An intermolecular sulfenoamination reaction utilizing a stable sulfur precursor with a broad range of alkene structures is described. More importantly, these reactions proceed in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner to afford interesting heterocyclic motifs ready for biological studies. In addition, a highly regiodivergent approach to access the opposite regioisomers for styrene derivatives was also developed.

The Lewis acid-catalyzed coupling of alkenes and aldehydes presents a modern, versatile synthetic alternative to classical carbonyl addition chemistry, offering exceptional regio- and stereoselectivity. In this work, we present a comprehensive computational investigation into the reaction mechanism of this transformation. Our findings confirm the occurrence of an enantioselective trans-annular [1,5]-hydride shift step and demonstrate that the enantioselectivity of the reaction arises predominantly from steric clashes between functional groups in the cyclization step.

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been widely employed for various biomedical applications owing to its biodegradability and biocompatibility. The discovery of the stereocomplex formation between enantiomeric alternating PLGA pairs underscored its potential as high-performance biodegradable materials with diverse material properties and biodegradability. Herein, we have established a regio- and stereoselective ring-opening polymerization approach for the synthesis of stereocomplexed isoenriched alternating PLGA from racemic methyl-glycolide (rac-MG).

As a class of readily available and multifunctional building blocks, the chemistry of 4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates remains to be explored. Presented herein is a palladium-catalysed cascade transformative reaction between 4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates and -functionalised activated alkenes. Achiral 1,1-bisalkyl-4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates undergo highly regioselective propargylic substitution with -hydroxyphenyl-tethered activated alkenes, and an auto-tandem vinylogous addition, unusual central-carbon Tsuji-Trost alkylation, protonation and β-H elimination process is followed to furnish fused and spirocyclic frameworks with high structural complexity.
