Abstract
The direct α-alkylation of acyclic carbonyls with nonactivated hydrocarbons through C(sp3 )-H functionalization is both extremely promising and notably challenging, especially when attempting to achieve enantioselectivity using iron-based catalysts. We have identified a robust chiral iron complex for the oxidative cross-coupling of 2-acylimidazoles with benzylic and allylic hydrocarbons, as well as nonactivated alkanes. The readily available and tunable N,N'-dioxide catalysts of iron in connection with oxidants exhibit precise asymmetric induction (up to 99 % ee) with good compatibility in moderate to good yields (up to 88 % yield). This protocol provides an elegant and straightforward access to optically active acyclic carbonyl derivatives starting from simple alkanes without prefunctionalization. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and control experiments were made to gain insight into the nature of C-C bond formation and the origin of enantioselectivity. We propose a radical-radical cross-coupling process enabled by the immediate interconversion between chiral ferric species and ferrous species.

Abstract
Recently, the asymmetric bifunctionalization of alkenes has received much attention. However, the development of enantioselective alkoxyalkenylation has posed a considerable challenge and has lagged largely behind. Herein, we report a new palladium-catalyzed enantioselective alkoxyalkenylation reaction, using a range of primary, secondary, and tertiary γ-hydroxy-alkenes with alkenyl halides. By employing newly identified Xu-Phos (Xu8 and Xu9) with a suitable side-arm adjacent to the PCy2 motif, a series of allyl-substituted tetrahydrofurans were obtained in good yields with up to 95% ee. Besides (E)-alkenyl halides, (Z)-alkenyl halide was also examined and provided the corresponding (Z)-product as a single diastereomer, supporting a stereospecific oxidative addition and reductive elimination step. Moreover, deuterium labeling and VCD experiments were employed to determine a cis-oxypalladation mechanism. DFT calculations helped us gain deeper insight into the side-arm effect on the chiral ligand. Finally, the practicability of this method is further demonstrated through a gram-scale synthesis and versatile transformations of the products.

Abstract
Chlorohydrins and oxaheterocycles are synthetically valuable building blocks for diverse natural products and therapeutic substances. A highly efficient Ir/f-phamidol-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ω-chloroketones was successfully developed, and various chlorohydrins and oxaheterocycles were obtained divergently with excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to >99% yield and >99% ee). Synthetic utilities of this divergent transformation were demonstrated by gram-scale synthesis of key intermediates of several enantiomerically enriched drugs via this catalytic methodology.

Abstract
The stereoselective intermolecular bond-forming reactions through the direct manipulation of ubiquitous yet inert C(sp3)-H bonds represent an important and long-standing goal in chemistry. In particular, developing such a stereoselective bimolecular transformation involving carbocation intermediates generated via site-selective hydride abstraction or formal hydride abstraction by organic oxidants would avoid the preinstallation of directing groups and is therefore attractive. Hydride-abstraction-initiated bimolecular transformations have received considerable attention, but existing examples lack stereoselective studies. Prevalent stereoselective studies typically suffer from the narrow substrate scope of specific and highly reactive N-aryl amines and diarylmethanes together with limited synthetic utility. This Account describes our recent advances in the development and synthetic application of hydride-abstraction-initiated stereoselective intermolecular C-C and C-H bond-forming processes with significantly expanded scopes involving structurally diverse N-acyl amines and ethers together with nitriles, esters, and perfluoroalkyl moieties.We first explored hydride-abstraction-initiated stereoselective intermolecular C-C bond-forming processes. Utilizing triarylmethyl cations or oxoammonium ions as hydride abstractors, we accomplished the diastereoselective oxidative C-H functionalization of structurally diverse N-acyl amines and ethers with a range of organoboranes and C-H components, efficiently installing a series of alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, and alkynyl species into the α-position of heteroatoms with good levels of diastereocontrol. Subsequently, we developed an "acetal pool" strategy as the toolbox to regulate the stability of cationic intermediates and the compatibility of organic oxidants with a delicate asymmetric catalysis system. Utilizing this strategy, we achieved the catalytic enantioselective oxidative C-H alkenylation, arylation, alkynylation, and alkylation of diverse N-acyl heterocycles with a range of boronates and C-H components. Simultaneously, we extended this strategy to the asymmetric oxidative C-H alkylation of ethers. Notably, the method allows solvents that are used daily, such as tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, and diethyl ether, to be facilely transformed to high-value-added optically pure bioactive molecules. We further expanded the scope of this challenging area from the C(sp3)-H bond adjacent to electron-donating heteroatoms to valuable electron-withdrawing functional groups including nitriles, esters, and perfluoroalkyl moieties for the stereoselective construction of single and vicinal quaternary carbon stereocenters, respectively.We studied hydride-abstraction-initiated catalytic asymmetric intermolecular C-H bond-forming processes, known as redox deracemization. Utilizing the acetal pool strategy, we reported the first redox deracemization of cyclic benzylic ethers. Later, we disclosed an aerobic one-pot deracemization of diverse α-amino acid derivatives with excellent functional group compatibility. We further achieved the deracemization of the tertiary stereogenic center adjacent to electron-withdrawing groups including perfluoroalkyl, cyano, and ester moieties, which are otherwise difficult to construct.

