Optically pure 1,2-diols and 1,3-diols are the most privileged structural motifs, widely present in natural products, pharmaceuticals and chiral auxiliaries or ligands. However, their synthesis relies on the use of toxic or expensive metal catalysts or suffer from low regioselectivity. Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of optically pure 1,n-diols from bulk chemicals in a highly stereoselective and atom-economical manner remains a formidable challenge.

A novel, highly diastereoselective, and metal-free synthesis of multisubstituted piperidines via an S1 approach is reported in this study. The method allows for the preparation of highly functionalized compounds with exceptional diastereomeric selectivities and consistently reproducible yields. These compounds are of significant interest due to their remarkable biological activities toward influenza endonuclease.

This study investigates the repurposing of asphaltene, a petroleum waste product, as a catalyst for organic reactions. Sulfonated asphaltene was synthesized and evaluated for its efficacy in catalyzing the Mannich reaction, displaying notable diastereoselectivity and operating effectively under mild conditions. Characterization of the catalyst's chemical composition, structure, and thermal stability was conducted using FT-IR, TGA, XRD, CHN, BET-BJH, SEM, and EDS analyses.

A highly regio-, enantio- and diastereo-selective strategy involving initial enantioselective conjugate addition to 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles serves as a key step for the desymmetrization of 2,5-cyclohexadienones has been disclosed. We have designed a new class of 2,5-cyclohexadienones appended with 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles to undergo organocatalytic asymmetric double or triple conjugate addition in a domino sequence depending on the substrate type leading to desymmetrization of the 2,5-cyclohexadienone core. The developed protocol allows the construction of a valuable hydrophenanthrene core or a unique bridged scaffold bearing multiple chiral centers with excellent enantio- (up to >99.

We report a cascade approach for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydropyrroles derivatives via a formal [4 + 1] annulation reaction of α,β-unsaturated imines with generated pyridinium ylides. Importantly, this protocol is compatible with diverse substituted imines as well as pyridinium ylides, constructing 2,3-dihydropyrroles with excellent yield and selectivity. Thereafter, the Merrifield resin-supported pyridinium ylide as a potential C1 synthon was also employed in our strategy and reused several times, resulting in products with excellent yield and diastereoselectivity.
