The topic of this review is the amide-directed functionalization of strained carbocycles — specifically, unsaturated or saturated three- and four-membered rings. The following approaches are discussed: a) directed carbometallation and hydrometallation of cyclopropenes catalyzed by transition metals; b) directed metal-templated nucleophilic addition reactions; c) directed C-H functionalization, including transition metal-catalyzed C-H-activation reactions; and d) directed radical additions.
Catalytic decarboxylative reactions are attractive as biomimetic and environmentally friendly reaction processes. This review summarizes recent results for organocatalytic enantioselective decarboxylative reactions from October 2013 to December 2019.
