A Rh-catalyzed highly chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of 2-CF-chromen/thiochromen-4-ones was successfully established achieving excellent selectivity and high turnover numbers. Under mild conditions, a series of 2-CF-chromen-4-ones were hydrogenated to provide the corresponding chiral 2-CF-chroman-4-ones with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.9% ee) and achieve high turnover numbers (TON of up to 11,800). Moreover, the obtained hydrogenation products were also successfully transformed into other derivatives including the important intermediate of plasmepsin inhibitors with maintained enantiopurity.

ConspectusThe manipulation of strained rings is a powerful strategy for accessing the valuable chemical frameworks present in natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Aziridines, the smallest N-containing heterocycles, have long served as building blocks for constructing more complex amine-containing scaffolds. Traditionally, the reactivity of typical aziridines has been focused on ring-opening by nucleophiles or the formation of 1,3-dipoles.

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 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.

Organocatalytic chemo- and enantioselective reactions of 2-amino-3-subsituted indoles have been achieved for the first time. Via asymmetric allylic alkylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates, organocatalytic enantioselective dearomatization of 2-amino-3-subsituted indoles afforded an array of enantioenriched 3,3-disubstituted indolin-2-imines bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter in 34-79% yields with 61-91% ee. With BocO as reaction partner, the organocatalytic enantioselective -acylation of 2-amino-3-subsituted indoles was established to furnish C-N axially chiral products in 22-98% yields with 73-92% ee.
