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
Building molecular complexity from simple feedstocks through precise peripheral and skeletal modifications is central to modern organic synthesis. Nevertheless, a controllable strategy through which both the core skeleton and the periphery of an aromatic heterocycle can be modified with a common substrate remains elusive, despite its potential to maximize structural diversity and applications. Here we report a carbene-initiated chemodivergent molecular editing of indoles that allows both skeletal and peripheral editing by trapping an electrophilic fluoroalkyl carbene generated in situ from fluoroalkyl N-triftosylhydrazones. A variety of fluorine-containing N-heterocyclic scaffolds have been efficiently achieved through tunable chemoselective editing reactions at the skeleton or periphery of indoles, including one-carbon insertion, C3 gem-difluoroolefination, tandem cyclopropanation and N1 gem-difluoroolefination, and cyclopropanation. The power of this chemodivergent molecular editing strategy has been highlighted through the modification of the skeleton or periphery of natural products in a controllable and chemoselective manner. The reaction mechanism and origins of the chemo- and regioselectivity have been probed by both experimental and theoretical methods.

Abstract
1,1'-Bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) has been extensively used as the chirality source in the fields of molecular recognition, asymmetric synthesis, and materials science. The direct electrophilic substitution at the aromatic rings of the optically active BINOL has been developed as one of the most convenient strategies to structurally modify BINOL for diverse applications. High regioselectivity has been achieved for the reaction of BINOL with electrophiles. Depending upon the reaction conditions and substitution patterns, various functional groups can be introduced to the specific positions, such as the 6-, 5-, 4-, and 3-positions, of BINOL. Ortho-lithiation at the 3-position directed by the functional groups at the 2-position of BINOL have been extensively used to prepare the 3- and 3,3'-substituted BINOLs. The use of transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation has also been explored to functionalize BINOL at the 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-positions. These regioselective substitutions of BINOL have allowed the construction of tremendous amount of BINOL derivatives with fascinating structures and properties as reviewed in this article. Examples for the applications of the optically active BINOLs with varying substitutions in asymmetric catalysis, molecular recognition, chiral sensing and materials are also provided.

Abstract
By creating an unsymmetric double Michael acceptor 1, we were able to synthesize the nonaromatic-fused bicyclic furo[2,3-b]pyrrole nucleus using a domino Michael/oxa-Michael reaction. Adopting benzoyl acetonitrile 2d (CN as the electron-withdrawing group) as a substrate, we discovered a (DHQ)2AQN-catalyzed method for high diastereo- and enantioselectivity of those products. The reaction path has been determined by isolating the reaction intermediates, and density functional theory calculations support these findings. Beyond providing a synthetic approach, this work illustrated the compounds' possible use in antitumor activity.

Abstract
Ru/Cu dual catalysis has been applied for Z-retentive asymmetric allylic substitution reactions of aldimine esters. This reaction provides an enantioselective synthesis of chiral Z-olefins in high yields (up to 91% yield) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee) under mild conditions. The previously unreacted trisubstituted allylic electrophiles under Ir catalytic system are found to be compatible, affording the stereoretentive products in either Z- or E-form. Both linear and branched allylic electrophiles are suitable substrates with excellent reaction outcomes. Notably, Ru and Cu complexes are added in one-pot and simplifies the manipulation of this protocol and self-sorting phenomena could be observed in this Ru/Cu dual catalytic system.

Abstract
Pyrroloindolines are important structural units in nature and the pharmaceutical industry, however, most approaches to such structures involve transition-metal or photoredox catalysts. Herein, we describe the first tandem SET/radical cyclization/intermolecular coupling between 2-azaallyl anions and indole acetamides. This method enables the transition-metal-free synthesis of C3a-substituted pyrroloindolines under mild and convenient conditions. The synthetic utility of this transformation is demonstrated by the construction of an array of C3a-methylamine pyrroloindolines with good functional group tolerance and yields. Gram-scale sequential one-pot synthesis and hydrolysis reactions demonstrate the potential synthetic utility and scalability of this approach.

