The catalytic conversion of chemical feedstocks into products of medicinal and agricultural
value is a key theme across modern synthetic chemistry. As 1, 3-dienes are readily available …

In this work, an innovative route for upgrading biomass-derived phenolic monomers by
“hydrogen-free” hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) was proposed and evaluated. The HDO …

We report here a Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of aldehydes with widely available 1, 3-
dienes under visible-light photoredox dual catalysis. The homoallyic alcohols are obtained …

Driven by the growing energy crisis and environmental concerns regarding the utilization of
fossil fuels, biomass liquefaction has emerged as a highly promising technology for the …

The copper‐catalyzed highly selective protoboration of CF3‐containing conjugated diene
with proton source and B2Pin2 has been developed. This chemistry could suppress the well …

The protoboration of conjugated diene is a kind of important strategy for the synthesis of
allylic borides and homo-allylic borides, because of mild reaction conditions and wide …

The copper-catalyzed, highly enantioselective 1, 4-protoboration of terminal 1, 3-dienes with
proton source and B2Pin2 has been developed. Chiral allylic boronate reagents, which are …

An efficient cobalt-catalyzed geometrical isomerization of 1, 3-dienes is described. In the
combination of a CoCl2 precatalyst with an amido-diphosphine-oxazoline ligand, the …

A practical copper-catalyzed highly regioselective 1, 2-hydrocarboxylation of terminal 1, 3-
diene with carbon dioxide has been developed. Under mild reaction conditions, this …

A practical nickel-catalyzed highly selective alkenylboration of alkenylarenes has been
developed. Under mild reaction conditions, a series of structurally interesting homoallylic …
