A Ni-catalyzed asymmetric reductive cross-coupling between vinyl bromides and benzyl chlorides has been developed. This method provides direct access to enantioenriched products bearing aryl-substituted tertiary allylic stereogenic centers from simple, stable starting materials. A broad substrate scope is achieved under mild reaction conditions that preclude the pregeneration of organometallic reagents and the regioselectivity issues commonly associated with asymmetric allylic arylation.

Highly functionalized xanthenes possess an impressive range of bioactivities and daunting synthetic challenge due to their unique ring systems and stereocenters. Here, we report an unprecedented ketyl radicals-induced skeletal rearrangement reaction of spirodihydrobenzofurans, enabled by zero-valent iron as reducing agents via photoredox catalysis, facilitating the facile preparation of various highly functionalized xanthenes. The features of this protocol include high chemo- and regioselectivity, exceptionally mild conditions, a broad substrate scope, scalability to gram-scale quantities, and consistent delivery of good to excellent yields.

Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) are garnering immense attention for their capability to operate without the expensive elements required by lithium-ion batteries. Phenylenediamine serves as a versatile and sustainable resource, enabling the efficient preparation of both cathode and anode materials through precise molecular control and straightforward synthesis. The innovative asymmetrical DIBs based on amine-rich poly(phenylenediamine) cathodes and imine-rich poly(phenylenediamine) anodes enable oxidative and reductive states, providing a transition metal-free rechargeable battery.

Herein we report a convenient access to asymmetrically substituted, well soluble pentacene derivatives synthesized from commercially available 5,7,12,14-pentacenetetrone via reductive one step functionalization. Zinc or potassium are used as reducing agents and the reduced intermediates are trapped with electrophiles such as acetyl, triisopropylsilyl or cationic methyl synthons. The reduction allows for an unsymmetric functionalization whilst one dione moiety is maintained due to partial reduction.

We present a comprehensive account on the evolution of a synthetic platform for a subfamily of ent-pimaranes. For the most complex member, norflickinflimiod C, five distinct strategies relying on either cationic or radical polyene cyclizations to construct the requisite tricyclic carbon scaffold were explored. Insights from early and late stage oxidative and reductive dearomatization studies ultimately led to a mild, rhodium-catalyzed arene hydrogenation for the final synthetic route.

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of benzo-fused heteroarenes generally provides partially hydrogenated products wherein the heteroaryl ring is preferentially reduced, such as quinoline hydrogenation, leading to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Herein, we report a carbocycle-selective hydrogenation of fused -heteroarenes (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, etc.) using the Ru complex of a chiral spiroketal-based diphosphine (SKP) as the catalyst, affording the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro products in high chemoselectivities.