Abstract
Primary alkyl amines are highly reactive in N-nucleophilic reactions with electrophiles. However, their α-C-H bonds are unreactive towards electrophiles due to their extremely low acidity (pKa ~57). Nonetheless, 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO) can activate primary alkyl amines by increasing the acidity of the α-amino C-H bonds by up to 1044 times. This makes the α-amino C-H bonds acidic enough to be deprotonated under mild conditions. By combining DFO with an iridium catalyst, direct asymmetric α-C-H alkylation of NH2-unprotected primary alkyl amines with allylic carbonates has been achieved. This reaction produces a wide range of chiral homoallylic amines with high enantiopurities. The approach has successfully switched the reactivity between primary alkyl amines and allylic carbonates from intrinsic allylic amination to the α-C-H alkylation, enabling the construction of pharmaceutically significant chiral homoallylic amines from readily available primary alkyl amines in a single step.

Abstract
Inspired by the high affinity of copper with DNA and RNA, a uracil-copper catalytic system was developed to promote ring-opening allylation of cyclopropanols with allylic alcohols under water-tolerant conditions. A new C-OH bond-breaking model can well resolve the trade-off between the need for acidic activators for C(allyl)-OH bond cleavage and the demand for strong basic conditions for generating homoenolates. Therefore, Morita-Baylis-Hillman alcohols, rather than their pre-activated versions, could be incorporated directly into dehydrative cross-coupling with cyclopropanols delivering water as the only by-product. A variety of functionalized δ,ε-unsaturated ketones were obtained in good-to-high yield with high E-selectivity.

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.

Abstract
Chiral functionalized piperidine and lactone heterocycles are widely spread in natural products and drug candidates with promising pharmacological properties. However, there remains no general asymmetric methodologies that enable rapid assemble both critical biologically important units into one three-dimensional chiral molecule. Herein, we describe a straightforward relay strategy for the construction of enantioenriched bridged piperidine-γ-butyrolactone skeletons incorporating three skipped stereocenters via asymmetric allylic alkylation and aza-Prins cyclization/lactonization sequences. The excellent enantioselectivity control in asymmetric allylation with the simplest allylic precursor is enabled by the synergistic Cu/Ir-catalyzed protocol; the success of aza-Prins cyclization/lactonization can be attributed to the pivotal role of the ester substituent, which acts as a preferential intramolecular nucleophile to terminate the aza-Prins intermediacy of piperid-4-yl cation species. The resulting chiral piperidine-γ-butyrolactone bridged-heterocyclic products show impressive preliminary biological activities against a panel of cancer cell lines.

Ir/Zn-cocatalyzed chemo- and atroposelective [2+2+2] cycloaddition for construction of C─N axially chiral indoles and pyrroles. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2023; 9:eadk1704.

Abstract
Here, an Ir/Zn-cocatalyzed atroposelective [2+2+2] cycloaddition of 1,6-diynes and ynamines was developed, forging various functionalized C─N axially chiral indoles and pyrroles in generally good to excellent yields (up to 99%), excellent chemoselectivities, and high enantioselectivities (up to 98% enantiomeric excess) with wide substrate scope. This cocatalyzed strategy not only provided an alternative promising and reliable way for asymmetric alkyne [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization in an easy handle but also settled the issues of previous [Rh(COD)2]BF4-catalyzed system on the construction of C─N axial chirality such as complex operations, limited substrate scope, and low efficiency. In addition, control experiments and theoretical calculations disclosed that Zn(OTf)2 markedly reduced the barrier of migration insertion to significantly increase reaction efficiency, which was distinctly different from previous work on the Lewis acid for improving reaction yield through accelerating oxidative addition and reductive elimination.

