Abstract
Catalytic methods allowing for the reliable prediction and control of diverse regioselectivity along with the control of enantioselectivity to access different regio- and enantiomers by switching the least reaction parameters are one of the most attractive ways in organic synthesis, which provide access to diverse enantioenriched architectures from identical starting materials. Herein, a Co-catalyzed regiodivergent and enantioselective reductive hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes with aldehydes has been achieved, furnishing different enantioenriched homoallylic alcohol architectures in good levels of enantioselectivity. The reaction features the switch of regioselectivity tuned by the selection of proton source. The use of an acid as proton source provided asymmetric 1,2-hydroalkylation products under reductive conditions, yet asymmetric 4,3-hydroalkylation products were obtained with silane as hydride source. This catalytic protocol allows for the access of homoallylic alcohols with two continuous saturated carbon centers in good levels of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Trisubstituted Vicinal Diols through Copper(I)-Catalyzed Diastereoselective and Enantioselective Allylation of Ketones with Siloxypropadienes. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202402195.

Abstract
Chiral trisubstituted vicinal diols are a type of important organic compounds, serving as both common structure units in bioactive natural products and chiral auxiliaries in asymmetric synthesis. Herein, by using siloxypropadienes as the precursors of allyl copper(I) species, a copper(I)-catalyzed diastereoselective and enantioselective reductive allylation of ketones was achieved, providing both syn-diols and anti-diols in good to excellent enantioselectivity. DFT calculations show that cis-γ-siloxy-allyl copper species are generated favorably with either 1-TBSO-propadiene or 1-TIPSO-propadiene. Moreover, the steric difference of TBS group and TIPS group distinguishes the face selectivity of acetophenone, leading to syn-selectivity for 1-TBSO-propadiene and anti-selectivity for 1-TIPSO-propadiene. Easy transformations of the products were performed, demonstrating the synthetic utility of the present method. Moreover, one chiral diol prepared in the above transformations was used as a suitable organocatalyst for the catalytic asymmetric reductive self-coupling of aldimines generated in situ with B2(neo)2.

Abstract
Dicarboxylic acids and derivatives are important building blocks in organic synthesis, biochemistry, and the polymer industry. Although catalytic dicarboxylation with CO2 represents a straightforward and sustainable route to dicarboxylic acids, it is still highly challenging and limited to generation of achiral or racemic dicarboxylic acids. To date, catalytic asymmetric dicarboxylation with CO2 to give chiral dicarboxylic acids has not been reported. Herein, we report the first asymmetric dicarboxylation of 1,3-dienes with CO2 via Cu catalysis. This strategy provides an efficient and environmentally benign route to chiral dicarboxylic acids with high regio-, chemo-, and enantioselectivities. The copper self-relay catalysis, that is, Cu-catalyzed boracarboxylation of 1,3-dienes to give carboxylated allyl boronic ester intermediates and subsequent carboxylation of C-B bonds to give dicarboxylates, is key to the success of this dicarboxylation. Moreover, this protocol exhibits broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, easy product derivatizations, and facile synthesis of chiral liquid crystalline polyester and drug-like scaffolds.

Abstract
We report a mild, catalytic method for the intermolecular reductive coupling of feedstock dienes and styrenes with ketones. Our conditions allow concomitant formation of a cobalt hydride species and single-electron reduction of ketones. Subsequent selective hydrogen-atom transfer from the cobalt hydride generates an allylic radical which can selectively couple with the persistent radical-anion of the ketone. This radical-radical coupling negates unfavourable steric interactions of ionic pathways and avoids the unstable alkoxy radical of previous radical olefin-carbonyl couplings, which were limited, as a result, to aldehydes. Applications of this novel and straightforward approach include the efficient synthesis of drug molecules, key intermediates in drug synthesis and site-selective late-stage functionalisation.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric allylation of ketones under proton-transfer conditions is a challenging issue due to the limited pronucleophiles and the electrophilic inertness of ketones. Herein, a copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric allylation of ketones with 2-aza-1,4-dienes (N-allyl-1,1-diphenylmethanimines) is disclosed, which affords a series of functionalized homoallyl tertiary alcohols in high to excellent enantioselectivity. Interestingly, N-allyl-1,1-diphenylmethanimines work as synthetic equivalents of propanals. Upon the acidic workup, a formal asymmetric β-addition of propanals to ketones is achieved. An investigation on KIE effect indicates that the deprotonation of N-allyl-1,1-diphenylmethanimines is the rate-determining step, which generates nucleophilic allyl copper(I) species. Finally, the synthetic utility of the present method is demonstrated by the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-boivinianin A and (R)-gossonorol.

