The development of novel synthetic strategies to form new chemical entities in a
stereoselective manner is an ongoing significant objective in organic and medicinal …

Disubstituted oxindoles represent an important family of bioactive compounds and synthetic
derivatives that mimic natural products. The construction of the asymmetric quaternary …

The feasibility of cooperative catalysis between chiral N‐heterocyclic carbenes and nickel in
asymmetric reactions has been demonstrated convincingly. The high efficiency of this …

An efficient one‐pot assembly of all‐carbon spiro‐oxindole compounds from non‐oxindole‐
based materials has been developed through a palladium‐catalyzed asymmetric …

A desymmetrization strategy was developed involving iridium‐catalyzed allylic
dearomatization of indoles. The six‐membered‐ring spiroindolenines contain three …

A highly enantio‐and diastereoselective formal (4+ 3) cycloaddition of 1, 3‐diene‐1‐
carbamates with 3‐indolylmethanols in the presence of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst is …

We have developed a stereospecific, nickel-catalyzed Miyaura borylation of allylic pivalates,
which delivers highly enantioenriched α-stereogenic γ-aryl allylboronates with good yields …

Direct capture of solar energy for chemical transformation via photocatalysis proves to be a
cost-effective and energy-saving approach to construct organic compounds. With the recent …

The role of oxindole derivatives is discussed as starting materials in diverse organic
reactions, including two and more components, between the years 2014 until 2020 …

Abstract Structure units containing all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center are found in
many bioactive natural products. However, enantioselective construction of this type of …
