Abstract
Olefin metathesis has become an efficient tool in synthetic organic chemistry to build carbon-carbon bonds, thanks to the development of Grubbs- and Schrock-type catalysts. Olefin coordination, a key and often rate-determining elementary step for d0 Schrock-type catalysts, has been rarely explored due to the lack of accessible relevant molecular analogues. Herein, we present a fully characterized surrogate of this key olefin-coordination intermediate, namely, a cationic d0 tungsten oxo-methylidene complex bearing two N-heterocyclic carbene ligands─[WO(CH2)Cl(IMes)2](OTf) (1) (IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazole-2-ylidene, OTf-triflate counteranion), resulting in a trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) geometry, along with its neutral octahedral analogue [WO(CH2)Cl2(IMes)2] (2)─and an isostructural oxo-methylidyne derivative [WO(CH)Cl(IMes)2] (3). The analysis of their solid-state 13C and 183W MAS NMR signatures, along with computed 17O NMR parameters, helps to correlate their electronic structures with NMR patterns and evidences the importance of the competition among the three equatorial ligands in the TBP complexes. Anchored on experimentally obtained NMR parameters for 1, computational analysis of a series of olefin coordination intermediates highlights the interplay between σ- and π-donating ligands in modulating their stability and further paralleling their reactivity. NMR spectroscopy descriptors reveal the origin for the advantage of the dissymmetry in σ-donating abilities of ancillary ligands in Schrock-type catalysts: weak σ-donors avoid the orbital-competition with the oxo ligand upon formation of a TBP olefin-coordination intermediate, while stronger σ-donors compromise M≡O triple bonding and thus render olefin coordination step energy demanding.

Abstract
(Z)-alkenes are useful synthons but thermodynamically less stable than their (E)-isomers and typically more difficult to prepare. The synthesis of 1,4-hetero-bifunctionalized (Z)-alkenes is particularly challenging due to the inherent regio- and stereoselectivity issues. Herein we demonstrate a general, chemoselective and direct synthesis of (Z)-2-butene-1,4-diol monoesters. The protocol operates within a Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative acyloxylation regime involving vinyl ethylene carbonates (VECs) and various carboxylic acids as the reaction partners under mild and operationally attractive conditions. The newly developed process allows access to a structurally diverse pool of (Z)-2-butene-1,4-diol monoesters in good yields and with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. Various synthetic transformations of the obtained (Z)-2-butene-1,4-diol monoesters demonstrate how these synthons are of great use to rapidly diversify the portfolio of these formal desymmetrized (Z)-alkenes.

Abstract
Alkenes constitute an enabling motif in organic synthesis, as they can be functionalized to form highly substituted molecules. Z-alkenes are generally challenging to access due to the thermodynamic preference for the formation of E-alkenes compared to Z-alkenes. Dehydrogenation methodologies to selectively form Z-alkenes have not yet been reported. Herein, we report a Z-selective, propargylic dehydrogenation that provides 1,3-enynes through the invention of a Co-catalyzed oxidation system. Observation of a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) revealed that deprotonation of the propargylic position is the rate limiting step. Additionally, isomerization experiments were conducted and confirmed that the observed Z-selectivity is a kinetic effect. A proposed stereomechanistic model for the Z-selectivity is included.

Abstract
A detailed mechanistic study of the Z-selective allylic functionalization via thianthrenium salts is presented. Kinetic analyses, deuterium labeling experiments, and computational methods are used to rationalize the observed reactivity and selectivity. We find that the reaction proceeds via a rate-determining and stereodetermining allylic deprotonation of an alkenylthianthrenium species. The Z-configuration of the resultant allylic ylide is translated into the Z-allylic amine product through a sequence of subsequent fast and irreversible steps: protonation to form a Z-allylic thianthrenium electrophile and then regioselective substitution by the nucleophile. In the stereodetermining deprotonation step, computational studies identified a series of stabilizing nonbonding interactions in the Z-alkene-forming transition state that contribute to the stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Alkenes are an important class of organic molecules found among synthetic intermediates and bioactive compounds. They are commonly synthesized through stoichiometric Wittig-type olefination of carbonyls and imines, using ylides or their equivalents. Despite the importance of Wittig-type olefination reactions, their catalytic variants remain underdeveloped. We explored the use of transition metal catalysis to form ylide equivalents from readily available starting materials. Our investigation led to a new copper-catalyzed olefination of imines with alkenyl boronate esters as coupling partners. We identified a heterobimetallic complex, obtained by hydrocupration of the alkenyl boronate esters, as the key catalytic intermediate that serves as an ylide equivalent. The high E-selectivity observed in the reaction is due to the stereoselective addition of this intermediate to an imine, followed by stereospecific anti-elimination.

