Traditional organic synthesis relies heavily on organic solvents for a multitude of tasks,
including dissolving the components and facilitating chemical reactions, because many …

Directing group assisted C− H bond functionalization using transition‐metal‐catalysis has
emerged as a reliable synthetic tool for the construction of regioselective carbon …

This work reports palladium-catalyzed phenanthridinone synthesis using the coupling of
aniline and amide by formation of C–C and C–N bonds in a one-pot fashion via dual C–H …

A novel and convenient procedure for the synthesis of 3-acylindoles from simple indoles and
aryl iodides has been established. Through ruthenium-catalyzed carbonylative C–H …

Functionalization of CH bonds has emerged as a powerful strategy for converting inert,
nonfunctional CH bonds into their reactive counterparts. A wide range of CH bond …

A Ru‐catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of arenes in an aqueous medium is presented
herein. With the aid of methyl phenyl sulfoximine or an amide directing group, this atom …

A novel catalytic domino reductive hydroformylation–esterification of olefins is reported. The
optimal protocol makes use of an inexpensive Ru carbonyl catalyst and uses acetic acid as …

State-of-the-art catalyst systems for hydroxy-and alkoxycarbonylations of olefins make use of
palladium complexes. In this work, we report a complementary ruthenium-catalysed …

The use of MW allows the efficient palladium (II)-catalysed C-3 acylation of thiophenes with
aldehydes via C (sp2)–H activation for the synthesis of (cyclo) alkyl/aryl thienyl ketones (43 …

Carbon monoxide is a cheap and reactive gas, and its reactions are atom-economic and can
effectively extend the carbon chain. Therefore, CO is an essential carbon source, in …
