Treatment of cyclic beta-keto esters with terminal alkynes in the presence of a catalytic amount of a rhenium complex, [ReBr(CO)(3)(thf)](2), gave bicyclo[3.3.1]nonene derivatives. The reaction conditions and yields of the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonenes were improved by the sequential use of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) after the rhenium-catalyzed reactions.

Highly enantioselective allylic amination and alkylation of racemic sterically hindered aryl-substituted Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts have been achieved by using an in situ formed Pd-catalyst from an axially chiral phenanthroline ligand. This dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) is compatible with cyclic and acyclic secondary amines, dialkyl malonates, β-keto esters, acetylacetone, and malononitrile, affording the corresponding chiral products, such as β-amino acid esters, in up to 95% yield and with up to a 99:1 enantiomeric ratio.

A diaminomethylenemalononitrile organocatalyst efficiently promoted the asymmetric conjugate addition of cyclic β-keto esters to (E)-β-nitroacrylate derivatives, yielding the corresponding β-nitro esters derivatives with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99 % ee). This is the first successful example of highly stereoselective conjugate addition of cyclic β-keto esters to (E)-β-nitroacrylate derivatives to obtain anti-isomers.

Rh(III)-catalyzed direct oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling between -pyrimidylindoles and β-ketoesters is presented. Easily available β-ketoesters are used as an alkylating agent for the facile construction of all-carbon quaternary centers under mild conditions. The ester group in the product can undergo decarboxylation or decarboxylative amination.

Owing to the mild generation methods, arynes have been widely used in synthetic chemistry. However, achieving asymmetric organocatalytic reactions with arynes remains a formidable and infrequent challenge, primarily because these neutral and transient species tend to spontaneously quench. To address this issue, a solid-liquid phase-transfer strategy is devised in which the generation speed of arynes could be controlled by the generated fluoride-based chiral phase-transfer catalyst.

The first catalytic asymmetric interrupted Attanasi reaction has been established. Under the catalysis of a bifunctional organocatalyst, the condensation of cyclic β-keto esters with azoalkenes readily occurred, delivering a variety of bicyclic fused 2,3-dihydropyrroles with vicinal quaternary stereogenic centers in good yields and with good to excellent enantioselectivities (27 examples, up to 96% yield and 95% ee).