Abstract
We developed a chemoselective metal-free access for the 1,2- and 2,3-semireduction of CF3-N-allenamides. The enamide functionality of CF3-substituted N-allenamides could be efficiently reduced by Et3SiH/BF3·OEt2 in total regioselectivity and good stereoselectivity, whereas DBU promoted the isomerization of the resulting allyl amide leading exclusively to the E-configurated enamide.

Abstract
Halichlorine and pinnaic acid are structurally related natural alkaloids isolated from different marine organisms. These two marine alkaloids bearing a 6-azaspiro[4.5]decane skeleton demonstrate a wide range of biological effects. It is this kind of unique structure and potentially valuable biological activity that have prompted strong synthetic interest, making it a research focus in recent years. Since the first total synthesis of halichlorine and pinnaic acid completed by Danishefsky's group, many groups have reported their outstanding synthesis methods especially the asymmetric synthesis strategies. This review summarizes the asymmetric synthesis strategies of halichlorine and pinnaic acid using a 6-azaspiro[4.5]decane skeleton as the key intermediate, which can provide some guidance for related work.

Abstract
A series of tunable CAAC-based ruthenium benzylidene complexes with increased lipophilicity derived from a ketone being a large-scale produced key substrate for a popular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-ibuprofen was obtained and tested in various olefin metathesis transformations. As a group, these catalysts exhibited higher activity than their known analogues containing a smaller and less lipophilic phenyl substituent on the α-carbon atom, but in individual reactions, the size of the N-aryl moiety was revealed as a decisive factor. For example, in the cross-metathesis of methyl oleate with ethylene (ethenolysis)-a reaction with growing industrial potential-the best results were obtained when the N-aryl contained an isopropyl or tert-butyl substituent in the ortho position. At the same time, in the RCM, CM, and self-CM transformations involving larger olefinic substrates, the catalysts with smaller aryl-bearing CAAC ligands, where methyl and ethyl groups occupy ortho, ortho' positions performed better. This offers a great deal of tunability and allows for selection of the best catalyst for a given reaction while keeping the general structure (and manufacturing method) of the ibuprofen-intermediate derived CAAC ligand the same.

Abstract
The enantioselective total synthesis of latanoprost, an antiglaucoma agent, has been accomplished with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities in a pot-economical manner using six reaction vessels. An enantioselective Krische allylation was conducted in the first pot. In the second pot, olefin metathesis, silyl protection, and hydrogenolysis proceeded efficiently. In the third pot, an organocatalyst-mediated Michael reaction proceeded with excellent diastereoselectivity. The fourth pot involved a substrate-controlled Mukaiyama intramolecular aldol reaction and elimination of HNO2 to afford a methylenecyclopentanone, also with excellent diastereoselectivity. The fifth pot involved a Michael reaction of vinyl cuprate. In the sixth pot, three reactions, a cis-selective olefin metathesis, diastereoselective reduction, and deprotection, afforded latanoprost. Nearly optically pure latanoprost was obtained, and the total yield was 24%.

