Abstract
A biocatalytic approach for the synthesis of metaxalone and its analogues was developed based on the reaction of epoxides and cyanate catalyzed by halohydrin dehalogenase. Gram-scale synthesis of chiral and racemic metaxalone was achieved with 44% (98% ee) and 81% yields, respectively, by protein engineering of the halohydrin dehalogenase HHDHamb from Acidimicrobiia bacterium. Additionally, various metaxalone analogues were synthesized at 28-40% yields (90-99% ee) for chiral forms and 77-92% yields for racemic forms.

Abstract
A general method for synthesizing optically active, primary, secondary, and tertiary organofluorides was developed. This chiral pool synthesis utilized the skeleton of arabinose to generate diastereomerically pure 2-oxazolidinone-fused aziridines, which underwent ring opening with a fluoride anion. The adducts, polyoxygenated organofluorides, were useful precursors to various fluorinated compounds, such as fluorinated amino acids.

Abstract
The development of the first asymmetric trans-selective hydrogenation of 1,3-disubstituted isoquinolines is reported. Utilizing [Ir(cod)Cl]2 and a commercially available chiral Josiphos ligand, a variety of differentially substituted isoquinolines are hydrogenated to produce enantioenriched trans-tetrahydroisoquinolines in good yield with high levels of enantioselectivity. Directing group studies demonstrate that the hydroxymethyl functionality at the C1 position is critical for hydrogenation to favor the trans-diastereomer. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that non-coordinating chlorinated solvents and halide additives are crucial to enable trans-selectivity. trans-Selective asymmetric hydrogenation of 1,3-disubstituted isoquinolines.![]()

Abstract
The development of the first intermolecular Rh2(II)-catalyzed aziridination of olefins using anilines as nonactivated N atom precursors and an iodine(III) reagent as the stoichiometric oxidant is reported. This reaction requires the transfer of an N-aryl nitrene fragment from the iminoiodinane intermediate to a Rh2(II) carboxylate catalyst; in the absence of a catalyst only diaryldiazene formation was observed. This N-aryl aziridination is general and can be successfully realized by using as little as 1 equiv of the olefin. Di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted cyclic or acylic olefins can be employed as substrates, and a range of aniline and heteroarylamine N atom precursors are tolerated. The Rh2(II)-catalyzed N atom transfer to the olefin is stereospecific as well as chemo- and diastereoselective to produce the N-aryl aziridine as the only amination product. Because the chemistry of nonactivated N-aryl aziridines is underexplored, the reactivity of N-aryl aziridines was explored toward a range of nucleophiles to stereoselectively access privileged 1,2-stereodiads unavailable from epoxides, and removal of the N-2,4-dinitrophenyl group was demonstrated to show that functionalized primary amines can be constructed.
