Abstract
Piano stool complexes have been studied over many years and found widespread applications in organic synthesis, catalysis, materials and drug development. We now report the first examples of quantitative chiroptical molecular recognition of chiral compounds through click-like η6-arene coordination with readily available half sandwich complexes. This conceptually new approach to chirality sensing is based on irreversible acetonitrile displacement of [Cp*Ru(CH3CN)3]PF6 by an aromatic target molecule, a process that is fast and complete within a few minutes at room temperature. The metal coordination coincides with characteristic circular dichroism inductions that can be easily correlated to the absolute configuration and enantiomeric ratio of the bound molecule. A relay assay that decouples the determination of the enantiomeric composition and of the total sample amount by a practical CD/UV measurement protocol was developed and successfully tested. The introduction of piano stool complexes to the chiroptical sensing realm is mechanistically unique and extends the scope of currently known methods with small-molecule probes that require the presence of amino, alcohol, carboxylate or other privileged functional groups for binding of the target compound. A broad application range including pharmaceutically relevant multifunctional molecules and the use in chromatography-free asymmetric reaction analysis are also demonstrated.

Abstract
In order to maximize the utilization of noble metals in catalysis, single atom of palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) were incorporated individually in the framework of porous ceria (CeO2) by using a one-step flash combustion method. Samples with different Pd and Pt loading (0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 wt%) were prepared and examined by using different analysis techniques such as XRD, ICP, N2 sorption measurements, SEM, HR-TEM, and XPS. The characterization data confirms the formation of zero-state single-atom Pt and Pd (with possible formation of Pd nanoparticles with a size less than 5 nm) incorporated onto the three-dimensional porous ceria structure. The catalytic activity of the synthesized materials was studied in the cyclohexene reduction to cyclohexane at 393 K and 3 atm of pure hydrogen (H2) gas as a model reaction. The obtained results demonstrated that the conversion percentage of cyclohexene is increasing with Pd or Pt loading. The best cyclohexene conversion, 21% and 29%, was achieved over the sample that contains 5 wt% of Pt and Pd, respectively. The collected catalytic data fit the zero-order reaction model, and the rate constant of each catalyst was determined. The catalytic experiments of the most-performed catalysts were repeated five times and the obtained loss in activity was insignificant.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric cyclopropanation reaction of alkenes with diazo compounds is a direct and powerful method to construct chiral cyclopropanes that are essential to drug discovery. However, diazo compounds are potentially explosive and often require hazardous reagents for their preparation. Here, we report on the use of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds as safe and readily available surrogates for diazo compounds in the direct catalytic asymmetric deoxygenative cyclopropanation reaction. Enabled by a class of simple and readily accessible chiral salen-Mo catalysts, the reaction proceeded with generally good enantioselectivities and yields toward a wide range of substrates (80 examples). Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that the proposed μ-oxo bridged dinuclear Mo(III)-species was the catalytically active species. This strategy not only provides a promising route for the synthesis of chiral cyclopropanes but also opens a new window for the potential applications of chiral salen-Mo complexes in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Heterocycles are particularly common moieties within marine natural products. Specifically, tetrahydrofuranyl rings are present in a variety of compounds which present complex structures and interesting biological activities. Focusing on terpenoids, a high number of tetrahydrofuran-containing metabolites have been isolated during the last decades. They show promising biological activities, making them potential leads for novel antibiotics, antikinetoplastid drugs, amoebicidal substances, or anticancer drugs. Thus, they have attracted the attention of the synthetics community and numerous approaches to their total syntheses have appeared. Here, we offer the reader an overview of marine-derived terpenoids and related compounds, their isolation, structure determination, and a special focus on their total syntheses and biological profiles.

Abstract
Disclosed here is the first geminal (gem-) hydroborative cyclization of enynes. Different from known hydroborative cyclizations, this process adds hydrogen and boron to the same position, leading to a new reaction mode. With [Cp*RuCl]4 as catalyst, a range of gem-hydroborated bicyclic products bearing a cyclopropane unit could be rapidly assembled from simple enyne substrates. Control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided important insights into the reaction mechanism. Notably, two major competing pathways may operate with substrate-dependence. 1,6-Enynes favor initial oxidative cyclometalation to form a ruthenacyclopentene intermediate prior to engaging hydroborane, while other enynes (e.g., 1,7-enynes) that lack strong propensity toward cyclization prefer initial alkyne gem-(H,B)-addition to form an α-boryl ruthenium carbene followed by intramolecular olefin cyclopropanation. This process also represents the first ruthenium-catalyzed enyne hydroborative cyclization.

