The Mitsunobu reaction was first described almost fifty years ago and has enjoyed immense
popularity since its inception. The purpose of this review is to focus on the more recent …

Thioesters are important class of organosulfur compounds that play a fundamental role in
the construction of pharmaceutical, biological, industrial and natural products. In this respect …

Phenols and carboxylic acids are efficiently arylated with diaryliodonium salts. The reaction
conditions are mild, metal free, and avoid the use of halogenated solvents, additives, and …

An efficient arylation of carboxylic acids with diaryliodonium salts has been developed,
giving aryl esters in high yields within short reaction times for both aromatic and aliphatic …

Inspired by the abundance and versatility of thioester in nature, much attention has been
paid to thioester functionalized materials, allowing applications that range from responsive …

In the area of energetic materials, co‐crystallization is emerging as a new technology for
modifying or enhancing the properties of existing energetic substances. Ethylenedinitramine …

Herein, a practical and effective synthesis of thioesters from readily available carboxylic
acids and odorless disulfides was developed under photocatalytic conditions. This approach …

A method is described for the isomerization of acyclic allylic alcohols into β‐functionalized
ketones via 1, 3‐alkyl transposition. This reaction proceeds via light‐driven proton‐coupled …

The hydrosilylation/reduction of tertiary and secondary phosphine oxides to phosphines is
catalyzed by B (C6F5) 3 or electrophilic fluorophosphonium cations (EPCs). B (C6F5) 3 is an …

A series of photoresponsive halogen-bonded liquid crystals (LCs) were successfully
constructed using molecular halogen and azopyridine compounds, which show interesting …
