of diverse molecular …

Sulfones are common, readily available reagents that have recently attracted attention as
versatile reagents for cross-coupling reactions. This Review summarizes advances in …

Sulfones are flexible functional groups that can act as nucleophiles, electrophiles, or even
radicals. Changing the reaction conditions can completely alter the reactivity of a sulfonyl …

Driven by the ever-increasing pace of drug discovery and the need to push the boundaries
of unexplored chemical space, medicinal chemists are routinely turning to unusual strained …

Monofluoroalkenes are an important fluorinated class of compounds with applications in
medicinal chemistry, material sciences and organic chemistry. An overview of methods …

A comprehensive program for the synthesis of natural (or unnatural) products is analogous
