The synthetic application of nickel catalysts in Heck‐coupling reactions is quite prominent
and noticeable of late in organic synthesis. It shows great interest over the other transition …

Alkyl fluorides modulate the conformation, lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and pKa of
compounds containing aliphatic motifs and, therefore, have been valuable for medicinal …

Key similarities and differences of Pd and Ni in catalytic systems are discussed. Overall, Ni
and Pd catalyze a vast number of similar C–C and C–heteroatom bond-forming reactions …

Bidentate P, N ligands, integrating phosphine and nitrogen donors, are highlighted for their
versatile characteristics, offering both electronic and steric tunability. Their hemilabile nature …

We describe here a Ni‐catalyzed intermolecular carbo‐fluoromethylation of alkynes with
aliphatic halides and fluoromethyl halides (BrCF2H and ICH2F) in the presence of zinc …

Despite the importance of monofluoroalkyl groups in pharmaceutically relevant molecules,
catalytic protocols for their incorporation into alkenes remain limited. We describe herein a …

An intermolecular direct α-C–H acylation of alkenes was revealed by the visible-light-
mediated N-heterocyclic carbene and quinuclidine catalysis. This convenient protocol …

An iron (II)-catalyzed radical alkyl Heck-type reaction of alkyl iodides with vinylarenes under
mild conditions has been reported. t-Butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) behaves simultaneously …

A cobaloxime-catalyzed photochemical synthesis of allyl monofluorides from styrenes is
described herein. This method is characterized by mild reaction conditions, low-cost catalyst …

A hypervalent iodine (III)-mediated ring-contractive fluorination reaction of 2-
