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 H–H, Si–H, and C–H bonds through σ-bond coordination has grown in the past
30 years from a scientific curiosity to an important tool in the functionalization of …

This book provides an introduction to the chemistry of conjugate reactions, a group of
reactions that constitute one of the most important classes of chemical reactions in organic …

The first general catalytic approach to effecting transfer hydrogenation (TH) of unactivated
alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen source is described. A new NCP-type pincer iridium …

Impressive tolerance is displayed in the efficient and chemoselective organocatalytic
transfer hydrogenation of α, β‐unsaturated aldehydes in the presence of a Hantzsch …

A pincer-Pd complex was utilized in the chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of α, β-
unsaturated ketones using n-BuOH as a hydrogen source and solvent. Good to excellent …

The direct α, β-dehydrogenation of aldehydes and ketones represents an efficient alternative
to stepwise methods to prepare enal and enone products. Here, we describe a new Pd …

The 1, 4 hydrosilation of a variety of simple α, β-unsaturated enones as catalyzed by B
(C6F5) 3 (1–2%) is described. For substrates with no steric hindrance near the β-carbon, 1 …

The total synthesis of the architecturally complex Daphniphyllum alkaloid (−)-calyciphylline
N has been achieved. Highlights of the synthesis include a Et2AlCl-promoted, highly …

A catalytic route for enantioselective total synthesis of cell adhesion inhibitor BIRT-377 is
described. The quaternary stereocenter was constructed through l-proline-derived, tetrazole …
