Aliphatic alkynes and nitriles are privileged motifs in organic chemistry. Therefore, alkynes and nitriles have played a central role for the exploration and development of novel strategies to forge C-C bonds in efficient manner. They are broadly used as v ...
Vicinal amino alcohols and diamines are privileged motifs in organic chemistry. As such, they have been targets of choice for exploring and developing novel and more efficient strategies in organic synthesis. In this context, the difunctionalization of ole ...
A synthesis of vicinal diamines via in situ aminal formation and carboamination of allyl amines is reported. Employing highly electron-poor trifluoromethyl aldimines in their stable hemiaminal form was key to enable both a fast and complete aminal formatio ...
Esters are one of the most common functional groups in natural and synthetic products, and the one-step conversion of the ester group into other functional groups is an attractive strategy in organic synthesis. Direct amidation of esters is particularly ap ...

Interest in base metal catalysis motivates the development of Cu-based photoredox catalysts for organic synthesis. However, only a few Cu catalysts have been applied in photoredox reactions, the majority of which contain one or two 1,10-phenanthroline liga ...

The term functionalized isocyanides refers to all those isocyanides in which a neighbouring functional group can finely tune the reactivity of the isocyano group or can be exploited in post-functionalization processes. In this manuscript, we have reviewed ...
Alkynes and nitriles are important functional groups that serve as versatile building blocks in organic synthesis and find applications in material and medicinal sciences. A convenient and straightforward access to both classes of compounds under mild cond ...
In this review, a personal account of our work in the field of hypervalent iodine reagents is presented. Pioneering experiments, which led to the discovery of the exceptional reactivity of EthynynnnlBenziodoXol( on)e (EBX) reagents as electrophilic alkyne ...
Hypervalent iodine compounds are privileged reagents in organic synthesis because of their exceptional reactivity. Among these compounds, cyclic derivatives stand apart because of their enhanced stability. They have been widely used as oxidants, but their ...
Guidelines for measuring luminescence of inorganic compounds, metal complexes and organometallic compounds are described. Common textbooks and manuals describing these measurements are usually aimed for physical and/or organic chemists and are not always s ...
