Organosilicon compounds act as a nucleophile upon activation by an appropriate base and
behave in a manner similar to main-group organometallic reagents. In the last decades …

Provides a unique summary of important catalytic reactions in the presence of silicon A must-
have for all synthetic chemists, this book summarizes all of the important developments in …

Multicomponent union tactics in which three or more fragments are rapidly connected are
highly prized in the construction of architecturally complex natural products. Anion Relay …

Metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions are amongst the most widely used methods to
directly construct new bonds. In this connection, sustainable and practical protocols …

Catalytic carbon–carbon bond formation based on cross-coupling reactions plays a central
role in the production of natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and organic …

The total synthesis of the architecturally complex Daphniphyllum alkaloid (−)-calyciphylline
N has been achieved. Highlights of the synthesis include a Et2AlCl-promoted, highly …

Transition-metal-catalyzed silicon–carbon bond activation is one of the most important
processes in both organosilicon chemistry and homogeneous catalysis that is still rarely …

A highly enantioselective synthesis of 3-aryl-, vinyl-, and alkynyl-2, 1-benzoxasiloles (up to
99.9% ee and 99% yield) was achieved via the sequential activation of an aldehyde and a …

A Cu‐catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of silicon‐stereogenic benzoxasiloles has been
realized via intramolecular Si− O coupling of [2‐(hydroxymethyl) phenyl] silanes. Cu …

In this account recent developments in the Hiyama cross‐coupling reaction from 2010 up
today are presented. The most important methodology involves formation of biaryl systems …
