At the advent of cross-coupling chemistry, carbon electrophiles based on halides or
pseudohalides were the only suitable electrophilic coupling partners. Almost two decades …

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 …

While the formation and breaking of transition metal (TM)–carbon bonds plays a pivotal role
in the catalysis of organic compounds, the reactivity of inorganometallic species, that is …

The first visible light‐induced Pd‐catalyzed Heck reaction of α‐heteroatom substituted alkyl
iodides and‐bromides with vinyl arenes/heteroarenes has been developed. This …

The aryl-substituted bis (imino) pyridine cobalt methyl complex,(MesPDI) CoCH3 (MesPDI=
2, 6-(2, 4, 6-Me3C6H2-N CMe) 2C5H3N), promotes the catalytic dehydrogenative …

A copper-catalyzed regiodivergent hydrosilylation of a wide range of simple allenes is
reported. Linear and branched allylsilanes were formed by judicious choice of solvents …

The formation of silicon–carbon bonds through the selective coupling of two strong
electrophilic bonds has been less developed. We report here silylation reactions that …

A synergistic catalytic method combining photoredox catalysis, hydrogen‐atom transfer, and
proton‐reduction catalysis for the dehydrogenative silylation of alkenes was developed. With …

A photoinduced and palladium-catalyzed remote desaturation of O-acyl hydroxamides to
unsaturated amides under mild conditions has been achieved. The formation of the alkyl Pd …

A stereospecific decarboxylative silylation of acrylic and propiolic acids with silanes was
developed. This reaction represents the first example of decarboxylative C Si bond …