Abstract
Prized for their ability to generate chemical complexity rapidly, catalytic carbon-hydrogen (C-H) activation and functionalization reactions have enabled a paradigm shift in the standard logic of synthetic chemistry. Directing group strategies have been used extensively in C-H activation reactions to control regio- and enantioselectivity with transition metal catalysts. However, current methods rely heavily on coordination with nitrogen and/or oxygen atoms in molecules and have therefore been found to exhibit limited generality in asymmetric syntheses. Here, we report enantioselective C-H activation with unsaturated hydrocarbons directed by phosphorus centres to rapidly construct libraries of axially chiral phosphines through dynamic kinetic resolution. High reactivity and enantioselectivity are derived from modular assembly of an iridium catalyst with an endogenous phosphorus atom and an exogenous chiral phosphorus ligand, as confirmed by detailed experimental and computational studies. This reaction mode significantly expands the pool of enantiomerically enriched functional phosphines, some of which have shown excellent efficiency for asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
A dehydrative cross-coupling of unactivated allylic alcohols with sulfinic acids was achieved under catalyst-free conditions. This reaction proceeded via allyl sulfination and concomitant allyl sulfinate-sulfone rearrangement. Various allylic sulfones could be obtained in good to excellent yields with water as the only byproduct. This study expands the synthetic toolbox for constructing allylic sulfone molecules.

Abstract
A novel and convenient approach that combines high-throughput experimentation (HTE) with machine learning (ML) technologies to achieve the first selective cross-dimerization of sulfoxonium ylides via iridium catalysis is presented. A variety of valuable amide-, ketone-, ester-, and N-heterocycle-substituted unsymmetrical E-alkenes are synthesized in good yields with high stereoselectivities. This mild method avoids the use of diazo compounds and is characterized by simple operation, high step-economy, and excellent chemoselectivity and functional group compatibility. The combined experimental and computational studies identify an amide-sulfoxonium ylide as a carbene precursor. Furthermore, a comprehensive exploration of the reaction space is also performed (600 reactions) and a machine learning model for reaction yield prediction has been constructed.

Abstract
ConspectusVicinal stereogenic centers are prevalent structural motifs of primary functional relevance in natural products and bioactive molecules. The quest for the rapid and controllable construction of vicinal stereogenic centers stands as a frontier endeavor in asymmetric organic synthesis. Over the past decade, stereodivergent synthesis has been intensely researched within the realm of bimetallic catalysis, aiming at establishing novel transition-metal dual-catalytic reactions that efficiently generate all stereochemical combinations of multichiral molecules from identical starting materials, thus offering new opportunities toward rapid complexity building and diversity-oriented chiral compound library generation. In this Account, we summarize our recent advancements in computational investigations of stereodivergent asymmetric allylic alkylation, an important reaction class heavily studied for the purpose of constructing vicinal stereogenic centers. Our discussions focus on synergistic bimetallic catalysis for the syntheses of α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids and cascade allylation/cyclization toward enantiomerically enriched indole-containing heterocycles. We describe our series of studies that converge in establishing the molecular mechanism of asymmetric induction for chiral copper-azomethine ylide, a nucleophile that holds widespread utility and is characterized by a distinctive, sterically biased surrounding enveloping the prochiral center. Notably, our studies revealed that attacks at the prochiral site by allylmetal species are significantly favored by dispersion attraction from one face (-PPh2) but blocked by steric repulsion and associated structural distortions on the opposite face (oxazoline), therefore building up a multimodal and highly robust face-selective stereoinduction. We showcase how a suite of systematic computational analyses generates precise atomistic insights into a number of systems of relevance. We also discuss how the same methodologies can be applied to chiral intermediates with shared interaction patterns, including the rhodium-Josiphos catalyst in asymmetric hydrogenation to create two continuous stereocenters. In the selectivity-controlling migratory insertion step, our computational models unveiled that the reaction is favored by ligand-substrate dispersion attraction on the -PPh2 side and hindered by steric repulsion on the opposite -PtBu2 side. These noncovalent interactions along with the distal ligand-auxiliary structural distortions enable strictly oriented three-dimensional stereoinduction. Our analysis of ligand-substrate dispersion interactions and steric effects in competing pathways highlights certain interaction-level similarities between PHOX-type and Josiphos-type ligands in asymmetric induction. In summary, this Account underscores the foundational significance and broad applicability of nonbonded dispersion interactions in asymmetric inductions for the construction of vicinal stereogenic centers. We envisage that the computational methodologies employed in these studies will shift toward a paradigm of interaction-based rational molecular and reaction design.

