The asymmetric hydrophosphination of cyclopropenes with phosphines is of much interest and importance, but has remained hardly explored to date probably because of the lack of suitable catalysts. We report here the diastereo- and enantioselective hydrophosphination of 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes with phosphines by a chiral lanthanocene catalyst bearing the C -symmetric 5,6-dioxy-4,7-trans-dialkyl-substituted tetrahydroindenyl ligands. This protocol offers a selective and efficient route for the synthesis of a new family of chiral phosphinocyclopropane derivatives, featuring 100 % atom efficiency, good diastereo- and enantioselectivity, broad substrate scope, and no need for a directing group.

Direct synthesis of enantioenriched scaffolds with multiple adjacent stereocenters remains an important yet challenging task. Herein, we describe a highly diastereo- and enantioselective Cu-catalyzed alkylboration of cyclopropenes, with less reactive alkyl iodides as electrophiles, for the efficient synthesis of -substituted borylated cyclopropanes bearing three consecutive stereocenters. This protocol features mild conditions, a broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance, affording an array of chiral borylated cyclopropanes in good to high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

Enantioselective hydrogenation of tetrasubstituted alkenes to form 1,2-contiguous stereocenters is a particularly appealing but highly challenging transformation in asymmetric catalysis. Despite the notable progress achieved in enantioselective hydrogenation over the past decades, enantioselective hydrogenation of all-carbon tetrasubstituted alkenes containing multiple alkyl groups remains an unsolved challenge. Here, we report a rhodium-catalyzed highly diastereo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of diverse acyclic multisubstituted alkenes under mild conditions.

Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) reactions offer a mild approach for the formation of alcohol motifs through radical-polar crossover-based pathways from various radical precursors. However, the application of multicomponent NHK-type reactions, which allow the formation of multiple bonds in a single step, has been largely restricted to bulky alkyl radical precursors, thus limiting their expanded utilization. Herein, we disclose a general three-component NHK-type reaction enabled by delayed radical-polar crossover, which efficiently tolerates a plethora of radical precursors that were previously unavailable.

A highly regio-, enantio- and diastereo-selective strategy involving initial enantioselective conjugate addition to 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles serves as a key step for the desymmetrization of 2,5-cyclohexadienones has been disclosed. We have designed a new class of 2,5-cyclohexadienones appended with 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles to undergo organocatalytic asymmetric double or triple conjugate addition in a domino sequence depending on the substrate type leading to desymmetrization of the 2,5-cyclohexadienone core. The developed protocol allows the construction of a valuable hydrophenanthrene core or a unique bridged scaffold bearing multiple chiral centers with excellent enantio- (up to >99.

A dual photoredox/cobalt-catalyzed protocol for chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective reductive coupling of 1,1-disubstituted allenes and cyclobutenes through chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective oxidative cyclization followed by stereoselective protonation promoted by a chiral phosphine-cobalt complex is presented. Such process represents an unprecedented reaction pathway for cobalt catalysis that enables selective transformation of the less sterically congested alkenes of 1,1-disubstituted allenes with cyclobutenes, incorporating a broad scope of tetrasubstituted alkenes into the cyclobutane scaffolds in up to 86 % yield, >98 : 2 chemo- and regioselectivity, >98 : 2 dr and >99.5:0.
