Chiral transition metal catalysts represent a powerful and economic tool for implementing
stereocenters in organic synthesis, with the metal center providing a strong chemical …

Direct substitution of readily available alcohols is recognized as a key research area in
green chemical synthesis. Starting from simple racemic secondary alcohols, the …

In this review, we summarize the origin and advancements of iridium-catalyzed asymmetric
allylic substitution reactions during the past two decades. Since the first report in 1997, Ir …

Conspectus In organic synthesis, ligand-modified copper (I) hydride (CuH) complexes have
become well-known reagents and catalysts for selective reduction, particularly toward …

Metal-catalyzed reductive coupling has emerged as an alternative to the use of
stoichiometric organometallic reagents in an increasingly diverse range of carbonyl and …

An unprecedented hydroalkylation of racemic allylic alcohols and racemic ketimine esters
enabled by Cu/Ru relay catalysis has been developed via merging the ruthenium‐catalyzed …

Arylation of carbonyls, one of the most common approaches toward alcohols, has received
tremendous attention, as alcohols are important feedstocks and building blocks in organic …

Catalytic enantioselective introduction of a propargyl group constitutes one of the most
important carbon–carbon forming reactions, as it is versatile to be transformed into diverse …
