Abstract
Cycloheptenones are widespread in natural products and bioactive molecules. An efficient and convenient NaH-mediated Cope Rearrangement of doubly activated vinylcyclopropanes is reported for the synthesis of cyclohepten-4-ones. These flexible intramolecular reactions were applicable to a wide range of substrates and could be performed on gram scale. The derivatization of the product leads to short and highly efficient synthesis of some useful functional molecules.

Abstract
A catalytic enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reaction of various heteroaromatic compounds with glyoxals has been developed. In the presence of a chiral oxazaborolidinium ion catalyst, the reaction provided chiral α-hydroxyketones in high yield (up to 96%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). The synthetic utility of this method was illustrated by conversion of the products to various derivatives such as 1,2-diol and β-amino alcohol.

Abstract
While vinyl cyclopropanes are valuable functional groups in drugs or natural products as well as established precursors to trigger a rich variety of synthetic transformations, their reactive nature can make their installation via direct catalytic approaches challenging. We herein present a modular access to (di)vinyl cyclopropanes under very mild conditions and full conservation of stereochemistry, allowing access to the cis or trans cyclopropane- as well as E or Z vinyl-stereochemical relationships. Our protocol relies on air-stable dinuclear PdI catalysis, which enables rapid (<30 min) and selective access to a diverse range of vinyl cyclopropane motifs at room temperature, even on gram scale.

Abstract
The development of a visible light-mediated synthetic method for chiral 1,2-amino tertiary alcohols is described. In the presence of a chiral oxazaborolidinium ion catalyst and photosensitizer, the enantioselective addition of an α-aminoalkyl radical to aryl methyl ketones under visible light provides chiral 1,2-amino tertiary alcohol derivatives in high yields (up to 88%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). With mechanistic studies such as radical trapping analysis, radical clock analysis, and the measurement of quantum yield, a plausible catalytic cycle is proposed.

Recent Advances in Selected Asymmetric Reactions Promoted by Chiral Catalysts: Cyclopropanations, Friedel–Crafts, Mannich, Michael and Other Zinc-Mediated Processes—An Update. Symmetry (Basel) 2021.

Abstract
The main purpose of this review article is to present selected asymmetric synthesis reactions in which chemical and stereochemical outcomes are dependent on the use of an appropriate chiral catalyst. Optically pure or enantiomerically enriched products of such transformations may find further applications in various fields. Among an extremely wide variety of asymmetric reactions catalyzed by chiral systems, we are interested in: asymmetric cyclopropanation, Friedel–Crafts reaction, Mannich and Michael reaction, and other stereoselective processes conducted in the presence of zinc ions. This paper describes the achievements of the above-mentioned asymmetric transformations in the last three years. The choice of reactions is related to the research that has been carried out in our laboratory for many years.