Abstract
Stereoconvergent transformation of E/Z mixtures of olefins to products with a single steric configuration is of great practical importance but hard to achieve. Herein, we report an iron-catalyzed stereoconvergent 1,4-hydrosilylation reactions of E/Z mixtures of readily available conjugated dienes for the synthesis of Z-allylsilanes with high regioselectivity and exclusive stereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reactions most likely proceed through a two-electron redox mechanism. The stereoselectivity of the reactions is ultimately determined by the crowded reaction cavity of the α-diimine ligand-modified iron catalyst, which forces the conjugated diene to coordinate with the iron center in a cis conformation, which in turn results in generation of an anti-π-allyl iron intermediate. The mechanism of this stereoconvergent transformation differs from previously reported mechanisms of other related reactions involving radicals or metal-hydride species.

Abstract
Chiral cyclobutane presents as a popular motif in natural products and biologically active molecules, and its derivatives have been extensively used as key synthons in organic synthesis. Herein, we report an efficient synthetic method toward enantioenriched cyclobutane derivatives. The reaction proceeds in a cascade fashion involving Ir-catalyzed asymmetric allylic etherification and visible-light induced [2 + 2] cycloaddition. Readily available branched allyl acetates and cinnamyl alcohols are directly used as the substrates under mild reaction conditions, providing a broad range of chiral cyclobutanes in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 12:1 dr, >99% ee). It is worth noting that all substrates and catalysts were simultaneously added without any separated step in this approach. The gram-scale reaction and diverse transformations of product further enhance the potential utility of this method.

Abstract
The development of catalytic and enantioselective transformations for the synthesis of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has long been recognized as a significant challenge in organic synthesis. While considerable progress has been made in asymmetric allylations, their potential to functionalize the commonly used synthon, epoxide, remains largely underexplored. Here we demonstrate the first highly regio- and enantioselective allylation of epoxides that delivers a range of quaternary stereocenters in the face of potentially problematic elimination and protonation reactions. The reaction proceeds via a radical approach under mild conditions and benefits from the use of earth-abundant titanium with a highly sophisticated salen ligand, which facilitates remarkable enantiocontrol and suppresses undesired side reactions. The resulting allylation products are multifunctional building blocks that can be elaborated chemo- and stereoselectively to a broad array of stereodefined structural motifs.

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
The Tsuji-Trost reaction between carbonyl compounds and allylic precursors has been widely used in the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. As the α-C-H bond is far more acidic than the β-C-H bond, carbonyl compounds undergo highly regioselective allylation at the α-position and their β-allylation is therefore highly challenging. This innate α-reactivity conversely hampers diversity, especially if the corresponding β-allylation product is targeted. Herein, we present a formal intermolecular β-C-C bond formation reaction of a broad range of aldehydes and ketones with different allyl electrophiles through cooperative nickel and photoredox catalysis. β-Selectivity is achieved via initial transformation of the aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding silyl enol ethers. The overall transformation features mild conditions, excellent regioselectivity, wide functional group tolerance and high reaction efficiency. The introduced facile and regioselective β-allylation of carbonyl compounds proceeding through cooperative catalysis allows the preparation of valuable building blocks that are difficult to access from aldehydes and ketones using existing methodology.

Abstract
An iridium-catalyzed intramolecular asymmetric allylic etherification of pyrimidinemethanols is described. In the presence of chiral-bridged biphenyl phosphoramidite ligand L3 and triethylborane, this process provided a class of novel pyrimidine-fused oxazepanes in up to 99% yield with 99.5% enantiomeric excess. The work addresses the challenge of insufficient nucleophilicity of aliphatic alcohols for allyl substitution and indicates the vital value of chiral-bridged biphenyl phosphoramidites. Various multifunctionalized transformations of the products further demonstrate the robust synthetic utility of this methodology.

