It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

The recent literature on asymmetric hydroformylation is reviewed from the perspective of the
ligand development. Much progress was made in the area of hybrid bidentate ligands …

Hydroaminocarbonylation of alkenes is one of the most promising yet challenging methods
for the synthesis of amides. Herein, we reported the development of a novel and effective Pd …

Catalyst design has traditionally focused on rigid structural elements to prevent
conformational flexibility. Ishihara's elegant design of conformationally flexible C 2 …

The involvement of planar carbocation intermediates is generally considered undesirable in
asymmetric catalysis due to the difficulty in gaining facial control and their intrinsic stability …

The activation of an ester by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis is an efficient
and important approach for generating an NHC-bound enolate intermediate, an important …

A highly enantioselective formal hydroformylation of vinyl arenes enabled by copper hydride
(CuH) catalysis is reported. Key to the success of the method was the use of the mild Lewis …

In this study, the mechanism and origin of the stereoselectivity of an N-heterocyclic carbene
(NHC)-catalyzed transformation reaction between an enal and a β-silyl enone are …

Abstract Herein, we report a [5+ 2] cycloaddition between readily accessible 1‐indanones
and internal alkynes through Rh‐catalyzed activation of less strained C− C bonds. The …

The fluoranthene skeleton is a structure often found in natural products and fluorescent
materials, and thus developing an operationally simple method for diversity-oriented …
