In situ observed electrodeposition and dissolution of lithium dendrite of commercial graphite electrode.

An asymmetric addition of diarylphosphines to beta-substituted enones under mild conditions using a chiral pincer-palladium catalyst has been developed for the synthesis of chiral phosphines with excellent stereoselectivity (up to 99% ee).

Covering the past seven years, this review comprehensively summarises the latest progress in the preparation and application of Si–B reagents, including the discussion of relevant reaction mechanisms.