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
The insertion of carbenes into the α-C-H bonds of ethers represents one of the most powerful approaches to access polysubstituted α-branched ethers. However, intermolecular carbene insertions remain challenging, since current approaches are generally limited to the use of toxic and potentially explosive α-diazocarbonyl compounds. We now report a silver-catalyzed α-C-H benzylation of ethers using bench-stable N-triftosylhydrazones as safe and convenient carbene precursors. This approach is well suited for both inter- and intramolecular insertions to deliver medicinally relevant homobenzylic ethers and 5-8-membered oxacycles in good yields. The synthetic utility of this strategy is demonstrated by its easy scalability, broad scope with valuable functional groups, high regioselectivity, and late-stage functionalization of complex oxygen-containing molecules. The relative reactivities of different types of silver carbenes and C-H bonds were also investigated by experments and DFT calculations.

Abstract
As one of the most ubiquitous bulk reagents available, the intrinsic chemical inertness of tetrahydrofuran (THF) makes direct and site-selective C(sp3 )-H bond activation difficult, especially under redox neutral condition. Here, we demonstrate that semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) can activate α-C-H bond of THF via forming QDs/THF conjugates. Under visible light irradiation, the resultant alkoxyalkyl radical directly engages in radical cross-coupling with α-amino radical from amino C-H bonds or radical addition with alkene or phenylacetylene, respectively. In contrast to stoichiometric oxidant or hydrogen atom transfer reagents required in previous studies, the scalable benchtop approach can execute α-C-H bond activation of THF only by a QD photocatalyst under redox-neutral condition, thus providing a broad of value added chemicals starting from bulk THFs reagent.

Abstract
Two key factors bear on reaction rates for the conjugate addition of alkenyl boronic acids to heteroaryl-appended enones: the proximity of inductively electron-withdrawing heteroatoms to the site of bond formation and the resonance contribution of available heteroatom lone pairs to stabilize the developing positive charge at the enone β-position. For the former, the closer the heteroatom is to the enone β-carbon, the faster the reaction. For the latter, greater resonance stabilization of the benzylic cationic charge accelerates the reaction. Thus, reaction rates are increased by the closer proximity of inductive electron-withdrawing elements, but if resonance effects are involved, then increased rates are observed with electron-donating ability. Evidence for these trends in isomeric substrates is presented, and the application of these insights has allowed for reaction conditions that provide improved reactivity with previously problematic substrates.

Abstract
The development of cross-dehydrogenative coupling in recent years has simplified the synthesis of many materials, as a result of facile C–H activation, which, together with its greater atom economy and environmental friendliness, has made an impact on modern organic chemistry. Indeed, many C–C and C–X (X = N, O, P, S, B, or Si) coupling reactions can now be performed directly between two C–H bonds or a C–H and an X–H bond, simply by adding catalytic amounts of a metal salt to a mixture of the two and an oxidant to accept the two hydrogen atoms released. Chiral organocatalysts or chiral ligands have been joined to promote enantioselective processes, resulting in the development of efficient reaction cascades that provide products in high yields and high levels of asymmetric induction through cooperative catalysis. In recent years, photochemical oxidation and electrochemistry have widened even more the scope of cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC). In this review, we summarized the recent literature in this subject, hoping that it will inspire many new synthetic strategies.

Abstract
A cross-dehydrogenative coupling strategy for enantioselective access to acyclic CF3-substituted all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has been established. By using catalytic DDQ with MnO2 as an inexpensive terminal oxidant, asymmetric cross coupling of racemic δ-CF3-substituted phenols with indoles proceeded smoothly, providing CF3-bearing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters with excellent chemo- and enantioselectivities. The generality of the strategy is further demonstrated by efficient construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters bearing other polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl groups such as CF2Cl, C2F5, and C3F7.

Abstract
C-C bond formation in heterocycles via the direct coupling of C-H bonds, under oxidative conditions, classified as cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC), is without doubt one of the most atom efficient methods for the functionalization of these molecules. The most common is the coupling at the position alpha to the heteroatom, owing to the stabilization of forming carbocation by the heteroatom. The corresponding asymmetric versions, except for a few isolated reports, have been rather evasive for several years. Optically active heterocycles with the chiral center alpha to the heteroatom are widely present in natural products and pharmaceuticals, thus making them an attractive synthetic target. Persistent efforts towards the asymmetric CDC of heterocycles since the beginning of this decade have led to several developments in this challenging area. Particularly, in the last few years, considerable progress has been witnessed in this field. This review summarizes the progress made in the area of asymmetric cross dehydrogenative coupling of heterocycles in recent years. The review covers the catalytic asymmetric CDC of sp3 C-H bonds of the heterocycles with various coupling partners and illustrates the different catalytic systems employed.
