In the arena of enantioselective synthesis, titanium complexes wear the laurel wreath
Article Abstract:
The impressive amount of enantioselective synthetic uses that have been found for titanium catalysts and/or reagents, from classical reactions such as 1,2- and 1,4-additions, Diels-Alder reactions, or oxidations and reduction to new procedures such as the enantioselective nucleophilic addition of 'unreactive' organozinc reagents to poor electrophilic ketones, or the electrophilic alpha-halogenation of carbonyl compounds is presented. The economical, health and environmental benefits due to the use of titanium complexes are very significant.

Highly functionalized tetrathiafulvalenes: Riding along the synthetic trail from electrophilic alkynes
Article Abstract:
The aim is to give an updated vision of synthetic aspects in the field of the TTF chemistry with the central role of electrophilic alkynes in the synthesis of 1,3-dithiole and TTF systems. The general activity of electrophilic alkynes leading to 1,3-dithiole or TTF derivatives is discussed, followed by the discovery of ADCA and its synthetic applications in this field.
