Chiral bis (oxazoline)(BOX) ligands have been successfully used in the asymmetric catalysis
of a variety of reactions for the past decade. 1, 2 However, these versatile catalytic systems …

Two families of catalysts containing trispyrazolylborate (Tpx) or N-heterocyclic carbenes
(NHC) with the group 11 metals have proven useful for several reactions involving the …

A blue light-promoted cross-coupling of two distinct diazo compounds was described. The
reaction produces E-configured trisubstituted alkenes in good yields in the absence of …

Copper-mediated trifluoromethylation of α-diazo esters with TMSCF3 reagent has been
developed as a new method to prepare α-trifluoromethyl esters. This trifluoromethylation …

A gold (I)‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of diazo compounds to afford tetrasubstituted alkenes
has been developed by taking advantage of a trivial electronic difference between two diazo …

The mechanism of the copper (I)-catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction has been extensively
investigated for a medium-size reaction model by means of B3LYP/6-31G (d) calculations …

Controlling the selectivity of reactive intermediates is a major goal of organic chemists.
Carbenes generated by thermal or photochemical extrusion of nitrogen from diazo …

The complex TpBr3Cu (NCMe) catalyzes, at room temperature, the insertion of a nitrene
group from PhINTs into the carbon− hydrogen bond of cyclohexane and benzene, as well as …

Significance: Efficient synthesis of alkenes with high E/Z-selectivity is a very important yet
difficult problem for organic synthesis. In this paper, a very interesting direct stereoselective …

Conjugated dienes can be diaminated at the internal and/or terminal double bonds using Cu
(I) as catalyst and N, N-di-t-butyldiaziridinone (1) as nitrogen source. The regioselectivity is …
