The transition-metal-free domino reaction between alkenylboronic acids and N-tosylhydrazones from o-(2-oxoalkyl)- and o-(3-oxoalkyl)benzonitriles leads to β,γ-unsaturated indanones and tetralones featuring an α-"all-carbon" quaternary center. The employment of derivatives of α-substituted cyclopentanones and cyclohexanones led to the stereoselective preparation of β,γ-unsaturated tetrahydrocyclopenta[ a]inden-8(1 H)-ones, hexahydrofluorenones, and hexahydroanthracenones as cis-fused single stereoisomers. A domino sequence involving diazo compound formation/reductive alkenylation/1,3-borotropic rearrangement/intramolecular bora-aza-ene reaction is proposed to justify the formation of the products as well as the stereoselectivity.

The chiral binaphthol-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of alkenylboronic acids and heteroarylboronic acids to cyclic -sulfonyl ketimines is reported, providing the 1,4-addition products in high yields and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). This mild, scalable catalytic system exhibits high efficiency and broad substrate scopes. Additionally, arylboronic acids were viable nucleophiles under more forcing conditions.

Density functional theory calculations have been performed to investigate the mechanism for the BINOL-catalyzed asymmetric homologation of alkenylboronic acids with CF-diazomethane. The reaction proceeds via a chiral BINOL ester of the alkenylboronic acid substrate. The calculations reveal a complex scenario for the formation of the chiral BINOL-alkenylboronate species, which is the key intermediate in the catalytic process.

Article Synopsis
- - The study discusses a BINOL-catalyzed process that allows for the enantioselective addition of organic boronic acids to specific ketones, resulting in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities, reaching up to 99% enantiomeric excess (ee).
- - This method uniquely avoids the formation of unwanted 1,2-addition products, focusing on creating a chiral center at the β-position of the ketones instead.
- - Additionally, the procedure is characterized by mild reaction conditions, a wide range of applicable substrates, and compatibility with various types of boronic acids, making it suitable for larger-scale production.

The use of synergistic catalytic strategy can usually circumvent the intrinsic limitations of one catalytic system. In this communication, we disclose a cooperative catalysis strategy of manganese and iminium catalysis to realize selective hydroalkenylation of unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. Its success stems from the LUMO activation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds with secondary amines as the organocatalyst and the synergistic HOMO activation of alkenylboronic acids with Mn (CO) Br .
