The amount of research activity concerning α‐methylene‐γ‐butyrolactones and α‐alkylidene‐
γ‐butyrolactones has increased dramatically in recent years. This Review summarizes the …

Abstract α‐Alkylidene‐substituted δ‐lactones and corresponding γ‐and δ‐lactams constitute
important classes of natural compounds that display diverse biological activities. This review …

A transition‐metal‐free Cs2CO3‐catalyzed α‐hydroxylation of carbonyl compounds with O2
as the oxygen source is described. This reaction provides an efficient approach to tertiary α …

A novel strategy for the synthesis of sulfonylated lactones via Ag-catalyzed radical
addition/cyclization reaction of 1, 6-enynes and sodium sulfinates has been developed. The …