Abstract
Pyranones have raised great concerns owing to their considerable applications in a variety of sectors. However, the development of direct asymmetric allylation of 4-hydroxypyran-2-ones is still restricted. Herein, we present an effective iridium-catalyzed asymmetric functionalization technique for the synthesis of 4-hydroxypyran-2-one derivatives over direct and efficient catalytic asymmetric Friedel-Crafts-type allylation by using allyl alcohols. The allylation products could be obtained with good to high yields (up to 96%) and excellent enantioselectivities (>99% ee). Therefore, the disclosed technique provides a new asymmetric synthetic strategy to explore pyranone derivatives in depth, thus providing an interesting approach for global application and further utilization in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical chemistry.

Abstract
Samarium diiodide (SmI2) mediated reductive coupling reactions are powerful methods for the construction of carbon-carbon bond in organic synthesis. Despite the extensive development in recent decades, successful examples of the corresponding asymmetric reactions remained scarce, probably due to the involvement of highly reactive radical intermediates. In this Article, we report an enantioselective dearomatization of indoles via SmI2-mediated intermolecular reductive coupling with ketones. The utilization of samarium reductant supported by chiral tridentate aminodiol ligands allows the facile synthesis of indoline molecules bearing two contiguous stereogenic centers in high yields (up to 99%) and stereoselectivity (up to 99:1 er and >20:1 dr). Combined experimental and computational investigations suggested that parallel single-electron transfer to each substrate from the chiral samarium reductant allows the radical-radical recombination in an enantioselective manner, which is a unique mechanistic scenario in SmI2-mediated reductive coupling reactions.

Abstract
The catalytic dearomative cycloaddition of bicyclic heteroaromatics including benzofurans and indoles provides rapid access to functionalized heterocyclic molecules. Because of the inherent stereoelectronic differences, the furan or pyrrole nucleus is more prone to dearomative cycloaddition than the benzene ring. Here, we realized a geometry-based differentiation approach for achieving C6-C7 and C7-C7a regioselectivity. The rotationally restricted σ bond at C7 position respectively placed the C6-C7 and C7-C7a sites of benzofurans or indoles in an optimal spatial orientation toward the axially chiral heterodiene, thus affording two enantioenriched polycyclic compounds from a single racemic heterobiaryl atropisomers. Calculation results of density functional theory interpreted the mechanism of this parallel kinetic resolution. The bioactivity of the dearomatized products was evaluated in cancer cell lines with certain compounds exhibiting interesting biological activities.

Abstract
Herein, we report a synthesis of cyclohexanones bearing multi-continuous stereocenters by combining copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of dialkylzinc reagents to cyclic enones with iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution reaction. Good to excellent yields, diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity can be obtained. Unlike the stereodivergent construction of adjacent stereocenters (1,2-position) reported in the literature, the current reaction can achieve the stereodivergent construction of nonadjacent stereocenters (1,3-position) by a proper combination of two chiral catalysts with different enantiomers.

Abstract
Asymmetric sequential hydrogenations of conjugated enynes have been developed using a Ph-BPE-CoI catalyst for the precise synthesis of chiral Z-allylamides in high activity (up to 1000 substrate/catalyst (S/C)) and with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99 % enantiomeric excess (ee)). Mechanism experiments and theoretical calculations support a cationic CoI /CoIII redox catalytic cycle. The catalytic activity difference between cobalt complexes of Ph-BPE and QuinoxP* was explained by the process decomposition of rate-determining step in the second hydrogenation.

Abstract
A family of polystyrene-supported (phosphoramidite, olefin) ligands L1-L4, based on the original design by Defieber and Carreira, has been developed and applied in iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination of unmasked allylic alcohols (27 examples, up to 99% ee). Among them, functional resins L1 and L4 exhibit important advantages such as easy preparation, ligand recyclability, and easy handling for sequential use. As a distinctive advantage, the catalytic use of the iridium complexes of L1 and L4 allows the straightforward reuse of a high percentage of the expensive iridium metal involved in the complexes, which is not achievable under homogeneous conditions with the corresponding monomeric complexes.

