Compounds containing quaternary stereocentres are a valuable motif in biologically active compounds. Herein we present our strategy to utilise the hydrogen borrowing manifold to access α-quaternary ketones via a tandem acceptorless dehydrogenation-cyclisation cascade. This new application of the methodology results in the formation of five- and six-membered carbocycles with a high degree of diastereoselectivity.

-Alkylation of amines is a vital reaction in the synthesis of numerous bioactive compounds and materials. Among transition metals, palladium has emerged as a particularly effective catalyst for these transformations. The unique advantages of palladium arise from its superior catalytic efficiency, ability to operate under mild conditions, high selectivity and recyclability.

An Earth-abundant Mn-PNP pincer complex-catalyzed terpenylation of cyclic and acyclic ketones and secondary alcohol 1-phenylethanol using isoprenoid derivatives prenol, nerol, phytol, solanesol, and E-farnesol as allyl surrogates is reported. The C-C coupling reactions are green and atom-economic, proceeding via dehydrogenation of alcohols following a hydrogen autotransfer methodology aided by metal-ligand cooperation.

Developing methodologies for the expedient construction of biologically important δ-valerolactones bearing a privileged azaarene moiety and a sterically congested all-carbon quaternary stereocenter is important and full of challenges. We present herein a novel multicatalytic strategy for the stereodivergent synthesis of highly functionalized chiral δ-valerolactones bearing 1,4-nonadjacent quaternary/tertiary stereocenters by orthogonally merging borrowing hydrogen and Michael addition between α-azaaryl acetates and allylic alcohols followed by lactonization in a one-pot manner. Enabled by Cu/Ru relay catalysis, this cascade protocol offers the advantages of atom/step economy, redox-neutrality, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate tolerance.

Metal-ligand cooperation (MLC) is an essential strategy in transition metal catalysis. Traditional NH-based and OH-based MLC catalysts, as well as the later developed (de)aromatization strategy, have been widely applied in atom-economic borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen auto-transfer (BH/HA) reactions. However, these conventional MLC approaches are challenging for low-coordination and low-activity coinage metal complexes, arising from the instability during (de)protonation on the coordination atom, the constraint in linear coordination, and possible poisoning due to extra functional sites.
