The precise synthesis of chiral polymers remains a significant challenge in polymer chemistry, particularly for applications in advanced biomedical and electronic materials. The development of degradable polymers is important for eco-friendly and advanced materials. Here, we introduce a stereo-controlled degradable polymer via cascade enyne metathesis polymerization and enantioselective acetal synthesis through Pd-catalyzed asymmetric hydroamination.

The stereocontrolled allylic alkylation of carbonyl compounds with the goal of producing the full range of stereoisomers presents an effective approach for increasing the productivity of collective natural product synthesis and the creation of chiral molecule libraries for drug exploration. The simultaneous control of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity poses a significant synthetic challenge in contemporary organic synthesis. Herein, we describe a catalytic stereodivergent α-allylation protocol applicable to both aliphatic and aromatic 2-acylimidazoles, thereby providing a practical blueprint for the divergent synthesis of important chiral building blocks.

Recent work in drug discovery has shown that selectively deuterated small molecules can improve the safety and efficacy for active pharmaceutical ingredients. The advantages derive from changes in metabolism resulting from the kinetic isotope effect when deuterium is substituted for a hydrogen atom at a structural position where rate limiting C-H bond breaking occurs. This application has pushed the development of precision deuteration strategies in synthetic chemistry that can install deuterium atoms with high regioselectivity and with stereocontrol.

Synthetic application of asymmetric catalysis relies on strategic alignment of bond construction to creation of chirality of a target molecule. Remote desymmetrization offers distinctive advantages of spatial decoupling of catalytic transformation and generation of a stereogenic element. However, such spatial separation presents substantial difficulties for the chiral catalyst to discriminate distant enantiotopic sites through a reaction three or more bonds away from a prochirality center.

ConspectusAsymmetric transition metal catalysis is an indispensable tool used both in academia and industry for forging chiral molecules in an enantioselective fashion. Its advancement relies in large part on the design and discovery of new chiral catalysts. In contrast to conventional endeavors of generating chiral transition metal catalysts from carefully tailored chiral ligands, the development of chiral transition metal catalysts containing solely achiral ligands (chiral-at-metal catalysts) has been neglected.
