The sense of asymmetric ortholithiation directed by a chiral oxazoline may be inverted simply by the choice of achiral ligand. Comparison of results with a number of ferrocenyl oxazoline derivatives suggests that lithiation takes place by coordination to the oxazoline nitrogen irrespective of the ligand used.

1,2--Aryl furanosides are prevalent in nature and exhibit significant biological activities. The 1,2- configuration is less favorable in terms of stereoelectronic and steric effects, making the synthesis of this type of skeleton highly challenging. Traditional methods for the synthesis of 1,2--aryl furanosides usually require complicated protection manipulations, resulting in lengthy synthetic routes and low overall efficiency.

The precise asymmetric photochemical transformation of organic compounds containing multiple reactive sites presents significant progress in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report an unprecedented visible-light-induced cascade transformation of tropolone cyclic triene derivatives by using chiral photoactive metal-organic cages (cPMOCs) as enzyme-mimicking multipocket photocatalysts. The cage-confined photocatalysis promotes three successive elementary steps, .

The C(sp)-H bond oxygenation of a variety of cyclopropane containing hydrocarbons with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by manganese complexes containing aminopyridine tetradentate ligands was carried out. Oxidations were performed in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) using different manganese catalysts and carboxylic acid co-ligands, where steric and electronic properties were systematically modified. Functionalization selectively occurs at the most activated C-H bonds that are α- to cyclopropane, providing access to carboxylate or 2,2,2-trifluoroethanolate transfer products, with no competition, in favorable cases, from the generally dominant hydroxylation reaction.
