Alkenes and their derivatives are featured widely in a variety of natural products,
pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials. Significant efforts have been made toward the …

Conventional methods for carrying out carbon–hydrogen functionalization and carbon–
nitrogen bond formation are typically conducted at elevated temperatures, and rely on …

Molecular syntheses largely rely on time‐and labour‐intensive prefunctionalization
strategies. In contrast, C− H activation represents an increasingly powerful approach that …

Asymmetric transition-metal catalysis has had a far-reaching impact on chemical synthesis.
However, non-precious metal-catalysed strategies that provide direct entry to compounds …

Enantioselective hydroarylation of unactivated terminal akenes constitutes a prominent
challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we reported a Cp* Co (III)-catalyzed asymmetric …

Selectivity control in hydroarylation‐based C− H alkylation has been dominated by steric
interactions. A conceptually distinct strategy that exploits the programmed switch in the C− H …

The enantioselective cobalt (III)‐catalyzed C− H alkylation was achieved through the design
of a novel chiral acid. The cobalt (III)‐catalyzed enantioselective C− H activation was …

Transition metal-catalyzed hydrocarbonations of unsaturated substrates have emerged as
powerful synthetic tools for increasing molecular complexity in an atom-economical manner …

One of the most challenging tasks in organic synthesis is to control selectivities, especially
switching the well-known selectivity to obtain new isomers that were previously inaccessible …

We have developed a Ni-catalyzed enantioselective hydroarylation of styrenes with
arylboronic acids using MeOH as the hydrogen source, providing an efficient method to …
