H heterolysis to generate well-defined nickel hydride-proton complexes was achieved by the 2 generation PNP-pincer nickel platform. The regioselective protonation in the ligand framework was demonstrated for the first time to highlight the importance of in-plane hindrance during the H splitting process.

The photocatalytic dearomative 1,4-hydroboration of naphthalenes with an N-heterocyclic carbene borane (NHC-BH) complex was reported herein with controllable regioselectivity and chemoselectivity. This protocol yielded a wide range of naphthalene derivatives bearing various functional groups, notably bioactive compounds. Hydroboration occurred through the cooperation of photoredox and hydrogen atom transfer via boryl radical addition to naphthalene and further selective protonation.

In the chemical synthesis or modification of saccharides, regioselective protection of the many similar OH groups in saccharides is necessary but remains a major challenge. In particular, the regio- and stereoselective conversion of C(1,2)-OH has great synthetic potential in carbohydrate synthesis but has largely remained untapped. Here, an in situ proton-producing system mediated by boronic acid was found and employed for site-selective ketalization of various unprotected saccharides.

DFT (M06-2X) calculations were used to study the NHC-catalyzed [3 + 3] cycloaddition of enals with aminoacrylates. The catalytic cycle begins with the binding of the NHC to enal. Subsequent intramolecular proton transfer generates the Breslow intermediate.

A novel protocol has been developed for the modular synthesis of polycarbonyl compounds by catalytic hydration of 1,3-diketone-tethered alkynes. The hydration process exhibits good regioselectivity and high yields at room temperature, avoiding the use of strong acids and noble metals and the requirement for elevated temperatures. Mechanistic insights suggest that the hydration proceeds through a concerted process of alkyne protonation and remote carbonyl participation.

Ene reductases (EREDs) catalyze asymmetric reduction with exquisite chemo-, stereo-, and regioselectivity. Recent discoveries led to unlocking other types of reactivities toward oxime reduction and reductive C-C bond formation. Exploring nontypical reactions can further expand the biocatalytic knowledgebase, and evidence alludes to yet another variant reaction where flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-bound ERs from the old yellow enzyme family (OYE) have unconventional activity with α,β-dicarbonyl substrates.
