Abstract
The de novo construction of enantioenriched 3-hydroxyindolenines and 3-oxindoles from easily available starting materials has been highly desired. Herein, an enantioselectively intermolecular direct [3 + 2] annulation of aryl amine with 2,3-diketoesters to construct 3-hydroxyindolenines with a chiral tertiary alcohol has been disclosed. The results of control experiments and DFT calculation revealed that π - π interaction plays a pivotal role in the enantioselectivity-determining process of [3 + 2] annulation. The following unusual concerted [1,2]-ester migration provides a family of chiral 3-oxindoles in good to excellent yields with excellent enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The efficient synthesis of chiral 2,2-disubstituted indolin-3-ones is of great importance due to its significant synthetic and biological applications. However, catalytic enantioselective methods for de novo synthesis of such heterocycles remain scarce. Herein, a novel cyclizative rearrangement of readily available anilines and vicinal diketones for the one-step construction of enantioenriched 2,2-disubstituted indolin-3-ones is presented. The reaction proceeds through a self-sorted [3+2] heteroannulation/regioselective dehydration/1,2-ester shift process. Only chiral phosphoric acid is employed to promote the entire sequence and simplify the manipulation of this protocol. Various common aniline derivatives are successfully applied to asymmetric synthesis as 1,3-binuclephiles for the first time. Remarkably, the observed stereoselectivity is proposed to originate from an amine-directed regio- and enantioselective ortho-Csp2-H addition of the anilines to the ketones. A range of synthetic transformations of the resulting products are demonstrated as well.

Abstract
Herein, a novel protocol dealing with the preparation of sterically hindered alcohols has been successfully developed via radical-radical coupling reactions enabled by mild and redox-neutral photocatalysis. With alkylsilicates as the radical precursors, a range of primary alkyl radicals bearing various functional groups could couple with a range of phthalimides and activated ketones.

Abstract
A highly efficient photoinduced iron-catalyzed method has been developed for the direct use of alcohols as surrogates for organometallic reagents in the synthesis of tertiary alcohols. This method can be applied to both primary and secondary alcohols with diverse structures, enabling their reaction with aryl ketones under mild conditions. A variety of functional groups, including those that are typically reactive under conventional tertiary alcohol synthesis conditions, are compatible. Mechanistically, this reaction proceeds through the direct addition of the radical to the carbonyl pathway.

Abstract
To develop new radical synthesis strategies, a profound understanding of the electronic transfer mechanism is critical. An activation model called relayed proton-coupled electron transfer (relayed-PCET) was developed and investigated for chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed diradical reactions by density functional theory (DFT). The driving force of electron transfer from the nucleophile to the electrophile is the proton transfer that occurs via the chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyst to the electrophile. Moreover, the origins of the selectivity can be explained by distortion of the catalyst, favorable hydrogen bonding, and strong interactions of the substrates with substituents of the CPAs.

Abstract
Here, we demonstrate that α-C-H and C-N bonds of unactivated secondary amides can be activated simultaneously by the copper catalyst to synthesize α-ketoamides or α-ketoesters in one step, which is a challenging and underdeveloped transformation. Using copper as a catalyst and air as an oxidant, the reaction is compatible with a broad range of acetoamides, amines, and alcohols. The preliminary mechanism studies and density functional theory calculation indicated that the reaction process may undergo first radical α-oxygenation and then transamidation with the help of the resonant six-membered N,O-chelation and molecular oxygen plays a role as an initiator to trigger the transamidation process. The combination of chelation assistance and dioxygen selective oxygenation strategy would substantially extend the modern mild synthetic amide cleavage toolbox, and we envision that this broadly applicable method will be of great interest in the biopharmaceutical industry, synthetic chemistry, and agrochemical industry.