Abstract
During an investigation into the fate of ruthenium precatalysts used for light‐driven alkyne gem‐hydrogenation reactions with formation of Grubbs‐type ruthenium catalysts, it was found that the reaction of [(IPr)(η6‐cymene)RuCl2] with H2 under UV‐irradiation affords an anionic dinuclear σ‐dihydrogen complex, which is thermally surprisingly robust. Not only are anionic σ‐complexes in general exceedingly rare, but the newly formed species seems to be the first example lacking any structural attributes able to counterbalance the negative charge and, in so doing, prevent oxidative insertion of the metal centers into the ligated H2 from occurring.

Abstract
![]()
A heteroleptic dirhodium
paddlewheel complex comprising three chiral
carboxylate ligands and one achiral acetamidate ligand has recently
been found to be uniquely effective in catalyzing the asymmetric cyclopropanation
of olefins with α-stannylated (silylated and germylated) α-diazoacetate
derivatives. A number of control experiments in combination with detailed
computational studies provide compelling evidence that an interligand
hydrogen bond between the −NH group of the amidate and the
ester carbonyl group of the reactive rhodium carbene intermediate
plays a quintessential role in the stereodetermining transition state.
The penalty for distorting this array outweighs steric arguments and
renders two of the four conceivable transitions states unviable. Based
on this mechanistic insight, the design of the parent catalyst is
revisited herein: placement of appropriate peripheral substituents
allows high levels of diastereocontrol to be imposed upon cyclopropanation,
which the original catalyst lacks. Because the new complexes allow
either trans- or cis-configured stannylated cyclopropanes to be made
selectively and in excellent optical purity, this transformation also
marks a rare case of diastereodivergent asymmetric catalysis. The
products are amenable to stereospecific cross coupling with aryl halides
or alkenyl triflates; these transformations appear to be the first
examples of the formation of stereogenic quaternary carbon centers
by the Stille reaction; carbonylative coupling is also achieved. Moreover,
tin/lithium exchange affords chiral lithium enolates, which can be
intercepted with a variety of electrophilic partners. The virtues
and inherent flexibility of this new methodology are illustrated by
an efficient synthesis of two salinilactones, extremely scarce bacterial
metabolites with signaling function involved in the self-regulatory
growth inhibition of the producing strain.

Abstract
![]()
gem-Hydrogenation of an internal alkyne with the
aid of [Cp*RuCl]4 as the precatalyst is a highly unorthodox
transformation, in which one C atom of the triple bond is transformed
into a methylene group, whereas the second C atom gets converted into
a ruthenium carbene. In the case of 1,3-enynes bearing a propargylic
steering substituent as the substrates, the reaction occurs regioselectively,
giving rise to vinyl carbene complexes that adopt interconverting
η1/η3-binding modes in solution;
a prototypical example of such a reactive intermediate was characterized
in detail by spectroscopic means. Although both forms are similarly
stable, only the η3-vinyl carbene proved kinetically
competent to insert into primary, secondary, or tertiary C–H
bonds on the steering group itself or another suitably placed ether,
acetal, orthoester, or (sulfon)amide substituent. The ensuing net
hydrogenative C–H insertion reaction is highly enabling in
that it gives ready access to spirocyclic as well as bridged ring
systems of immediate relevance as building blocks for medicinal chemistry.
Moreover, the reaction scales well and lends itself to the formation
of partly or fully deuterated isotopologues. Labeling experiments
in combination with PHIP NMR spectroscopy (PHIP = parahydrogen induced
polarization) confirmed that the reactions are indeed triggered by gem-hydrogenation, whereas kinetic data provided valuable
insights into the very nature of the turnover-limiting transition
state of the actual C–H insertion step.

Abstract
![]()
The marine natural
product scabrolide A was obtained by isomerization
of the vinylogous 1,4-diketone entity of nominal scabrolide B as the
purported pivot point of the biosynthesis of these polycyclic norcembranoids.
Despite the success of this maneuver, the latter compound itself turned
out not to be identical with the natural product of that name. The
key steps en route to the carbocyclic core of these targets were a
[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of an allylic sulfur ylide to forge
the overcrowded C12–C13 bond, an RCM reaction to close the
congested central six-membered ring, and a hydroxy-directed epoxidation/epoxide
opening/isomerization sequence to set the “umpoled”
1,4-dicarbonyl motif and the correct angular configuration at C12.

