Well over a decade ago, two reviews were contributed to the Organic Reactions series
covering substitution and conjugate addition reactions in organocopper chemistry. Their …

Different enynols and propargyl derivatives were sumitted to radical hydrostannylation
(Bu3SnH/AIBN), Pd (0)-catalyzed hydrostannylation [Bu3SnH/Pd (0)], and stannylcupration …

The first total synthesis of the marine toxin (−)-gymnodimine (1) has been accomplished in a
convergent manner. A highly diastereo-and enantioselective exo-Diels–Alder reaction …

Cooperative Sn–H bond activation of hydrostannanes (Bu3SnH) by tunable heterobimetallic
(NHC) Cu–[MCO] catalysts ([MCO]= FeCp (CO) 2 or Mn (CO) 5) enables the catalytic …

Organogermane and organostannane compounds are valuable reagents in cross coupling
reactions, and copper (I) germanide and stannanide complexes can provide convenient …

The potent, naturally occurring immunomodulators (−)-rapamycin (1) and (−)-27-
demethoxyrapamycin (2) have been synthesized via a unified and highly convergent …

This chapter derives its inspiration from the challenges presented to total synthesis chemists,
by a particular group of macrocyclic pipecolic acid natural products. Although there is …

A highly efficient catalytic silylcupration of activated alkynes is reported. Upon reaction with
silylboronates and methanol in THF at room temperature in the presence of copper (I) …

Alkenylcuprates or allenolates–that is the question! The structures of the adducts formed by
addition of cuprates to ynones and ynoates has been a matter of controversy for several …

An asymmetric synthesis of a C7− C20 synthon of amphidinolide B is described. The
synthesis entails the construction of C7− C13 and C14− C20 fragments and makes …
