Known for over a century, reactions that involve intramolecular hydride‐transfer events have
experienced a recent resurgence. Undoubtedly responsible for the increased interest in this …

Carbodiimides are a unique class of heterocumulene compounds that display distinctive
chemical properties. The rich chemistry of carbodiimides has drawn increasing attention …

The ability of alkylamines to spontaneously liberate hydride ions is typically restrained,
except under specific intramolecular reaction settings. Herein, we demonstrate that this …

Ketenimines are an important class of reactive species and useful synthetic intermediates.
During the last two decades several practical and versatile approaches to ketenimines have …

Abstract The cascade [1, n]‐hydrogen transfer/cyclization, recognized one century ago, has
received considerable interest in recent decades and great achievements have been made …

The direct functionalization of C (sp3)–H bonds is one of the most synthetically powerful
research areas in current organic synthesis. Organocatalytic C (sp3)–H bond activation …

The hydride transfer initiated cyclization (“HT-cyclization”) of aryl alkyl ethers, which leads to
direct coupling of sp3 C− H bonds and activated alkenes, is reported. Readily available …

Abstract The cascade [1, n]-hydrogen transfer/cyclization, recognized as the tert amino effect
one century ago, has received considerable interest in recent decades, and great …

An unusual multiple isocyanide insertion reaction with methyleneindolinone using indium
(III) chloride as the catalyst has been disclosed. This strategy allows for the rapid …

Abstract The α-C (sp 3)–H functionalization of ethers via cascade [1, n]-hydride
transfer/cyclization, which features redox-neutral nature, atom-economy, and high efficiency …
