The formation of C–aryl bonds has been the focus of intensive research over the last
decades for the construction of complex molecules from simple, readily available feedstocks …

C–S bond activation, cleavage and transformations by means of transition metal compounds
have recently become more and more important in the petroleum industry and synthetic …

Synthesis of biaryls via the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling (SMC) reaction using nitroarenes as
an electrophilic coupling partners is described. Mechanistic studies have revealed that the …

Aromatic nitriles are prepared efficiently through transition‐metal‐mediated cyanation of aryl
(pseudo) halides with metallic cyano‐group sources, such as CuCN, KCN, NaCN, Zn (CN) …

In a previous and recent report, 1 we have highlighted in the introductory section the
transition-metal catalysed carbone carbon bond formation as a fundamental reaction in …

Though often perceived as the simple metaphorical hybrid of synthetic inorganic and
organic chemistry, synthetic organometallic chemistry continues to vigorously differentiate …

Traditionally, the organic chemist has increased complexity in a molecule by the stepwise
formation of individual bonds. It would be more efficient if several bonds could be …

New kid on the block: The cross‐coupling of thioorganic compounds with boronic acids
under neutral conditions in the presence of catalytic palladium (0) and a stoichiometric …

Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are worthy of attention for several reasons,
especially for their biological activities, which have led to the development of numerous …

Structurally, boronic acids are trivalent boron-containing organic compounds that possess
one alkyl substituent (ie, a C–B bond) and two hydroxyl groups to fill the remaining valences …
