Abstract
The Ni-catalyzed enantioselective addition reaction of aryl halides to aldehydes was studied with cyanobis(oxazoline) as chiral ligands and Mn as reductant. Aryl and heteroaryl bromides reacted with phenyl aldehyde at room temperature to produce dibenzyl alcohols in 16-99 % yields with 53-92 % ees. Moreover, the coupling of phenyl chloride with a variety of aryl, heteroaryl and alkyl aldehydes was demonstrated in the presence of cyanobis(oxazoline)/Ni(II) at 60 °C in generally high yields with moderate enantioselectivities.

Abstract
The difluoromethyl group (CF2H) serves as an essential bioisostere in drug discovery campaigns according to Lipinski's Rule of 5 due to its advantageous combination of lipophilicity and hydrogen bonding ability, thereby improving the ADME properties. However, despite the high prevalence and importance of vicinal hydrogen bond donors in pharmaceutical agents, a general synthetic method for doubly difluoromethylated compounds in the vicinal position is absent. Here we describe a copper-electrocatalyzed strategy that enables the vicinal bis(difluoromethylation) of alkenes. By leveraging electrochemistry to oxidize Zn(CF2H)2(DMPU)2-a conventionally utilized anionic transmetalating source, we paved a way to utilize it as a CF2H radical source to deliver the CF2H group in the terminal position of alkenes. Mechanistic studies revealed that the interception of the resultant secondary radical by a copper catalyst and subsequent reductive elimination is facilitated by invoking the Cu(III) intermediate, enabling the second installation of the CF2H group in the internal position. The utility of this electrocatalytic 1,2-bis(difluoromethylation) strategy has been highlighted through the late-stage bioisosteric replacement of pharmaceutical agents such as sotalol and dipivefrine.

Abstract
An efficient method for the first ene-reaction of 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ones with allyltrimethylsilane has been developed for the first time. The reaction proceeded under the catalysis of Pd(OAc)2 and chiral phosphoric ligand L11 in the presence of Cu(CF3COO)2·XH2O, PivOH, and 5 Å molecular sieves in DMSO at 60 °C. The present methodology can avoid the impact of amine products generated by the reaction on the catalyst, and at the same time, the high catalytic activity of classical palladium catalysts still has catalytic ability for low electrophilic keto-imines. The desired products were furnished in excellent yields with good enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The effect of the presence of fluorous tags in bisoxazoline ligands on the stereoselectivity of the cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric Henry reaction was investigated. In contrast to the stereoselectivity obtained with conventional nonfluorous ligands, using bisoxazoline bidentate ligands featuring two fluorous tags in adjacent positions on the aromatic ring yielded a reversed stereoselectivity. The stereoselectivity also reversed when the fluorous tags were replaced with alkyl chains of equivalent length, albeit to a considerably lesser degree, highlighting the effect of the fluorous tags.

Abstract
A novel chiral oxazoline copper(II)-based complex {[Cu(C13H14NO3S)2]}2 (Cu-A) was synthesized by an in situ reaction using L-methioninol, 4-hydroxyisophthalaldehyde, sodium hydroxide and copper(II) nitrate trihydrate as reactants. Its crystal structure was characterized. In vitro, Cu-A was superior to cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (DDP) in cytotoxicity and angiogenesis inhibition. Cu-A significantly induced apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), showing significant anti-ovarian cancer and anti-angiogenesis effects. Notably, Cu-A significantly inhibits the growth of ovarian cancer in nude mice xenografted with SKOV3 cells, and it is less renal toxic than DDP. The molecular mechanism of anti-ovarian cancer and anti-angiogenesis is possibly that it down-regulates the expression of the proteins ERK1/2, AKT, FAK, and VEGFR2 and their phosphorylated proteins p-ERK1/2, p-AKT, p-FAK, and p-VEGFR2 in the VEGF/VEGFR2 signal transduction pathway to inhibit SKOV3 cell and HUVEC proliferation, induce apoptosis, suppress migration and metastasis, and inhibit angiogenesis. What's more, Cu-A significantly inhibits ovarian tumor growth in vivo by inhibiting tumor cells from inducing vascular endothelial cells to form their own vasculature and by inhibiting the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of the pro-apoptotic proteins Caspase-9 and Bax to induce apoptosis of tumor cells.

