Construction of vinylsilane building blocks is important for advancing the synthesis of complex small molecules and natural products. Herein, we report a highly regio- and stereoselective copper-catalyzed hydrosilylation of unsymmetrical internal aryl alkynes. The reaction is performed across a broad scope of internal aryl alkynes, providing exclusive access to α-vinylsilane alkenyl arene products, including several silylated small molecule drug analogs.

Biocatalysis provides access to synthetically challenging molecules and commercially and pharmaceutically relevant natural product analogs while adhering to principles of green chemistry. Cytochromes P450 (P450s) are amongst the most superlative and versatile oxidative enzymes found in nature and are desired regio- and stereoselective biocatalysts, particularly for structurally complex hydrocarbon skeletons. We used 10 genome-sequenced Streptomyces strains, selected based on their preponderance of P450s, to biotransform the bioactive diterpenoid abietic acid.

The [3 + 2] cycloaddition of dicyanoepoxides with benzylidene Meldrum's acid under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions was explored for the synthesis of trioxaspirodecanes. This method presents a highly diastereo- and regioselective route to spiro cycloadducts, delivering similar stereoselectivity to conventional reflux in toluene but with shorter reaction times and improved yields.

Pyridinium salts are amine surrogates that are abundant in nature and the redox active nature of the pyridinium salts allows them to serve as precursors for generating radical species under mild conditions that can be initiated by light, heat or metal catalysis. The stereoselective formation of products has always been a topic of interest for synthetic chemists worldwide. In this context, pyridinium salts can readily undergo single electron reduction to form a neutral radical, and the N-X bond's subsequent fragmentation furnishes the X radical without any harsh reaction conditions.

Multiple Diels-Alder reactions are a powerful method to construct large asymmetric scaffolds, but these reactions often produce numerous isomers. We now report a triple Diels-Alder reaction between a cyclic furan trimer and -substituted maleimides, achieving selective synthesis of a single asymmetric tris-adduct. The stereoselectivity of cycloaddition to π-extended furan derivatives was clarified by the experimental analysis of intermediates and theoretical calculations.
