In the present review, we discuss recent progress in the field of C–Z bond formation
reactions (Z= S, Se, Te) catalyzed by transition metals. Two complementary methodologies …

Thiocyanates are common in natural products, synthetic drugs and bioactive molecules.
Many thiocyanate derivatives show excellent antibacterial, antiparasitic and anticancer …

Nitrile or cyano compounds are an important part of structural motifs in dyes, agrochemicals,
medicinal compounds, and electronic materials. Also, aryl nitrile is an important intermediate …

Medium-sized heterocycles (with 8 to 11 atoms) constitute important structural components
of several biologically active natural compounds and represent promising scaffolds in …

An effective regiodivergent synthesis toward 1-and 3-thiosugars was achieved through
palladium and cobalt catalysis, respectively. β-1-Thiosugars were obtained from 3, 4-O …

This review summarizes the more recent methods (since 2015) for the synthesis of
thioethers using homogeneous metals as catalysts. The thioether moiety can be found in …

The palladium‐catalyzed silylcyanation of ynamides is described. This reaction is fully
regioselective, delivering tetrasubstituted 2‐aminoacrylonitriles derivatives exclusively …

The intramolecular carbothiolation of unsaturated hydrocarbons using a palladium–NHC
catalyst (NHC= N-heterocyclic carbene) is described. Herein, a single catalyst system …

The first trans‐selective cyanoboration reaction of an alkyne, specifically a 1, 3‐enyne, is
described. The reported palladium‐catalyzed cyanoboration of 1, 3‐enynes is site‐, regio …

A highly regioselective protocol for intermolecular thiocyanation-amination of alkynes by N-
thiocyano-dibenzenesulfonimide (NTSI) as the SCN and nitrogen sources has been …