Abstract
An asymmetric cascade allylation/spiroketalization reaction between 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)phenols and 5-methyleneoxazolines is accomplished by using a chiral Ir(I) catalyst derived from commercially available iridium precursor and the Carreira ligand. This protocol furnishes a class of structurally novel and unique oxazoline-spiroketals in up to 86% yield, >99% ee and >20:1 dr. Moreover, control experiments reveal that 4,4-disubstitution on 5-methyleneoxazolines is necessary to avoid the aromatization and for the spiroketalization to occur. On the basis of this, a plausible reaction mechanism is illustrated.

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
Electronically matched nucleophilic 1,6-conjugate addition has been well studied and widely applied in synthetic areas. In contrast, nucleophilic 1,5-conjugate addition represents an electronically forbidden process and is considered unfeasible. Here, we describe modular protocols for 1,5-conjugate addition reactions via palladium hydride catalysis. Both palladium and synergistic Pd/organocatalyst systems are developed to catalyze 1,5-conjugate reaction, followed by inter- or intramolecular [3+2] cyclization. A migratory 1,5-addition protocol is established to corroborate the feasibility of this umpolung concept. The 1,5-addition products are conveniently transformed into a series of privileged enantioenriched motifs, including polysubstituted tetrahydrofuran, dihydrofuran, cyclopropane, cyclobutane, azetidine, oxetane, thietane, spirocycle and bridged rings. Preliminary mechanistic studies corroborate the involvement of palladium hydride catalysis.

A Pd/Ca catalytic system to promote the unsymmetrical bis-allylation of malononitrile was developed by selecting conjugated dienes and allylic alcohols as allylic reagents. This catalytic system suppressed the competitive symmetrical bis-allylation process and guaranteed the desired unsymmetrical bis-allylation with high chemoselectivity. A wide range of conjugated dienes and allylic alcohols were tolerated well in this transformation, and diverse 1,6-dienes were obtained with high efficiency.

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
Covering: 2011 to 2022The natural world is a prolific source of some of the most interesting, rare, and complex molecules known, harnessing sophisticated biosynthetic machinery evolved over billions of years for their production. Many of these natural products represent high-value targets of total synthesis, either for their desirable biological activities or for their beautiful structures outright; yet, the high sp3-character often present in nature's molecules imparts significant topological complexity that pushes the limits of contemporary synthetic technology. Dearomatization is a foundational strategy for generating such intricacy from simple materials that has undergone considerable maturation in recent years. This review highlights the recent achievements in the field of dearomative methodology, with a focus on natural product total synthesis and retrosynthetic analysis. Disconnection guidelines and a three-phase dearomative logic are described, and a spotlight is given to nature's use of dearomatization in the biosynthesis of various classes of natural products. Synthetic studies from 2011 to 2021 are reviewed, and 425 references are cited.

Abstract
Herein, we report an efficient kinetic resolution of alkyl allylic alcohols enabled by an iridium-catalyzed enantioselective alkynylation of alkyl allylic alcohols with potassium alkynyltrifluoroborates. A wide range of chiral 1,4-enynes bearing various functional groups and unreacted enantioenriched allylic alcohols were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities and high kinetic resolution performance (s-factor up to 922). Additionally, this method is particularly effective for preparing some useful optically pure alkyl allylic alcohols, such as the key components towards the synthesis of prostaglandins and naturally occurring matsutakeols, which are difficult to access via other asymmetric reactions. Mechanistic studies revealed that the efficient kinetic resolution might be due to the significant distinction of the η 2-coordination between the (R)- and (S)-allylic alcohols with the iridium/(phosphoramidite, olefin) complex.

