This review covers diastereo-and enantiodivergent catalyzed reactions in acyclic and cyclic
systems using metal complexes or organocatalysts. Among them, nucleophilic addition to …

Molybdenum (VI) dichloride dioxide (MoO 2 Cl 2), and its addition complexes [MoO 2 Cl 2
(L) n; L= neutral ligand], are commercially or easily available and inexpensive transition …

Traditional cross-couplings catalyzed by transition metal catalysts generally rely on the
classic oxidative addition–transmetalation–reductive elimination process, which requires …

The direct dehydrogenation of alkanes is among the most efficient ways to access valuable
alkene products. Although several catalysts have been designed to promote this …

In the presence of triphenylphosphine as a mild reductant, the use of catalytic amounts of Mo
(CO) 6 and an ortho-quinone ligand enables the intermolecular reductive coupling of …

The transition‐metal‐catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes by the decomposition of diazo
compounds is a powerful and straightforward strategy to produce cyclopropanes, but is …

Deoxygenation of epoxides into alkenes is one of the most important strategies in organic
synthesis, biomass conversions, and medicinal chemistry. Although metal-catalyzed direct …

The high-valent molybdenum (VI) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes,(NHC) MoO2 (1) and
(NHC) MoO (NtBu)(2)(NHC= 1, 3-bis (3, 5-di-tert-butyl-2-phenolato)-benzimidazol-2 …

A simple deoxygenation reagent prepared in situ from commercially available Mo (CO) 6
and ortho-quinone has been developed for the synthesis of indoline and indole derivatives …

Combined use of oxorhenium catalysts with triphenyl phosphite as an oxygen acceptor
allowed efficient deoxygenative aromatization of oxabicyclic dienes. The reaction proceeded …
