Abstract
The enantioselective allylic alkylation of nitro ketene aminals with racemic allylic alcohols was realized by iridium/acid dual catalysis. An allyl group was installed on the α-position of nitro ketene aminals in a branched-selective manner in high efficiency with excellent enantioselectivities (93-99% ee). The protocol was applied to the late-stage modification of neonicotinoid insecticides, which directly furnished a novel neonicotinoid analogue with good insecticidal activity against Aphis craccivora (LC50 = 6.40 mg/L). On the basis of the control experiment, an aza-ene-type allylic alkylation reaction mechanism was proposed.

Sugar-Assisted Kinetic Resolutions in Metal/Chiral Amine Co-Catalyzed α-Allylations and [4+2] Cycloadditions: Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Sugar and Chromane Derivatives. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202301725.

Abstract
Functionalized triose-, furanose and chromane-derivatives were synthesized by the titled reactions. The sugar-assisted kinetic resolution/C-C bond-forming cascade processes generate a functionalized sugar derivative with a quaternary stereocenter in a highly enantioselective fashion (up to >99 % ee) by using a simple combination of metal and chiral amine co-catalysts. Notably, the interplay between the chiral sugar substrate and the chiral amino acid derivative allowed for the construction of a functionalized sugar product with high enantioselectivity (up to 99 %) also when using a combination of racemic amine catalyst (0 % ee) and metal catalyst.

Abstract
A highly enantioselective formal α-allylic alkylation of acrylonitrile is developed using 4-cyano-3-oxotetrahydrothiophene (c-THT) as a safe and easy-to-handle surrogate of acrylonitrile. This two-step process consists of an Ir(I)/(P,olefin)-catalyzed branched-selective allylic alkylation using easily accessible branched rac-allylic alcohols as the allylic electrophile followed by retro-Dieckmann/retro-Michael fragmentation and is shown to be applicable for the enantioselective synthesis of α-allylic acrylates as well as α-allylic acrolein.

Abstract
An enantioselective synthesis of skipped dienes has been developed based on an iridium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of phosphonates and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination. This two-step protocol uses easily accessible substrates and delivers C2-substituted skipped dienes bearing a C3 stereogenic center, generally with outstanding enantioselectivities (up to 99.5:0.5 er). This is the first catalytic enantioselective allylic alkylation of phosphonates, and the overall process represents a formal enantioselective α-C(sp2)-H allylic alkylation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls and acrylonitrile.
