Organosulfur compounds have long played a vital role in organic chemistry and in the
development of novel chemical structures and architectures. Prominent among these …

In recent decades, transient and highly reactive ortho-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs), ortho-
quinone methides (o-QMs) and aza-ortho-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) have attracted …

Great achievements in the asymmetric cyclization reactions of sulfur ylides have been
reached by using chiral sulfides; however, this method usually suffers from the high loading …

A combination of NHC organocatalysis and transition-metal catalysis gives rise to
fundamentally new cooperative reactivity and enables the regio-and enantioselective …

Photocatalyzed organic synthesis transformation is a remarkable green synthetic strategy
because of the advantages of operational simplicity, high chemoselectivities, cheap, and …

Metal carbenes can undergo a myriad of synthetic transformations. Sulfur ylides are
potential safe precursors of metal carbenes. Herein, we report cascade reactions that …

The first copper-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative [4+ 1] cycloaddition of propargylic
carbamates and sulfur ylides was successfully developed. This strategy led to a series of …

Dipolar cycloaddition is one of the most valuable methods for synthesizing various carbo-
and heterocycles because multiple carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds form in a …

A comprehensive investigation of the mechanism of the highly enantioselective Pd (PPh3)
4/NHC-catalyzed annulation of vinyl benzoxazinanones and enals has been conducted. A …

Traditionally employed in the synthesis of small ring systems and rearrangement chemistry,
sulfur-based ylides occupy a unique position in the toolbox of the synthetic organic chemist …