Abstract
A bimetallic tandem catalysis-enabled enantioselective cycloisomerization/carbonyl-ene reaction was developed. The reaction proceeded well with a broad range of N-propargylamides and acylsilanes, affording the target chiral 5-oxazoylmethyl α-silyl alcohols in up to 95% yield and 99% ee under mild conditions. Importantly, this facile protocol was available for the late-stage modification of several bioactive molecules. Based on the mechanistic study and control experiments, a possible catalytic cycle and transition state are proposed to elucidate the reaction process and enantioinduction.

Abstract
Alkene aminooxygenation and dioxygenation reactions that result in carbonyl products are uncommon, and protocols that control absolute stereochemistry are rare. We report herein catalytic enantioselective alkene aminooxygenation and dioxygenation that directly provide enantioenriched 2-formyl saturated heterocycles under aerobic conditions. Cyclization of substituted 4-pentenylsulfonamides, catalyzed by readily available chiral copper complexes and employing molecular oxygen as both oxygen source and stoichiometric oxidant, directly provides chiral 2-formyl pyrrolidines efficiently. Reductive or oxidative workup of these aldehydes provides their respective amino alcohols or amino acids (unnatural prolines). Enantioselective synthesis of an indoline and isoquinolines is also demonstrated. Concurrently, cyclization of various alkenols under similar conditions provides 2-formyl tetrahydrofurans, phthalans, isochromans, and morpholines. The nature of the copper ligands, the concentration of molecular oxygen, and the reaction temperature all impact the product distribution. Chiral nitrogen and oxygen heterocycles are common components of bioactive small molecules, and these enabling technologies provide access to saturated heterocycles functionalized with ready-to-use carbonyl electrophiles.

Abstract
The selective hydrolysis of the extremely stable phosphoester, peptide and ester bonds of molecules by bio-inspired metal-based catalysts (metallohydrolases) is required in a wide range of biological, biotechnological and industrial applications. Despite the impressive advances made in the field, the ultimate goal of designing efficient enzyme mimics for these reactions is still elusive. Its realization will require a deeper understanding of the diverse chemical factors that influence the activities of both natural and synthetic catalysts. They include catalyst-substrate complexation, non-covalent interactions and the electronic nature of the metal ion, ligand environment and nucleophile. Based on our computational studies, their roles are discussed for several mono- and binuclear metallohydrolases and their synthetic analogues. Hydrolysis by natural metallohydrolases is found to be promoted by a ligand environment with low basicity, a metal bound water and a heterobinuclear metal center (in binuclear enzymes). Additionally, peptide and phosphoester hydrolysis is dominated by two competing effects, i.e. nucleophilicity and Lewis acid activation, respectively. In synthetic analogues, hydrolysis is facilitated by the inclusion of a second metal center, hydrophobic effects, a biological metal (Zn, Cu and Co) and a terminal hydroxyl nucleophile. Due to the absence of the protein environment, hydrolysis by these small molecules is exclusively influenced by nucleophile activation. The results gleaned from these studies will enhance the understanding of fundamental principles of multiple hydrolytic reactions. They will also advance the development of computational methods as a predictive tool to design more efficient catalysts for hydrolysis, Diels-Alder reaction, Michael addition, epoxide opening and aldol condensation.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization is an important method in organic synthesis, but the development of methods that are lower cost and have a less environmental impact is desirable. Here, a Cu-catalyzed asymmetric C(sp2)-H arylation is reported. With diaryliodonium salts as arylating reagents, a range of ortho-arylated P-chiral phosphonic diamides were obtained in moderate to excellent yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee). Meanwhile, enantioselective C-3 arylation of diarylphosphine oxide indoles was also realized under similar conditions to construct axial chirality.

