Abstract
The Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of β-keto esters with Cinchona-alkaloid-derived NNP ligands has been developed. β-Hydroxy esters of opposite configuration were afforded smoothly with 91.5-99.1 and 81.6-99.3% ee, respectively, using NNP L2 and L7 derived from quinidine and quinine separately even on the gram scale. The protocol for the preparation of β-hydroxy esters of opposite configuration by the simple conversion of ligand configurations offered further opportunities for the synthesis of biologically active molecules and drugs.

Abstract
AbstractTryptanthrin is a golden-yellow, naturally occurring alkaloid that can be obtained from multiple sources and through different synthetic methodologies. This tetracyclic compound displays several relevant biological activities. The potential of this tetracyclic alkaloid has been widely explored, and several researchers have focused their attention on expanding the variety of tryptanthrin derivatives by using a range of synthetic strategies. In this short review, we aim to address recent developments in the synthesis of the tryptanthrin core, as well as the development of new strategies employed by synthetic organic chemists to obtain novel tryptanthrin derivatives with potential biological activity, using different tools from the chemists’ toolbox, such as photocatalysis, solvent-free approaches, and multicomponent reactions.

Abstract
Cu-bisoxazoline-catalyzed enantioselective decarboxylative aldol reaction of tryptanthrin with aryl-substituted β-keto acids is developed, providing a straightforward approach to deliver a series of phaitanthrin A analogues. Both enantiomers of the products can be obtained with good to high enantioselectivity in the presence of a single chiral ligand by simply changing the copper salts. Based on the X-ray crystallographic analysis of chiral Cu(II)-bisoxazoline complexes, the tentative stereochemical models are presented to account for the observed counteranion-induced switching in enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Enzyme stereoselectivity control is still a major challenge. To gain insight into the molecular basis of enzyme stereo-recognition and expand the source of antiPrelog carbonyl reductase toward β-ketoesters, rational enzyme design aiming at stereoselectivity inversion was performed. The designed variant Q139G switched the enzyme stereoselectivity toward β-ketoesters from Prelog to antiPrelog, providing corresponding alcohols in high enantiomeric purity (89.1-99.1 % ee). More importantly, the well-known trade-off between stereoselectivity and activity was not found. Q139G exhibited higher catalytic activity than the wildtype enzyme, the enhancement of the catalytic efficiency (kcat /Km ) varied from 1.1- to 27.1-fold. Interestingly, the mutant Q139G did not lead to reversed stereoselectivity toward aromatic ketones. Analysis of enzyme-substrate complexes showed that the structural flexibility of β-ketoesters and a newly formed cave together facilitated the formation of the antiPrelog-preferred conformation. In contrast, the relatively large and rigid structure of the aromatic ketones prevents them from forming the antiPrelog-preferred conformation.

Abstract
We described a Ni-bidentate oxazoline catalyzed highly enantio- and diastereoselective decarboxylative aldol reaction of 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid/2-oxochromane-3-carboxylic acid derivatives with different kinds of carbonyls. Under optimal reaction conditions, α-substituted β-hydroxy butyrolactones and dihydrocoumarins with an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter have been generated with high levels of functional-group compatibility. Furthermore, proficient transformations of products were also described, in which an aliphatic tertiary alcohol and a multi-substituted 1,4-diol were smoothly constructed through hydrogenation and ring-opening reaction, respectively.

Abstract
Decarboxylative addition reactions are well known as an effective approach to
C–C bonds formation due to the availability of starting reagents, ease of handling, and low
environmental impact. This approach clearly demonstrated its potential for the synthesis
of the variety of acyclic and heterocyclic compounds, including optically active ones. The
significant amount of articles devoted to this topic published in recent years proves the
importance of this approach in modern organic synthesis. In this review, the recent
achievements in decarboxylative addition to C=C, C=N, and C=O bonds have been summarized
and discussed over the last 6 years.
