Catalytic cycloalumination of (3β,5α)-3-vinylcholestane and (3α,5α)-3-allylcholestane with Et3Al catalyzed by Cp2ZrCl2 was performed for the first time to give previously unknown aluminacyclopentanes in ∼90% yield; these products were converted in situ to carbo- and heterocyclic (5α)-cholestane derivatives.

Phosphorescent gold(iii) complexes possess long-lived emissive excited states, making them ideal for use as molecular sensors and photosensitizers for organic transformations. Literature reports indicate that gold(iii) emitters exhibit good catalytic activity in homogeneous photochemical reactions. Heterogeneous metal-organic framework (MOF)-supported gold(iii) photocatalysts are considered to show high recyclability in photochemical reactions and potentially provide new selectivities.

Cyclometalated ruthenium(II)-complex-catalyzed selective oxidative scission of olefins to carbonyls is described. A strong C-donor ligand, paired with a rigid backbone and redox activity of ruthenium, provided high catalytic activity and a long lifetime for olefin oxidation. The catalyst tolerates numerous functional groups and applies to challenging biomass-, natural-product-, sugar-, amino-acid-, and fatty-acid-derived substrates.

Oxidative cleavage of olefins is a useful reaction in organic synthesis. The most well-known catalytic system is the osmium based Lemieux-Johnson catalyst, which generally requires high catalyst loading and tends to suffer from rapid overoxidation to produce the acid predominantly. Hence, the development of a mild, general, and selective method toward the oxidative cleavage of alkenes to carbonyl compounds is highly desired.