Abstract
The development of efficient and sustainable methods for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds with the simultaneous stereoselective generation of vicinal stereogenic centers is a longstanding goal in organic chemistry. Low-valent nickel(0) complexes which promote α-functionalization of carbonyls leveraging its pro-nucleophilic character in conjunction with suitable olefin acceptors are scarce. We report a Ni(0)NHC catalyst which selectively converts ketones and non-conjugated dienes to synthetically highly valuable α-allylated products. The catalyst directly activates the α-hydrogen atom of the carbonyl substrate transferring it to the olefin acceptor. The transformation creates adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers in a highly diastereoselective and enantioselective manner. Computational studies indicate the ability of the Ni(0)NHC catalyst to trigger a ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer process from the ketone α-hydrogen atom to the olefin substrate, setting the selectivity of the process. The shown selective functionalization of the α-C-H bond of carbonyl groups by the Ni(0)NHC catalyst opens up new opportunities to exploit sustainable 3d-metal catalysis for a stereoselective access to valuable chiral building blocks.

Abstract
The first correlation between metal-centered stereogenicity and regioselectivity in a catalytic process is described. Alternate pseudo-diastereomeric chiral-at-ruthenium complexes of the type RuX(CO)[η3-prenyl][(S)-SEGPHOS] form in a halide-dependent manner and display divergent regioselectivity in catalytic C-C couplings of isoprene to alcohol proelectrophiles via hydrogen autotransfer. Whereas the chloride-bound ruthenium-SEGPHOS complex prefers a trans-relationship between the halide and carbonyl ligands and delivers products of carbonyl sec-prenylation, the iodide-bound ruthenium-SEGPHOS complex prefers a cis-relationship between the halide and carbonyl ligands and delivers products of carbonyl tert-prenylation. The chloride- and iodide-bound ruthenium-SEGPHOS complexes were characterized in solution and solid phase by 31P NMR and X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory calculations of the iodide-bound catalyst implicate a Curtin-Hammett-type scenario in which the transition states for aldehyde coordination from an equilibrating mixture of sec- and tert-prenylruthenium complexes are rate- and product-determining. Thus, control of metal-centered diastereoselectivity has unlocked the first catalytically enantioselective isoprene-mediated carbonyl tert-prenylations.

Abstract
Intermolecular metal-catalyzed C‒C couplings of unactivated primary alcohols or aldehydes to form ketones are catalogued. Reactions are classified on the basis of pronucleophile. Protocols involving premetalated reagents or reactants that incorporate directing groups are not covered. These methods represent an emerging alternative to classical multi-step protocols for ketone construction that exploit premetalated reagents, and/or steps devoted to redox manipulations and carboxylic acid derivatization.

Abstract
We report the first catalyst-controlled regiodivergent method that enables the synthesis of structurally diverse 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted conjugated dienes with excellent regio- and stereochemical outcomes from the same set of readily available propargyl esters and diaryliodonium salts. In this diene chemistry, the in situ generated, highly electrophilic aryl-CuIII complex serves not only as a π-Lewis acid catalyst for alkyne activation/acyloxy migration but also as an aryl electrophile equivalent. The competitive arylative 1,2- and 1,3-acyloxy migration patterns are exquisitely dictated by Cu and Au/Cu relay catalyses, respectively, providing a modular and attractive approach to traditionally inaccessible tetrasubstituted 1,3-dienes in a regiodivergent manner. Finally, the synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by further synthetic derivatization of 1,3-dienes into an array of useful compounds.

Abstract
The first use of 1,4-pentadiene and 1,5-hexadiene as allylmetal pronucleophiles in regio-, anti-diastereo-, and enantioselective carbonyl addition from alcohol proelectrophiles is described. As corroborated by deuterium labeling experiments, primary alcohol dehydrogenation delivers a ruthenium hydride that affects alkene isomerization to furnish a conjugated diene, followed by transfer hydrogenative carbonyl addition. Hydrometalation appears to be assisted by the formation of a fluxional olefin-chelated homoallylic alkylruthenium complex II, which exists in equilibrium with its pentacoordinate η1 form to enable β-hydride elimination. This effect confers remarkable chemoselectivity: while 1,4-pentadiene and 1,5-hexadiene are competent pronucleophiles, higher 1,n-dienes are not, and the olefinic functional groups of the products remain intact under conditions in which the 1,4- and 1,5-dienes isomerize. A survey of halide counterions reveals iodide-bound ruthenium-JOSIPHOS catalysts are uniquely effective in these processes. This method was used to prepare a previously reported C1-C7 substructure of (-)-pironetin in 4 vs 12 steps.

