Abstract
Thioesters have been recognized as a class of powerful bifunctional reagents, namely, great donors of acyl and sulfide moieties. However, such application in value-added synthesis is still very limited to date. Herein, a nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction system of aziridines with thioesters was developed under redox-neutral and mild conditions. This catalytic method provides an atom-economic route for the synthesis of diverse β-sulfanyl amide derivatives with wide substrate scope (43 examples), good functional group tolerance, and regioselectivity.

Abstract
Chiral secondary alkyl amines with a vicinal quaternary stereocenter are undoubtedly important and ubiquitous subunits in natural products and pharmaceuticals. However, their asymmetric synthesis remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we merge the ring-opening 1,2-metallate shift with iridium-catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3)-H borylation of aziridines to deliver these frameworks with high enantioselectivities. We also demonstrated the synthetic application by downstream transformations, including the total synthesis of two Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, (-)-crinane and (+)-mesmebrane.

Abstract
A simple and atom economic protocol for the construction of C-X/C-C bonds via catalytic aminium radical-cation salt (Magic Blue)-initiated SN2-type nucleophilic ring-opening transformations of racemic and nonracemic aziridines with different hetero and carbon nucleophiles to afford various amino ethers, thioethers, and amines in up to 99% yield, and with perfect enantiospecificity for some substrates but reduced ee with others (for nonracemic aziridines), is developed. This aminium radical-cation salt-initiated, SN2-type nucleophilic ring-opening strategy, along with various cyclization protocols, is employed to synthesize various biologically significant compounds.

Abstract
An intramolecular formal [3+2] cycloaddition of activated aziridines and epoxides with electron-deficient alkene has been developed for the general and efficient construction of bridged aza- and oxa-[n.2.1] (n = 3 or 4) skeletons. This strategy can be efficiently promoted by lithium iodide. To demonstrate its potential, the intramolecular formal [3+2] cycloaddition was used to access the important intermediate of homoepiboxidine.

Abstract
The first catalytic intermolecular desymmetrization of azetidines was reported by Sun and coworkers in 2015 using a BINOL-derived phosphoric acid catalyst (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 5895-5898). To uncover the mechanism of the reaction and the origins of the high enantioselectivity, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed at the B97D3/6-311+G(2d,2p)/SMD(toluene)//B97D3/6-31G(d,p)/CPCM(toluene) level of theory. Comparison of four possible activation modes confirms that this reaction proceeds through the bifunctional activation of the azetidine nitrogen and the thione tautomer of the 2-mercaptobenzothiazole nucleophile. Upon thorough conformational sampling of the enantiodetermining transition structures (TSs), a free energy difference of 2.0 kcal mol-1 is obtained, accurately reproducing the experimentally measured 88% e.e. at 80 °C. This energy difference is due to both decreased distortion and increased non-covalent interactions in the pro-(S) TS. To uncover the true origins of selectivity, the TSs optimized with the full catalyst were compared to those optimized with a model catalyst through steric maps. It is found that the arrangements displayed by the substrates are controlled by strict primary orbital interaction requirements at the transition complex, and their ability to fit into the catalyst pocket drives the selectivity. A general model of selectivity for phosphoric acid-catalyzed azetidine desymmetrizations is proposed, which is based on the preference of the nucleophile and benzoyl group to occupy empty quadrants of the chiral catalyst pocket.
