Abstract The Friedel-Crafts alkylation (F-CA) reaction is a distinct sort of Csingle bondC
bond formations. It is often used for the formation of Csingle bondC bonds to aromatic rings …

General strategies for the chemical synthesis of organic compounds, especially of
architecturally complex natural products, are not easily identified. Here we present a method …

Useful bioactive polycyclic natural products are important targets in academic research,
wherein their mechanisms of action and total syntheses are commonly investigated. In …

The secondary metabolites that comprise the diterpenoid alkaloids are categorized into C18,
C19, and C20 families depending on the number of contiguous carbon atoms that constitute …

Highly enantioselective access to tetrahydroxanthone compounds was achieved through
copper-bis (oxazoline)-catalyzed [4+ 2] cycloaddition of chrom-4-one dienophiles and …

The catalytic and asymmetric cycloaddition between 3-[1-(silyloxy) vinyl] indoles and
electron-deficient olefins gave substituted hydrocarbazoles in up to 99% yield and 94% ee …

Abstract Highly enantioselective catalytic asymmetric [2+ 2] cycloadditions of cyclic α‐
alkylidene β‐oxo imides with ynamides are described. The high reactivity of the cyclic α …

The first diastereo‐and enantioselective inverse electron demand hetero‐Diels–Alder
reaction of β, γ‐unsaturated α‐ketoesters with allylsilanes is described. Chiral copper (II) …

A catalytic asymmetric alkylation of fully substituted enolates with racemic, non-activated
secondary alkyl halides is described. The chiral 1, 2, 3-triazolium ion enables excellent …

The asymmetric Mukaiyama–Michael reaction of cyclic α-alkylidene β-oxo phosphates and
phosphine oxides that proceeds in a highly enantioselective manner is described. It is …
