(Hetero) aromatic compounds are vastly available and easy to functionalise building blocks
in the chemical industry. Asymmetric arene hydrogenation enables direct access to complex …

We summarize in this review the recent development of chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-
catalyzed asymmetric dearomatization reactions. A wide array of electron-rich arenes …

Hantzsch esters (HEs) are widely recognized as sources of hydride ions (H-) and sacrificial
electron donors in their ground state. Here, we report the application of HE as a mediator in …

An efficient, photoredox-catalyst-free radical alkylation of quinoxalin-2 (1 H)-ones has been
described. This reaction utilizes 4-alkyl-1, 4-dihydropyridines (R-DHPs) as alkyl radical …

Conspectus In nature, the coenzyme NAD (P) H is utilized for the transfer of hydrogen and
electrons in biocatalytic reduction, which involves the process of recycling, coenzyme usage …

Utilization of carbon dioxide as a C1 synthon is highly attractive for the synthesis of valuable
chemicals. However, activation of CO2 is highly challenging, owing to its thermodynamic …

A commitment to developing a convenient, efficient, and safe hydrogenation strategy is one
of the main focuses of industry and academia. Electrochemical hydrogenation brings …

Activation of C− C bonds allows editing of molecular skeletons, but methods for selective
activation of nonpolar C− C bonds in the absence of a chelation effect or a driving force …

Hantzsch esters (1, 4-dihydropyridine dicarboxylates) have become, in this century, very
versatile reagents for enantioselective organic transformations. They can act as hydride …

Chiral bifunctional dual H-bond donor catalysts have become one of the pillars of
organocatalysis. They include squaramide, thiosquaramide, thiourea, urea, and even …
