Efficient stereo- and regioselective O-glycosylation methods remain essential to capacitate the studies of sugars and sugar derivatives in various disciplines. In this work, we demonstrated an operationally simple and cost-effective strategy for the synthesis of 1,2-trans glycosides by the activation of armed O-glycosyl trichloroacetimidates donor using zinc tetrafluoroborate. This mild, transition metal-free, and scalable approach allowed stereo- and regioselective synthesis of β-glycosides with a wide range of acceptors containing various protecting groups/functionalities. This method is exemplified by synthesizing a branched trisaccharide fragment related to the cell wall O-polysaccharide of E. Coli O27.

Herein we report a cobalt-catalyzed hydroglycosylation of terminal alkynes, employing bench-stable ortho-iodobiphenyl (oIB) substituted sulfides as glycosyl donors. This reaction occurs with high stereo- and regioselectivity to afford E-configured vinyl α-C-glycosides, a class of compounds nontrivial to access by previous methods. The use of a bis(oxazoline) ligand with bulky side chains is critical for the high selectivities observed.

Divergent synthesis of valuable molecules through common starting materials and metal catalysis represents a longstanding challenge and a significant research goal. We here describe chemodivergent, highly enantio- and regioselective nickel-catalyzed reductive and dehydrogenative coupling reactions of alkynes, aldehydes, and silanes. A single chiral Ni-based catalyst is leveraged to directly prepare three distinct enantioenriched products (silyl-protected trisubstituted chiral allylic alcohols, oxasilacyclopentenes, and silicon-stereogenic oxasilacyclopentenes) in a single chemical operation.

A palladium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cyclization of 1,6-enynes with unsymmetrical alkynes has been successfully accomplished, resulting in the formation of a series of fused tricyclic hydronaphthofurans with high stereo- and regioselectivity in a single step. This reaction demonstrates 100% atomic economy and exhibits a broad substrate scope.

Kalmanol (1) is the first isolated kalmane-type grayanoid featuring a highly oxidized 5/8/5/5 tetracyclic carbon skeleton and 9 contiguous stereocenters. We have accomplished the efficient and asymmetric total synthesis of 1 in 16 steps from known compounds (20 steps from commercially available starting materials) by a modular synthetic strategy. A tetracyclic intermediate was prepared in a convergent manner through a Grignard reaction and a subsequent ring-closing metathesis reaction of two enantiomerically enriched fragments.
