Metal-catalyzed cross-electrophile couplings have become a valuable tool for carbon–
carbon bond formation. This minireview provides a comprehensive overview of the recent …

Cross-electrophile coupling (XEC), defined by us as the cross-coupling of two different σ-
electrophiles that is driven by catalyst reduction, has seen rapid progression in recent years …

Nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reactions have emerged as powerful methods to
join two electrophiles. These reactions have proven particularly useful for the coupling of sec …

Cross-coupling reactions, which were discovered almost 50 years ago, are widely used in
both industry and academia. Even though cross-coupling reactions now represent mature …

A new method for the decarboxylative coupling of alkyl N-hydroxyphthalimide esters (NHP
esters) with aryl iodides is presented. In contrast to previous studies that form alkyl radicals …

Reductive cross‐electrophile coupling reactions have recently been developed to a versatile
and sustainable synthetic tool for selective C C bond formation. The employment of cheap …

The formation of C–C bonds directly by catalytic reductive cross-coupling of two different
electrophiles represents one of the practical synthetic protocols that differs from the …

A critical overview of the catalytic joining of two different electrophiles, cross-electrophile
coupling (XEC), is presented with an emphasis on the central challenge of cross-selectivity …

Carbon–heteroatom bonds, most often amide and ester bonds, are the standard method to
link together two complex fragments because carboxylic acids, amines, and alcohols are …

A method for direct cross coupling between unactivated C (sp3)–H bonds and
chloroformates has been accomplished via nickel and photoredox catalysis. A diverse range …
