This tutorial review provides a comparison between the concepts of catalytic decarboxylative
and decarbonylative couplings for the ipso-substitution of carboxylate groups, and illustrates …

The one-pot reductive synthesis of aldehydes from carboxylic acids and their derivatives
without the formation of alkanol intermediates, in a redox-economical fashion, is …

Homogenous catalyst plays an important role in modern organic synthesis, especially now
that more focus is being placed the development of sustainable chemistry. With the …

B (C6F5) 3 efficiently catalyzes hydrosilylation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids to
produce disilyl acetals under mild conditions. Catalyst loadings can be as low as 0.05 mol …

Facile reductions of carboxylic acids to aldehydes or alcohols can be effected under mild
conditions upon initial conversion to their corresponding S-2-pyridyl thioesters. Upon …

Background A strategy employing water as a hydrogen source is promising but challenging.
Conversely, urea is the major pollutants causing substantial water pollution. Moreover, direct …

A simple and straightforward method using non‐polluting solvents and a single thermal
treatment step at moderate temperature was investigated as an environmentally‐friendly …

The direct reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes is a fundamental transformation in
organic synthesis. The combination of an air-stable Ni precatalyst, dimethyl dicarbonate as …

The transition metal-catalyzed direct C–H (hetero) arylation reactions of heteroarenes are
currently one of the hottest topics of synthetic organic chemistry. In fact, these reactions …

A RhI‐catalyzed direct C2‐arylation of indoles with diversely substituted aryl carboxylic
acids has been developed using 2‐pyrimidyl group as an easily installable and readily …
