Herein, we present an economical method for highly enantioselective and diastereoselective Cu-BINAP-catalysed reductive coupling of alkoxyallenes with a range of electronically and structurally diverse ketones to afford 1,2-,-diols, using PMHS as the hydride source. This reductive coupling has also been efficiently employed in the enantioselective desymmetrization of prochiral cyclic ketones harboring quaternary centres, in high yields with exclusive diastereoselectivity. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are used to elucidate that the reaction is facilitated by a kinetically favourable "open" -enolate copper-alkoxyallene conformer, occurring at a lower Gibbs free energy barrier (by 3.

In this study, a series of chiral amido-oxazoline ligands was synthesized with a primary focus on immobilizing the most effective ligands on MCM-41 mesoporous material. Following several attempts, the -nitro group of the chiral amido-oxazoline ligands was successfully reduced to amino group, enabling their immobilization on MCM-41. The resulting chiral heterogeneous amido-oxazoline ligands were characterized using various techniques, including FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, TEM, EDX, and BET-BJH, confirming the successful immobilization of the amido-oxazoline ligands.

Both enantiomers of functionalized Hajos-Parrish ketone (HPK) analogs were prepared with excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities using the same chiral catalyst under two slightly different conditions. In condition A, dioxane was used as the solvent with 3 equivalents of water. In condition B, acetonitrile was used as the solvent with 30 equivalents of water, followed by epimerization with a base in a one-pot.

Enantioselective synthesis of (spiro)cyclobutane derivatives poses significant challenges yet holds promising applications for both synthetic and medicinal chemistry. We report here a nickel-catalyzed asymmetric syn-hydrometalative 4-exo-trig cyclization of 1,4-alkynones to synthesize alkenyl cyclobutanols with a tetrasubstituted stereocenter. This strategy features a broad substrate scope, delivering a variety of trifluoromethyl-containing rigid (spiro)carbocycle skeletons in good yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 84 % yield and 98.
