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

Interest in homogeneous gold catalysis has undergone a marked increase. As strong yet air-
and moisture-tolerant π-acids, cationic gold (I) complexes have been shown to catalyze …

In contrast to the widely explored methods for the asymmetric synthesis of molecules
bearing a single stereocenter or adjacent stereocenters, the concurrent construction of 1, 3 …

The stereodivergent synthesis of allene compounds bearing α, β‐adjacent central chiralities
has been realized via the Pd/Cu‐catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric alkylation of racemic …

The ynamide functional group activates carbon–carbontriple bonds through an attached
nitrogen atom that bears an electron-withdrawing group. As a result, the alkyne has both …

The 3d metallaelectro-catalyzed C–H activation has been identified as an increasingly
viable strategy to access valuable organic molecules in a resource-economic fashion under …

The availability of structurally and stereochemically diverse chemical scaffolds is important
to support continual development of drug discovery, functional materials and asymmetric …

Axially chiral allenes occur on a wide range of natural products and synthetic molecules with
significant biological activity. Furthermore, they are versatile building blocks in organic …

Copper-catalyzed decarboxylative reactions of propargylic cyclic carbonates/carbamates
enable the efficient construction of widely available skeletons such as allenes, ethynyl …

We report the development of a new class of multifunctional chiral guanidine/Pd (0) catalyst
system for 1, 4-addition/arylation tandem reaction. A variety of tetra-substituted allenes were …
