Abstract
Circular dichroism (CD) based enantiomeric excess (ee) determination assays are optical alternatives to chromatographic ee determination in high-throughput screening (HTS) applications. However, the implementation of these assays requires calibration experiments using enantioenriched materials. We present a data-driven approach that circumvents the need for chiral resolution and calibration experiments for an octahedral Fe(II) complex (1) used for the ee determination of α-chiral primary amines. By computationally parameterizing the imine ligands formed in the assay conditions, a model of the circular dichroism (CD) response of the Fe(II) assembly was developed. Using this model, calibration curves were generated for four analytes and compared to experimentally generated curves. In a single-blind ee determination study, the ee values of unknown samples were determined within 9% mean absolute error, which rivals the error using experimentally generated calibration curves.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Trisubstituted Vicinal Diols through Copper(I)-Catalyzed Diastereoselective and Enantioselective Allylation of Ketones with Siloxypropadienes. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202402195.

Abstract
Chiral trisubstituted vicinal diols are a type of important organic compounds, serving as both common structure units in bioactive natural products and chiral auxiliaries in asymmetric synthesis. Herein, by using siloxypropadienes as the precursors of allyl copper(I) species, a copper(I)-catalyzed diastereoselective and enantioselective reductive allylation of ketones was achieved, providing both syn-diols and anti-diols in good to excellent enantioselectivity. DFT calculations show that cis-γ-siloxy-allyl copper species are generated favorably with either 1-TBSO-propadiene or 1-TIPSO-propadiene. Moreover, the steric difference of TBS group and TIPS group distinguishes the face selectivity of acetophenone, leading to syn-selectivity for 1-TBSO-propadiene and anti-selectivity for 1-TIPSO-propadiene. Easy transformations of the products were performed, demonstrating the synthetic utility of the present method. Moreover, one chiral diol prepared in the above transformations was used as a suitable organocatalyst for the catalytic asymmetric reductive self-coupling of aldimines generated in situ with B2(neo)2.

Abstract
Alcohols are abundant and attractive feedstock molecules for organic synthesis. Many methods for their functionalization require them to first be converted into a more activated derivative, while recent years have seen a vast increase in the number of complexity-building transformations that directly harness unprotected alcohols. This Review discusses how transition metal catalysis can be used toward this goal. These transformations are broadly classified into three categories. Deoxygenative functionalizations, representing derivatization of the C-O bond, enable the alcohol to act as a leaving group toward the formation of new C-C bonds. Etherifications, characterized by derivatization of the O-H bond, represent classical reactivity that has been modernized to include mild reaction conditions, diverse reaction partners, and high selectivities. Lastly, chain functionalization reactions are described, wherein the alcohol group acts as a mediator in formal C-H functionalization reactions of the alkyl backbone. Each of these three classes of transformation will be discussed in context of intermolecular arylation, alkylation, and related reactions, illustrating how catalysis can enable alcohols to be directly harnessed for organic synthesis.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of the purported structure of branched resin glycosides merremoside G and H2 is accomplished. A signature step is represented by the sequential transition-metal-catalyzed coupling of stable trisaccharide homoallylic alcohol and monosaccharide alkoxyallene to afford the pentasaccharide skeleton. This de novo strategy is conducted under mild conditions with no need of preactivation. In addition, it allows for efficient preparation of the target compounds in combination with late-stage functionalization.

Abstract
Organic compounds of biological importance often contain multiple stereogenic C-heteroatom functional groups (e.g. amines, alcohols, and ethers). As a result, synthetic methods to access such compounds in a reliable and stereoselective fashion are important. In this feature article, we present a strategy to enable the introduction of multiple C-heteroatom functional groups in a regiodivergent cross-coupling approach through the use of reductive coupling chemistry employing allenamides. Such processes allow for opportunities to access different heteroatom substitution patterns from the same starting materials.

Abstract
Privileged diphosphine ligands that chelate many transition metals to form stable chelation complexes are essential in a variety of catalytic processes. However, the exact identity of the catalytically active moieties remains ambiguous because the chelated metal catalysts may undergo rearrangement during catalysis to produce monophosphine-metal complexes, which are hard to isolate and evaluate the activities. By taking advantage of the isolation of two phosphorus atoms, we demonstrate here the successful construction of chiral monophosphine-Ir/Ru complexes of diphosphine ligands in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for enantioselective hydrogenation. By condensation of the tetraaldehyde of enantiopure MeO-BIPHEP and linear aromatic diamines, we prepare two homochiral two-dimensional COFs with ABC stacking, in which the two P atoms of each diphosphine are separated and fixed far apart. Post-synthetic metalations of the COFs thus afford the single-site Ir/Ru-monophosphine catalysts, in contrast to the homogeneous chelated analogues, that demonstrated excellent catalytic and recyclable performance in the asymmetric hydrogenation of quinolines and β-ketoesters, affording up to 99.9% enantiomeric excess. Owing to the fact that the porous catalyst is capable of adsorbing and concentrating hydrogen, the catalytic reactions are promoted under ambient/medium pressure, which are typically performed under high pressure for homogeneous catalysis. This work not only shows that monophosphine-metal complexes of diphosphines can be catalytically active centers for asymmetric hydrogenation reactions but also provides a new strategy to prepare new types of privileged phosphine-based heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
Hypervalent aryliodoumiums are intensively investigated as arylating agents. They are excellent surrogates to aryl halides, and moreover they exhibit better reactivity, which allows the corresponding arylation reactions to be performed under mild conditions. In the past decades, acyclic aryliodoniums are widely explored as arylation agents. However, the unmet need for acyclic aryliodoniums is the improvement of their notoriously low reaction economy because the coproduced aryl iodides during the arylation are often wasted. Cyclic aryliodoniums have their intrinsic advantage in terms of reaction economy, and they have started to receive considerable attention due to their valuable synthetic applications to initiate cascade reactions, which can enable the construction of complex structures, including polycycles with potential pharmaceutical and functional properties. Here, we are summarizing the recent advances made in the research field of cyclic aryliodoniums, including the nascent design of aryliodonium species and their synthetic applications. First, the general preparation of typical diphenyl iodoniums is described, followed by the construction of heterocyclic iodoniums and monoaryl iodoniums. Then, the initiated arylations coupled with subsequent domino reactions are summarized to construct polycycles. Meanwhile, the advances in cyclic aryliodoniums for building biaryls including axial atropisomers are discussed in a systematic manner. Finally, a very recent advance of cyclic aryliodoniums employed as halogen-bonding organocatalysts is described.

