Dirhodiums, which feature lantern-or paddlewheel-like structures, have emerged as a class
of useful catalysts in organic synthesis. Among the transformations catalyzed by dirhodiums …

The dirhodium (II)-catalyzed organic reactions, including asymmetric transformation, are
significantly benefitted from the discovery of simple and efficient protocols to introduce …

Cyclobutanone is a strained motif with broad applications, while direct assembly of the
aromatic ring fused cyclobutanones beyond benzocyclobutenone (BCB) skeletons remains …

We report the preparation and characterization of the dinuclear AuII hydroxide complex
AuII2 (L) 2 (OH) 2 (L= N, N′‐bis (2, 6‐dimethyl) phenylformamidinate) and study its …

Catalytic enantioselective reactions of trifluoromethyl carbene represent a powerful method
for the construction of chiral trifluoromethyl-functionalized molecules, but the utilization of …

Described herein is a dirhodium (II)‐catalyzed silylation of propargyl esters with
hydrosilanes, using tertiary amines as axial ligands. By adopting this strategy, a range of …

The tremendous importance of dirhodium paddlewheel complexes for asymmetric catalysis
is largely the result of an empirical optimization of the chiral ligand sphere about the …

The mechanism of Rh2 (S‐NTTL) 4 catalyzed carbene insertion into C (3)− H of indole is
investigated using DFT methods. Since the commonly accepted enol mechanism cannot …

The trapping of the elusive vinylogous position of a vinyl carbene with an aliphatic C (sp3)−
H bond has been achieved for the first time during a silver‐catalyzed carbene/alkyne …

Carboxamidates as equatorial ligands in dirhodium paddlewheel catalysts are widely
believed to increase selectivity at the expense of reactivity. The results of the combined …
