The pioneering nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of C–O electrophiles was unlocked by
Wenkert in the 1970s; however, the transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric activation of …

Phenol derivatives have attracted significant attention as a renewable aromatic feedstock for
the production of organic compounds that are required by society. However, the inertness of …

This manuscript describes our studies of the class of natural products known as the
rubellins, culminating in the total synthesis of (+)-rubellin C. These anthraquinone-based …

A useful protocol for arylation of the olefin double bond of chalcones to afford tri-and tetra-
substituted chalcone derivatives is reported. The protocol begins with the Heck reaction …
