Transition-metal-catalyzed decarbonylation via carbon–carbon bond cleavage is an
essential synthetic methodology. Given the ubiquity of carbonyl compounds, the selective …

Heterocyclic alkenes represent an important class of reactive feedstock and valuable
synthons for the synthesis of biologically important heterocyclic scaffolds. Although …

Benzofuran and naphthofuran derivatives are synthesized from readily available phenols
and naphthols. Regioselective ring openings of 2 H-azirine followed by in situ aromatization …

C–H activation has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional C–C bond forming
reactions such as the Suzuki–Miyaura, Stille, Negishi and others. However, C–H activation …

A one-pot protocol for the synthesis of 2, 3-diarylbenzo [b] furan derivatives through an N-
