Abstract
We report herein of a novel, enantioselective and rhodium- catalyzed cyclisation of allenyl alcohols towards chiral α-vinylic, cyclic ethers employing a rhodium/(R,R)-Me-ferrocelane catalyst. The corresponding chiral cyclic products were obtained in general high yields and enantioselectivities. The synthetic value of our obtained products was further exemplified by transformations of the allylic ether function. Furthermore, applying our newly developed method in our previously reported route towards the total synthesis of (R,R,R)-α-tocopherol, we accomplished a significantly improved 2nd generation synthesis of the chromane building providing a total number of 13 steps and an overall total yield of 27 %.

Abstract
The enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed cyclization of 2-allenylbenzoxazoles to the corresponding vinyl-functionalized, fused heterocyclic structures is reported. The presented method offers several advantages, including the use of low catalyst loadings, commercially available catalyst precursors, and mild reaction conditions. Due to its broad scope, scalability, and valuable products, we consider this methodology to be a useful tool for the construction of benzoxazole-containing building blocks.

Abstract
ConspectusFinding efficient synthetic methods for the asymmetric synthesis of complex molecules has always been of interest to organic chemists. Creating and controlling the stereochemistry of stereogenic centers bearing branched allylic moieties in organic molecules using a catalytic process is an attractive and successful method for the synthesis of several natural products and medicinally important compounds. Remarkable progress toward their synthesis has been achieved via transition-metal catalysis, especially in the case of allylic substitution and allylic C-H oxidation chemistry. However, for allylic substitution the preinstallation of a leaving group is essential, and for allylic C-H oxidation, stoichiometric amounts of oxidant are required. Besides that, the control of regioselectivity with these methods is often problematic because the linear product can be produced as a major isomer. Our research group has developed a regioselective, enantioselective, and atom economic route toward the more valuable branched product via a Rh-catalyzed coupling of easily accessible alkynes or the double-bond isomeric allenes with pronucleophiles. It was demonstrated that, using this new approach, it is possible to add different pronucleophiles to alkynes or allenes to form branched allylic moieties through C-C and C-heteroatom bond formation. Since new organic reactions offer new opportunities in chemical synthesis and the benchmark for new synthetic methods is their application in target-oriented synthesis, we have demonstrated several successful syntheses of natural products and medicinally relevant targets. For example, in the total syntheses of Quercuslactones, Helicascolides A-C, Epothilone D, Homolargazole, and Thailandepsin B, the Rh-catalyzed hydro-oxycarbonylation of allenes was used as key step via C-O bond formation. Remarkably, the Rh-catalyzed C2-symmetric dimerization strategy was used to synthesize the complex molecules Clavosolide A and Vermiculine, leading to an extreme increase in structural complexity within a single step. For the total syntheses of Centrolobine, Pitavastatin, and Rosuvastatin, C-O bond formation was achieved through the addition of a hydroxy function to the allene moiety. The potential of the addition of nitrogen pronucleophiles to allenes was demonstrated in the total syntheses of Cusparein, Angusterein, Cermicin C, Senepodin G, Homoproline, Pipecolinol, Coniceine, Coniine, Ruxolitinib, Sitagliptin, Abacavir, Glucokinase activators, and Chaetominine. All of these examples testify to the wide applicability of the Rh-catalyzed addition of pronucleophiles to allenes or alkynes in target-oriented synthesis, and in this Account we summarize our contribution.

Asymmetric catalysis has become a universal and powerful method for constructing chiral compounds. In rhodium asymmetric catalysis, bisphospholane Josiphos-type ligands and their rhodium complexes are receiving increasing attention. This review provides comprehensive information on the bisphospholane Josiphos-type ligands in rhodium asymmetric catalysis. The scope of the literature covers from 2013 to now. The application of bisphospholane Josiphos-type ligands in rhodium asymmetric catalysis is summarized as follows: (i) asymmetric addition to C(sp2 )-C(sp2 ) bonds, (ii) asymmetric addition to C(sp2 )-C(sp) bonds of allenes, (iii) asymmetric hydrogenation of C(sp2 )-N bonds, C(sp2 )-O bonds and pyridinium salts, and (iv) asymmetric silanization of C-H and O-H bonds.

Abstract
Hydroarylation reactions play a pivotal role in organic chemistry due to their versatility and efficiency. In the last 10 years, the scientific production around this reaction has been very high, but in its asymmetric version, the results are less. In this mini review, selected literature examples are considered to draw attention to directions of the asymmetric hydroarylation reaction mediated by transition metal catalysts. The selected works were grouped in two main sections. In the first, we reported examples relating the narrower definition of hydroarylation, namely the metal-catalyzed processes where inactivated aryl moiety undergoes a direct functionalization via insertion of an unsaturated compound. In the second part, hydroarylation reactions take place with the use of pre-activated aryl substrates, usually aryl-iodides or aryl-boronated.

Abstract
Tandem catalysis enables the rapid construction of complex architectures from simple building blocks. This Perspective shares our interest in combining stereoselective hydrogenation with transformations such as isomerization, oxidation, and epimerization to solve diverse challenges. We highlight the use of tandem hydrogenation for preparing complex natural products from simple prochiral building blocks and present tandem catalysis involving transfer hydrogenation and dynamic kinetic resolution. Finally, we underline recent breakthroughs and opportunities for asymmetric hydrogenation.

Abstract
Herein, we report a highly enantio- and diastereoselective rhodium-catalyzed cyclization of N-allenyltryptamines and 3-allenylindoles to 6-membered spirocyclic indolenines. This allylic addition methodology offers the advantage of using a comparably cheap commercially available ligand with low loadings of an affordable rhodium precursor. The products can be converted into functionalized spirooxindoles and spiroindolines, which are regarded as important building blocks for the synthesis of a lot of natural products with biological activities.
