In this study, we developed a machine-learning-aided protein design strategy for engineering hemoglobin (VHb) as carbene transferase. A Natural Language Processing (NLP) model was used for the first time to construct an algorithm (EESP, enzyme enantioselectivity score predictor) and predict the enantioselectivity of VHb. We identified critical amino acid residue sites by molecular docking and established a simplified mutation library by site-saturated mutagenesis.

Here, we report the enantioselective total syntheses of four diepoxy--kaurane diterpenoids including (-)-Macrocalin B, (-)-Acetyl-macrocalin B, and (-)-Isoadenolin A and the revised structure of (-)-Phyllostacin I, which hinges on the strategic design of a regioselective and stereospecific trapping of a highly reactive [3.2.1]-bridgehead enone intermediate via a tethered intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.

Catalytic asymmetric transformation of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) has been proven to be a highly valuable and robust strategy to construct diverse types of enantioenriched molecules. However, the use of 1,1,2,2-tetrasubstituted DACs to form products bearing quaternary stereocenters remains a long-term unsolved challenge. Here, we report the copper-catalyzed asymmetric aminative ring opening of tetrasubstituted alkynyl DACs that delivers a myriad of α-tertiary amines with high levels of enantioselectivities.

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.

Development of chiral organic materials with a strong chiroptical response is crucial to advance technologies based on circularly polarized luminescence, enantioselective sensing, or unique optical signatures in anti-counterfeiting. The progress in the field is hampered by the lack of structure-property relationships that would help designing new chiral molecules. Here, we address this challenge by synthesis and investigation of two chiral macrocycles that integrate in their structure a pseudo-meta [2.