Abstract
Iodide-bound ruthenium-JOSIPHOS complexes catalyze the redox-neutral C-C coupling of primary alcohols with methylallene (1,2-butadiene) or 1,3-butadiene to form products of anti-crotylation with good to excellent levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Distinct from other methods, direct crotylation of primary alcohols in the presence of unprotected secondary alcohols is possible, enabling generation of spirastrellolide B (C9-C15) and leucascandrolide A (C9-C15) substructures in significantly fewer steps than previously possible.

Ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogen auto-transfer reactions for the direct enantioselective conversion of lower alcohols to higher alcohols are surveyed. These processes enable completely atom-efficient carbonyl addition from alcohol proelectrophiles in the absence of premetalated reagents or metallic reductants. Applications in target-oriented synthesis are highlighted, and a brief historical perspective on ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogen transfer processes is given.

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
Direct and diastereoselective synthesis of vicinal anti-sec,tert-diols has been achieved by zinc-mediated α-hydroxyallylation of aldehydes with cyclopropanols. The reaction features the action of the zinc-enolized homoenolate as a γ-oxyallyl nucleophile toward the carbonyl electrophile. The diastereoselectivity of the present reaction is ascribed to the strong preference for a chelated (Z)-configuration of the enolized homoenolate as well as the bicyclic chairlike transition state it forms with the aldehyde, where the aldehyde substituent prefers to occupy the pseudoaxial position.

Glycals and their [2,3]-dehydrosugar derivatives have commonly been used in synthetic chemistry as electrophiles. Here we report a Pd-catalyzed polar inversion (umpolung) of this reaction, where the glycals and isomers can be used as nucleophiles. The reaction showed high regio- and stereoselectivity in the presence of numerous aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. The synthetic utility of this reaction was demonstrated by the short synthesis of the tetrahydropyran fragment of the anticancer natural product mucocin.

Abstract
Crystallographic characterization of RuX(CO)(η3-C3H5)(JOSIPHOS), where X = Cl, Br, or I, reveals a halide-dependent diastereomeric preference that defines metal-centered stereogenicity and, therefrom, the enantioselectivity of C-C coupling in ruthenium-catalyzed anti-diastereo- and enantioselective C-C couplings of primary alcohols with 1-aryl-1-propynes to form products of carbonyl anti-(α-aryl)allylation. Computational studies reveal that a non-classical hydrogen bond between iodide and the aldehyde formyl CH bond stabilizes the favored transition state for carbonyl addition. An improved catalytic system enabling previously unattainable transformations was developed that employs an iodide-containing precatalyst, RuI(CO)3(η3-C3H5), in combination with trifluoroethanol, as illustrated by the first enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed C-C couplings of ethanol to form higher alcohols.

Abstract
The Pd-catalyzed asymmetric addition reaction of β-keto acids to heteroatom-substituted allene is reported. This reaction generates β-substituted ketones in an asymmetric manner through a branch-selective decarboxylative allylation pathway. The reaction accommodates various alkoxyallenes as well as amidoallenes.

Abstract
The use of allenes and 1,3-dienes as chiral allylmetal pronucleophiles in intermolecular catalytic enantioselective reductive additions to aldehydes, ketones, imines, carbon dioxide and other C=X electrophiles is exhaustively catalogued together with redox-neutral hydrogen auto-transfer processes. Coverage is limited to processes that result in both C-H and C-C bond formation. The use of alkynes as latent allylmetal pronucleophiles and multicomponent C=X allylations involving allenes and dienes is not covered. As illustrated in this review, the ability of allenes and 1,3-dienes to serve as tractable non-metallic pronucleophiles has evoked many useful transformations that have no counterpart in traditional allylmetal chemistry.

Abstract
![]()
Nickel catalysis
allied with cyclodiphosphazane or VAPOL-derived
phosphoramidite ligands provides selective access to monoprotected
vicinal diols by reductive coupling of dienol ethers and aldehydes.
The observed regioselectivity is unprecedented, in that the diene
reacts at the least nucleophilic and most hindered C atom that is
attached to the oxygen substituent rather than at the terminal position.
Notably, both syn and anti diastereomers
of the products can be accessed depending on the configuration of
the diene partner with usually excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
