A highly enantioselective halogenation/semipinacol rearrangement of isatin-derived allylic alcohols has been developed with a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Sc complex as catalyst. This strategy involved a pivotal stereodivergent kinetic resolution process and provided a facile and efficient entry to optically active halo-substituted quinolone derivatives and quinoline alkaloids with a quaternary stereocenter simultaneously under mild reaction conditions. Based on the control experiments together with kinetic studies and DFT calculations, a possible catalytic cycle was proposed to illustrate the reaction process and enantiocontrol.

On the basis of the chiral ion pair between catalytic anionic stereogenic-at-cobalt(III) complexes and halonium ion intermediates, an asymmetric halogenation/semipinacol rearrangement reaction has been established using -bromosuccinimide as the halogen source. This protocol provides an alternative approach for accessing a diverse set of chiral β-bromocycloketones in good yields with high enantioselectivities (≤96% yield, 95.5:4.

A novel halogenation/semipinacol rearrangement of α-diazo alcohol catalyzed by Lewis base has been developed through a carbene-free mechanism. This semipinacol transposition, initiated by an electrophilic halogenation (X = Cl(+), Br(+), and I(+)) of diazo carbon event, furnished a convenient synthetic route for the efficient synthesis of α-halo-quaternary ketones under mild conditions.

A novel asymmetric halogenation/semipinacol rearrangement reaction catalyzed by cinchona alkaloid derivatives was developed. Two types of β-haloketones (X = Br, Cl) were obtained with up to 95% yield and 99% enantiomeric excess. The desired (+) and (-) enantiomers of the β-haloketones were readily obtained.
