A copper‐catalyzed asymmetric aryl C− P cross‐coupling/cyclization reaction was
successfully developed via dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) under mild …

Ketone enolization by sodium hexamethyldisilazide (NaHMDS) shows a marked solvent and
substrate dependence. Enolization of 2-methyl-3-pentanone reveals E–Z selectivities in …

Sodium diisopropylamide (NaDA) in N, N-dimethylethylamine (DMEA) and DMEA–
hydrocarbon mixtures with added N, N, N′, N ″, N ″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine …

The 60-year history of sodium diisopropylamide (NaDA) is described herein. We review
various preparations, solvent-dependent stabilities, and solution structures. Synthetic …

The intra-and intermolecular synthesis of selenium-substituted acyclic and heterocyclic
acrylonitrile derivatives is presented. The 1, 2-difunctionalization of several internal alkynes …

We herein describe a Rh (I)-catalyzed bisarylation reaction of monofluorodienes using
arylboronic acids. Two aryl groups are installed in the trisubstituted (E)-alkene products in …

A stereoselective transformation of α, β-epoxyketones into alkenylphosphates having a
hydroxymethyl group on the β-carbon was established by utilizing the [1, 2]-phospha-Brook …

The mechanism and origin of ligand effects on stereoinversion of Pd-catalyzed synthesis of
tetrasubstituted olefins were investigated using DFT calculations and the approach of …

A highly efficient and practical Pd (II)/Cu (OAc) 2-catalyst system of Saegusa oxidation,
which converts enol ethers to the corresponding enals with a number of diverse substrates …

A systematic theoretical study of rhodium-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions using hard
benzylzinc nucleophiles was performed. The mechanisms were investigated in detail …
