The efficient Pd-catalyzed Heck reaction of diverse tertiary alkyl halides with alkenes has
been developed. Unactivated tertiary alkyl halides efficiently react at room temperature …

In recent years, nucleophilic substitution of alcohols leading to the formation of the CC and C-
heteroatom bonds has become an attractive process used in the synthesis of organic …

Starch is available in large quantities and at cheap price, especially that from stale rice, root
and tuber crops, etc., which makes it desirable for conversion to value-added products. A …

2, 5-Disubstituted furans are frequently found in pharmaceuticals and bioactive natural
products. Nucleophilic substitution reactions on the carbon atom adjacent to the furan ring …

Herein, a robust catalytic system was developed for the green synthesis of 5‐methylfurfural
(5‐MF) by iodide‐mediated transfer hydrogenation. Around 50% of 5‐MF was yielded from d …

The proprotein convertase furin is a potential target for drug design, especially for the
inhibition of furin‐dependent virus replication. All effective synthetic furin inhibitors identified …

The preoccupation for discovering new therapeutic agents is constant and, in this context,
the study of bromine-containing molecules is a research field of great interest. These …

The first asymmetric total synthesis of (−)‐stemonamine is described. The key reactions
included intramolecular acylation to construct the seven‐membered ring and a tandem [2+ …

This letter presents the side-chain iodination of electron-deficient benzylic hydrocarbons at rt
using N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as radical initiator and 1, 3-diiodo-5, 5 …

The use of copper catalysis with visible light photoredox catalysis in a cooperative fashion
has recently emerged as a versatile means of developing new C–C bond forming reactions …
