Journal ArticleDOI
The Huisgen Reaction: Milestones of the 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition.
TL;DR: The history of this research area is presented, important older reports are highlighted, and the evolution and further development of the concept of 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Farewell to the HSAB Treatment of Ambident Reactivity
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the HSAB as well as the related Klopman-Salem model do not even correctly predict the behavior of the prototypes of ambident nucleophiles and, therefore, are rather misleading instead of useful guides.
Journal ArticleDOI
N-heterocyclic carbenes: organocatalysts with moderate nucleophilicity but extraordinarily high Lewis basicity.
TL;DR: Since the first isolation and characterization of stable Nheterocyclic carbenes by Arduengo and co-workers in 1991, these compounds have attracted great interest in various fields of chemistry and are of practical relevance as ligands in metal complexes and as nucleophilic organocatalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a general scale of nucleophilicity
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This overall redox-neutral amine α-C–H functionalization features a combined reductive N-alkylation/oxidative α-functionalization and is catalyzed by acetic acid, in contrast to previous reports.
