Asymmetric hydrofunctionalization of minimally functionalized alkenes via earth abundant transition metal catalysis

TL;DR: Great opportunities exist for the development of three-component difunctionalization reactions with broad substrate scopes and tunable chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities.

TL;DR: This work reviews homogeneous cobalt-catalyzed hydride transfer reactions according to the classified reaction types and provides a comprehensive overview of the design, synthesis, and reactivity of cobalt catalysts, their catalytic applications, and reaction mechanisms.

TL;DR: The field of iron catalysis has been explored in the last two-three decades out of its rich chemistry depending on its oxidation states and ligand cooperation as discussed by the authors, and this field has been enriched by the promising development of iron-catalyzed reactions namely, C-H bond activation, including organometallic C−H activation and C−h functionalization via outer-sphere pathway, crossdehydrogenative couplings, insertion reactions, cross-coupling reactions, hydrogenations including hydrogen borrowing reactions, hydrosilylation and hydroboration, addition reactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the role of carbon-Heteroatom bonds in the synthesis of organosilicon polymers and propose an approach to synthesize functionalised polysilsisquioxanes and Silicon-Containing Dendrimers.

TL;DR: A review of cobalt complex-catalyzed hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes from the early studies in the 1960s until now, with the objective of providing readers with the status of the field and the underlying late 3D metal chemistry that is meaningful for new nonprecious metal catalyst design is provided in this paper.

TL;DR: This issue reports recent progress in the discovery of nickeland iron-based cross coupling reactions that either avoid or make use of odd electron chemistry depending on the ligands and conditions.

TL;DR: Initial observations regarding processes catalyzed by chiral NHC complexes, delivering products in up to 99:1 enantiomeric ratio, are disclosed.
