This review serves to document advances in the synthesis, versatile bonding, and reactivity
of molecular main group metal hydrides within Groups 1, 2, and 12–16. Particular attention …

The history of silyl cations has all the makings of a drama but with a happy ending. Being
considered reactive intermediates impossible to isolate in the condensed phase for …

This Review gives a comprehensive overview of the most topical weakly coordinating
anions (WCAs) and contains information on WCA design, stability, and applications. As an …

Conspectus The use of frustrated Lewis pairs is an extremely important approach to metal-
free hydrogenations. In contrast to the rapid growth of catalytic reactions, asymmetric …

The chemistry of organoelement compounds is now one of the most rapidly developing
fields of research, regarding both fundamental science and solution of applied problems …

Herein, we report a multistep one-pot reaction of substituted pyridines leading to N-protected
tetrahydropyridines with outstanding enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee). An iridium (I) …

The synthesis of small organic molecules with a difluoromethylated stereocenter is
particularly attractive in drug discovery. Herein, we have developed an efficient method for …

Hydrosilanes are useful precursors for the preparation of many different silicon-containing
molecules, and they are transformed into value-added molecules generally through Si–H …

We carried out a comprehensive study on the generality, scope, limitations, and mechanism
of the palladium-catalyzed hydrophosphorylation of alkynes with P (O)–H compounds (ie, H …

Silicon‐containing compounds are widely used as synthetic building blocks, functional
materials, and bioactive reagents. In particular, silyl radicals are important intermediates for …
