Abstract “Green chemistry” and sustainable catalysis are increasingly attracting significant
attention, in both industry and academia. Multicomponent reactions aim towards “greener” …

Since the beginning of the 2000's, homogeneous gold catalysis has emerged as a powerful
tool to promote the cyclization of unsaturated substrates with excellent regioselectivity …

Electrophilic addition of alkenes is a textbook reaction that plays a pivotal role in organic
chemistry. In the past decades, catalytic asymmetric variants of this important type of reaction …

Silver and gold complexes bearing unsaturated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands, with
unsymmetrical N-substituents and hydrogen or chlorine on backbone, have been …

The potential of copper (I)-zeolite catalysis was evaluated in the three-component KA2-
coupling mediated synthesis of α-tertiary propargylamines. Our archetypal copper (I)-doped …

The synthesis of propargylamines by traditional methods is limited by several drawbacks
such as anhydrous conditions, low temperatures and by-products. A3-coupling reactions …

Owing of their accessibility and wide range of reactivities, alkynes make for fascinating
building blocks. Either a selective alkyne carbon-carbon triple bond reaction or activation of …

The study of catalysts activity at ultralow concentration is of prime importance for the
development of more sustainable catalytic processes. In this work, we designed a …

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are one of the most versatile type of ligands described up to
date, this being in part due to the facile modulation of their electronic and steric properties …

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is an efficient alternative to synthetic polymeric analogues
for utilization as a green stabilizer and reducing agent in the preparation of unique metal …
