This Review describes the development of strategies for carbonyl–olefin metathesis
reactions relying on stepwise, stoichiometric, or catalytic approaches. A comprehensive …

The palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reaction between alkenes and aryl halides (the
Mizoroki–Heck reaction) is a powerful methodology to construct new carbon–carbon bonds …

Synthetic chemists have learned to mimic nature in using hydrogen bonds and other weak
interactions to dictate the spatial arrangement of reaction substrates and to stabilize …

The chain–walking of terminal alkenes (also called migration or isomerization reaction) is
currently carried out in industry with unselective and relatively costly processes, to give …

Skeletal editing is an important strategy in organic synthesis as it modifies the carbon
backbone to tailor molecular structures with precision, enabling access to compounds with …

The ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclopropenes using hydrazonium
initiators is described. The initiators, which are formed by the condensation of 2, 3 …

Simple aluminosilicates, including NaX and NaY zeolites, catalyze the selective halogen
exchange reaction between two different alkyl organohalides, either in batch or in flow …

Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin metathesis has introduced a new means for revealing
the behavior of Lewis acids. In particular, this reaction has led to the observation of new …

A deoxygenative radical alkylation of aromatic alkynes with alkyl aldehydes for the
preparation of allylarenes has been successfully achieved. This transformation is …

An intermolecular carbonyl–olefin metathesis reaction is described that relies on
superelectrophilic Fe (III)-based ion pairs as stronger Lewis acid catalysts. This new catalytic …