Abstract
Herein, we report the development of an improved system for the Cu-catalyzed enantioselective reductive coupling of ketones and allenamides through the optimization of the allenamide to avoid an on-cycle rearrangement. High enantioselectivities could be obtained for a variety of ketones. Use of the acyclic allenamides described herein selectively generated anti-diastereomers in contrast to cyclic allenamides that were previously shown to favor the syn-form. A rationale for this change in diastereoselectivity is also presented.

Abstract
Iodide-bound ruthenium-JOSIPHOS complexes catalyze the redox-neutral C-C coupling of primary alcohols 2a-2r with the gaseous allene (propadiene) 1a to form enantiomerically enriched homoallylic alcohols 3a-3r with complete atom-efficiency. Using formic acid as reductant, aldehydes dehydro-2a and dehydro-2c participate in reductive C-C coupling with allene to deliver adducts 3a and 3c with comparable levels of asymmetric induction. Deuterium labeling studies corroborate a mechanism in which alcohol dehydrogenation triggers allene hydroruthenation to form transient allylruthenium-aldehyde pairs that participate in carbonyl addition. Notably, due to a kinetic preference for primary alcohol dehydrogenation, chemoselective C-C coupling of 1°,2°-1,3-diols occurs in the absence of protecting groups. As illustrated by the synthesis of C7-C15 of spirastrellolide B and F (7 vs 17 steps), C3-C10 of cryptocarya diacetate (3 vs 7 or 9 steps), and a fragment common to C8'-C14' of mycolactone F (1 vs 4 steps) and C22-C28 marinomycin A (1 vs 9 steps), this capability streamlines type I polyketide construction.

Abstract
Iodide-bound ruthenium-JOSIPHOS complexes catalyze the redox-neutral C-C coupling of primary alcohols with methylallene (1,2-butadiene) or 1,3-butadiene to form products of anti-crotylation with good to excellent levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Distinct from other methods, direct crotylation of primary alcohols in the presence of unprotected secondary alcohols is possible, enabling generation of spirastrellolide B (C9-C15) and leucascandrolide A (C9-C15) substructures in significantly fewer steps than previously possible.

Abstract
The nickel catalyzed reductive coupling of aldehydes with sorbate esters and related electron-deficient 1,3-dienes are known in the literature to occur at the π-bond proximal to the ester to afford aldol-type products. In stark contrast to this established path, a VAPOL-derived phosphoramidite ligand in combination with a bench-stable nickel precatalyst brokers a regiocomplementary course in that C-C bond formation proceeds exclusively at the distal alkene site to give deoxypropionate type products carrying an acrylate handle; they can be made in either anti- or syn-configured form. In addition to this enabling reverse pathway, the reaction is distinguished by excellent levels of chemo-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity; moreover, it can be extended to the catalytic formation of F3C-substituted stereogenic centers. The use of a dienyl pinacolboronate instead of a sorbate ester is also possible, which opens access to valuable chiral borylated building blocks in optically active form.

Abstract
The enantioselective synthesis of bis-homoallylic alcohols through nickel-catalyzed three-component fragment couplings of simple aldehydes, dienes, and aryl organoborons is disclosed. The reactions proceed through diene dicarbofunctionalization that concurrently forms two C-C bonds and two stereogenic centers. The transformations are promoted by a 5.0 mol % loading of a readily accessible chiral phosphine-nickel complex and afford products with high stereoselectivity.

Abstract
The intermolecular addition of allylic copper species generated from diene and copper hydride remains elusive. Herein copper hydride catalyzed asymmetric cross reductive coupling of conjugated dienes and ketoimines including trifluoromethyl ketoimines and α-iminoacetates was first achieved using chiral Ph-BPE as the ligand, providing rapid access to structurally and optically enriched homoallylic amines containing two vicinal stereogenic centers with up to 95% yield, 99% ee, and 11:1 diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
Iridium-tol-BINAP-catalyzed reductive coupling of allylic acetates with oxetanones and azetidinones mediated by 2-propanol provides chiral α-stereogenic oxetanols and azetidinols. As illustrated in 50 examples, complex, nitrogen-rich substituents that incorporate the top 10 N-heterocycles found in FDA-approved drugs are tolerated. In addition to 2-propanol-mediated reductive couplings, oxetanols and azetidinols may serve dually as reductant and ketone proelectrophiles in redox-neutral C-C couplings via hydrogen auto-transfer, as demonstrated by the conversion of dihydro-1a and dihydro-1b to adducts 3a and 4a, respectively. The present method delivers hitherto inaccessible chiral oxetanols and azetidinols, which are important bioisosteres.

