Using Garner's aldehyde as a substrate, one-pot MAC hydroxyhomologation reactions proceeded in good yields and with anti selectivity for the first time (dr up to 9:1). The products were used to prepare a panel of protected derivatives of erythro-β-hydroxyaspartic acid and erythro-β-hydroxyasparagine as single enantiomers in a few steps.

Herein, we unveiled a regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of cyclobutylated phenothiazines, a unique class of structural congeners of phenothiazines visible-light-irradiated intermolecular [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction, from readily available naphthoquinones, 2-aminothiophenols, and styrenes, either in a two-step or three-component coupling process. By varying substitutions in all three coupling partners, a library of cyclobutylated phenothiazines, including late-stage derivatization with five commercial drugs, has been realized with up to 97% isolated yield. In contrast to the reported pathways, the developed [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition seems to proceed a 'photoinduced-electron-transfer' (PET) mechanism, which is well corroborated with the experimental observations, Rehm-Weller equation, and computation studies.

The direct utilization of carbon dioxide as an ideal one-carbon source in value-added chemical synthesis has garnered significant attention from the standpoint of global sustainability. In this regard, the photo/electrochemical reduction of CO into useful fuels and chemical feedstocks could offer a great promise for the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. However, challenges in product selectivity continue to limit the practical application of these systems.

We present herein a catalytic enantioconvergent diamination of racemic allylic alcohols with the construction of two C-N bonds and 1,3-nonadjacent stereocenters. This iridium/chiral phosphoric acid cooperative catalytic system operates through an atom-economical borrowing hydrogen amination/aza-Michael cascade, and converts readily available phenylenediamines and racemic allylic alcohols to 1,5-tetrahydrobenzodiazepines in high enantioselectivity. An intriguing solvent-dependent switch of diastereoselectivity was also observed.

L-Threonine aldolase (L-TA) is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible condensation of glycine and aldehydes to form β-hydroxy-α-amino acids. The combination of directed evolution and efficient high-throughput screening methods is an effective strategy for enhancing the enzyme's catalytic performance. However, few feasible high-throughput methods exist for engineering the C-stereoselectivity of L-TAs.

Asymmetric synthesis of 3-(3-indolomethyl)oxindoles through the addition of indole-substituted enolized ketoesters to 3-bromo-3-substituted oxindoles has been achieved using a ,'-dioxide/Ho(III) complex. A number of 3-(3-indolomethyl)oxindoles, which may possess biological activity, were obtained in good yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 97% yield, >19 : 1 dr, 98% ee). Furthermore, time-dependent reversal of diastereoselectivity enabled access to optically active diastereomers.