Abstract
Recent decades have witnessed a resurgence of the study of copper-catalyzed organic reactions. As the surrogate of noble metal catalysts, copper salts have been shown to exhibit remarkable versatility in activating various C-H bonds enabling the construction of diverse carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Advantageously, copper salts are also naturally abundant, inexpensive, and less toxic in comparison to precious metals. Despite significant developments in synthesis, the mechanism of copper catalysis remains elusive. Hypothetical pathways such as the two-electron Cu(III)/Cu(I) and Cu(II)/Cu(0) catalytic cycles and the one-electron Cu(II)/Cu(I) catalytic cycle have been invoked to diagram C-H bond transformations because of the formidable challenges to isolate and characterize transient high valent organocopper intermediates. In fact, organocopper chemistry has been dominated for a long time by the acknowledged nucleophilic organocopper(I) compounds. Since the beginning of the new millennium, we have been systematically studying the supramolecular chemistry of heteracalix[n]aromatics. Owing to the ease of their synthesis and selective functionalizations, self-tunable conformation and cavity structures resulting from the interplay of heteroatoms with aromatic subunits, and outstanding properties in molecular recognition and self-assembly, heteracalix[n]aromatics have become a class of privileged synthetic macrocyclic hosts. Our journey to the chemistry of high valent organocopper compounds started with a serendipitous discovery of the facile formation of a stable organocopper compound, which contains astonishingly a Ph-Cu(III) σ-bond under very mild aerobic conditions. When we examined routinely the effect of the macrocyclic structures on noncovalent complexation properties, titration of tetraazacalix[1]arene[3]pyridine with Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O resulted in the precipitation of dark-purple crystals of phenylcopper(III) diperchlorate. Our curiosity about the transformation of an arene C-H bond into an Ar-Cu(III) bond prompted us to conduct an in-depth investigation of the reaction of macrocyclic arenes with copper(II) salts, leading to the isolation of arylcopper(II) compounds which are unprecedented and the missing link in organocopper chemistry. With structurally well-defined organometallics in hand, we have explored extensively the reactivities of both arylcopper(II) and arylcopper(III) compounds, demonstrating their versatility and uniqueness in chemical synthesis. Novel and fascinating arene C-H transformations under copper catalysis have been developed. Using acquired high valent arylcopper compounds as molecular probes, and employing the functionalizations of tetraazacalix[1]arene[3]pyridines as model reactions, we have revealed the diverse mechanisms of copper-promoted arene C-H bond reactions. Elusive reaction pathways of some copper-catalyzed C-X bond activations have also been unraveled. In the meantime, we have also witnessed pleasingly the rapid development of field with the advent of new high valent organocopper compounds. Without any doubt, studies of the synthesis, reactivity, and catalysis of high valent organocopper compounds have been reshaping the field of organocopper chemistry. This Account summarizes our endeavors to explore the chemistry of structurally well-defined arylcopper(II) and arylcopper(III) compounds and the mechanisms of copper-catalyzed arene C-H and C-X bond transformations. We hope this Account will inspire chemists to study thoroughly the fundamentals and the cutting-edge catalysis of high valent organocopper compounds advancing and redefining the discipline of organocopper chemistry.

Abstract
Effect of a range of t-butyl perbenzoates bearing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substitutions on the phenyl ring and HZSM-5 as a porous additive at 0 °C in enantioselective allylic C-H bond oxidation of cyclic and acyclic olefins in the presence of Cu (I)-(S,aS,S) complexes of biphenyl bisoxazoline ligands, produced easily through the chelation-induced process, were investigated. The enantioenriched allylic esters were obtained in reasonable times with excellent enantioselectivities and yields using electron-withdrawing substituted peresters in the presence of Cu (I)-(S,aS,S)-1a complex, containing phenyl groups at the stereogenic centers of the oxazoline moieties. To reach a better insight on geometry, chemical activity, enantioselectivity, and thermodynamic stability of the Cu (I)-BOX complexes, DFT calculations with B3LYP-D3/6-31G (d, p) level of theory were applied to them. Moreover, NBO analysis was used to illustrate interactions between orbitals.

