Benefiting from the impressive increase in fundamental knowledge, the last 20 years have
shown a continuous burst of new ideas and consequently a plethora of new catalytic …

Titanium is the second most abundant transition metal and is already a key player in
important industrial processes (eg polyethylene). Titanium is an attractive metal to use for …

Stereochemical enrichment of a racemic mixture by deracemization must overcome
unfavorable entropic effects as well as the principle of microscopic reversibility; recently …

Bridged bicyclic scaffolds are emerging bioisosteres of planar aromatic rings under the
concept of “escape from flatland”. However, adopting this concept into the exploration of …

Ketyl radicals are valuable reactive intermediates for synthesis and are used extensively to
construct complex, functionalized products from carbonyl substrates. Single electron transfer …

This review highlights a number of additives that can be used to make asymmetric reactions
perfect. Without changing other reaction conditions, simply adding additives can lead to …

Low-valent early transition metals are often intrinsically highly reactive as a result of their
strong propensity toward oxidation to more stable high-valent states. Harnessing these …

The first highly enantioselective catalytic protocol for the reductive coupling of ketones and
hydrazones is reported. These reactions proceed through neutral ketyl radical intermediates …

Comprehensive Summary Alcohols are among the most accessible functionalities. Catalytic
deoxygenative functionalization of alcohols is highly synthetically appealing. While …

An iron‐catalyzed coupling reaction of O‐acyloximes and O‐benzoyl amidoximes with silyl
enol ethers is reported. The protocol provides access to functionalized pyrroles, 1, 6 …
