Abstract
The Cope rearrangement of 2,3-divinyloxiranes, a rare example of epoxide C-C bond cleavage, results in 4,5-dihydrooxepines which are amenable to hydrolysis, furnishing 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds containing two contiguous stereocenters at the 3- and 4-positions. We employ an Ir-based alkene isomerization catalyst to form the reactive 2,3-divinyloxirane in situ with complete regio- and stereocontrol, which translates into excellent control over the stereochemistry of the resulting oxepines and ultimately to an attractive strategy towards 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds.

Abstract
An in situ generated cationic Ir-catalyst isomerizes simple allylic silyl ethers into valuable, fully substituted aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers. Importantly, by judicious choice of substrate, either of the two possible stereoisomers of a given enolate derivative is accessible with complete stereoselectivity. One-pot isomerization-aldol and isomerization-allylation processes illustrate the synthetic utility of this method.

Abstract
A catalytic sequence for the diastereo- and enantioselective preparation of homoallylic alcohols with an adjacent quaternary (stereo)center is reported. The one-pot process relies on the use of a single (achiral or chiral) iridium complex to catalyze the concomitant isomerization of primary allylic alcohols and homoallylboronates into (chiral) aldehydes and allylboronates, respectively. In the same flask, a chiral Brønsted acid is added next to engage the isomerization products into a stereocontrolled allylboration reaction. Structural variations have been performed on both the allylic alcohols and the homoallylboronates. This mild process affords an array of stereochemically congested and complex chiral secondary homoallylic alcohols in high yield, excellent diastereoselectivity, and usually high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
A range of iridium(I) complexes of the type [Ir(cod)(NHC)PPh3)]X are reported, where the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) is derived from the naturally-occurring imidaozlium salt, Lepidiline A (1,3-dibenzyl-4,5-dimethylimidazolium chloride). A range of complexes were prepared, with a number of NHC ligands and counter-ions, and various steric and electronic parameters of these complexes were evaluated. The activity of the [Ir(cod)(NHC)PPh3)]X complexes in hydrogen isotope exchange reactions was then studied, and compared to established iridium(I) complexes.

Abstract
This Account presents the development of the iridium-catalyzed isomerization of primary allylic alcohols in our laboratory over the past 8 years. Our initial interest was driven by the long-standing challenge associated with the development of a general catalyst even for the nonasymmetric version of this seemingly simple chemical transformation. The added value of the aldehyde products and the possibility to rapidly generate molecular complexity from readily accessible allylic alcohols upon a redox-economical isomerization reaction were additional sources of motivation. Certainly influenced by the success story of the related isomerization of allylic amines, most catalysts developed for the selective isomerization of allylic alcohols were focused on rhodium as a transition metal of choice. Our approach has been based on the commonly accepted precept that hydrogenation and isomerization are often competing processes, with the latter being usually suppressed in favor of the former. The cationic iridium complexes [(Cy3P)(pyridine)Ir(cod)]X developed by Crabtree (X = PF6) and Pfaltz (X = BArF) are usually considered as the most versatile catalysts for the hydrogenation of allylic alcohols. Using molecular hydrogen to generate controlled amounts of the active form of these complexes but performing the reaction in the absence of molecular hydrogen enabled deviation from the typical hydrogenation manifold and favored exclusively the isomerization of allylic alcohols into aldehydes. Isotopic labeling and crossover experiments revealed the intermolecular nature of the process. Systematic variation of the ligand on the iridium center allowed us to identify the structural features beneficial for catalytic activity. Subsequently, three generations of chiral catalysts have been investigated and enabled us to reach excellent levels of enantioselectivity for a wide range of 3,3-disubstituted aryl/alkyl and alkyl/alkyl primary allylic alcohols leading to β-chiral aldehydes. The combination of the isomerization reaction with enamine catalysis in a sequential process gave access to α,β-chiral aldehydes in high diastereomeric ratio and excellent enantioselectivity. Catalyst-controlled diastereoselective isomerization of stereochemically complex steroid scaffolds has been achieved, giving access indifferently to derivatives with the natural and unnatural C20 configuration, a long-standing challenge in the field. Structural diversification at close proximity of the reactive site and within the polycyclic domain served to further demonstrate the generality and the potential of the method. Models based on quadrant diagrams enabled rationalization of the high levels of enantio- and diastereocontrol obtained in the isomerization of allylic alcohols.

Abstract
One of the most important challenges in catalyst design is the synthesis of stable promoters without compromising their activity. For this reason, it is important to understand the factors leading to decomposition of such catalysts, especially if side-products negatively affect the activity and selectivity of the starting complex. In this context, the understanding of termination and decomposition processes in olefin metathesis is receiving significant attention from the scientific community. For example, the decomposition of ruthenium olefin metathesis precatalysts in alcohol solutions can occur during either the catalyst synthesis or the metathesis process, and such decomposition has been found to be common for Grubbs-type precatalysts. These decomposition products are usually hydridocarbonyl complexes, which are well-known to be active in several transformations such as hydrogenation, terminal alkene isomerization, and C-H activation chemistry. The reactivity of these side products can be unwanted, and it is therefore important to understand how to avoid them and maybe also important to keep an open mind and think of ways to use these in other catalytic reactions. A showcase of these decomposition studies is reported in this Account. These reports analyze the stability of ruthenium phenylindenylidene complexes, highly active olefin metathesis precatalysts, in basic alcohol solutions. Several different decomposition processes can occur under these conditions depending on the starting complex and the alcohol used. These indenylidene-bearing metathesis complexes display a completely different behavior compared with that of other metathesis precatalysts and show an alternative competitive alcoholysis pathway, where rather than forming the expected hydrido carbonyl complexes, the indenylidene fragment is transformed into a η(1)-indenyl, which then rearranges to its η(5)-indenyl form. In particular, [RuCl(η(5)-(3-phenylindenylidene)(PPh3)2] has been found to be extremely active in numerous transformations (at least 20) as well as compatible with a broad range of reaction conditions, rendering it a versatile catalytic tool. It should be stated that the η(5)-phenyl indenyl ligand shows enhanced catalytic activity over related half-sandwich ruthenium complexes. The analogous half-sandwich (cyclopentadienyl and indenyl) ruthenium complexes show lower activity in transfer hydrogenation and allylic alcohol isomerization reactions. In addition, this catalyst allows access to new phenylindenyl ruthenium complexes, which can be achieved in a very straightforward manner and have been successfully used in catalysis. This Account provides an overview of how mechanistic insights into decomposition and stability of a well-known family of ruthenium metathesis precatalysts has resulted in a series of novel and versatile ruthenium complexes with unexpected reactivity.

Abstract
Ir-phosphinomethyl-oxazoline complexes have been identified as efficient, highly enantioselective catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of 3,3-disubstituted allylic alcohols and related homoallylic alcohols. In contrast to other N,P ligand complexes, which require weakly coordinating solvents, such as dichloromethane, these catalysts perform well in more ecofriendly THF or 2-MeTHF. Their synthetic potential was demonstrated with the formal total synthesis of four bisabolane sesquiterpenes.