Abstract
Pd-catalyzed intermolecular asymmetric allylic dearomatization of substituted β-naphthol derivatives with Boc-protected Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts was developed. The reaction occurs smoothly in 1,4-dioxane at room temperature in the presence of [Pd(C3H5)Cl]2 (2.5 mol %), (S, Sp)-PHOX ligand (5.5 mol %), and Li2CO3 (1.0 equiv). A series of dearomatized products were afforded in moderate to excellent yields and enantioselectivity (up to 99% yield, 97% ee). Furthermore, the compatibility with gram-scale reaction and mild conditions make the current method synthetically useful.

Abstract
The catalytic allylic substitution is one of the most important tools in asymmetric synthesis to form C-C bonds in an enantioselective way. While high efficiency was previously accomplished in terms of enantio- and regiocontrol using different catalyst types, a strong general limitation is a very pronounced preference for the formation of allylic substitution products with (E)-configured C=C double bonds. Herein, we report that with a planar chiral palladacycle catalyst a diastereospecific reaction outcome is achieved using isoxazolinones and allylic imidates as substrates, thus maintaining the C=C double bond geometry of the allylic substrates in the highly enantioenriched products. DFT calculations show that the reactions proceed via an SN 2 mechanism and not via π-allyl Pd complexes. Crucial for the high control is the stabilization of the allylic fragment in the SN 2 transition state by π-interactions with the phenyl substituents of the pentaphenylferrocenyl catalyst core.

Abstract
An iridium-catalyzed stereoselective coupling of allylic ethers and alkynes to generate 3,4-substituted 1,5-enynes is reported. Under optimized conditions, the coupling products are formed with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities, and the protocol is functional group tolerant. Moreover, we report conditions that allow the reaction to proceed with complete reversal of diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies are consistent with an unprecedented dual role for the iridium catalyst, enabling the propargylic deprotonation of the alkyne through π-coordination, as well as the generation of a π-allyl species from the allylic ether starting material.

Abstract
A transition-metal-free catalytic system was designed to address the dehydrative cross-coupling of unactivated primary/secondary alcohols with amines/amides under environmentally benign conditions. Mg2+ and counteranion (PF6-) worked synergistically to realize C-OH bond cleavage and concomitant C-N bond formation. A wide range of allylic alcohols and amines/amides were tolerated well in this transformation, which allowed C-N bond construction with high efficiency.

Abstract
A one-pot Cu-mediated H-D exchange with inexpensive heavy water as the deuterium source, followed by Cu- and Ir-catalyzed stereodivergent allylic alkylation, has been developed, providing efficient access to enantioenriched α-deuterium-labeled α-amino acids from readily available glycine imine esters in a high yield with excellent stereoselectivity. High deuterium enrichment, exquisite regioselectivity, precise stereoselectivity control, and operationally convenient procedures make this protocol appealing for the preparation of highly synthetically useful α-deuterated α-amino acids.

Abstract
A new Co-catalyzed sequential C-C and C-F activation of gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes (gem-FCPs) to form nucleophilic fluoroallylcobalt, followed by addition to aldehydes, is reported. The protocol features the regioselective cleavage of dual chemical bonds of readily available gem-FCPs to prepare easily separable linear (Z)- and (E)-fluorinated homoallylic alcohols with a broad scope. This discovery established a new strategy for the efficient transformation of gem-FCPs as well as the synthesis of challenging fluorinated homoallylic alcohols.

Abstract
The enantioselective cascade reaction between racemic 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)phenols and alkynols/alkynamides was realized by using a gold and iridium sequential catalytic system. In this procedure, the in situ generated exocyclic vinyl ethers or enamides undergo the asymmetric allylation/spiroketalization with π-ally-Ir amphiphilic species, which provides an efficient and straightforward access to spiroketals and spiroaminals with excellent enantioselectivities. Moreover, racemic 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)anilines were also suitable in this reaction along with a kinetic resolution process, affording enantioenriched spiroaminals and 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)anilines in good yields. The synthetic utility of this method has been demonstrated by efficient enantioselective synthesis of the analogue of Paecilospirone.