Abstract
ConspectusIn this Account, we share the story of the development of catalytic olefin metathesis processes that efficiently deliver a wide range of acyclic and macrocyclic E- or Z-trisubstituted alkenes. The tale starts with us unveiling, in collaboration with Richard Schrock and his team, the blueprint in 2009 for the design of kinetically controlled Z-selective olefin metathesis reactions. This paved the way for the development of Mo-, W-, and Ru-based catalysts and strategies for synthesizing countless linear and macrocyclic Z-olefins. Six years later, in 2015, we found that abundant Z-alkene feedstocks, such as oleic acid, can be directly transformed to high-value and more difficult-to-access alkenes through a cross-metathesis reaction promoted by a Ru-catechothiolate complex that we had developed; the approach, later coined stereoretentive olefin metathesis, was extended to the synthesis of E-alkenes.It was all about disubstituted alkenes until when in 2017 we addressed the challenge of accessing stereodefined Z- and E-trisubstituted alkenes, key to medicine and materials research. These transformations can be most effectively catalyzed by Mo monoaryloxides pyrrolide (MAP) and chloride (MAC) complexes. A central aspect of the advance is the merging of olefin metathesis, which delivered trisubstituted alkenyl fluorides, chlorides, and bromides with cross-coupling. These catalytic and stereoretentive transformations can be used in various combinations, thereby enabling access to assorted Z- or E-trisubstituted alkene. Ensuing work led to the emergence of other transformations involving substrates that can be purchased with high stereoisomeric purity, notably E- and Z-trihalo alkenes. Trisubstituted olefins, Z or E, bearing a chemoselectively and stereoretentively alterable F,Cl-terminus or B(pin),Cl-terminus may, thus, be easily and reliably synthesized. Methods for stereoretentive preparation of other alkenyl bromide regioisomers and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic and thiol esters, nitriles, and acid fluorides followed, along with stereoretentive ring-closing metathesis reactions that afford macrocyclic trisubstituted olefins. Z- and E-Macrocyclic trisubstituted olefins, including those that contain little or no entropic support for cyclization (minimally functionalized) and/or are disfavored under substrate-controlled conditions, can now be synthesized. The utility of this latest chapter in the history of olefin metathesis has been highlighted by applications to the synthesis of several biologically active compounds, as well as their analogues, such as those marked by one or more site-specifically incorporated fluorine atoms or more active but higher energy and otherwise unobtainable conformers.The investigations discussed here, which represent every stereoretentive method that has been reported thus far for preparing a trisubstituted olefin, underscore the inimitable power of Mo-based catalysts. This Account also showcases a variety of mechanistic attributes─some for the first time, and each instrumental in solving a problem. Extensive knowledge of mechanistic nuances will be needed if we are to address successfully the next challenging problem, namely, the development of catalysts and strategies that may be used to synthesize a wide range of tetrasubstituted alkenes, especially those that are readily modifiable, with high stereoisomeric purity.

Abstract
Alkenes are ubiquitous in organic chemistry, yet many classes of alkenes remain challenging to access by current synthetic methodology. Herein, we report a copper hydride-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of Z-configured trisubstituted alkenes with high stereo- and regioselectivity via alkyne hydroalkylation. A DTBM-dppf-supported Cu catalyst was found to be optimal, providing a substantial increase in product yield compared to reactions conducted with dppf as the ligand. DFT calculations show that the DTBM substitution leads to the acceleration of alkyne hydrocupration through combined ground and transition state effects related to preventing catalyst dimerization and enhancing catalyst-substrate dispersion interactions, respectively. Alkyne hydroalkylation was successfully demonstrated with methyl and larger alkyl tosylate electrophiles to produce a variety of (hetero)aryl-substituted alkenes in moderate to high yields with complete selectivity for the Z stereochemically configured products. In the formation of the key C-C bond, computational studies revealed a direct SN2 pathway for alkylation of the vinylcopper intermediate with in situ-formed alkyl iodides.

Chromium-catalyzed stereodivergent E- and Z-selective alkyne hydrogenation controlled by cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene ligands. Nat Commun 2023; 14:990.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of alkynes allows the synthesis of olefins, which are important feedstock for the materials, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industry. Thus, methods that enable this transformation via low-cost metal catalysis are desirable. However, achieving stereochemical control in this reaction is a long-standing challenge. Here, we report on the chromium-catalyzed E- and Z-selective olefin synthesis via hydrogenation of alkynes, controlled by two carbene ligands. A cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene ligand that contains a phosphino anchor enables the hydrogenation of alkynes in a trans-addition manner, selectively forming E-olefins. With an imino anchor-incorporated carbene ligand, the stereoselectivity can be switched, giving mainly Z-isomers. This ligand-enabled geometrical stereoinversion strategy by one metal catalysis overrides common methods in control of the E- and Z-selectivity with two different metal catalysis, allowing for highly efficient and on-demand access to both E- and Z-olefins in a stereo-complementary fashion. Mechanistic studies indicate that the different steric effect between these two carbene ligands may mainly dominate the selective forming E- or Z-olefins in control of the stereochemistry.

