The formation of C–aryl bonds has been the focus of intensive research over the last
decades for the construction of complex molecules from simple, readily available feedstocks …

In this Review, we summarize the current state of the art in late‐transition‐metal‐catalyzed
reactions of acyl fluorides, covering both their synthesis and further transformations. In …

Organosilicon compounds act as a nucleophile upon activation by an appropriate base and
behave in a manner similar to main-group organometallic reagents. In the last decades …

Provides a unique summary of important catalytic reactions in the presence of silicon A must-
have for all synthetic chemists, this book summarizes all of the important developments in …

While ketones are among the most versatile functional groups, their synthesis remains
reliant upon reactive and low‐abundance starting materials. In contrast, amide formation is …

This Article describes the development of a base-free, nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative
coupling of carboxylic acid fluorides with diboron reagents to selectively afford aryl boronate …

Several recent reports outlined the singular reactivity of acid fluorides as excellent
electrophiles in transition‐metal catalysis. These species undergo oxidative addition of the …

The expansion of chemical space associated with ubiquitous motifs is key to unleash new
properties and functions. In this context, alkynamides, prevalent in numerous drugs and …

Ligand-controlled non-decarbonylative and decarbonylative conversions of acyl fluorides
were developed using a Pd (OAc) 2/Et3SiH combination. When tricyclohexylphosphine …

A fast and simple method for deoxyfluorination of carboxylic acids is presented. The protocol
employs commodity chemicals (PPh3, NBS, fluoride), affording products in excellent yields …
