Abstract
Reductive ring-opening of epoxides is a green pathway for synthesizing highly value-added alcohols. In this study, we present a practically applicable approach for the synthesis of anti-Markovnikov-type alcohols with high yields from aliphatic and aromatic epoxides under mild conditions by developing porous metal silicate (PMS) catalysts. A PMS material PMS-20 consists of cobalt and nickel bimetal redox-active sites, exhibiting exceptional catalytic activity and selectivity in the reductive ring-opening of terminal epoxides with >99% yield of primary alcohols. Comparing with the existing methods using noble metals, PMS-20 exhibits broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance by synergistic work between cobalt and nickel species, which is clarified by dual chamber cell system characterization and theoretical calculation results.

Abstract
We describe a unique catalytic system with an efficient coupling of Ti- and Cr-catalysis in a reaction network that allows the use of [BH4 ]- as stoichiometric hydrogen atom and electron donor in catalytic radical chemistry. The key feature is a relay hydrogen atom transfer from [BH4 ]- to Cr generating the active catalysts under mild conditions. This enables epoxide reductions, regiodivergent epoxide opening and radical cyclizations that are not possible with cooperative catalysis with radicals or by epoxide reductions via Meinwald rearrangement and ensuing carbonyl reduction. No typical SN 2-type reactivity of [BH4 ]- salts is observed.

Abstract
The homogeneous catalysis of epoxide hydrogenolysis to give alcohols has recently received significant attention. Catalyst systems have been developed for the selective formation of either the Markovnikov (branched) or anti-Markovnikov (linear) alcohol product. Thus far, the reported catalysts exhibiting Markovnikov selectivity all feature the potential for Noyori/Shvo-type bifunctional catalysis, with either a RuH/NH or FeH/OH core structure. The proposed mechanisms of epoxide ring-opening have involved cooperative C-O bond hydrogenolysis involving the metal hydride and the acidic pendant group on the ligand, in analogy to the well-documented mechanism of polar double-bond hydrogenation exhibited by catalysts of this type. In this work, we present a combined computational/experimental study of the mechanism of epoxide hydrogenolysis catalyzed by Noyori-type PNP and PNN complexes of ruthenium. We find that, at least for these ruthenium systems, the previously proposed bifunctional pathway for epoxide ring-opening is energetically inaccessible; instead, the ring-opening proceeds through opposite-side nucleophilic attack of the ruthenium hydride on the epoxide carbon, without the involvement of the ligand N-H group. For both catalyst systems, the rate law and overall barrier predicted by density functional theory (DFT) are consistent with the results from kinetic studies.

Abstract
Once considered to be exotic species of limited synthetic utility, vinyl cations have recently been shown to be highly versatile intermediates in a variety of processes. Here, we report a method for the synthesis of aryl-substituted benzocycloheptenes and -hexenes using the hydrotriflate salt of an electron-poor pyridine as a uniquely efficient proton source for a vinyl cation mediated Friedel-Crafts cyclization. The mild conditions made possible by this reagent allowed a range of simple and functionalized alkynes bearing pendant aryl groups to serve as suitable substrates for this scalable and convenient protocol.

Abstract
Catechyl lignin (C-lignin) is a naturally occurring linear homogeneous biopolymer composed solely of caffeyl alcohol subunits with cleavable benzodioxane linkages. The inherent structural features of propenylcatechol, a direct depolymerized product of castor seed coats C-lignin, render it a sustainable and promising platform for the synthesis of bioactive molecules. Herein, diversified transformations of propenylcatechol, including C=C bond difunctionalization, β-modification, β,γ-rearrangement, and γ-methyl derivatization, were reported based on known or developed methods. A series of functional molecular skeletons involved in the current synthetic routes for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules were obtained. Starting from castor seed coats, annuloline (natural product) and CC-5079 (antitumor) were synthesized using facile and inexpensive reagents in only four- and five-sequence reactions, respectively, thereby demonstrating a superior step-efficiency to that of reported synthetic routes. Almost all atoms in the C-lignin biopolymer were incorporated into the final products owing to the intrinsic structures of naturally occurring C-lignin. Bioactive molecules produced from C-lignin integrate a low-carbon footprint with high-quality and economical manufacture of pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Atom-economical catalytic reactions are a highly enticing strategy because all atoms of the starting materials are incorporated into the products. Catalytic hydrogenation of epoxides to alcohols is an attractive and alternative protocol to other synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of alcohols from alkenes. In the last two decades, catalytic hydrogenation of epoxides to alcohols has made remarkable progress in chemical synthesis. In this review, an overview of the catalytic hydrogenation of both terminal and internal epoxides to the corresponding alcohols is presented. An outline of both homogeneous and heterogeneous hydrogenation of epoxides to the corresponding alcohols is provided. Moreover, the selectivity, efficiency, and the reaction mechanisms of these epoxide hydrogenation reactions are highlighted.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation of epoxides would be a direct and powerful approach for alcohol synthesis, but it has proven to be elusive. Here, electrochemically epoxide hydrogenation using electrons and protons as reductants is reported. A wide range of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols can be achieved through selective Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov ring opening in the absence of transition metals. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the regioselectivity is controlled by the thermodynamic stabilities of the in situ generated benzyl radicals for aryl-substituted epoxides and the kinetic tendency for Markovnikov selective ring opening for alkyl-substituted epoxides.

A range of substrates including both terminal and nonterminal epoxides are shown to work, and a mechanistic rationale is provided. This work represents the first use of a PCCP derivative as a ligand for transition-metal catalysis.

Abstract
A tunable photocatalytic method is reported for anti-Markovnikov hydro- and aminooxygenation of unactivated alkenes using readily accessible ketoxime carbonates as the diverse functionalization reagents. Mechanistic studies reveal that this reaction is initiated through an energy-transfer-promoted N-O bond homolysis of ketoxime carbonates leading to alkoxylcarbonyloxyl and iminyl radicals under visible-light photocatalysis, followed by the addition of alkoxylcarbonyloxyl radical to alkenes. By taking advantage of the different stability of the iminyl radicals, the generated carbon radical either abstracts a hydrogen atom from the media to form the anti-Markovnikov hydrooxygenation product, or it is trapped by the persistent iminyl radical to furnish the aminooxygenation product. Notably, this is the first example of direct hydrooxygenation of unactivated olefins with anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity involving an oxygen-centered radical.

Abstract
A straightforward methodology for the synthesis of anti‐Markovnikov‐type alcohols is presented. By using a specific cobalt triphos complex in the presence of Zn(OTf)2 as an additive, the hydrogenation of epoxides proceeds with high yields and selectivities. The described protocol shows a broad substrate scope, including multi‐substituted internal and terminal epoxides, as well as a good functional‐group tolerance. Various natural‐product derivatives, including steroids, terpenoids, and sesquiterpenoids, gave access to the corresponding alcohols in moderate‐to‐excellent yields.
