In organic chemistry, olefin–olefin metathesis of two unsaturated substrates for the formation
of a new carbon–carbon bond has been widely explored and applied. Exploration of the …

2 H-Chromenes (2 H-1-benzopyran derivatives) display a broad spectrum of biological
activities. The 2 H-chromene substructure is an important structural motif present in a variety …

The carbonyl-alkyne metathesis (CAM) reaction is a versatile, stereoselective, and atom-
economical method to access a diverse range of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds …

The development of a catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis strategy is reported, in the context
of the ring-opening metathesis of cyclopropenes with aldehydes using a simple hydrazine …

An atom-economical direct synthesis of carbazoles having aryl and aryl ketone groups has
been achieved through Pd (II)-catalyzed cascade reactions between 1-(indol-2-yl) but-3-yn …

An efficient synthesis of functionalized phenanthrenes has been developed for the first time
involving an iron (III)-catalyzed intramolecular coupling of 2′-alkynyl-biphenyl-2 …

Alkyne‐carbonyl metathesis is a type of carbon‐carbon forming reaction involving the
construction a carbon‐carbon double bond and a carbonyl group in one transformation …

The catalytic ring-closing carbonyl-olefin metathesis (RCCOM) of O-allyl salicylaldehydes to
form 2 H-chromenes is described. The method utilizes a [2.2. 1]-bicyclic hydrazine catalyst …

A direct organocatalytic carbonyl/olefin oxo‐metathesis has been developed. The reaction is
