The metal‐catalysed hydrofunctionalisation of alkenes and alkynes provides a convenient
and atom‐economic route to diversely functionalised products with control of regio‐, chemo …

Abstract Metal (Co, Rh, Pt/Sn)‐catalyzed homogeneous hydroformylation reactions produce
aldehydes, acetals, and alcohols, respectively, which are important aroma compounds that …

The palladium‐catalyzed oxidation of alkenes, the Wacker–Tsuji reaction, is undoubtedly a
classic in organic synthesis and provides reliable access to methyl ketones from terminal …

The inevitable emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) due to the burning of a substantial amount
of fossil fuels has led to serious energy and environmental challenges. Metal‐based …

An efficient domino ruthenium‐catalyzed reverse water‐gas‐shift (RWGS)‐hydroformylation‐
reduction reaction of olefins to alcohols is reported. Key to success is the use of specific …

Ethylene, the simplest alkene, is the most abundantly synthesized organic molecule by
volume. It is readily incorporated into transition‐metal‐catalyzed carbon–carbon bond …

Since its original discovery over a century ago, the water‐gas shift reaction (WGSR) has
played a crucial role in industrial chemistry, providing a source of H2 to feed fundamental …

A photo‐induced substitutive introduction of an aldoxime functional group to carbon chains
was achieved using photo‐excited 4‐benzoylpyridine as a C (sp3)− H bond cleaving agent …

Carbonylation reactions allow the efficient synthesis of all kinds of carbonyl‐containing
compounds. Here, we report a straightforward synthesis of various imides from olefins and …

Phosphites are industrially important ligands for the Rh‐catalysed hydroformylation of
olefins because they produce more active catalysts than phosphines, which is mainly due to …
