A Pd/C-catalyzed dehydrogenative [3 + 2] cycloaddition is described for the diastereoswitchable synthesis of hexahydropyrrolo[2,1-]isoquinolines by altering solvents. The reaction proceeds through a sequential Pd/C-catalyzed dehydrogenative formation of azomethine ylides from tetrahydroisoquinoline acetates and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with 2-nitroethenylbenzenes. This method displayed tunable diastereoselectivity, a broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility.

Catalytic asymmetric conjugate additions of carbon nucleophiles have emerged as a potent tool for constructing multi-stereogenic molecules with precise stereochemical control. This review explores the concept of diastereodivergence in such reactions, focusing on strategies to achieve selective access to diverse diastereomeric products upon carbon-carbon bond formation. Drawing from a rich array of examples, we delve into key approaches for controlling the stereochemical outcome of these transformations, including alteration of alkene geometry, fine-tuning of reaction parameters, synergistic catalysis, and isomerization of conjugate adducts.

Herein, we disclose the first temperature-dependent diastereodivergent [4 + 3] annulation of ferrocene--tosylamides C-H activation with allenes by a Rh catalyst. At room temperature, Rh-catalyzed [4 + 3] annulation selectively offered a kinetically controlled diastereomer [>20:1 diastereomeric ratio (dr)], whereas at 60 °C, a thermodynamically controlled diastereomer was obtained exclusively with >20:1 dr.

The catalytic asymmetric diastereodivergent synthesis of axially chiral 2-alkenylindoles was established via chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed addition reactions of C3-unsubstituted 2-alkenylindoles with -hydroxybenzyl alcohols under different reaction conditions. Using this strategy, two series of 2-alkenylindoles bearing both axial and central chirality were synthesized in a diastereodivergent fashion with moderate to high yields and good stereoselectivities (up to 99% yield, 95:5 er, >95:5 dr). Moreover, theoretical calculations were performed on the key transition states leading to different stereoisomers, which provided an in-depth understanding of the origin of the observed stereoselectivity and diastereodivergence of the products under different reaction conditions.

Rocaglaol, a representative flavagline, has attracted significant attention because of its unique chemical structure and biological activities. This paper reports a mild and scalable copper-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of benzofuran-3(2H)-ones to α,β-unsaturated thioamides. This method allows for the concise synthesis of all possible stereoisomers of a key intermediate of rocaglaol and its derivatives in a highly diastereo- and enantioselective manner using different chiral phosphine ligands.
