Phosphorus-based organocatalysis encompasses several subfields that have undergone
rapid growth in recent years. This Outlook gives an overview of its various aspects. In …

Abstract This Award Account reports our recent studies concerning the catalytic
transformations that involve a non-classical mode of molecular activation by tertiary …

We report the phosphine-catalyzed intermolecular carbofluorination of alkynes using acyl
fluorides as fluorinating reagents. This reaction promises to be a useful method for the …

We report an organocatalytic trans hydroboration of 3-substituted-propiolonitriles. In the
presence of catalytic amounts of tributylphosphine and pinacolborane, regioselective …

We report an operationally simple route to δ-valerolactones through an organophosphorus-
catalyzed borylative ring-opening/allylation of vinylcyclopropanes providing δ-hydroxy …

The combined molecular dynamics and coordinate driving (MD/CD) method is updated and
generalized in this work to broaden its applications in automatically searching reaction …

Although challenging, the distant C− H functionalization with precision is quite rewarding
and has long been intriguing. Tailoring an appropriate template accomplishes the job but …

Herein, we present the synthesis of the first fully characterized monomeric
triphosphinoboranes. The simple reaction of boron tribromide with 3 equiv of bulky lithium …

We report a tri-n-butyl phosphine catalyzed regio-and stereo-selective hydroboration of
ynamides to yield (Z)-β-borylenamides in good yields. Surprisingly, a formal cis addition to …

Herein, we present the first example of the activation of small molecules by P–B–P bond
systems. The reactivity study involves reactions of two selected diphosphinoboranes,(t …
