Conspectus α-Diazocarbonyl compounds serve as nucleophiles, dipoles, carbene
precursors, and rare electrophiles, enabling a vast array of organic transformations under …

Methylene-and alkylidenecyclopropanes (MCPs and ACPs, 1, Figure 1) and-cyclobutanes
(MCBs and ACBs, 2, Figure 1) are highly strained molecules, but at the same time most of …

From the historical perspective, all widely accepted privileged chiral ligands tune the
catalytic activity of the metal complexes that they form and impart stereoselectivity to …

Catalytic asymmetric cycloadditions of reactive ketene intermediates provide new
opportunities for the production of chiral heterocyclic molecules. Though known for over 100 …

Mechanically interlocked molecules based on oligoparaphenylene‐derived nanohoops,
particularly those without heteroatoms, are synthetically challenging and topologically …

The homologation of ketones with diazo compounds is a useful strategy to synthesize one-
carbon chain-extended acyclic ketones or ring-expanded cyclic ketones. However, the …

An asymmetric inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels–Alder reaction between o-quinone
methides and azlactones to generate potentially pharmacological active dihydrocoumarins …

This review is devoted to the scientific achievements of the departments of organic chemistry
in higher schools of Russia within the past decade.

Here we describe several useful strategies to a variety of unusual α-amino acid derivatives
and peptides based on “building block” approach. These building blocks are suitable for …

This is the first review describing all the quinoxaline–benzimidazole rearrangements as a
whole and the new quinoxalinone–benzimidazol (on) e rearrangements in particular when …