Abstract
Olefins are ubiquitous in biologically active molecules and frequently used as building blocks in chemical transformations. However, although many strategies exist for the synthesis of stereodefined E-olefines, their thermodynamically less stable Z counterparts are substantially more demanding, while access to those bearing an allylic stereocenter with an adjacent reactive functionality remains unsolved altogether. Even the classic Wittig reaction, arguably the most versatile and widely used approach to construct Z-alkenes, falls short for the synthesis of these particularly challenging yet highly useful structural motives. Here, we report a general methodology for Z-selective synthesis of functionalized chiral alkenes that establishes readily available alkene-derived phosphines as an alternative to alkylating reagents in Wittig olefination, thus offering previously unidentified retrosynthetic disconnections for the formation of functionalized disubstituted alkenes. We demonstrate the potential of this method by structural diversification of several bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Carboxylic acids are not readily applied as carbon-based nucleophiles due to their intrinsic acidic group. Here, we demonstrate that free (E,E)-2,4-dienoic acids form electron-neutral and highest occupied molecular orbital-raised η2-complexes with Pd(0) and undergo Friedel-Crafts-type additions to imines with exclusive α-regioselectivity, giving formal dienylated products after decarboxylation. Unusual and switchable (E,E)- and (Z,E)-selectivity, along with excellent enantioselectivity, is achieved via ligand-controlled outer-sphere or inner-sphere reaction modes, respectively, which are well supported by comprehensive density functional theory calculation studies. An unprecedented formal reductive Mannich reaction between (E,E)-dienoic acids and imines is also developed to furnish enantioenriched β-amino acid derivatives.

Abstract
The decarboxylative alkenylation of aliphatic carboxylic acids with aryl styryl sulfones is efficiently catalyzed by riboflavin tetraacetate under visible light irradiation at room temperature. This metal-free protocol is cost-efficient, environmentally friendly and provides the corresponding olefins with excellent (E)-diastereocontrol. The methodology can also be used to prepare internal alkynes regioselectively by using alkynyl sulfones as radical acceptors. The suitability as building blocks of the olefins obtained was demonstrated by performing an (E)- to (Z) photoisomerization, an iron-catalyzed allylic substitution of the phenoxy group derived from the 2-phenoxycarboxylic acid substrates, as well as syn-epoxidations, and diastereoselective intramolecular iodoarylations. Based on control experiments and DFT calculations, we proposed a reaction mechanism that accounts for the regio- and diastereo-selectivity observed.

Abstract
We disclose a catalytic method for the enantio- and diastereoselective union of alkyl ethers and heterodienes. We demonstrate that a chiral Cu-BOX complex catalyzes the efficient oxidation of ethers into enol ethers in the presence of trityl acetate. Then, the organocopper promotes stereoselective hetero Diels-Alder reaction between the in situ generated enol ethers and β,γ-unsaturated ketoesters, allowing for rapid access to an array of dihydropyran derivatives possessing three vicinal stereogenic centers.

Abstract
A concise and stereoselective total synthesis of the clinically relevant tricyclic prostaglandin D2 metabolite (tricyclic-PGDM) methyl ester in racemic form was accomplished in eight steps from a readily available known cyclopentene-diol derivative. The synthesis features a nickel-catalyzed Ueno-Stork-type dicarbofunctionalization to generate two consecutive stereocenters, a palladium-catalyzed carbonylative spirolactonization to build the core oxaspirolactone, and a Z-selective cross-metathesis to introduce the (Z)-3-butenoate side chain, a group challenging to introduce through traditional Wittig protocols and troublesome for the two previous total syntheses. A general Z-selective cross-metathesis protocol to construct (Z)-β,γ-unsaturated esters was also developed that has broad functional group tolerance and high stereoselectivity. Additionally, our synthesis already accumulated 75 mg of valuable material for an 18 O-tricyclic-PGDM-based assay used in clinical settings for inflammation.

Abstract
AbstractLewis acids increase the catalytic activity of classical heterogeneous catalysts and molecular d0 tungsten oxo alkylidenes in a variety of olefin metathesis processes. The formation of labile adducts between the metal complex and the Lewis acid has been observed experimentally and suggested to be involved in the catalyst activity increase. In this contribution, DFT (M06) calculations have been performed to determine the role of Lewis acids on catalyst activity, Z-/E- selectivity and stability by comparing three W(E)(CHR)(2,5-dimethylpyrrolide)(O-2,6-dimesithylphenoxide) (E = oxo, imido or oxo-Lewis acid adduct) alkylidenes. Results show that the formation of the alkylidene—Lewis acid adducts influences the reactivity of tungsten oxo alkylidenes due to both steric and electronic effects. The addition of the Lewis acid on the E group increases its bulkiness and this decreases catalyst Z-selectivity. Moreover, the interaction between the oxo ligand and the Lewis acid decreases the donating ability of the former toward the metal. This is important when the oxo group has either a ligand in trans or in the same plane that is competing for the same metal d orbitals. Therefore, the weakening of oxo donating ability facilitates the cycloaddition and cycloreversion steps and it stabilizes the productive trigonal bipyramid metallacyclobutane isomer. The two factors increase the catalytic activity of the complex. The electron donating tuneability by the coordination of the Lewis acid also applies to catalyst deactivation and particularly the key β-hydride elimination step. In this process, the transition states show a ligand in pseudo trans to the oxo. Therefore, the presence of the Lewis acid decreases the Gibbs energy barrier significantly. Overall, the optimization of the E group donating ability in each step of the reaction makes tungsten oxo alkylidenes more reactive and this applies both for the catalytic activity and catalyst deactivation.

