Hydrofunctionalisation and difunctionalisation of dienes, allenes, and alkynes are widely
utilized in the synthesis of valuable allylic compounds. In the past decades, asymmetric …

Asymmetric hydroalkoxylation of alkenes constitutes a redox-neutral and 100% atom-
economical strategy toward enantioenriched oxygenated building blocks from readily …

This Review examines recent developments in late transition metal-catalyzed
hydroamination and-amidation reactions. A hydroamination is a reaction in which an N− H …

Transition metal catalysis has dramatically changed the face of modern organic chemistry by
introducing a range of novel synthetic methods. A number of outstanding catalytic systems …

The straightforward construction of stereogenic centers bearing unprotected functional
groups, as in nature, has been a persistent pursuit in synthetic chemistry. Abundant …

Conspectus We present a new and efficient strategy for the atom-economic transformation of
both alkynes and allenes to allylic functionalized structures via a Rh-catalyzed …

Nitrogen-containing compounds, such as amines, enamines, and imines, are valuable and
commercially important bulk chemicals, specialty chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. 1 Among …

Tris (dibenzylideneacetone) dipalladium (Pd2 (dba) 3) is ubiquitously used as a source of
soluble Pd species for catalysis and as a precursor in the synthesis of more complex Pd …

Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrofunctionalizations of unsaturated bonds via π-
ƞ3 substitution have emerged as a reliable method to construct stereogenic centers, and …

As an advance in hydrofunctionalization, we herein report that alcohols add to 1, 3-dienes
with high regio-and enantioselectivity. Using Ni-DuPhos, we access enantioenriched allylic …
