Lignin, as a precious resource given to mankind by nature with abundant functional aromatic
structures, has drawn much attention in the recent decade from academia to industry …

Late-stage functionalization (LSF) introduces functional group or structural modification at
the final stage of the synthesis of natural products, drugs, and complex compounds. It is …

Heteroatom-participated lignin depolymerization for heterocyclic aromatic compounds
production is of great importance to expanding the product portfolio and meeting value …

One-pot synthesis of heterocyclic aromatics with good optical properties from phenolic β-O-4
lignin segments is of high importance to meet high value added biorefinery demands …

Lignin is an aromatic polymer, which is the biggest and most sustainable reservoir for
aromatics. The selective conversion of lignin polymers into aryl monomers is a promising …

The selective upcycling of polyolefins to create products of increased value has emerged as
an innovative approach to carbon resource stewardship, drawing significant scientific and …

Transition-metal-catalyzed C–N bond-forming reactions have emerged as fundamental and
powerful tools to construct arylamines, a common structure found in drug agents, natural …

Synthetic chemistry is built around the formation of carbon–carbon bonds. However, the
development of methods for selective carbon–carbon bond cleavage is a largely unmet …

Photoredox catalysis has become an indispensable solution for the synthesis of small
organic molecules. However, the precise construction of single-atomic active sites not only …

Great efforts have been directed toward alkene π bond amination. In contrast, analogous
functionalization of the adjacent C (sp3)–C (sp2) σ bonds is much rarer. Here we report how …