Abstract
The selective reductive coupling of vinyl heteroarenes with aldehydes and ketones represents a versatile approach for the rapid construction of enantiomerically enriched secondary and tertiary alcohols, respectively. Herein, we demonstrate a CuH-catalyzed regiodivergent coupling of vinyl heteroarenes with carbonyl-containing electrophiles, in which the selectivity is controlled by the ancillary ligand. This approach leverages an in situ generated benzyl- or dearomatized allyl-Cu intermediate, yielding either the dearomatized or exocyclic addition products, respectively. The method exhibits excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity and tolerates a range of common functional groups and heterocycles. The dearomative pathway allows direct access to a variety of functionalized saturated heterocyclic structures. The reaction mechanism was probed using a combination of experimental and computational approach. Density functional theory studies suggest that the ligand-controlled regioselectivity results from the C-H/π interaction and steric repulsion in transition states, leading to the major and minor regioisomers, respectively. Hydrocupration of vinyl heteroarene pronucleophile is the enantiodetermining step, whereas the diastereoselectivity is enforced by steric interactions between the benzylic or allyl-Cu intermediate and carbonyl-containing substrates in a six-membered cyclic transition state.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed regiodivergent hydrosilylation of a wide range of simple allenes is reported. Linear and branched allylsilanes were formed by judicious choice of solvents. Furthermore, branched allylsilanes were obtained with high enantioselectivity (up to 97% enantiomeric excess) with the aid of a C2-symmetric bisphosphine ligand in the unprecedented asymmetric allene hydrosilylation.

Abstract
AbstractAcyclic quaternary carbon stereocenters occur frequently in natural products, bioactive molecules, and pharmaceutical compounds. Construction of a carbon stereogenic center attached to four different carbons with defined spatial arrangement is a daunting challenge in asymmetric catalysis. Significant efforts have been directed towards the stereoselective construction of such acyclic quaternary carbon stereocenters. In particular, catalytic generation of acyclic quaternary carbon stereocenters through functionalization of unsaturated hydrocarbons is an extremely attractive approach because unsaturated hydrocarbons are easily accessible both in industry and in organic synthesis. In this short review, we summarize the recent advances achieved in this research area, with the aim to inspire future development.1 Introduction2 Acyclic Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters through Functionalization of Allenes3 Acyclic Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters through Functionalization of Dienes4 Acyclic Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters through Functionalization of Mono-alkenes5 Acyclic Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters through Functionalization of Alkynes6 Summary and Outlook

Abstract
The total synthesis of soraphen A, a myxobacterial metabolite and inhibitor of acetyl CoA carboxylase, was completed in 11 steps (longest linear sequence), less than half the steps previously required. Seven metal-catalyzed processes were deployed to unlock step-economy (comprising five asymmetric processes and four C-C bond formations). The present route does not utilize chiral auxiliaries, and four of five C-C bond formations exploit non-premetalated partners. To maximize convergency, an asymmetric Tsuji reduction was developed using a Pd-AntPhos catalyst that allows a metathesis-inactive allylic carbonate to serve as a masked terminal olefin, thereby enabling successive olefin metathesis events.

Abstract
We report a diastereoconvergent synthesis of anti-1,2-amino alcohols bearing N-containing quaternary stereocenters using an intermolecular direct C–H amination of homoallylic alcohol derivatives catalyzed by a phosphine selenide. Destruction of the allylic stereocenter during the selenium-catalyzed process allows selective formation of a single diastereomer of the product starting from any diastereomeric mixture of the starting homoallylic alcohol derivatives, eliminating the need for the often-challenging diastereoselective preparation of starting materials. Mechanistic studies show that the diastereoselectivity is controlled by a stereoelectronic effect (inside alkoxy effect) on the transition state of the final [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, leading to the observed anti selectivity. The power of this protocol is further demonstrated on an extension to the synthesis of syn-1,4-amino alcohols from allylic alcohol derivatives, constituting a rare example of 1,4-stereoinduction. We report a diastereoconvergent synthesis of anti-1,2-amino alcohols bearing N-containing quaternary stereocenters using an intermolecular direct C–H amination of homoallylic alcohol derivatives catalyzed by a phosphine selenide.![]()

Abstract
Crystallographic characterization of RuX(CO)(η3-C3H5)(JOSIPHOS), where X = Cl, Br, or I, reveals a halide-dependent diastereomeric preference that defines metal-centered stereogenicity and, therefrom, the enantioselectivity of C-C coupling in ruthenium-catalyzed anti-diastereo- and enantioselective C-C couplings of primary alcohols with 1-aryl-1-propynes to form products of carbonyl anti-(α-aryl)allylation. Computational studies reveal that a non-classical hydrogen bond between iodide and the aldehyde formyl CH bond stabilizes the favored transition state for carbonyl addition. An improved catalytic system enabling previously unattainable transformations was developed that employs an iodide-containing precatalyst, RuI(CO)3(η3-C3H5), in combination with trifluoroethanol, as illustrated by the first enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed C-C couplings of ethanol to form higher alcohols.
