C–S bond activation, cleavage and transformations by means of transition metal compounds
have recently become more and more important in the petroleum industry and synthetic …

Benzene and its derivatives are the most abundant substructures of several interesting
classes of compound, such as bioactive molecules. Owing to their importance, the …

The insertion of an aryne into a C S bond can suppress the addition of an S nucleophile to
the aryne in the presence of palladium. Catalyzed by Pd (OAc) 2, a wide range of α …

Benzannulation reactions involve construction of a benzene ring from acyclic precursors.
This class of reactions offer a versatile and often superior alternative to aromatic substitution …

Functionalized ketene dithioacetals are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis. The
important multiple roles of the dialkylthio group make these substrates particularly useful for …

Ketene dithioacetals were widely used in organic reactions. Herein, recent advances were
summarized as five categories according to their triggered mechanisms:(1) nucleophilic …

An unexpected [4+ 1+ 1] annulation between α-bromo carbonyls and 1-azadienes, derived
from 2-methylenebenzofuran-3 (2 H)-ones or 2-methylenebenzo [b] thiophene-3 (2 H)-ones …

An efficient palladium (0)-catalyzed, Cu (I)-mediated synthetic route to trisubstituted olefins
and conjugate dienes has been developed via oxo directing Liebeskind–Srogl cross …

The oxidant-controlled divergent reactivity of 3-aminoindazoles is presented herein. Diverse
functionalized pyrimido [1, 2-b]-indazole derivatives were obtained with good yields via a …

A metal‐free vinylic carbon‐hydrogen bond thiolation has been developed. Under the
catalysis of iodine (10 mol%), the cyclization of α‐alkenoyl ketene dithioacetals afforded a …
