A practical and atom-economic protocol for the stereoselective preparation of various 1,4- and 1,3-diene skeletons through iridium-catalyzed directed olefinic C-H allylation and alkenylation of NH-Ts acrylamides in water was developed. This reaction tolerated a wide scope of substrates under simple reaction conditions and enabled successful gram-scale preparation. Furthermore, an asymmetric variant of this reaction giving enantioenriched 1,4-dienes was achieved employing a chiral diene-iridium complex as the catalyst.

Cycloadditions are widely accepted as a group of reactions that rapidly generate molecular complexity. Being highly atom economic and often predictable, these reactions can generate up to four stereogenic centers and two C-C (or C-X) bonds in one reaction step. During the last two decades, asymmetric aminocatalysis has shown to be a successful strategy for controlling stereoselectivity and enabling reactivity of cycloaddition reactions.

Organophosphorus compounds are fundamental for the chemical industry due to their broad applications across multiple sectors, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. Despite their high importance, the sustainable and cost-effective synthesis of organophoshoryl derivatives remains very challenging. Here, we report the first successful regio- and stereoselective hydrophosphorylation of terminal allenamides using an affordable copper catalyst system.

We disclose a sustainable and versatile synthetic strategy for the highly chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective hydrofunctionalizations of ynamides, through its activation by a solvent, HFIP, to access a wide variety of stereodefined ketene ,, ,, ,, and , acetals in high yield at room temperature. The reaction proceeded through the formation of the reactive keteniminium ion intermediate, formed via protonation at the β-carbon of ynamide by HFIP, followed by an attack of a nucleophile (-addition) at the α-carbon. When ynamides are treated with only HFIP at room temperature, the HFIP addition products of ynamides are formed in a 100% atom-economic fashion; however, in the presence of a stronger -/-/-/-based nucleophile, the corresponding -hydroheterofunctionalized products are formed.

The synthesis of stereodefined tetrasubstituted alkenes bearing four different functional groups is challenging. Herein, we disclose a 100% atom-economic and highly regio- and stereoselective halo-chalcogenations, in particular, chlorosulfenylation, bromosulfenylation, chloroselenation, and bromoselenation, of ynamides in toluene at room temperature under an aerobic atmosphere for the synthesis of a wide variety of stereodefined tetrasubstituted alkenes bearing four different functional groups in excellent yields. Notably, all the reactions are highly efficient and furnished the desired products in excellent yield (average yield >96%) and stereoselectivity (/ = 90:10 to >99:1) within a short time (15-30 min).

α,β-Diamino acids are important structural motifs and building blocks for numerous bioactive natural products, peptidomimetics, and pharmaceuticals, yet efficient asymmetric synthesis to access these stereoarrays remains a challenge. Herein, we report the development of a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that is engineered to catalyze stereoselective Mannich-type reactions between free α-amino acids and enolizable cyclic imines. This biocatalyst enabled one-step asymmetric enzymatic synthesis of the unusual pyrrolidine-containing amino acid L-tambroline at gram-scale with high enantio- and diastereocontrol.
