Abstract:
In this personal perspective, hybrid-enabling technologies refer to the integration of multiple methodologies, platforms, and technologies in organic synthesis to achieve more efficient, selective and sustainable chemical reactions. These technologies often combine with traditional or classical synthetic methods towards innovative synthetic approaches to address the challenges of conventional organic synthesis. This perspective emphasizes the utilization of enabling methods, with flow chemistry at the forefront, to achieve more sustainable production of biomolecules, agrochemicals as well as pharmaceuticals.

Similar to cross-metathesis, ADMET also involves the formation of metallacyclobutane intermediate by [2+2] cycloaddition of one of the double bonds of a terminal diene with...
Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
