We report herein that thermodynamic and kinetic isomerization of alkenes can be
accomplished by the combination of visible light with Co catalysis. Utilizing Xantphos as the …

The catalytic isomerization of C–C double bonds is an indispensable chemical
transformation used to deliver higher-value analogues and has important utility in the …

This review summarises the most recent advances in Ir–NHC catalysis while revisiting all the
classical reactions in which this type of catalyst has proved to be active. The influence of the …

Olefin isomerization is a significant transformation in organic synthesis, which provides a
convenient synthetic route for internal olefins and remote functionalization processes. The …

We report the Pd-catalyzed arylation of very hindered α, α, α-trisubstituted primary amines.
Kinetics-based mechanistic analysis and rational design have led to the development of two …

In this frontier article we overview the emergence and scope of NHC-based CCC and CNC
pincer systems, ie complexes containing mer-tridentate ligands bearing two NHC donor …
