This review article summarizes the applications of bismuth (III) compounds in organic
synthesis since 2002. Although there are an increasing number of reports on applications of …

Bismuth (III) compounds (BiX3, X= Cl, Br, NO3 and OTf etc.) are moisture-and air-tolerant
Lewis acids, which have been widely applied as green catalyst in diverse organic synthesis …

In recent decades, a large number of reports related to synthesis of N, O and S containing
heterocycles have appeared owing to a wide variety of their biological activity. We need a …

The use of bismuth (III) salts in organic synthesis has attracted an increasing interest over
the last years. Systems comprising of bismuth (III) salts are generally catalytic and involve a …

Last decade has seen a tremendous applications of bismuth (III) trifluoromethanesulfonate
[Bi (OTf) 3] as an efficient, cheap, environmentally benign, Lewis acidic catalyst for the …

In the presence of BiCl3, the hydroarylation of styrenes with electron‐rich arenes afforded
Markovnikov adducts selectively in good to high yields. Under arene‐free conditions, the …

A practical and sustainable chemical process for the synthesis of highly substituted aldol↔
lactol products was achieved for the first time through the asymmetric Barbas–List aldol …

Polyhaloalkyl-substituted chromones, γ-pyrones, and β-furanones react with
salicylaldehydes in the presence of piperidine to give a wide variety of fused 2 H-chromenes …

We report a practical and efficient method for the synthesis of bioactive flavanoids relying on
the strategic use of o-quinine methide (o-QM) intermediates. This involves Brønsted acid …

Lewis acid catalyzed cycloaddition of methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) with o-
quinonemethide analogues, derived from the corresponding salicylaldehydes and CH (OEt) …
