The first catalytic enantioselective γ-boryl substitution of CF -substituted alkenes is reported. A series of CF -substituted alkenes was treated with a diboron reagent in the presence of a copper(I)/Josiphos catalyst to afford the corresponding optically active γ,γ-gem-difluoroallylboronates in high enantioselectivity. The thus obtained products could be readily converted into the corresponding difluoromethylene-containing homoallylic alcohols using highly stereospecific allylation reactions.

Herein, an organocatalytic asymmetric desymmetrizing [4+2] cycloaddition/base-mediated oxidative aromatization reaction sequence has been developed between spirophthalide 2,5-cyclohexadienones and β-methyl cinnamaldehydes. The reaction proceeds through chiral dienamine intermediate formation, and the densely functionalized spirocyclic isobenzofuranone-embedded chiral arenes were formed in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. A 2-fold desymmetrization reaction was also performed, and the products were obtained in high enantioselectivities.

Etoxazole, a widely used mite growth inhibitor, contains a chiral center in its chemical structure, resulting in two mirror-image enantiomers. These enantiomers of etoxazole display significant differences in biological activity and environmental behavior. In bioassays conducted against , it was observed that S-etoxazole demonstrated approximately 279.

Compared with chiral β-amino phosphorus compounds, which can be easily derived from natural optically pure α-amino acids, obtaining chiral β-amino phosphorus derivatives remains a challenge. These derivatives, which cannot be derived from chiral natural amino acids, possess unique biological activities or potential catalytic activities. Herein, highly enantioselective hydrogenation for the preparation of chiral β-amino phosphorus derivatives from -β-enamido phosphorus compounds is reported by using a green and low-cost earth-abundant metal nickel catalyst (13 examples of 99% ee).

Chiral diaryl alcohols, such as (4-chlorophenyl)(pyridin-2-yl)methanol, are important intermediates for pharmaceutical synthesis. However, using alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) in the asymmetric reduction of diaryl ketones to produce the corresponding alcohols is challenging due to steric hindrance in the substrate binding pockets of the enzymes. In this study, the steric hindrance of the ADH from Geotrichum candidum NBRC 4597 (G.

Here, we report the enantioselective total syntheses of four diepoxy--kaurane diterpenoids including (-)-Macrocalin B, (-)-Acetyl-macrocalin B, and (-)-Isoadenolin A and the revised structure of (-)-Phyllostacin I, which hinges on the strategic design of a regioselective and stereospecific trapping of a highly reactive [3.2.1]-bridgehead enone intermediate via a tethered intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.
