Podophyllotoxin, along with its various derivatives and congeners are widely recognized as
broad-spectrum pharmacologically active compounds. Etoposide, for instance, is the …

An efficient RhII‐catalyzed synthesis of functionalized α‐vinyl aldehydes with high E/Z
stereoselectivity was developed. The reaction mediates the cyclopropanation of …

Herein, we report a mild, operationally simple, multicatalytic method for the synthesis of β, γ-
unsaturated ketones via allylic acylation of alkenes. Specifically, the method combines N …

We report non‐decarbonylative Mizoroki–Heck reactions of amide derivatives. The
transformation relies on the use of nickel catalysis and proceeds using sterically hindered tri …

Here, we report our detailed efforts toward the synthesis of phainanoids, a novel class of
dammarane-type triterpenoids with potent immunosuppressive activities and unique …

Abstract Direct C (sp 3)–C (sp 2) bond formation under transition-metal-free conditions offers
an atom-economical, inexpensive and environmentally benign alternative to traditional …

β, γ-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds serve as versatile building blocks in organic
synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Herein we reported the synthesis of β, γ-unsaturated …

A strategy for the synthesis of alkenyl ketones via the α-alkylation of ketones with alkenyl
ketones has proposed and accomplished. In the presence of a metal–ligand bifunctional …

A procedure for Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of ketone enolates with alkenyl halides has
been developed. Intermolecular coupling of aromatic and aliphatic ketone lithium enolates …

A synthetic procedure, catalysed by Ir (ppy) 3 under visible‐light irradiation, for the
chemodivergent synthesis of 2, 3‐dihydrofurans (3) or β, γ‐unsaturated ketones (7) starting …
