Abstract
Metal-ligand cooperation, in which both the metal and the ligand of a transition metal complex actively participate in chemical transformations leading to enhanced reactivity or selectivity in chemical reactions, has emerged as a powerful and versatile concept in catalysis. This Viewpoint discusses the development trajectory of transition metal-based complexes as catalysts in (de)hydrogenative processes, in particular those cases where metal-ligand cooperation has been invoked to rationalise the observed high reactivities and excellent selectivities. The historical context, mechanistic aspects and current applications are discussed with the suggestion to explore the potential of the MLC mode of action of such catalysts in enantioselective transformations beyond (de)hydrogenative processes.

Abstract
Four-membered carbocycles are fundamental substructures in bioactive molecules and approved drugs and serve as irreplaceable building blocks in organic synthesis. However, developing efficient protocols furnishing diversified four-membered ring compounds in a highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective fashion remains challenging but very desirable. Here, we report the unprecedented asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of cyclobutenediones. The reaction can selectively afford three types of four-membered products in high yields with high stereoselectivities, and the highly functionalized products enable a series of further transformations to form more diversified four-membered compounds. Asymmetric synthesis of di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted bioactive molecules has also been achieved. Systematic mechanistic studies and theoretical calculations have revealed the origin of the regioselectivity, the key hydrogenation transition state models, and the sequence of the double and triple hydrogenation processes. The work provides a new choice for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of cyclobutanes and related structures and demonstrates the robustness of asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in the accurate selectivity control of highly functionalized substrates.

Abstract
On the basis of steric hindrance, one carbonyl group in a diketone can be reduced in a regioselective manner, with high enantioselectivity. The methodology can be extended to ketones with varied length of hydrocarbon chain spacing, and the products can be converted by oxidation to hydroxy esters or lactones without loss of enantiopurity.

Abstract
Stereopure CF3-substituted syn-1,2-diols were prepared via the reductive dynamic kinetic resolution of the corresponding racemic α-hydroxyketones in HCO2H/Et3N. (Het)aryl, benzyl, vinyl, and alkyl ketones are tolerated, delivering products with ≥95% ee and ≥87:13 syn/anti. This methodology offers rapid access to stereopure bioactive molecules. Furthermore, DFT calculations for three types of Noyori-Ikariya ruthenium catalysts were performed to show their general ability of directing stereoselectivity via the hydrogen bond acceptor SO2 region and CH/π interactions.

Abstract
DFT calculations on the full catalytic cycle for manganese catalysed enantioselective hydrogenation of a selection of ketones have been carried out at the PBE0-D3PCM //RI-BP86PCM level. Mn complexes of an enantiomerically pure chiral P,N,N ligand have been found to be most reactive when adopting a facial coordination mode. The use of a new ligand with an ortho-substituted dimethylamino-pyridine motif has been calculated to completely transform the levels of enantioselectivity possible for the hydrogenation of cyclic ketones relative to the first-generation Mn catalysts. In silico evaluation of substrates has been used to identify those likely to be reduced with high enantiomer ratios (er), and others that would exhibit less selectivity; good agreements were then found in experiments. Various cyclic ketones and some acetophenone derivatives were hydrogenated with er's up to 99 : 1.

Abstract
Chiral succinimide moieties are ubiquitous in biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals. Until today, despite the great interest, little success has been made for stereodivergent synthesis of chiral succinimides. Here, we report a general and efficient method for accessing 3,4-disubstituted succinimides through a dynamic kinetic resolution strategy based on asymmetric transfer hydrogenation. The Rh catalyst system exhibit high activities, enantioselectivities, and diastereoselectivities (up to 2000 TON, up to >99% ee, and up to >99:1 dr). Products with syn- and anti-configuration are obtained separately by control of the reaction conditions. For the N-unprotected substrates, both the enol and the imide group can be reduced by control of reaction time and catalyst loading. In addition, the detailed reaction pathway and origin of stereoselectivity are elucidated by control experiments and theoretical calculations. This study offers a straightforward and stereodivergent approach to the valuable enantioenriched succinimides (all 4 stereoisomers) from cheap chemical feedstocks in a single reaction step.

Abstract
While Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation is widely utilized to convert various alkenes into diols with excellent enantioselectivies, kinetic resolution by means of this fundamental catalysis has generally proven to be ineffective. Here we report that, by relying on noncovalent π-interactions that purposely include the substrate's stereocenter in the corresponding catalyst-substrate interaction framework, AD-based kinetic resolution of allylic amides is realized. This method enables such versatile chiral building blocks to be easily accessed with excellent enantiomeric excesses (ee's).