Abstract
The selective reductive coupling of vinyl heteroarenes with aldehydes and ketones represents a versatile approach for the rapid construction of enantiomerically enriched secondary and tertiary alcohols, respectively. Herein, we demonstrate a CuH-catalyzed regiodivergent coupling of vinyl heteroarenes with carbonyl-containing electrophiles, in which the selectivity is controlled by the ancillary ligand. This approach leverages an in situ generated benzyl- or dearomatized allyl-Cu intermediate, yielding either the dearomatized or exocyclic addition products, respectively. The method exhibits excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity and tolerates a range of common functional groups and heterocycles. The dearomative pathway allows direct access to a variety of functionalized saturated heterocyclic structures. The reaction mechanism was probed using a combination of experimental and computational approach. Density functional theory studies suggest that the ligand-controlled regioselectivity results from the C-H/π interaction and steric repulsion in transition states, leading to the major and minor regioisomers, respectively. Hydrocupration of vinyl heteroarene pronucleophile is the enantiodetermining step, whereas the diastereoselectivity is enforced by steric interactions between the benzylic or allyl-Cu intermediate and carbonyl-containing substrates in a six-membered cyclic transition state.

Abstract
This review article discusses historical and contemporary research studies of asymmetric allylic oxidation of olefins using homogeneous and heterogeneous copper complexes of various kinds of oxazoline-based ligands, until the end of 2021. It is revealed that this strategy is a powerful method to form a new stereogenic center bearing an oxygen substituent adjacent to an unchanged C=C bond. Enantioselectivities as well as chemical yields, and also the reactivity, are strongly dependent on the type of substrate, oxidant, the copper salt and its oxidation state, ligand structure, temperature, nature of the solvent, and additives such as phenylhydrazine and porous materials.

Abstract
In intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition reactions, the two tethered olefins can approach each other in a straight or in a crossed fashion. Despite the fact that the latter reaction mode leads to intriguing, otherwise inaccessible bridged skeletons, there has so far not been any enantioselective variants thereof. This study concerned the crossed [2+2]-photocycloaddition of 2-(alkenyloxy)cyclohex-2-enones to bridged cyclobutanes. It was found that the reaction could be performed with high enantioselectivity (80-94% ee) under visible light conditions when employing a chiral rhodium Lewis acid as a catalyst (2 mol%).

Abstract
A metal-free, biomimetic catalytic protocol for the cyclization of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amides to the corresponding 2-oxazolines (4,5-dihydrooxazoles), promoted by the 1,3,5,2,4,6-triazatriphosphorine (TAP)-derived organocatalyst tris(o-phenylenedioxy)cyclotriphosphazene (TAP-1) has been developed. This approach requires less precatalyst compared to the reported relevant systems, with respect to the phosphorus atom (the maximum turnover number (TON) ∼ 30), and exhibits a broader substrate scope and higher functional-group tolerance, providing the functionalized 2-oxazolines with retention of the configuration at the C(4) stereogenic center of the 2-oxazolines. Widely accessible β-amino alcohols can be used in this approach, and the cyclization of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amides provides the desired 2-oxazolines in up to 99% yield. The mechanism of the reaction was studied by monitoring the reaction using spectral and analytical methods, whereby an 18O-labeling experiment furnished valuable insights. The initial step involves a stoichiometric reaction between the substrate and TAP-1, which leads to the in situ generation of the catalyst, a catechol cyclic phosphate, as well as to a pyrocatechol phosphate and two possible active intermediates. The dehydrative cyclization was also successfully conducted on the gram scale.