Herein we report a mild, general protocol for visible-light-mediated alkylation of 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines with alkenyl sulfones. The protocol permits efficient functionalization of sulfones with a broad range of cyclic and acyclic secondary and tertiary alkyl groups and is scalable to the gram level. Its excellent functional group tolerance and mildness make it suitable for late-stage functionalization of natural products and drug molecules.

Abstract
Allylamines have long been recognized as valuable synthons because of their excellent reactivity in organic synthesis. Here, an efficient amination reaction of allenyl ethers via copper/Lewis acid synergistic catalysis has been established, providing straightforward access to diverse functionalized Z-oxalylamines and E -halogenated oxalylamines in good to excellent yields with high regio- and stereoselectivities. The developed method tolerates more than 100 examples that include late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules, and features gram-scale synthesis of oxalylamines with high turnover number (TON > 1000) under mild and simple conditions. The applicability of the protocol is further demonstrated with the construction of drug molecules.

Air-stable 18-electron adducts of Schrock catalysts with tuned stability constants for spontaneous release of the active species. Commun Chem 2021; 4:71.

Abstract
Schrock alkylidenes are highly versatile, very active olefin metathesis catalysts, but their pronounced sensitivity to air still hinders their applications. Converting them into more robust but inactive 18-electron adducts was suggested previously to facilitate their handling. Generating the active species from the inactive adducts, however, required a high-temperature Lewis acid treatment and resulted in an insoluble by-product, limiting the practicality of the methodology. Herein, we introduce an approach to circumvent the inconvenient, costly, and environmentally taxing activation process. We show that 18-electron adducts of W- and Mo-based Schrock catalysts with finite stability constants (typically K = 200-15,000 M-1) can readily be prepared and isolated in excellent yields. The adducts display enhanced air-stability in the solid state, and in solution they dissociate spontaneously, hence liberating the active alkylidenes without chemical assistance.

Abstract
Herein we report a protocol for the direct visible-light-mediated alkenylation of alkyl boronic acids at room temperature without an external Lewis base as an activator, and we propose a mechanism involving benzenesulfinate activation of the alkyl boronic acids. The protocol permits the efficient functionalization of a broad range of cyclic and acyclic primary and secondary alkyl boronic acids with various alkenyl sulfones. We demonstrated its utility by preparing or functionalizing several pharmaceuticals and natural products.

Abstract
The E/Z stereocontrol in a C=C bond is a fundamental issue in olefin synthesis. Although the thermodynamically more stable E geometry is readily addressable by thermal Z to E geometric isomerization through equilibrium, it has remained difficult to undergo thermal geometric isomerization to the reverse E to Z direction in a selective manner, because it requires kinetic trapping of Z-isomer with injection of chemical energy. Here we report that a dinuclear PdI-PdI complex mediates selective isomerization of E-1,3-diene to its Z-isomer without photoirradiation, where kinetic trapping is achieved through rational sequences of dinuclear elementary steps. The chemical energy required for the E to Z isomerization can be injected from an organic conjugate reaction through sharing of common Pd species.

Abstract
Regio- and stereoselective hydrostannylation of alkyl ethynyl ethers generates alkenyl ethers, which are useful building blocks in organic synthesis. This efficient synthetic method, however, is limited. Here, we report not only an efficient method for a highly regio- and stereoselective Pd-catalyzed hydrostannylation of alkyl ethynyl ethers but also a scalable synthesis and construction of the core framework of luminamicin possessing all functional groups and stereocenters.

Abstract
Since its early days, olefin metathesis has been in the focus of scientific discussions and technology development. While heterogeneous olefin metathesis catalysts based on supported group 6 metal oxides have been used for decades in the petrochemical industry, detailed mechanistic studies and the development of molecular organometallic chemistry have led to the development of robust and widely used homogeneous catalysts based on well-defined alkylidenes that have found applications for the synthesis of fine and bulk chemicals and are also used in the polymer industry. The development of the chemistry of high-oxidation group 5-7 alkylidenes and the use of surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) principles unlocked the preparation of so-called well-defined supported olefin metathesis catalysts. The high activity and stability (often superior to their molecular analogues) and molecular-level characterisation of these systems, that were first reported in 2001, opened the possibility for the first direct structure-activity relationships for supported metathesis catalysts. This review describes first the history of SOMC in the field of olefin metathesis, and then focuses on what has happened since 2007, the date of our last comprehensive reviews in this field.