Abstract
gem‐Hydrogenation of propargyl alcohol derivatives with [CpXRu(MeCN)3]PF6 (CpX=substituted cyclopentadienyl) as catalysts affords cationic pianostool ruthenium carbene complexes which are so electrophilic that they attack a tethered olefin to furnish cyclopentene products; cyclopropanation or metathesis do not compete with this novel transformation. If the transient carbenes carry appropriate propargylic substituents, however, they engage in ([2,3]‐sigmatropic) rearrangements to give enol esters (carbonates, carbamates, sulfonates) or alkenyl halides. Both pathways are unprecedented in the vast hydrogenation literature. The proposed mechanistic scenarios are in line with labeling experiments and spectroscopic data; most notably, PHIP NMR spectroscopy (PHIP=parahydrogen induced polarization) provides compelling evidence that the reactions are indeed triggered by highly unorthodox gem‐hydrogenation events.

Abstract
![]()
For numerous enabling features and strategic virtues, contemporary
alkyne metathesis is increasingly recognized as a formidable synthetic
tool. Central to this development was the remarkable evolution of
the catalysts during the past decades. Molybdenum alkylidynes carrying
(tripodal) silanolate ligands currently set the standards; their functional
group compatibility is exceptional, even though they comprise an early
transition metal in its highest oxidation state. Their performance
is manifested in case studies in the realm of dynamic covalent chemistry,
advanced applications to solid-phase synthesis, a revival of transannular
reactions, and the assembly of complex target molecules at sites,
which one may not intuitively trace back to an acetylenic ancestor.
In parallel with these innovations in material science and organic
synthesis, new insights into the mode of action of the most advanced
catalysts were gained by computational means and the use of unconventional
analytical tools such as 95Mo and 183W NMR spectroscopy.
The remaining shortcomings, gaps, and desiderata in the field are
also critically assessed.

Abstract
Alkynyl‐B(aam) (aam=anthranilamidato) derivatives are readily available bench‐stable compounds that undergo remarkably selective reactions with Bu3SnH in the presence of [Cp*RuCl]4 as the catalyst. The addition follows a stereochemically unorthodox trans‐selective course; in terms of regioselectivity, the Bu3Sn‐ unit is delivered with high fidelity to the C‐atom of the triple bond adjacent to the boracyclic head group (“alpha,trans‐addition”). This outcome is deemed to reflect a hydrogen bonding interaction between the protic −NH groups of the benzo‐1,3,2‐diazaborininone ring system and the polarized [Ru−Cl] bond in the loaded catalyst, which locks the substrate in place in a favorable orientation relative to the incoming reagent. The resulting isomerically (almost) pure gem‐dimetalated building blocks are amenable to numerous downstream functionalizations; most remarkable is the ability to subject the −B(aam) moiety to Suzuki‐Miyaura cross coupling without need for prior hydrolysis while keeping the adjacent Bu3Sn‐ group intact. Alternatively, the tin residue can be engaged in selective tin/halogen exchange without touching the boron substituent; the fact that the two ‐NH entities of −B(aam) do not protonate organozinc reagents and hence do not interfere with Negishi reactions of the alkenyl halides thus formed is another virtue of this so far underutilized boracycle. Overall, the ruthenium catalyzed trans‐hydrostannation of alkynyl‐B(aam) derivatives opens a practical gateway to isomerically pure trisubstituted alkenes of many different substitution patterns by sequential functionalization of the 1‐alkenyl‐1,1‐heterobimetallic adducts primarily formed.

