The use of boron chemistry for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched organic compounds is described. Key advances towards the preparation of organoboranes with control of stereochemistry are supplemented by a discussion of the use of these chiral organoboranes in carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. Particular emphasis is given to advances in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of chiral secondary organoboranes and homologation reactions. Both of these reactions convert the initially generated B-C bond into a C-C bond and thus lead to a significant increase in complexity.

The use of visible light to drive chemical transformations has a history spanning over a century. However, the development of photo-redox catalysts to efficiently harness light energy is a more recent advancement, evolving over the past two decades. While ruthenium and iridium-based photocatalysts dominate due to their photostability, long excited-state lifetimes, and high redox potentials, concerns about sustainability and cost have shifted attention to first-row transition metals.

C-glycosides are significant in medicinal chemistry due to their resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis, making them more stable and bioavailable compared to O-glycosides. Their unique structure also offers potential for developing drugs with improved therapeutic properties, particularly in treating diseases like diabetes and cancer. The main challenge in synthesizing C-glycosides lies in forming the carbon-carbon bond between the sugar and aglycone efficiently, while controlling the stereochemistry and minimizing side reactions.

The direct enantioselective functionalization of C(sp)-H bonds in organic molecules could fundamentally transform the synthesis of chiral molecules. In particular, the enantioselective oxidation of these bonds would dramatically change the production methods of chiral alcohols and esters, which are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. Remarkable advances have been made in the enantioselective construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds through the C(sp)-H bond functionalization.

The cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds and their subsequent reassembly into highly functionalized and useful molecules in an atom-efficient manner has always been a central focus in the realm of organic synthesis. In this report, we describe the construction of highly functionalized naphthol esters via a tandem reassembly process, driven by Ullmann-type coupling of enaminones and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. Mechanistic investigations suggest the involvement of C(sp)-C(sp) coupling, cyclization, two acyl migrations, aromatization, and additional transformations within this tandem sequence.