Abstract
AbstractOlefin metathesis has tremendously impacted all fields of synthetic chemistry. However, the control of the olefin stereochemistry during this process remains a grand challenge. Recent innovations in catalyst design have permitted control of the stereochemistry of the olefin product. Here, we discuss the development of stereoretentive olefin metathesis, with an emphasis on the synthesis of stereodefined polyalkenamers through ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). We then present our application of this unique reaction manifold to the preparation of all-cis poly(p-phenylene vinylene)s (PPVs). A dithiolate Ru catalyst was found to deliver perfect cis selectivity for the polymerization of a paracyclophane diene monomer. By using optimized conditions, all-cis PPVs with narrow dispersities and predictable molar masses were obtained by varying the ratio of monomer to catalyst. The high chain fidelity of the stereoretentive ROMP with a paracyclophane diene monomer enabled the preparation of well-defined diblock copolymers with a norbornene co-monomer. Photochemical isomerization of all-cis to all-trans PPVs was effected with both homopolymers and diblock copolymers. This process was shown to be selective for the PPV block, and resulted in changes in optical properties, polymer size, and solubility. Stereoretentive ROMP provides a promising platform for synthesizing polymers with unique properties, including photoresponsive all-cis PPVs with living characteristics.1 Introduction2 Synthetic Applications of Stereoretentive Olefin Metathesis3 Stereocontrol of Polyalkenamers through Stereoretentive ROMP4 Stereoretentive ROMP To Access All-cis Poly(p-phenylene vinylene)s5 Conclusion

Abstract
A diversity-oriented strategy was developed for the synthesis of glycosphingolipids (GSLs). This strategy was highlighted by using a simple lactoside containing the core structures of GSL glycan and lipid as the universal starting material to obtain different synthetic targets upon stepwise elongation of the glycan via chemical glycosylations and on-site remodeling of the lipid via chemoselective cross-metathesis and N-acylation. The strategy was verified with the synthesis of a lacto-ganglio GSL, LcGg4, which is a biomarker of undifferentiated malignant myeloid cells, and a series of its analogues or derivatives carrying different sugar chains and unique functionalities or molecular labels. This synthetic strategy should be widely applicable and, therefore, be utilized to rapidly access various GSLs and related derivatives by using different donors for glycosylations and different substrates for lipid remodeling following each glycosylation.

Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of cis-β-phenoxyvinyl benziodoxolones (cis-β-phenol-VBXs) from an ethynyl benziodoxolone-acetonitrile complex (EBX-MeCN) and various phenols is reported herein. The reaction tolerates different phenol derivatives, including complex natural products, and can be conducted under mild conditions. The synthesis was performed in an aqueous solvent in the absence and presence of a catalytic amount of a base. Selectively mono- and di-deuterated cis-β-phenol-VBXs were also prepared. cis-β-Phenol-VBXs were stereospecifically derivatized to cis-alkynylvinyl ethers and cis-iodovinyl ethers without loss of stereoselectivity or reduction in the deuterium/hydrogen ratio.

Abstract
A copper-based complex that contains a sulfonate N-heterocyclic carbene ligand was first reported 15 years ago. Since then, these organometallic entities have proven to be uniquely effective in catalyzing an assortment of enantioselective transformations, including allylic substitutions, conjugate additions, proto-boryl additions to alkenes, boryl and silyl substitutions, hydride-allyl additions to alkenyl boronates, and additions of boron-containing allyl moieties to N-H ketimines. In this review article, we detail the shortcomings in the state-of-the-art that fueled the development of this air stable ligand class, members of which can be prepared on multigram scale. For each reaction type, when relevant, the prior art at the time of the advance involving sulfonate NHC-Cu catalysts and/or subsequent key developments are briefly analyzed, and the relevance of the advance to efficient and enantioselective total or formal synthesis of biologically active molecules is underscored. Mechanistic analysis of the structural attributes of sulfonate NHC-Cu catalysts that are responsible for their ability to facilitate transformations with high efficiency as well as regio- and enantioselectivity are detailed. This review contains several formerly undisclosed methodological advances and mechanistic analyses, the latter of which constitute a revision of previously reported proposals.
