Chiral pesticides often undergo enantioselective degradation during food fermentation. In this study, the enantioselective fates of seven chiral pesticides during processing of wine and rice wine were investigated. The results revealed that R-metalaxyl, R-mefentrifluconazole and S-hexaconazole were preferentially degraded during wine processing with EF values of 0.

The difluoromethyl group is a crucial fluorinated moiety with distinctive biological properties, and the synthesis of chiral CF₂H-containing analogs has been recognized as a powerful strategy in drug design. To date, the most established method for accessing enantioenriched difluoromethyl compounds involves the enantioselective functionalization of nucleophilic and electrophilic CF₂H synthons. However, this approach is limited by lower reactivity and reduced enantioselectivity.

Despite tremendous progress of dienamine catalysis along with its application in enantioselective synthesis over nearly two decades, certain limitations, especially with respect to the regioselectivity in the dienamine generation step, continue to persist. To overcome these shortcomings of classical dienamine catalysis, we now introduce the concept of alkoxy-directed dienamine catalysis and apply it to the enantioselective arene construction by desymmetrizing -enediones through [4 + 2]-cycloaddition. Catalyzed by a diphenylprolinol silyl ether, this reaction utilizes γ-alkoxy α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as the substrate and proceeds in a highly regioselective fashion through the intermediacy of δ-alkoxy dienamine.

An efficient stereoselective synthesis of 10-hydroxy-10-(1-indol-3-yl)-9-(10)-phenanthrene derivatives was realized through an organocatalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction of phenanthrenequinones and indoles using a (,)-dimethylaminocyclohexyl-squaramide as the catalyst. Under the optimized conditions, the desired chiral products were obtained in good yields (73-90%) with moderate to high ee values (up to 97% ee). Two pairs of synthesized enantiomers were subjected to evaluation of their antiproliferative activities on four types of human cancer cell lines and one human umbilical vein endothelial cell line using the CCK-8 assay.

Heck silylation of unactivated alkenes is an efficient strategy for the synthesis of useful organosilicon compounds. However, extensive efforts have been dedicated to only achieving achiral molecules. Herein, a highly regio- and enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed Heck silylation of unactivated alkenes with hydrosilanes is reported for the first time, providing access to axially chiral alkenes in good to excellent yields with 87-98% ee.
