This article reviews synthetic transformations involving cleavage of a carbon–carbon bond of
a four-membered ring, with a particular focus on the examples reported during the period …

C− C bond activation has emerged as an increasingly useful approach for constructing
complex molecular scaffolds through unusual bond-disconnection strategies. As a common …

The study of new C–H silylation reagents and reactions remains an important topic. We
reported that under Rh catalysis, silacyclobutanes (SCBs) for the first time were able to react …

In recent years, transition metal-catalyzed strong C–C bond activation has significantly
attracted the attention of synthetic chemists. This protocol enables simultaneous and direct …

Construction of eight-membered silacycles via Pd-catalyzed (4+ 4) annulation of
silacyclobutanes and 2-iodobiphenyl derivatives is described. This strategy involves direct C …

Photoredox-mediated iridium/nickel dual catalysis has successfully triggered a series of
traditionally challenging carbon–heteroatom cross-coupling reactions. However, detailed …

A novel strategy for the synthesis of 2-arylated oxazole derivatives via palladium/copper-
catalyzed decarbonylative heteroarylation of amides via C–N bond activation by ground …

Photoredox catalysis can be induced to activate organic substrates or to modulate the
oxidation state of transition-metal catalysts via unique single-electron transfer processes, so …

Palladium (Pd)‐catalyzed intermolecular oxidative annulation represents as an attractive
approach to regioselective synthesis of 2/3‐arylindoles, but the unexpected regioselectivity …

Due to the widespread application of various organosilicon compounds in material science,
electronic devices and pharmaceutical research, it is of great significance to develop green …
