A cobalt-catalyzed deuteration of amidoacrylates using deuterated methanol afforded α,β-dideuterio-α-amino esters in excellent enantiomeric ratios (mostly >95 : 5) and almost complete deuteration (99 %). The new protocol was used to prepare dideuterio-α-amino acid fragments in some drugs. Furthermore, the stereoselective deuteration was applied in a concise synthesis of dideuterio l-DOPA.

One-Pot Cobalt- or Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Ring-Opening Hydrosilylation/Hydroboration of Arylidenecyclopropanes.

An operationally convenient cobalt-catalyzed one-pot one-step hydrosilylation/hydroboration reaction of arylidenecyclopropanes is developed to access racemic 1,4-borylsilylalkanes. In addition, the corresponding asymmetric reaction is developed with a chiral copper catalyst to prepare 1,4-borylsilylalkanes with high enantioselectivity by a one-pot two-step procedure. Mechanistic studies reveal that this difunctionalization process begins with metal-hydride-catalyzed ring-opening hydrosilylation of arylidenecyclopropanes to generate homoallylsilane intermediates, followed by regio- or enantioselective metal-hydride-catalyzed hydroboration of homoallylsilanes to produce skipped borylsilylalkanes.

Cobalt-catalyzed enantioconvergent cross-coupling of C(sp)-H bonds with -generated sulfenate anions is achieved to access chiral sulfoxides, which are found in the structures of many biologically active agents. The more challenging aliphatic C-H bonds as well as sterically hindered substrates containing tertiary C-H bonds could also be tolerated well. Mechanistic studies indicate that the transformation could undergo a CoS(O)R-mediated single-electron transfer with -fluorocarboxamides, followed by a 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer and then a pivotal organocobalt(IV)-controlled enantioselective cross-coupling process.

Article Synopsis
- - Catalytic asymmetric hydroboration is a key method for making chiral organoboron compounds, particularly useful with alkenes, but it's less developed for allenes due to difficulties in selectivity control.
- - A new cobalt-catalyzed method improves the asymmetric dihydroboration of allenes using a two-ligand strategy, achieving high selectivity for creating chiral 1,4-diboronate products.
- - The mechanism involves an achiral ligand that facilitates the initial hydroboration, while a chiral ligand governs the subsequent isomerization and asymmetric hydroboration process, allowing for diverse applications and product transformations.

Selective functionalization of ubiquitous C-H bonds based on 1,-metal migration provides an attractive and sustainable route to access complex molecules from readily available precursors. Herein, we report a Co-catalyzed asymmetric reductive migratory Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) coupling between two readily available electrophiles, aryl (pseudo)halides and aldehydes, via an unprecedented through-space aryl-to-alkenyl 1,4-cobalt/hydride shift. The judicious choice of ligands is crucial for selectivity, leading to either ipso- or migratory NHK products with exquisite control of regio-, /-, and enantioselectivity.
