Abstract
High oxidation-state carbonyl coupling partners including esters and lactones were reacted with enones to give aldol-type products directly using two-fold organoborane catalysis. This new retrosynthetic disconnection to aldol-type products is compatible with enolisable coupling partners, without self-condensation, and couples the high reactivity of secondary dialkylboranes with the stability of pinacolboronic esters. Excellent chemoselectivity, substrate scope (including those containing reducible functionalities and free alcohols) and diastereocontrol were achieved to access both the syn- and anti-aldol-type products. Mechanistic studies confirmed the two-fold catalytic role of the single secondary borane catalyst for boron enolate formation and formation of an aldehyde surrogate from the ester or lactone coupling partner.

Abstract
![]()
Protected aldols
(i.e., true aldols derived from aldehydes) with
either syn- or anti- stereochemistry
are versatile intermediates in many oligopropionate syntheses. Traditional
stereoselective approaches to such aldols typically require several
nonstrategic operations. Here we report two highly enantioselective
and diastereoselective catalytic Mukaiyama aldol reactions of the
TBS- or TES- enolsilanes of propionaldehyde with aromatic aldehydes.
Our reactions directly deliver valuable silyl protected propionaldehyde
aldols in a catalyst controlled manner, either as syn- or anti- isomer. We have identified a privileged
IDPi catalyst motif that is tailored for controlling these aldolizations
with exceptional selectivities. We demonstrate how a single atom modification
in the inner core of the IDPi catalyst, replacing a CF3-group with a CF2H-group, leads to a dramatic switch in
enantiofacial differentiation of the aldehyde. The origin of this
remarkable effect was attributed to tightening of the catalytic cavity
via unconventional C–H hydrogen bonding of the CF2H group.

Abstract
Full details on the design, development, and successful implementation of suitable synthetic strategies directed toward the total synthesis of iso-archazolids and archazologs are reported. Both a biomimetic and a multistep total synthesis of iso-archazolid B, the most potent and least abundant archazolid, are described. The bioinspired conversion from archazolid B was realized by a high-yielding 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene catalyzed one-step double-bond shift. A highly stereoselective total synthesis was accomplished in 25 steps, involving a sequence of highly stereoselective aldol reactions, an efficient aldol condensation to forge two elaborate fragments, and a challenging ring-closing metathesis macrocyclization with an unusual Stewart-Grubbs catalyst. These strategies proved to be generally useful and could be successfully implemented for the preparation of three novel iso-archazolids as well as five novel archazologs, lacking the thiazole side chain. A wide variety of further archazolids and archazologs may now be targeted for exploration of the promising anticancer potential of these polyketide macrolides.

Abstract
The catalytic enantioselective ketimine Mannich and its related reactions provide direct access to chiral building blocks bearing an α-tertiary amine stereogenic center, a ubiquitous structural motif in nature. Although ketimines are often viewed as challenging electrophiles, various approaches/strategies to circumvent or overcome the adverse properties of ketimines have been developed for these transformations. This review showcases the selected examples that highlight the benefits and utilities of various ketimines and remaining challenges associated with them in the context of Mannich, allylation, and aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions as well as their variants.

Abstract
A base-mediated cascade reaction between malonate esters and acrolein was developed to access complex polycyclic systems. This novel tandem reaction enables the simultaneous generation of up to seven new bonds and at least three new stereogenic centers. Mechanistic studies indicate a series of nucleophilic 1,4 and 1,6 Michael addition reactions occur, followed by an aldol condensation reaction, culminating in the formation of three fused rings. The compounds were characterized by NMR studies and the stereochemistry was confirmed by X-ray analysis. The ability to generate multigram quantities of such complex molecular scaffolds renders the method promising for medicinal chemistry campaigns. Herein, we also demonstrate that the lead compounds display promising anti-proliferative activities against human cancer cell models.

Abstract
Catalytic reductive coupling of enone, acrylate, or vinyl heteroaromatic pronucleophiles with carbonyl or imine partners offers an alternative to base-mediated enolization in aldol- and Mannich-type reactions. In this review, direct catalytic reductive aldol and Mannich reactions are exhaustively catalogued on the basis of metal or organocatalyst. Stepwise processes involving enone conjugate reduction to form discrete enol or (metallo)enolate derivatives followed by introduction of carbonyl or imine electrophiles and aldol reactions initiated via enone conjugate addition are not covered.

Abstract
The development of the palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of in situ generated boron enolates via tandem 1,4-hydroboration is reported. Investigation of the reaction revealed insights into specific catalyst electronic features as well as a profound leaving group effect that proved crucial for achieving efficient allylic alkylation of ester enolates at room temperature and ultimately a highly preparatively useful synthesis of notoriously challenging acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. The method demonstrates boron enolates as viable pro-nucleophiles in transition-metal catalyzed allylic alkylation, potentially opening up further transformations outside their traditional use.