Abstract
This report investigates homoleptic iron(II) complexes of thiazolinyl analogues of chiral PyBox tridentate ligands: 2,6-bis(4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)pyridine (L1Ph), 2,6-bis(4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)pyridine (L1iPr), and 2,6-bis(4-tert-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)pyridine (L1t-Bu). Crystallographic data imply the larger and more flexible thiazolinyl rings reduce steric clashes between the R substituents in homochiral [Fe((R)-L1R)2]2+ or [Fe((S)-L1R)2]2+ (R = Ph, iPr, or t-Bu), compared to their PyBox (L2R) analogues. Conversely, the larger heterocyclic S atoms are in close contact with the R substituents in heterochiral [Fe((R)-L1Ph)((S)-L1Ph)]2+, giving it a more sterically hindered ligand environment than that in [Fe((R)-L2Ph)((S)-L2Ph)]2+ (L2Ph = 2,6-bis(4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)pyridine). Preformed [Fe((R)-L1Ph)((S)-L1Ph)]2+ and [Fe((R)-L1iPr)((S)-L1iPr)]2+ do not racemize by ligand redistribution in CD3CN solution, but homochiral [Fe(L1iPr)2]2+ and [Fe(L1t-Bu)2]2+ both undergo partial ligand displacement in that solvent. Homochiral [Fe(L1Ph)2]2+ and [Fe(L1iPr)2]2+ exhibit spin-crossover equilibria in CD3CN, centered at 344 ± 6 K and 277 ± 1 K respectively, while their heterochiral congeners are essentially low-spin within the liquid range of the solvent. These data imply that the diastereomers of [Fe(L1Ph)2]2+ and [Fe(L1iPr)2]2+ show a greater difference in their spin-state behaviors than was previous found for [Fe(L2Ph)2]2+. Gas-phase DFT calculations (B86PW91/def2-SVP) of the [Fe(L1R)2]2+ and [Fe(L2R)2]2+ complexes reproduce most of the observed trends, but they overstabilize the high-spin state of SCO-active [Fe(L1iPr)2]2+ by ca. 1.5 kcal mol-1. This might reflect the influence of intramolecular dispersion interactions on the spin states of these compounds. Attempts to model this with the dispersion-corrected functionals B97-D2 or PBE-D3 were less successful than our original protocol, confirming that the spin states of sterically hindered molecules are a challenging computational problem.

Abstract
Asymmetric catalysis holds a prominent position among the important developments in chemistry during the 20th century. This was acknowledged by the 2001 Nobel Prize in chemistry awarded to Knowles, Noyori, and Sharpless for their development of chiral metal catalysts for organic transformations. The key feature of the catalysts was the crucial role of the chiral ligand and the nature of the metal ions, which promoted the catalytic conversions of the substrates via direct coordination. Subsequently the development of asymmetric organic catalysis opened new avenues to the synthesis of enantiopure compounds, avoiding any use of metal ions. Recently, an alternative approach to asymmetric catalysis emerged that relied on the catalytic functions of the ligands themselves boosted by coordination to metal ions. In other words, in these hybrid chiral catalysts the substrates are activated not by the metal ions but by the ligands. The activation and enantioselective control occurred via well-orchestrated and custom-tailored non-covalent interactions of the substrates with the ligand sphere of chiral metal complexes. In these metal-templated catalysts, the metal served either as a template (a purely structural role), or it constituted the exclusive source of chirality (metal-centred chirality due to the spatial arrangement of achiral or chiral bi-/tridentate ligands around an octahedral metal centre), and/or it increased the Brønsted acidity of the ligands. Although the field is still in its infancy, it represents an inspiring combination of both metal and organic catalysis and holds major unexplored potential to push the frontiers of asymmetric catalysis. Here we present an overview of this emerging field discussing the principles, applications and perspectives on the catalytic use of chiral metal complexes that operate as "organocatalysts in disguise". It has been demonstrated that these chiral metal complexes are efficient and provide high stereoselective control in asymmetric hydrogen bonding catalysis, phase-transfer catalysis, Brønsted acid/base catalysis, enamine catalysis, nucleophilic catalysis, and photocatalysis as well as bifunctional catalysis. Also, many of the catalysts have been identified as highly effective catalysts at remarkably low catalyst loadings. These hybrid systems offer many opportunities in the synthesis of chiral compounds and represent promising alternatives to metal-based and organocatalytic asymmetric transformations.

