The hallmark of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis is the initial nucleophilic addition of a
phosphine to an electrophilic starting material, producing a reactive zwitterionic …

Abstract The legacy of Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946) pervades the lexicon of chemical
bonding and reactivity. The power of his concept of donor–acceptor bonding is evident in the …

Nucleophilic phosphine catalysis has proven to be a powerful tool in organic synthesis,
which can provide easy access to cyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic carbocycles and heterocycles …

Carbon–carbon bond formation is of fundamental importance in organic synthesis, with
much research focused on control of reaction efficiency, stereoselectivity, and …

The broad potential synthetic usefulness of phosphine-promoted reactions has stimulated
many recent investigations on enantioselective variants of known reactions of this family, as …

Abstract Das Erbe von Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946) ist im Wörterbuch der
chemischen Bindung und Reaktivität allgegenwärtig. Die Bedeutung seines Konzepts der …

Intramolecular Morita–Baylis–Hillman and Rauhut–Currier reactions are important tools
which have constantly grown over several years. This review summarizes and highlights …

Abstract The Rauhut–Currier reaction has proved itself as a promising strategy for synthesis
of multifunctionalized molecules, although still being in its infancy with regard to limitations …

Abstract Planar chiral 2‐phospha [3] ferrocenophanes have been prepared via a
stereoselective three‐step synthesis. The key step is the lithiation of the 1, 1′‐disubstituted …

Abstract The 1, 4‐diazabicyclic [2.2. 2] octane (DABCO)‐catalyzed intermolecular Rauhut–
Currier reaction of maleimides with electron‐deficient allenes has been investigated …
