This study analyzes the feasibility of utilizing the catalytic and enantioselective [4 + 2] cycloaddition of sterically demanding heterocycle-incorporated siloxydienes to yield polycyclic skeletons with a tetrasubstituted carbon. A catalyst derived from lanthanide triflimide enabled the reaction. The mechanistic investigations and transformations of the adducts are also discussed. The proposed approach facilitates the synthesis of intricate polysubstituted skeletons, each with multiple contiguous chiral centers, thereby aiding in the production of diverse hydrocarbazoles for drug discovery purposes.

The development of a metallic copper-based catalyst system remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of highly stable, active, and reusable Cu0 catalyst for the carboboration of alkynes using carbon electrophiles and bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) as chemical feedstocks to afford di- and trisubstituted vinylboronate esters in a regio- and stereoselective manner with appreciable turnover number (TON) of up to 2535 under mild reaction conditions. This three-component coupling reaction works well with a variety of substituted electrophiles and alkynes with broad functional group tolerance.

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.

A straightforward and highly diastereoselective synthesis of -4-hydroxypiperidines is presented. This method allows access to C2 and C4 substituted piperidines, bearing a tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenter at C4. -Disubstituted homoallylic amines and ketoaldehydes as carbonyl partners have been rarely used in aza-Prins cyclizations, expanding the scope of this reaction.

This study introduces a novel methodology for the direct construction of tetrasubstituted centers, utilizing secondary C(sp)-H and C(sp)-H substrates, specifically indolin-2-ones and indoles, through an innovative oxidative cross-coupling reaction. Facilitated by a straightforward copper salt catalyst, this reaction proceeds efficiently at a mild temperature of 40 °C under operationally streamlined conditions. Emphasizing sustainability, this method is notably enhanced by employing air (molecular oxygen) as an eco-friendly oxidant.
