Abstract
A series of naphthalene-diimide (NDI) and perylene-diimide (PDI) connected bis-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of iridium(III) have been prepared and fully characterized. The analysis of their NMR spectroscopic features, together with their molecular structures show that these species display lone-pair-π interactions between the chloride ligands of the Ir(III) complex and the heterocycles of the NDI/PDI moieties. The detection of this type of interaction in solution is due to the formation of two atropisomers, which are formed as a result of the restricted rotation about the Ir-Ccarbene bond imposed by the (Cl)lp⋅⋅⋅π interaction. Variable-temperature 1H NMR analysis allowed the determination of the strength of this non-covalent interaction, which lies between ΔH=6.6 and 10 kcal/mol. The computational studies performed fully support the experimental findings.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been conducted to gain insight into the unique formation of the branched alkylation product in the PdII-catalyzed defluorinative alkylation of gem-difluorocyclopropanes with hydrazones. The reaction is established to occur in sequence through oxidative addition, β-F elimination, η1-η3 isomerization, transmetalation, η3-η1 isomerization, 3,3'-reductive elimination, deprotonation/N2 extrusion, and proton abstraction. The rate-determining step of the reaction is identified as the β-F elimination, featuring an energy barrier of 28.6 kcal/mol. The 3,3'-reductive elimination transition states are the regioselectivity-determining transition states. The favorable noncovalent π-π interaction between the naphthyl group of gem-difluorocyclopropane and the phenyl group of hydrazone is found to be mainly responsible for the observed regioselectivity.

Abstract
The development of methods to allow the selective acylative dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of tetra-substituted lactols is a recognised synthetic challenge. In this manuscript, a highly enantioselective isothiourea-catalysed acylative DKR of tetra-substituted morpholinone and benzoxazinone-derived lactols is reported. The scope and limitations of this methodology have been developed, with high enantioselectivity and good to excellent yields (up to 89 %, 99 : 1 er) observed across a broad range of substrate derivatives incorporating substitution at N(4) and C(2), di- and spirocyclic substitution at C(5) and C(6), as well as benzannulation (>35 examples in total). The DKR process is amenable to scale-up on a 1 g laboratory scale. The factors leading to high selectivity in this DKR process have been probed through computation, with an N-C=O⋅⋅⋅isothiouronium interaction identified as key to producing ester products in highly enantioenriched form.

Abstract
A general and highly enantioselective method for the preparation of tetra-substituted 3-hydroxyphthalide esters via isothiourea-catalysed acylative dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) is reported. Using (2S,3R)-HyperBTM (5 mol %) as the catalyst, the scope and limitations of this methodology have been extensively probed, with high enantioselectivity and good to excellent yields observed (>40 examples, up to 99 %, 99 : 1 er). Substitution of the aromatic core within the 3-hydroxyphthalide skeleton, as well as aliphatic and aromatic substitution at C(3), is readily tolerated. A diverse range of anhydrides, including those from bioactive and pharmaceutically relevant acids, can also be used. The high enantioselectivity observed in this DKR process has been probed computationally, with a key substrate heteroatom donor O⋅⋅⋅acyl-isothiouronium interaction identified through DFT analysis as necessary for enantiodiscrimination.

Abstract
The elusive nature of noncovalent π-interactions leads to their infrequent use as a design element in challenging chemical reactions. Stereocontrolling models based on coordinated noncovalent π-interactions were used for the asymmetric dihydroxylation of 1,1-disubstituted aliphatic alkenes. By introduction of a substituted phthalazine ring into the alkene substrates, the enantioselectivity reached 99% under the catalysis of bis-cinchona alkaloid ligands. Density functional theory calculations indicated a well-orchestrated, π-π interaction-directed "sandwich-like" transition state.

Abstract
Rates of isothiourea catalyzed silylation and acylation reactions were measured for substrates with various electronic substituents at the aryl group. Through these measurements, the intermolecular interactions between cationic catalyst intermediates and different aryl groups were explored. These studies were performed to understand how changes in the catalyst structure affected electrostatic intermolecular interactions. Three different catalysts (N-methylimidazole and two isothioureas) were employed that varied in their ability to delocalize their cationic nature. The results show that more delocalization on the catalyst reduces the sensitivity to the electronics on the aryl group. Surprisingly, the isothiourea with a fused benzene ring provided additional points of interaction with groups that contained lone-pairs, significantly affecting the overall rate. This work helps explore the interactions that dominate in these types of catalytic systems, to aid in future organocatalysis development. Density functional theory (DFT) studies further confirmed isothiourea/aryl ring interaction with the alcohol substrate in the acylation process, which confirmed these hypotheses. Electron rich or lone-pair bearing functional groups stabilize the cationic catalyst core, thereby stabilizing the transition states and accelerating the reaction. It was also discovered that in one case, the formation of a stable substrate dimer was responsible for its lower reactivity.

Abstract
Factors controlling the regioselectivity in alkene hydrocupration were computationally investigated using energy decomposition analysis. The results demonstrate that the Markovnikov-selective hydrocupration with electronically activated mono-substituted olefins is mostly affected by the destabilizing Pauli repulsion, which is due to the electron delocalization effect. The anti-Markovnikov-selective hydrocupration with 1,1-dialkyl-substituted terminal olefins is dominated by the repulsive electrostatic interactions, which is because of the unequal π electron distribution caused by the induction effect of alkyl substituents.

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
Developing strategies to study reactivity and selectivity in flexible catalyst systems has become an important topic of research. Herein, we report a combined experimental and computational study aimed at understanding the mechanistic role of an achiral DABCOnium cofactor in a regio- and enantiodivergent bromocyclization reaction. It was found that electron-deficient aryl substituents enable rigidified transition states via an anion-π interaction with the catalyst, which drives the selectivity of the reaction. In contrast, electron-rich aryl groups on the DABCOnium result in significantly more flexible transition states, where interactions between the catalyst and substrate are more important. An analysis of not only the lowest-energy transition state structures but also an ensemble of low-energy transition state conformers via energy decomposition analysis and machine learning was crucial to revealing the dominant noncovalent interactions responsible for observed changes in selectivity in this flexible system.

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
Macrolactones constitute a privileged class of natural and synthetic products with a broad range of applications in the fine chemicals and pharmaceutical industry. Despite all the progress made towards their synthesis, notably from seco-acids, a macrolactonization promoter system that is effective, selective, flexible, readily available, and, insofar as possible, compatible with manifold functional groups is still lacking. Herein, we describe a strategy that relies on the formation of a mixed anhydride incorporating a pentafluorophenyl group which, due to its high electronic activation enables a convenient access to macrolactones, macrodiolides and esters with a broad versatility. Kinetic studies and DFT computations were performed to rationalize the reactivity of the pentafluorophenyl group in macrolactonization reactions.
