This review highlights the recent applications of titanocene (III) complexes in the field of
natural product synthesis from the seminal precedents to the development of modern …

This tutorial review highlights the development of radical-based bioinspired synthesis of
terpenes from the initial proposal to the development of modern catalytic methods for …

The first organocatalytic enantioselective radical polycyclization has been accomplished
using singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) catalysis. The presented strategy relies on a …

Transition-metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions have emerged as powerful
protocols to construct C–C bonds. However, the development of enantioselective C (sp3)–C …

Investigations detailed herein, including density functional theory (DFT) calculations,
demonstrate that the formation of either alkoxy− or hydroxy− Ti (III) complexes considerably …

The genome of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana encodes 13 oxidosqualene cyclases, 9
of which have been characterized by heterologous expression in yeast. Here we describe …

A room-temperature Ni-catalyzed reductive approach to homocoupling of unactivated
primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl bromides is described. The catalytic system can be …

Covering: 2009 to 2021 Biosynthetically, most of the syntheses of triterpenes follow the
cascade cyclization and rearrangement of the acyclic precursors viz., squalene (S) and 2, 3 …

Low‐valent titanocene catalysts are a versatile tool for organic synthesis. They promote inter‐
and intramolecular reactions ranging from homolytic bond cleavages to reductive umpolung …

The vast range of reactions mediated by titanocene monochloride (Cp2TiCl, the Nugent
reagent) in organic synthetic chemistry is reviewed. The power of the Nugent reagent in …
