In the present review, we discuss recent progress in the field of C–Z bond formation
reactions (Z= S, Se, Te) catalyzed by transition metals. Two complementary methodologies …

Transition metal-catalyzed C–S bond formation reactions have attracted considerable
attention in the recent years. In this regard, palladium-catalyzed C–S bond formation is …

Despite the growing importance of volatile functionalized diazoalkanes in organic synthesis,
their safe generation and utilization remain a formidable challenge because of their difficult …

A protocol for the Au‐promoted anti‐Markovnikov hydrothiolation of olefins using ex situ
generated methanethiol is reported. The use of S‐methylisothiourea hemisulfate salt as a …

Propargylic alcohols, which possess inherent alkynyl and hydroxyl functional groups, are
one of the most valuable bifunctional building blocks in the field of organic synthesis. The …

A palladium-catalyzed three component cascade S-transfer reaction of acetylinic oximes
with aryl halides using readily available Na2S2O3 as an odorless sulfenylation reagent …

This review covers recent achievements in metal‐catalyzed Z− H and Z− Z (Z= S, Se) bond

Difunctionalization of activated alkenes, a powerful strategy in chemical synthesis, has been
accomplished for direct synthesis of a series of β‐keto sulfides and β‐keto sulfones. The …

Amides are a fundamental and widespread functional group, and are usually considered as
poor electrophiles owing to resonance stabilization of the amide bond. Various approaches …

Abstract α‐Sulfenylated carbonyl compounds are important both as active pharmaceutical
ingredients and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Owing to their relevance in synthetic …
