This review article summarizes the applications of bismuth(III) compounds in organic synthesis since 2002. Although there are an increasing number of reports on applications of bismuth(III) salts in polymerization reactions, and their importance is acknowledged, they are not included in this review. This review is largely organized by the reaction type although some reactions can clearly be pla...

Metal catalysis has a dominant role in modern organic chemistry. In particular, crosscoupling reactions allow bond formations, which have previously been impossible to perform.[1] Precious metal catalysts dominate the field, but alternative systems based on nickel and copper salts have also, historically, been important. In particular, recent systems based on these metals have been described th...

“Salting out effect” means that the addition of an organic solvent to an aqueous solution of a salt will reduce the solubility of salts and thus induce its precipitation.1 Therefore, the investigations of the physicochemical properties of inorganic salts in organic solvents – water, such as solubility data together with density, refractive index and so on, are of great scientific importance. Va...