Abstract
The oxo-tethered-Ru(II) precatalyst promoted the one-pot C═C/C═O reduction of chalcones using sodium formate as the hydrogen source in water through asymmetric transfer hydrogenation. Twenty-seven 1,3-diarylpropan-1-ols were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 96%) and enantiomeric purities (up to 98:2). Our data suggested that the enones are first reduced to the corresponding dihydrochalcones (1,4-selectivity) and then into 1,3-diarylpropan-1-ols (C═O reduction). The stereoelectronic effects of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups at the ortho, meta and para positions of both aromatic rings were evaluated. The 2-OH group at the B ring was well tolerated, allowing a straightforward enantioselective synthesis of two flavans through the Mitsunobu cyclization, the antiviral (S)-BW683C and the natural flavan (S)-tephrowatsin E.

Abstract
The synthesis of a range of N-(heterocyclesulfonyl)-functionalised Noyori-Ikariya catalysts is described. The complexes were prepared through a short sequence from C2-symmetric 1,2-diphenylethylene-1,2-diamine (DPEN) and were characterised by a range of methods including X-ray crystallography. The complexes were active catalysts for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a range of acetophenone derivatives, giving products of high ee in most cases, with notably good results for ortho-substituted acetophenones.

Abstract
![]()
We describe an efficient
catalytic strategy for enantio- and diastereoselective
synthesis of homochiral β-CF3, β-SCF3, and β-OCF3 benzylic alcohols. The approach is
based on dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) with Noyori–Ikariya
asymmetric transfer hydrogenation leading to simultaneous construction
of two contiguous stereogenic centers with up to 99.9% ee, up to 99.9:0.1
dr, and up to 99% isolated yield. The origin of the stereoselectivity
and racemization mechanism of DKR is rationalized by density functional
theory calculations. Applicability of the previously inaccessible
chiral fluorinated alcohols obtained by this method in two directions
is further demonstrated: As building blocks for pharmaceuticals, illustrated
by the synthesis of heat shock protein 90 inhibitor with in vitro
anticancer activity, and in particular, needle-shaped crystals of
representative stereopure products that exhibit either elastic or
plastic flexibility, which opens the door to functional materials
based on mechanically responsive chiral molecular crystals.

Abstract
Molecular recognition and self-assembly are often mediated by intermolecular forces involving aromatic π-systems. Despite the ubiquity of such interactions in biological systems and in the design of functional materials, the elusive nature of aromatic π interaction results in that they have been seldom used as a design element for promoting challenging chemical reactions. Described here is a well-engineered catalytic system into which non-covalent π interactions are directly incorporated. Enabled by a lone pair-π interaction and a π-π stacking interaction operating collectively, efficient chiral recognition is successfully achieved in the long-pursued dihydroxylation-based kinetic resolution. Density functional theory calculations shed light on the crucial role played by the lone pair-π interaction between the carbonyl oxygen of the cinchona alkaloid ligand and the electron-deficient phthalazine π moiety of the substrate in the stereoselectivity-determining transition states. This discovery serves as a proof-of-principle example showing how the weak non-covalent π interactions, if ingeniously designed, could be a powerful guide in attaining highly enantioselective catalysis. Non-covalent π interactions have been rarely used as a design element for promoting chemical reactions. Here the authors report a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (SAD)-based kinetic resolution in which a-priori-designed non-covalent forces play a central role in differentiating the enantiomeric substrates.

Abstract
![]()
Noyori–Ikariya
type [(arene)RuCl(TsDPEN)] (TsDPEN, sulfonated
diphenyl ethylenediamine) complexes are widely used C=O and
C=N reduction catalysts that produce chiral alcohols and amines
via a key ruthenium–hydride intermediate that determines the
stereochemistry of the product. Whereas many details about the interactions
of the pro-chiral substrate with the hydride complex and the nature
of the hydrogen transfer from the latter to the former have been investigated
over the past 25 years, the role of the stereochemical configuration
at the stereogenic ruthenium center in the catalysis has not been
elucidated so far. Using operando FlowNMR spectroscopy
and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy, we show the existence
of two diastereomeric hydride complexes under reaction conditions,
assign their absolute configurations in solution, and monitor their
interconversion during transfer hydrogenation catalysis. Configurational
analysis and multifunctional density functional theory (DFT) calculations
show the λ-(R,R)SRu configured [(mesitylene)RuH(TsDPEN)] complex to be
both thermodynamically and kinetically favored over its λ-(R,R)RRu isomer
with the opposite configuration at the metal. Computational analysis
of both diastereomeric catalytic manifolds show the major λ-(R,R)SRu configured
[(mesitylene)RuH(TsDPEN)] complex to dominate asymmetric ketone reduction
catalysis with the minor λ-(R,R)RRu [(mesitylene)RuH(TsDPEN)] stereoisomer
being both less active and less enantioselective. These findings also
hold true for a tethered catalyst derivative with a propyl linker
between the arene and TsDPEN ligands and thus show enantioselective
transfer hydrogenation catalysis with Noyori–Ikariya complexes
to proceed via a lock-and-key mechanism.
