Abstract
Asymmetric hydrogenation of diaryl 1,4-diketones was achieved by using trans-RuCl2[(S)-BINAP)][(S)-Daipen] as the catalyst and the reaction gave rise to excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities (up to >99% ee and de). This procedure provides a convenient and efficient synthetic method for chiral 1,4-diarylbutane-1,4-diols, which are important intermediates for a variety of chiral auxiliaries and ligands.

Abstract
Owing to the biological significance and great synthetic value of 1,4-diarylbutane-1,4-diols and their derivatives, increasingly considerable attention has been paid to developing effective synthetic methods for chiral 1,4-diarylbutane-1,4-diols. We herein report an efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of 1,4-diaryldiketones catalyzed by a chiral iridium complex bearing f-amphox as ligand, furnishing a series of 1,4-diarylbutane-1,4-diols in excellent yields (up to >99%) with exceptional enantioselectivities (up to >99.9% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to >100 : 1 dr).

Abstract
The importance and prevalance of O-, N-, and S-atom containing saturated four-membered ring motifs in biologically active molecules and potential therapeutics continues to drive efforts in their efficient synthetic preparation. In this review, general and recent strategies for the synthesis of these heterocycles are presented. Due to the limited potential bond disconnections, retrosynthetic strategies are broadly limited to cyclizations and cycloadditions. Nonetheless, diverse approaches for accessing cyclization precursors have been developed, ranging from nucleophilic substitution to C-H functionalization. Innovative methods for substrate activation have been developed for cycloadditions under photochemical and thermal conditions. Advances in accessing oxetanes, azetidines, and thietanes remain active areas of research with continued breakthroughs anticipated to enable future applications.

Abstract
A conceptionally novel nucleophilic substitution approach to synthetically important alkyl bromides is presented. Using molecular bromine (Br2), readily available secondary benzyl and tertiary alkyl phenyl sulphides are converted into the corresponding bromides under exceptionally mild, acid- and base-free reaction conditions. This simple transformation allows the isolation of elimination sensitive benzylic β-bromo carbonyl and nitrile compounds in mostly high yields and purities. Remarkably, protic functionalities such as acids and alcohols are tolerated. Enantioenriched benzylic β-sulphido esters, readily prepared by asymmetric sulpha-Michael addition, produce the corresponding inverted bromides with high stereoselectivities, approaching complete enantiospecificity at -40 °C. Significantly, the reported benzylic β-bromo esters can be stored without racemisation for prolonged periods at -20 °C. Their synthetic potential was demonstrated by the one-pot preparation of γ-azido alcohol (S)-5 in 90% ee. NMR studies revealed an initial formation of a sulphide bromine adduct, which in turn is in equilibrium with a postulated dibromosulphurane intermediate that undergoes C-Br bond formation.

Abstract
Oxazolidinone synthesis through the coupling of carbon dioxide and aziridines was catalysed by an aluminium(salphen) complex at 50-100 °C and 1-10 bar pressure under solvent-free conditions. The process was applicable to a variety of substituted aziridines, giving products with high regioselectivity. It involved the use of a sustainable and reusable aluminium-based catalyst, used carbon dioxide as a C1 source and provided access to pharmaceutically important oxazolidinones as illustrated by a total synthesis of toloxatone. This protocol was scalable, and the catalyst could be recovered and reused. A catalytic cycle was proposed based on stereochemical, kinetic and Hammett studies.

Abstract
This report details a general and enantioselective means for the synthesis of alkyl-substituted aziridines. This protocol offers a direct route for the synthesis of alkyl-substituted chiral aziridines from achiral starting materials. Readily accessed allylic hydroxylamine esters undergo copper hydride-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination with a high degree of regio- and enantiocontrol to afford the aziridine products in good to excellent yields in highly enantioenriched form. The utility of the products derived from this method is further demonstrated through derivatization of the chiral aziridine products to obtain a diverse array of functionalized enantioenriched amines.
