This review covers diastereo-and enantiodivergent catalyzed reactions in acyclic and cyclic
systems using metal complexes or organocatalysts. Among them, nucleophilic addition to …

Vitamin A (all-trans-retinol, 1, Figure 1) is considered the most multifunctional vitamin in the
human body. 1 It plays key roles in many physiological processes such as vision …

Asymmetric catalysis has been revolutionised by the realisation that attractive non-covalent
interactions such as hydrogen bonds and ion pairs can act as powerful controllers of …

In conceptual terms, the first total synthesis of the cytotoxic marine natural product
njaoamine C differs from all known approaches toward related alkaloids of the manzamine …

The creative design and exploration of new bonding motifs and molecular architectures in
main group chemistry have pushed the boundaries of reactivity in this field of research. In …

Although the first allene to be characterized, 1, 2-propadiene itself, was synthesized as early
as 1888 by Gustavson and Demjanov, 1, 2 compounds containing one or several 1, 2-diene …

Transition metal compounds are well known as activators of small molecules, and they serve
as efficient catalysts for a variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous transformations. In …

Reactions of internal alkynes with R3M–H (M= Si, Ge, Sn) follow an unconventional trans-
addition mode in the presence of [Cp* Ru (MeCN) 3] PF6 (1) as the catalyst; however, the …
