Asymmetric Reduction of Unactivated Alkenes
Unactivated alkenes rank among the most inert functional groups in synthesis and their selective reduction remains challenging. This Review charts the evolution from classical metal‐catalyzed hydrogenation to radical hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and emerging biocatalytic concepts, highlighting how complementary mechanistic strategies, including the ...

Bifunctional Photocatalysts: Exploiting Proximity for Enhanced Reaction Performance
This review covers the application of the bifunctional approach to photocatalysis as a means to attain (enhanced) enantioselectivity, and, more in general, as a strategy to enhance the catalytic performance through an effective use of short‐lived reaction intermediates.

Abstract The synthesis and characterization of an amphiphilic nitroxide to be used as a controlling agent in a nitroxide‐mediated living radical polymerization in aqueous dispersion media is presented. In the first stage of nitroxide synthesis (phthalimide protection), two reaction methods were employed: traditional and microwave.

Sustainable hydrogen production can be obtained from hydogen‐rich biomass‐derived organic molecules through Acceptorless Dehydrogenation (AD) reactions. Glycerol and sugars are available in large quantities from industry and can be successfully used as substrates in AD protocols, in the presence of tailored, selective, easily tunable and thermally ...

Reactivity of pi-complexes of Ti, V, and Nb towards dithioacetic acid: Synthesis and structure of novel metal sulfur-containing complexes [PDF]
In order to use sulfur-containing resources economically and with minimal environmental damage, it is important to understand the desulfurization processes. Hydrodesulfurization, for example, is carried out on the surface of a heterogeneous metal sulfide

we have developed an electrochemical Ni−H catalyzed arylation coupling method of unactivated alkenes with aryl halides. The method displays broad functional group tolerance and proceeds under very mild conditions. Furthermore, aryl chlorides were also compatible substrates in this catalytic system. This conversion holds significant implications for the

Recent Developments in the Field of Air‐Stable Nickel(0) Precatalysts for Cross‐Coupling Reactions
The development of bench‐stable Ni(0) sources aims to replace air‐sensitive [Ni(COD)2] (cod = cycloocta‐1,5‐diene) with easy‐to‐handle alternatives. Through a targeted ligand design, using electron‐deficient dienes, carbenes, and fluorophosphines, researchers have achieved air‐ and moisture‐tolerant complexes that show high catalytic activity in cross ...

Rigid Ligand Environments at Beryllium, From Spectroscopic Probes to Small Molecule Activation
Due to the high rigidity and definition of beryllium scorpionate complexes, they can be used to study metal‐pseudohalide and ‐carbon bonds in detail. Furthermore, these compounds can be used to activate small molecules and exhibit unprecedented transmetalation reactions. In beryllium scorpionate complexes, three of the four available coordination sites
