Sulfones are flexible functional groups that can act as nucleophiles, electrophiles, or even
radicals. Changing the reaction conditions can completely alter the reactivity of a sulfonyl …

The transition metal-catalyzed allylic substitution reaction is a particularly versatile method
for the construction of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. In this regard, the …

A complete guide to selection and use of the best reagents for a wide range of
transformations This book is the updated and expanded Second Edition of Jacqueline …

A guide to making optimal use of one of the most important tools available to today's
synthetic organic chemist Compatible with virtually all functional groups without protection …

Tin in Organic Synthesis is a systematic presentation of the organic chemistry of tin. This
book discusses the significant advances that have been made with regard to the …

Allylsilanes and vinylsilanes usually react with electrophiles to give substitution. These
reactions are conveniently understood as the reactions of alkenes that have been …

A number of ekctrophilic allylic derivatives which do not behave as allylating agents under
usual SN2 conditions, may do so, provided that catalytic amounts of appropriate soluble …

Abstract α‐Quaternary ketones are accessed through novel enantioselective alkylations of
allyl and propargyl electrophiles by unstabilized prochiral enolate nucleophiles in the …

We report a strategy for the employment of highly unstabilized anions in palladium-catalyzed
asymmetric allylic alkylations (AAA). The “hard” 2-methylpyridyl nucleophiles studied are first …

A palladium-catalyzed 1, 4-enyne synthesis was developed based the decarboxylative
coupling of acetylides with allyl electrophiles. Stereochemical studies have implicated …
