Abstract
Regioselective and enantioselective hydroxylation of propargylic C-H bonds are useful reactions but often lack appropriate catalysts. Here a green and efficient asymmetric hydroxylation of primary and secondary C-H bonds at propargylic positions has been established. A series of optically active propargylic alcohols were prepared with high regio- and enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) under mild reaction conditions by using P450tol, while the C≡C bonds in the molecule remained unreacted. This protocol provides a green and practical method for constructing enantiomerically chiral propargylic alcohols. In addition, we also demonstrated that the biohydroxylation strategy was able to scaled up to 2.25 mmol scale with the production of chiral propargyl alcohol 2a at a yield of 196 mg with 96% ee, which's an important synthetic intermediate of antifungal drug Ravuconazole.

Abstract
Coordinatively unsaturated complexes are interesting from a fundamental level for their formally empty coordination site and, in particular, from a catalytic perspective as they provide opportunities for substrate binding and transformation. Here, we describe the synthesis of a novel underligated ruthenium complex [Ru(cym)(N,N')]+, 3, featuring an amide-functionalized pyridylidene amide (PYA) as the N,N'-bidentate coordinating ligand. In contrast to previously investigated underligated complexes, complex 3 offers potential for dynamic modifications, thanks to the flexible donor properties of the PYA ligand. Specifically, they allow both for stabilizing the formally underligated metal center in complex 3 through nitrogen π-donation and for facilitating through π-acidic bonding properties the coordination of a further ligand L to the ruthenium center to yield the formal 18 e- complexes [Ru(cym)(N,N')(L)]+ (4: L = P(OMe)3; 5: L = PPh3; 6: L = N-methylimidazole; 7: L = pyridine) and neutral complex [RuCl(cym)(N,N')] 8. Analysis by 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies reveals an increasing Ru-L bond strength along the sequence pyridine <1-methylimidazole < PPh3 < P(OMe)3 with binding constants varying over 3 orders of magnitude with log(Keq) values between 2.8 and 5.7. The flexibility of the Ru(PYA) unit and the ensuing accessibility of saturated and unsaturated species with one and the same ligand are attractive from a fundamental point of view and also for catalytic applications, as catalytic transformations rely on the availability of transiently vacant coordination sites. Thus, while complex 3 does not form stable adducts with O-donors such as ketones or alcohols, it transiently binds these species, as evidenced by the considerable catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones. Notably, and as one of only a few catalysts, complex 3 is compatible with EtOH as a hydrogen source. Complex 3 shows excellent performance in the transfer hydrogenation of pyridyl-containing substrates, in agreement with the poor coordination strength of this functional group to the ruthenium center in 3.

Abstract
ConspectusCatalytic asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most reliable, powerful, and environmentally benign methods for the synthesis of chiral molecules with high atom economy and has been successfully applied in the industrial production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances. The key to achieving highly efficient and highly enantioselective hydrogenation reactions is the design and synthesis of chiral catalysts.Our recent studies involving iridium complexes of bidentate chiral spiro aminophosphine ligands (Ir-SpiroAP) have revealed that adding another coordinating group on the nitrogen atom to form a tridentate ligand can provide catalysts with markedly higher stability, enantioselectivity, and efficiency. Specifically, chiral Ir-SpiroAP catalysts bearing an added pyridine group (designated Ir-SpiroPAP) exhibit high activity and excellent enantioselectivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of a wide range of carbonyl compounds, including aryl ketones, β- and δ-ketoesters, α,β-unsaturated ketones and esters, and racemic α-substituted lactones, as well as highly electron-deficient alkenes such as α,β-unsaturated malonates and analogues. The efficiency of the Ir-SpiroPAP catalysts is extremely high: in the hydrogenation of aryl ketones, turnover numbers reach 4.5 million, which is the highest value reported to date for a molecular catalyst. Moreover, when a thioether or a bulky triarylphosphine group is added to afford tridentate ligands designated SpiroSAP and SpiroPNP, respectively, the resulting iridium catalysts show high efficiency and enantioselectivity for asymmetric hydrogenation of β-alkyl-β-ketoesters and dialkyl ketones, which are challenging substrates. Furthermore, chiral spiro catalysts containing an added oxazoline moiety (Ir-SpiroOAP) show high enantioselectivity for asymmetric hydrogenation of α-keto amides and racemic α-aryloxy lactones. The above-described catalysts have been used for enantioselective synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds.We have shown that chiral spiro ligands that combine a rigid skeleton with tridentate coordination stabilize iridium catalysts. The careful tailoring of the substituents on the ligand creates a chiral environment around the active metal center of the catalyst that can precisely discriminate between the two faces of a substrate carbonyl group. These factors are key for controlling the activity, enantioselectivity, and turnover numbers of asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts. We expect that catalysts based on iridium, and other transition metals, coordinated by tridentate chiral ligands with a rigid skeleton will find more applications in asymmetric hydrogenation and other asymmetric transformations.

