The hallmark of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis is the initial nucleophilic addition of a
phosphine to an electrophilic starting material, producing a reactive zwitterionic …

Ynones are widely used in organic synthesis. Their great success is rooted in their multiple
functional groups. This review focus on advance of ynones in published in the decade 2009 …

This chapter covers the literature published during 2017 relating to the synthesis, the
reactivity and the application of phosphines, excluding the chemistry of their metal …

The present work focuses on a comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) study of
newly discovered base-catalyzed substrate-controlled dimerizations of aliphatic alkynones …

The cascade dimerization of alkynones bearing sterically hindered secondary alkyl groups
at the carbonyl function has unexpectedly furnished highly functionalized furans. The …

6-Methylene-5-oxaspiro [2.4] heptanones have been synthesized via base-catalyzed
dimerization of available alkynyl cyclopropyl ketones. The reaction proceeds effectively in …

The tri (n-butyl) phosphine-catalyzed reaction of isatylidene malononitriles and bis-
chalcones in chloroform at 65 C afforded functionalized spiro [cyclohexane-1, 3'-indolines] in …

Abstract Electron-rich triarylphosphines, namely 4-(methoxyphenyl) diphenylphosphine
(MMTPP) and tris (4-trimethoxyphenyl) phosphine (TMTPP), outperform commonly used …

Organocatalysis has emerged as an effective strategy for chemical synthesis. Within this
area, phosphine‐catalyzed coupling reactions have attracted considerable attention …

A Ca (OTf) 2-and self-promoted ynone–amidine atom-economic formal [4+ 2]-cycloaddition
of various ynones with amidines is reported for the construction of highly functionalized …
