Alkyne metathesis has emerged as a powerful method for the formation and reorganisation of carbon–carbon triple bonds, enabling the efficient assembly of complex molecular architectures. Central to ...
The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of alkynes and enol esters encompasses a suite of methods that employ chiral transition-metal complexes to forge carbon–carbon triple bonds and install ester ...
A common approach involves hydrocyanation—a reaction in which hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is added across carbon–carbon multiple bonds, especially the triple bonds present in alkynes. Hydrocyanation, since ...
