Research has been conducted on aldehydes. Results demonstrate that asymmetric allylidenationation of these compounds with sulfur ylides can be carried out via initial sulfide substitution in order to avoid [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of unsaturated ylides.

Research has been conducted on fluoroarenes and aryl organometallics. The nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between these compounds have been carried out via the use of commercially available ligands and the details are reported.

Research has been conducted on unsymmetrical selenides. The synthesis of these compounds and the reaction pathway which involves generation of the lanthanum phenylselenolate intermediate have been developed and are described.

Alkali-metal atoms are introduced into the molecular structures of rare earth metal clusters to generate additional valence electrons and achieve good metal-metal bonding. The doped complexes are then examined for their crystallographic morphology by means of an x-ray diffractometer. Results indicate that the introduction of the alkali-metal atoms creates more open structures in the rare earth metal complexes to attain a higher I:R ratio.

Research has been conducted on beta-hydrogen-containing primary alkyl iodides, bromides, chlorides, and tosylates. The authors describe the method developed to achieve the cross coupling of these compounds with alkenyl-, alkyl- and arylzinc halides.

Research has been conducted on halides. The authors describe the reactions of primary, secondary and tertiary halides and tosylates with KCN and NaN (sub)3 in different ionic liquids carried out in order to investigate the nucleophilic displacement reaction mechanism.

The authors review the publications on palladium-catalyzed vinylation of aryl halides. The topics include the analysis of the catalytic asymmetric Heck cyclization, the natural product total synthesis and the formation of quaternary stereocenters.

Research has been conducted on 3,4-dihydro-3-tosylpyridin-2-ones. The authors report that the treatment of these compounds with sodium hydride and alkyl halides has led to different 3,4-disubstituted pyridin-2-ones.

Research has been conducted on transition-metal-free Suzuki-type coupling of arylboronic acid and aryl halides. The authors report that this reaction produces biaryls.

Research has been conducted on SmI (sub)2) /H (sub)2 O/amine mixtures. Results demonstrate that at room temperature these mixtures can reduce alkyl halides with higher efficiency than SmI (sub)2) /HMPA/alcohol mixtures.

Research has been conducted on neutral bicyclic 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrimido-[1,3-a]pyrimidine. Results demonstrate that this compound coordinates to copper(I) halides by imine nitrogen, and that the complexes are stabilized by itramolecular interactions or partially dissociated in the solid state.

Research has been conducted on vinyl chlorides. The authors report that the treatment of these compounds with aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution in the acetic acid acetone mixture produces alpha-chloroketone.

Research has been conducted on palladium on charcoal. The authors report that paladium is an efficient catalyst in Sonogashira aryl-bromide cross-coupling reaction if a proper solvent is used.

Research has been conducted on palladium catalysts. Tha authors have determined catalysts' activity for the amination of five-membered heterocyclic halides in order to investigate the factors controlling the reaction scope.

Research has been conducted on 2-naphthoxide ion. The authors demonstrate that this ion has been quenched by aromatic and aliphatic halides in order to produce alkyl and aryl radicals via concerted C-X bond fragmentation reaction.

Research has been conducted on catalyst system for the coupling of organic electrophiles with chelated formate. Results demonstrate that this system produces alkenyl and aryl esters via the use of ruthenium and palladium catalyst.

Research has been conducted on functionalized aromatic/heteroaromatic chlorides or bromides and acetals or carbonates.