Abstract
The 1,4-conjugate addition reaction between activated alkynes or acetylenic Michael acceptors and nucleophiles (i.e., the nucleophilic Michael reaction) is a historically useful organic transformation. Despite its general utility, the efficiency and outcomes can vary widely and are often closely dependent upon specific reaction conditions. Nevertheless, with improvements in reaction design, including catalyst development and an expansion of the substrate scope to feature more electrophilic alkynes, many examples now present with features that are congruent with Click chemistry. Although several nucleophilic species can participate in these conjugate additions, ubiquitous nucleophiles such as thiols, amines, and alcohols are commonly employed and, consequently, among the most well developed. For many years, these conjugate additions were largely relegated to organic chemistry, but in the last few decades their use has expanded into other spheres such as bioorganic chemistry and polymer chemistry. Within these fields, they have been particularly useful for bioconjugation reactions and step-growth polymerizations, respectively, due to their excellent efficiency, orthogonality, and ambient reactivity. The reaction is expected to feature in increasingly divergent application settings as it continues to emerge as a Click reaction.

Abstract
The transition-metal-catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes by the decomposition of diazo compounds is a powerful and straightforward strategy to produce cyclopropanes, but is tempered by the potentially explosive nature of diazo substrates. Herein we report the Mo-catalyzed regiospecific deoxygenative cyclopropanation of readily available and bench-stable 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, in which one of the two carbonyl groups acts as a carbene equivalent upon deoxygenation and engages in the subsequent cyclopropanation process. The use of a commercially available Mo catalyst afforded an array of valuable cyclopropanes with exclusive regioselectivity in up to 90 % yield. The synthetic utility of this method was further demonstrated by gram-scale syntheses, late-stage functionalization, and the cyclopropanation of a simple monocarbonyl compound. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that phosphine (or silane) acts as both a mild reductant and a good oxygen acceptor that efficiently regenerates the catalytically active Mo catalyst through reduction of the Mo-oxo complexes.

Abstract
A metal-free intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddtion has been achieved by treating benzene-linked propynol-ynes with AcOH/H2O in a one-pot manner. The reaction provides greener, 100% atom-economic, highly regioselective, and more practical access to functionalized naphtho[1,2-c]furan-5-ones with valuable and versatile applications. The regioselective α-deuteration of naphtho[1,2-c]furan-5-ones has been also presented with excellent deuterium incorporation and chemical yields. Moreover, the fluorescent properties of naphtho[1,2-c]furan-5-one products have been investigated in solution.

Abstract
The newly discovered light-driven gem hydrogenation of alkynes opens an unconventional yet efficient entry into five-coordinate Grubbs-type ruthenium carbene complexes with cis-disposed chloride ligands. Representatives of this class featuring a chelate substructure formed by an iodo-substituted benzylidene unit react with (substituted) 2-isopropoxystyrene to give prototypical "second-generation" Grubbs-Hoveyda complexes for olefin metathesis. The new approach to this venerable catalyst family is safe and versatile as it uses a triple bond rather than phenyldiazomethane as the ultimate carbene source and does not require any sacrificial phosphines.

Abstract
Proof-of-concept is provided that a large estate of 16-membered macrolide antibiotics can be reached by a "unified" approach. The key building block was formed on scale by an asymmetric vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction; its alkene terminus was then converted either into the corresponding methyl ketone by Wacker oxidation or into a chain-extended aldehyde by catalyst-controlled branch-selective asymmetric hydroformylation. These transformations ultimately opened access to two structurally distinct series of macrolide targets. Notable late-stage maneuvers comprise a rare example of a ruthenium-catalyzed redox isomerization of an 1,3-enyne-5-ol into a 1,3-diene-5-one derivative, as well as the elaboration of a tertiary propargylic alcohol into an acyloin by trans-hydrostannation/Chan-Lam-type coupling. Moreover, this case study illustrates the underutilized possibility of forging complex macrolactone rings by transesterification under essentially neutral conditions.

Abstract
Of the more than 100 casbane diterpenes known to date, only the eponymous parent hydrocarbon casbene itself has ever been targeted by chemical synthesis. Outlined herein is a conceptually new approach that brings not a single but a variety of casbane derivatives into reach, especially the more highly oxygenated and arguably more relevant members of this family. The key design elements are a catalyst-controlled intramolecular cyclopropanation with or without subsequent equilibration, chain extension of the resulting stereoisomeric cyclopropane building blocks by chemoselective hydroboration/cross-coupling, and the efficient closure of the strained macrobicyclic framework by ring-closing alkyne metathesis. A hydroxy-directed catalytic trans-hydrostannation allows for late-stage diversity. These virtues are manifested in the concise total syntheses of depressin, yuexiandajisu A, and ent-pekinenin C. The last compound turned out to be identical to euphorhylonal A, the structure of which had clearly been misassigned.
