In the field of C–H bond functionalization chemistry, directed C–H bond activation strategies
are highly appreciated due to the high efficiency and selectivity of such reactions towards a …

This review covers the recent developments (since 2015) of enantioselective
desymmetrization reactions using metal-catalyzed, organocatalyzed and enzymatic …

The Wacker and Wacker-type reactions are some of the most fundamental and powerful
transformations in organic chemistry for their ability to efficiently produce valuable …

We report the development of palladium (0)‐catalyzed syn‐selective 1, 2‐carboboration and‐
silylation reactions of alkenes containing cleavable directing groups. With B2pin2 or …

Among the plethora of catalytic methods developed for hydrocarbofunctionalization of
olefins to date, reactions that regioselectively install a functionalized alkyl unit at the 2 …

An enantioselective addition reaction of various alkyl groups to unactivated internal alkenes
under Cu catalysis has been developed. The reaction uses amide-linked aminoquinoline as …

A substrate-directed enantioselective anti-carboboration reaction of alkenes has been
developed, wherein a carbon-based nucleophile and a boron moiety are installed across …

Comprehensive Summary Cyclobutane derivatives have been recognized as useful
structural motifs in organic synthesis and drug design. With the revival of photochemistry, the …

A Pd-catalyzed carboxamide-directed enantioselective 1, 2-carboboration reaction of
unactivated alkenes with C–H nucleophiles and B2Pin2 has been developed using a …

A palladium-catalyzed C–H iodination of unactivated alkenes is reported. A picolinamide
