BACKGROUND The development of useful new methods for the construction of carbon-
carbon bonds has had an impact on the many scientific disciplines (including materials …

Advances in the chemical synthesis of C-pyranosides/furanosides are summarized, covering
the literature from 2000 to 2016. The majority of the methods take advantage of the …

Palladium catalysed cross-couplings reactions have been a dominant method in synthetic
chemistry for decades. Despite this, the role of the solvent is often taken for granted and …

Conspectus Efficient construction of ubiquitous carbon–carbon bonds between two
electrophiles has garnered interest in recent decades, particularly if it is mediated by …

Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of organic electrophiles and
organometallic reagents have emerged as a tremendously powerful synthetic tool, and the …

The aryl C-glycoside structure is, among the plenty of biologically active natural products,
one of the distinct motifs embedded. Because of the potential bioactivity as well as the …

C-Glycosides are important structures that are common to natural products and
pharmaceutical agents. Established methods for their synthesis involve the reaction of an …

This work highlights Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of alkyl acids with alkyl halides,
particularly sterically hindered unactivated tertiary alkyl bromides for the production of all …

A Negishi cross-coupling of alkylpyridinium salts and alkylzinc halides has been developed.
This is the first example of alkyl–alkyl bond formation via cross-coupling of an alkyl amine …

The formation of a new C–C bond at sp3-hybridized centers is highly desirable, as it opens
up a unique, unexplored chemical space. The revolutionary discoveries in this field meet the …