Abstract
A method for the selective synthesis of unsymmetrical α-haloketones has been developed. The key transformation is a triphenylphosphine oxide catalyzed reductive halogenation of an α,β-unsaturated ketone in which trichlorosilane is the reducing reagent and an N-halosuccinimide is the electrophilic halogen source. This method allows for a halogen atom to be installed selectively at either of two very similarly substituted sites adjacent to a ketone group.

Abstract
A versatile approach to the valorization of propargylic alcohols is reported, enabling controlled access to three different products from the same starting materials. First, a general method for the hydroamination of propargylic alcohols with anilines is described using gold catalysis to give 3-hydroxyimines with complete regioselectivity. These 3-hydroxyimines can be reduced to give 1,3-amino alcohols with high syn selectivity. Alternatively, by using a catalytic quantity of aniline, 3-hydroxyketones can be obtained in high yield directly from propargylic alcohols. Further manipulation of the reaction conditions enables the selective formation of 3-aminoketones via a rearrangement/hydroamination pathway. The utility of the new chemistry was exemplified by the one-pot synthesis of a selection of N-arylpyrrolidines and N-arylpiperidines. A mechanism for the hydroamination has been proposed on the basis of experimental studies and density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Traditionally, the reductive aldol reaction is a metal-catalyzed and hydride-promoted coupling between enones and aldehydes. We present a phosphine-mediated diastereoselective intramolecular reductive aldol reaction of α-substituted dienones and aldehydes, which is metal-free and hydride-free. The synthetic utility of the reductive aldol adducts is demonstrated by elaborating them in one step to indeno[1,2- b]furanones, indeno[1,2- b]pyrans, and dibenzo[ a, h]azulen-8-ones.

Abstract
A synthetic method for the efficient construction of β-hydroxylactones and lactams bearing α-quaternary carbon centers is described. This transformation relies on an electronically differentiated Lewis base catalyst, which is uniquely capable of promoting a reductive aldol reaction of α,α-disubstituted and α,α,β-trisubstituted enones. This approach provides a valuable synthetic alternative for carbon-carbon bond formation in complex molecular settings due to its orthogonal reactivity compared to that of traditional aldol reactions. Based on this method described herein, lactones, lactams, and morpholine amides bearing α-quaternary carbon centers are accessible in yields up to 85% and 50:1 dr.

Abstract
Diastereoselective aldol reaction of N-tert-butanesulfinyl imidates under typical hard enolization conditions is reported. Potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (KHMDS) effectively promotes the aldol reaction of α-aryl- and α-alkyl-substituted imidates, providing anti-aldol adducts in high yields with good to excellent diastereoselectivities. In the case of α-aryl imidates, high conversion depends on adding trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) to the reaction mixture. In the presence of a suitable Lewis acid, cyclohexanone is a good electrophile in the aldol reaction of imidates.

Abstract
The first carboxylic acid selective aldol reaction mediated by boron compounds and a mild organic base (DBU) was developed. Inclusion of electron-withdrawing groups in the amino acid derivative ligands reacted with BH3·SMe2 forms a boron promoter with increased Lewis acidity at the boron atom and facilitated the carboxylic acid selective enolate formation, even in the presence of other carbonyl groups such as amides, esters, ketones, or aliphatic aldehydes. The remarkable ligand effect led to the broad substrate scope including biologically relevant compounds.

Abstract
The marine natural product (+)-discodermolide was first isolated in 1990 and, to this day, remains a compelling synthesis target. Not only does the compound possess fascinating biological activity, but it also presents an opportunity to test current methods for chemical synthesis and provides an inspiration for new reaction development. A new synthesis of discodermolide employs a previously undisclosed stereoselective catalytic diene hydroboration and also establishes a strategy for the alkylation of chiral enolates. Furthermore, this synthesis of discodermolide provides the first examples of the asymmetric 1,4-diboration of dienes and borylative diene-aldehyde couplings in complex-molecule synthesis.

Abstract
On all fours: The title reaction with (Ipc)2 BH provides tetrasubstituted enolborinates which undergo aldol reactions with aldehydes to form products with all-carbon quaternary centers with exceptional diastereo- and enantioselectivity. A change to the substitution pattern of the starting amide leads to either diastereomer of the α-methyl-α-ethyl-β-hydroxy carboxamide (1 or 2).

Abstract
An enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of syn-β-hydroxy-α-vinyl carboxylate esters 3 via the reductive aldol reaction of ethyl allenecarboxylate (2) with 10-trimethylsilyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.2]decane (1R) has been developed. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the allene hydroboration involves the 1,4-reduction of 2 with the 1R, leading directly to dienolborinate Z-(O)-8a.

Abstract
The (diisopinocampheyl)borane promoted reductive aldol reaction of acrylate esters 4 is described. Isomerization of the kinetically formed Z(O)-enolborinate 5Z to the thermodynamic E(O)-enolborinate 5E via 1,3-boratropic shifts, followed by treatment with representative achiral aldehydes, leads to anti-α-methyl-β-hydroxy esters 9 or 10 with excellent diastereo- (up to ≥20:1 dr) and enantioselectivity (up to 87% ee). The results of double asymmetric reactions of 5E with several chiral aldehydes are also presented.
