Understanding the mechanisms of chemical reactions, especially catalysis, has been an
important and active area of computational organic chemistry, and close collaborations …

In the present review we describe the emerging tendency for creating target-oriented
analytical approaches designed to solve important chemical tasks by using a combination of …

Metal‐catalyzed reactions of amides proceeding via metal insertion into the N CO bond
are severely underdeveloped due to resonance stabilization of the amide bond. Herein we …

Highly chemoselective, palladium (0)-catalyzed, direct cross-coupling between boronic
acids and geometrically activated amides is reported. The reaction proceeds via selective …

In order to develop efficient and green catalyst for organic pollutants removal, magnetic
carbon supported Prussian blue nanocomposite Fe 3 O 4@ C/PB was prepared for the first …

A molecular level mechanism of catalysis by an ionic liquid (IL) is proposed as an
“electrophile nucleophile dual activation” through a “relay of cooperative hydrogen bonds …

The first palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of amides with boronic acids
for the synthesis of ketones by sterically-controlled N–C bond activation is reported. The …

Utilization of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for joint mechanistic and structural
studies is a well-known practice. Several opportunities have appeared in recent years …

The catalytic application of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) has been explored to
catalyse the reaction of indole with aldehydes to afford bis (indolyl) methanes. The catalytic …

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is increasingly being used as a tool to
gain mechanistic insights into homogeneous metal-catalyzed reactions. Here we briefly …