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
![]()
Many molecular machines
are built from modular components with
well-defined motile capabilities, such as axles and wheels. Hinges
are particularly useful, as they provide the minimum flexibility needed
for a simple and pronounced conformational change. Compounds with
multiple stable conformers are common, but molecular hinges almost
exclusively operate via dihedral rotations rather than truly hinge-like
clamping mechanisms. An ideal molecular hinge would better reproduce
the behavior of hinged devices, such as gates and tweezers, while
remaining soluble, scalable, and synthetically versatile. Herein,
we describe two isomeric macrocycles with clamp-like open and closed
geometries, which crystallize as separate polymorphs but interconvert
freely in solution. An unusual one-pot addition cyclization reaction
was used to produce the macrocycles on a multigram scale from inexpensive
reagents, without supramolecular templating or high-dilution conditions.
Using mechanistic information from NMR kinetic studies and at-line
mass spectrometry, we developed a semicontinuous flow synthesis with
maximum conversions of 85–93% and over 80% selectivity for
a single isomer. The macrocycles feature voids that are sterically
protected from guests, including reactive species such as fluoride
ions, and could therefore serve as chemically inert hinges for adaptive
supramolecular receptors and flexible porous materials.

Abstract
Catalyst design in enantioselective catalysis has historically been driven by empiricism. In this endeavor, experimentalists attempt to qualitatively identify trends in structure that lead to a desired catalyst function. In this body of work, we lay the groundwork for an improved, alternative workflow that uses quantitative methods to inform decision making at every step of the process. At the outset, we define a library of synthetically accessible permutations of a catalyst scaffold with the philosophy that the library contains every potential catalyst we are willing to make. To represent these chiral molecules, we have developed general 3D representations, which can be calculated for tens of thousands of structures. This defines the total chemical space of a given catalyst scaffold; it is constructed on the basis of catalyst structure only without regard to a specific reaction or mechanism. As such, any algorithmic subset selection method, which is unsupervised (i.e., only considers catalyst structure), should provide an ideal initial screening set for any new reaction that can be catalyzed by that scaffold. Notably, because this design strategy, the same set of catalysts can be used for any reaction that can be catalyzed with that parent catalyst scaffold. These are tested experimentally, and statistical learning tools can be used to create a model relating catalyst structure to catalyst function. Further, this model can be used to predict the performance of each catalyst candidate in the greater database of virtual catalyst candidates. In this way, it is possible estimate the performance of tens of thousands of catalysts by experimentally testing a smaller subset. Using error assessment metrics, it is possible to understand the confidence in new predictions. An experimentalist using this tool can balance the predicted results (reward) with the prediction confidence (risk) when deciding which catalysts to synthesize next in an optimization campaign. These catalysts are synthesized and tested experimentally. At this stage, either the optimization is a success or the predicted values were incorrect and further optimization is required. In the case of the latter, the information can be fed back into the statistical learning model to refine the model, and this iterative process can be used to determine the optimal catalyst. In this body of work, we not only establish this workflow but quantitatively establish how best to execute each step. Herein, we evaluate several 3D molecular representations to determine how best to represent molecules. Several selection protocols are examined to best decide which set of molecules can be used to represent the library of interest. In addition, the number of reactions needed to make accurate, statistical learning models is evaluated. Taken together these components establish a tool ready to progress from the development stage to the utility stage. As such, current research endeavors focus on applying these tools to optimize new reactions.

Abstract
Multivariate linear regression analysis (MLR) is used to unify and correlate different categories of asymmetric Cu-bisoxazoline (BOX) catalysis. The versatility of Cu-BOX complexes has been leveraged for several types of enantioselective transformations including cyclopropanation, Diels-Alder cycloadditions and difunctionalization of alkenes. Statistical tools and extensive molecular featurization has guided the development of an inclusive linear regression model, providing a predictive platform and readily interpretable descriptors. Mechanism-specific categorization of curated datasets and parameterization of reaction components allows for simultaneous analysis of disparate organometallic intermediates such as carbenes and Lewis acid adducts, all unified by a common ligand scaffold and metal ion. Additionally, this workflow permitted the development of a complementary linear regression model correlating analogous BOX-catalyzed reactions employing Ni, Fe, Mg, and Pd complexes. Comparison of ligand parameters in each model reveals the relevant structural requirements necessary for high selectivity. Overall, this strategy highlights the utility of MLR analysis in exploring mechanistically driven correlations across a diverse chemical space in organometallic chemistry and presents an applicable workflow for related ligand classes.

