An efficient and facile rhodium(II) catalyzed denitrogenative method for the synthesis of 2-aminoquinoline derivatives from 2-quinolones and N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles has been described.
An efficient synthesis of chiral (1-arylethyl)phosphonates of practical interest is reported via asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated precursors using a novel Rh(I)-catalyst.
A direct electrochemical method using CO2 as a carbonyl source provides versatile lactamization products without transition metals and chemical oxidants. Accompanied by advantages of electrochemistry, this established method was made more economical.
Chiral BINAM-derived sulfide and boron trifluoride etherate cocatalyzed enantioselective electrophilic selenylation/semipinacol rearrangement of 1-(1-arylvinyl)cyclobutanols was developed for the first time.
This review summarizes recent advances in the electrochemically enabled construction of indoles from non-indole-based precursors and their underlying mechanisms.
