Chiral γ-amino alcohols are prevalent structural motifs in natural products and bioactive compounds. Nevertheless, efficient and atom-economical synthetic methods toward enantiomerically enriched γ-amino alcohols are still lacking. In this study, a highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed reductive hydroformylation of readily available α-substituted enamides is developed, providing a series of pharmaceutically valuable chiral 1,3-amino alcohols in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities in a single step.

A holistic model for predicting yield and linear selectivity for the hydroformylation of 1-octene was developed by machine learning using the experimental data collected from literatures. Physical organic chemistry (POC) parameter-based descriptors were adopted to represent pre-catalyst molecular features. Machine learning models trained respectively by Random Forests (RF) and Extreme Gradient Boost (XGBoost) algorithm showed remarkable performance on predicting linear selectivity.

ConspectusSynergy between the teaching and research activities of a University should be a source of new ideas, each informing the other. A classroom discussion gave rise to our concept of using hydroxylamines as a form of "tethered nitrogen" for alkaloid synthesis. The "tether" temporarily connects a nucleophilic nitrogen atom to the substrate, rendering an intermolecular reaction intramolecular, thus providing stereo- and regiochemical control for C-N bond formation.

Persistent challenges in hydroformylation of olefins include controlling regioselectivity, particularly for short aliphatic olefins and conducting reactions under ambient conditions. We report here the synthesis of monophosphine-Rh complexes on a typical chelated diphosphine ligand mediated by a Zr-MOF through isolating a pair of phosphorus atoms. We demonstrate that single-crystal X-ray diffraction can elucidate the structural transformation of the Rh catalyst during olefin hydroformylation, providing valuable information on active site reconstruction during catalysis.

A Cu/Co tandem catalysis protocol was developed to conduct the hydroformylation of olefins using CO/H and PMHS (polymethylhydrosiloxane) as a readily available and environmentally friendly hydride source. This methodology was performed via a two-step approach consisting of the copper-catalyzed reduction of CO by hydrosilane and subsequent cobalt-promoted hydroformylation with H and the in situ formed CO. The optimized triphos oxide ligand, which presumably facilitates the migratory insertion of CO gives moderate to excellent yields for both terminal and internal alkenes.