Abstract
Asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of double bonds has been one of the most effective methods for the preparation of chiral molecules and for the synthesis of important chiral building blocks. In the past 60 years, noble metals with bidentate ligands have shown marvelous reactivity and enantioselectivity in asymmetric hydrogenation of a series of prochiral substrates. In recent years, developing chiral tridentate ligands has played an increasingly important role in AH. With modular frameworks and a variety of functionalities on the side arms, chiral tridentate ligand complexes enable both reactivities and stereoselectivities. Although great achievements have been made for noble metal catalysts with chiral tridentate ligands since the 1990s, the design of chiral tridentate ligands for earth abundant metal catalysts has still been in high demand. This review summarizes the development of chiral tridentate ligands for homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation. The philosophy of ligand design and the reaction mechanisms are highlighted and discussed as well.

Abstract
Compounds a containing bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (BCP) adjacent to a chiral center can be prepared with high enantiomeric excess through asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of adjacent ketones. In the reduction step, the BCP occupies the position distant from the η6-arene of the catalyst. The reduction was applied to the synthesis of a BCP analogue of the antihistamine drug neobenodine.

Abstract
A new ligand, rac-(R,S)-3,9-bis(pyridin-3-yl)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane ((R,S)-bptu), is synthesized, and five novel complexes, namely, {[Cu[(R,S)-bptu]Cl2]·0.5NMP}n (1), {[Zn[(R,S)-bptu]Cl2]·CH3CN}n (2), {Cd2[(R,S)-bptu]2Cl4(NMP)2}n (3), {[Cd[(R,S)-bptu]2Cl2]·2CH3CN}n (4), and {Cd3[(R,S)-bptu]2Cl6(DMF)2}n (5), (NMP = N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), are obtained via a layered diffusional reaction. (R,S)-bptu and complexes 1-5 are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, element analyses, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). Complexes 1-3 show three different 1D structures: 1 is a mesomeric looped chain, 2 is a racemic helix compound, and 3 is a mesomeric zigzag chain, while 4 and 5 are two different mesomeric 2D structures, of which 4 is a 2D wave-like layer and 5 is a 2D cellular layer. Structural diversity indicates that the coordination preferences (cis- and trans-configurations) of (R,S)-bptu play a leading role in the self-assembly of complexes: cis-bptu tends to form one-dimensional structures 1-3, while trans-bptu is easier to construct higher dimensional structures 4-5. Secondly, the different transition metal atom M(ii) adopts diverse geometry in 1-5: Cu(ii) adopts square pyramidal geometry in 1, Zn(ii) employs a tetrahedron configuration in 2, and especially in 3-5, Cd(ii) displays a trigonal bipyramidal configuration, cis-cis-trans, cis and trans octahedral configuration. Finally, the different solvent system, the coordinated/free solvent, and the secondary building units (SBUs) affect the diversification of the structure. A variable temperature magnetic susceptibility investigation manifests that antiferromagnetic interactions exist between the neighbouring metal ions in 1. Furthermore, the luminescence properties of 2-5 are investigated in the solid state at room temperature, and 4 shows highly selective and sensitive sensing for Fe3+ ions.
