Providing new methods for the selective functionalization of small molecules is highly
desirable, because installing molecular diversity in a desired position, for example, allows …

Transition-metal-catalyzed alkylation reactions of arenes have become a central
transformation in organic synthesis. Herein, we report the first general strategy for alkylation …

Hydroarylation of alkenes is one of the most straightforward and atom-economical strategy
for the construction of multi-aryl-substituted alkanes, but systematic studies have been …

Bio-oil generated by the fast pyrolysis of biomass is an unstable material, undergoing
chemical and physical transformations as the oil ages at room temperature. In this study …

Abstract The synthesis of 3 H-1, 2-benzoxaphosphepine 2-oxides and evaluation of their
inhibitory activity against human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) isoforms I, II, IX, and XII are …

The catalytic upgrading of renewable lignin to value-added transportation fuels and
chemicals is considered as the best solution to environmental and energy-related issues …

A new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based Pd–Sn heterobimetallic complex [(NHC) Pd (μ-
Br) SnCl3] 2 with low steric crowding in the active catalytic region was designed. The …

An efficient organocatalytic method for the synthesis of new substituted 9-arylxanthenes (2a–
2u) starting from diarylcarbinol compounds with an arenoxy group (1a–1u) has been …

One-step construction of substituted indolizino [1, 2-b] quinolin-9 (11 H)-ones was achieved
by combining visible-light-photoredox and Lewis acid catalysis for an intramolecular …

Brønsted acid Tf2NH alone catalyzed Friedel–Crafts-type hydroarylation and head-to-tail
hydroalkenylation of vinylarenes under mild reaction conditions have been realized …
