“…For example, for many years, reactions involving C-sp 3 electrophiles suffered both from slow oxidative addition and rapid β-hydride elimination from the resulting organometallic intermediates. However, more than two decades ago, early examples from Tamura [88][89][90] and Miyaura 91 paved the way for Knochel, [92][93][94] Fu, [95][96][97] and others 25,[98][99][100] to understand how to control reactions involving C-sp 3 electrophiles, and pioneered their development as useful agents in cross coupling reactions (see Figure 2 for an example). Today, a wide variety of C-sp 3 electrophiles are broadly useful in Csp 3 -C crosscouplings to make saturated organic compounds, and more recently have been shown to also be compatible in related reductive cross-couplings processes.…”

Cross-Coupling of Heteroatomic Electrophiles

At the advent of cross-coupling chemistry, carbon electrophiles based on halides or psuedohalides were the only suitable electrophilic coupling partners. Almost two decades passed before the first cross-coupling reaction of heteroatom-based electrophiles was reported. Early work by Murai and Tanaka initiated investigations into silicon electrophiles. Narasaka and Johnson pioneered the way in the use of nitrogen electrophiles; while Suginome began the exploration of boron electrophiles. The chemistry reviewed within provides prospective on the use of heteroatomic electrophiles specifically silicon-, nitrogen-, boron-, oxygen-and phosphorus-based electrophiles in transitionmetal catalyzed cross-coupling. For the purposes of this review, a loose definition of crosscoupling is utilized; all reactions minimally proceed via an oxidative addition event. Although not cross-coupling in a traditional sense, we have also included catalyzed reactions that join a heteroatomic electrophile with an in situ generated nu-cleophile. However, for brevity, those involving hydroamination or C-H activation as a key step are largely excluded. This work includes primary references published up to and including October 2018.

Fairness and Liability in the Just War: Combatants, Non-combatants and Lawful Irregulars

Critics of non‐uniformed ‘irregular’ warfare argue that it is unfair both to non‐combatants and to enemy ‘regulars’. I dispute this view by outlining the ‘problem of in bello justice’, which concerns how the leaders of a people forced to fight a just war should distribute risks within their own population. In so far as all are the victims of aggression or unjust occupation, I argue, no citizens on the just side are morally liable to attack. But to benefit from the restraining effects of discrimination, some members must be rendered legally liable. Political leaders must therefore find the most appropriate distribution of the risk of harm: first, by deciding which and how many citizens to select as ‘combatants’; and second, by specifying how far to distance combatants from civilians. I identify four normative considerations that must be taken into account: each possible arrangement must (1) fulfil basic requirements of fairness domestically; then, between equally fair arrangements, leaders ought to determine which offers the most auspicious balance between (2) the goal of survival (of the society and as many of its members as possible) and (3) the goal of winning and, hence, eliminating the injustices that caused the war; finally (4) the arrangement should not be unfair to enemy combatants. On this basis, I argue that in spite of the increased risks it poses to civilians, limited ‘irregular’ warfare might be deployed legitimately against occupiers where using uniforms would render insurgents vulnerable to targeted assassination or arrest prior to actual combat.

The concept of violence in international theory: a Double-Intent Account

The ability of international ethics and political theory to establish a genuinely critical standpoint from which to evaluate uses of armed force has been challenged by various lines of argument. On one, theorists question the narrow conception of violence on which analysis relies. Were they right, it would overturn two key assumptions: first, that violence is sufficiently distinctive to merit attention as a category separate from other modes of human harming; second, that it is troubling in a special way that makes acts of violence peculiarly hard to justify. This paper defends a narrow understanding of violence and a special ethics governing its use by arguing that a distinctive form of ‘Violent Agency’ is the factor uniting the category while partly accounting for the fearful connotations of the term. Violent Agency is defined first by a double intention (1) to inflict harm using a technique chosen (2) to eliminate or evade the target’s means of escaping it or defending against it. Second, the harms it aims at aredestructive(as opposed toappropriative). The analysis offered connects the concept of violence to themes in international theory such as vulnerability, security, and domination, as well as the ethics of war.
