With their mechanistic novelty and various modalities of reactivity, transition metal
unsaturated carbene (alkenylidene) complexes have emerged as versatile intermediates for …

This chapter describes recent advances in metal-catalyzed C–P bond formation, which may
be classified into two types of reactions. In hydrophosphination and related processes, P–H …

The scope and limitations of the copper-catalyzed propargylic amination of various
propargylic esters with amines are presented, where optically active diphosphines such as …

Recent advances in the transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective propargylic substitution
reactions of propargylic alcohol derivatives with nucleophiles are reviewed in this article …

Although the free allenylidene species: CdCdCH2 was originally identified in 1961 (trapped
in cold matrixes), 1 it is 1976 when the isolation of the first allenylidene complexes [M …

In this short review, we briefly summarize our studies on metal-catalyzed additions of H–P
(O) bonds to carbon–carbon unsaturated compounds (alkynes, alkenes, allenes, dienes and …

The development of transition metal‐catalyzed enantioselective propargylic substitution
reactions has gained much progress in recent years, however, no successful example with …

We investigate a group B• that includes Artin's braid group B∞ and Thompson's group F.
The elements of B• are represented by braids diagrams in which the distances between the …

Alkenes and alkynes are among the most important building blocks in organic synthesis and
serve as synthons for a vast array of chemical transformations. Some of the more versatile …

In recent decades, reactions of inexpensive and abundantly available alcohols (C− OH) with
nucleophilic P (O)− H compounds, leading to the construction of C− P bonds, have emerged …
