Iron-catalyzed dicarbofunctionalization of unsaturated bonds, which enables the simultaneous installation of two carbon substituents at vicinal positions, offers an efficient strategy for constructing complex molecular architectures.
In this comprehensive review, we present a systematic analysis of C(sp2)–C(sp2) bond formation via iron-catalysed coupling reactions as documented in the extant literature.
A practical and efficient method for the synthesis of various Z-vinyl phosphorodithioates via sulfonium salt-mediated difunctionalization reaction of alkynes has been developed.
The stereoselective synthesis of alkylboronic esters from vinyl iodides and various nucleophiles, alkenes or alkynes is presented. Reactions proceed through hydroborations and 1,2-metallate rearrangements without any transition metal catalyst.
This review provides an overview of main group carbene analogues, covering recent advancements, synthesis strategies, and the diverse reactivity of elements in groups 13–15 based on their structural characteristics.
