This Review compiles the evolution, mechanistic understanding, and more recent advances
in enantioselective Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution and decarboxylative and oxidative allylic …

The chiral oxazoline motif is present in many ligands that have been extensively applied in a
series of important metal-catalyzed enantioselective reactions. This Review aims to provide …

The success of phosphine-oxazoline ligands (PHOX) inspired the progress in P-oxazoline
ligand families by modifying either the ligand backbone, the electronic and/or steric …

Conspectus Cyclometalated π-allyliridium-C, O-benzoate complexes discovered in the
Krische laboratory display unique amphiphilic properties, catalyzing both nucleophilic …

Nitroalkanes and nitroalkenes have been always considered as convenient and readily
available intermediates in organic synthesis, including total synthesis of natural products. 1 …

A direct catalytic method is described for the α, β-desaturation of N-protected lactams to their
conjugated unsaturated counterparts under mildly acidic conditions. The reaction is …

Chiral ferrocene derivatives belong to privileged ligand classes for asymmetric transition
metal catalysed reactions. Hetero-bidentate phosphane ligands are hybrid ligands, which …

This review outlines the most recent papers describing the stereoselective synthesis of γ-
amino acids. In this update, the γ-amino acids have been classified according to the type of …

A visible-light-promoted decarboxylative alkylation of Baylis–Hillman acetates with N-
(acyloxy) phthalimides to access trisubstituted alkyl acrylates under metal-free and mild …

The first systematic study of simple nitronate nucleophiles in iridium-catalyzed allylic
alkylation is described. Using a tol-BINAP-modified π-allyliridium C, O-benzoate catalyst, α …