Abstract
Conjugated ynones are easily accessible feedstock and the existence of an alkyne bond endows ynones with different attractive reactivities, thus making them unique substrates for catalytic asymmetric reactions. Their compatibility under organocatalytic, metal-catalyzed as well as cooperative catalytic conditions has resulted in numerous enantioselective transformations. Importantly, conjugated ynones can act as nucleophiles or electrophiles, and serve as easily accessed synthons for different cyclization pathways. This review summarizes the recent literature examples of the catalytic reactions of conjugated ynones and related compounds such as alkyne conjugated α-ketoesters, and classifies these reaction types alongside mechanistic insights whenever possible. We aim to trigger more intensive research in the future to render the asymmetric transformation of ynones as a common and reliable tool for asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract
A general procedure for the asymmetric synthesis of highly substituted 1,2-amino alcohols in high yield and diastereoselectivity is described that uses organometallic additions of a wide range of nucleophiles to tert-butylsulfinimines as the key step. The addition of organolithium reagents to these imines follows a modified Davis model. The diastereoselectivity for this reaction depends significantly on both the nucleophile and electrophile. These highly substituted 1,2-amino alcohols are used to synthesize stereochemically diverse and structurally novel, polysubstituted 2,2'-methylene(bisoxazoline) ligands in high yields.

Abstract
Synthetic channels with high ion selectivity are attractive drug targets for diseases involving ion dysregulation. Achieving selective transport of divalent ions is highly challenging due their high hydration energies. A small tripeptide amphiphilic scaffold installed with a pybox ligand selectively transports CuII ions across membranes. The peptide forms stable dimeric pores in the membrane and transports ions by a Cu2+ /H+ antiport mechanism. The ligand-induced excellent CuII selectivity as well as high membrane permeability of the peptide is exploited to promote cancer cell death. The peptide's ability to restrict mycobacterial growth serves as seeds to evolve antibacterial strategies centred on selectively modulating ion homeostasis in pathogens. This simple peptide can potentially function as a universal, yet versatile, scaffold wherein the ion selectivity can be precisely controlled by modifying the ligand at the C terminus.

Abstract
Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been widely used as (co)solvents in several catalytic processes modifying, in most of the cases, the catalyst activity and/or the selectivity for the studied reactions. However, there are just a few examples of their use in hydrogen bonding organocatalysis. In this paper, we show the positive effect of a set of imidazole-based ionic liquids ([bmim]BF4 and [hmim]PF6) in the enantioselective addition of formaldehyde tert-butylhydrazone to prochiral α-keto esters catalyzed by a sugar-based chiral thiourea. Reactions performed in the presence of low percentages of RTILs led to an increase of the catalyst activity, thereby making possible to work at lower temperatures. Thus, the chiral tert-butyl azomethyl tertiary alcohols could be obtained with moderate to good conversions and higher enantioselectivities for most of the studied substrates when using up to 30 vol% of [hmim]PF6 as a cosolvent in processes performed in toluene.

Abstract
A stereoselective construction of the methylcyclopentane core (3) of jatrophane diterpenoids peditithins B-H was achieved in 14 steps from commercially available d-(+)-ribono-1,4-lactone (9). The linear 5-ene-heptanal derived from 9 was cyclized to the five-membered ring by an intramolecular carbonyl ene reaction, and five continuous stereocenters on 3 were stereoselectively introduced via a successive substrate-controlled manner, involving diastereoselective 1,4-addition, MoOPH-induced hydroxylation, and stereospecific epoxidation.
