- Iridium-Catalyzed Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Hydrogenation of Racemic β’-Keto-β-Amino Esters via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
-
An iridium/f-diaphos catalytic system for the enantioselective hydrogenation of α-substituted β-ketoesters via dynamic kinetic resolution is reported. The desired anti β’-hydroxy-β-amino esters were obtained in moderate to good yields (60–95%) with 72–99% ees and 91:9 to 99:1 drs. This protocol tolerates various functional groups and could be easily conducted on gram scale with lower catalyst loading (TON up to 9100). (Figure presented.).

- Amide/Ester Cross-Coupling via C-N/C-H Bond Cleavage: Synthesis of β-Ketoesters
-
Activated primary, secondary, and tertiary amides were coupled with enolizable esters in the presence of LiHMDS to obtain good yields of β-ketoesters at room temperature. Notably, this protocol provides an efficient, mild, and high chemoselectivity method

- Photoredox Catalysis of Aromatic β-Ketoesters for in Situ Production of Transient and Persistent Radicals for Organic Transformation
-
Radical formation is the initial step for conventional radical chemistry. Reported herein is a unified strategy to generate radicals in situ from aromatic β-ketoesters by using a photocatalyst. Under visible-light irradiation, a small amount of photocatalyst fac-Ir(ppy)3 generates a transient α-carbonyl radical and persistent ketyl radical in situ. In contrast to the well-established approaches, neither stoichiometric external oxidant nor reductant is required for this reaction. The synthetic utility is demonstrated by pinacol coupling of ketyl radicals and benzannulation of α-carbonyl radicals with alkynes to give a series of highly substituted 1-naphthols in good to excellent yields. The readily available photocatalyst, mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, and high functional-group tolerance make this reaction a useful synthetic tool.

- Cooperative Indium(III)/Silver(I) System for Oxidative Coupling/Annulation of 1,3-Dicarbonyls and Styrenes: Construction of Five-Membered Heterocycles
-
A cooperative indium(III)/silver(I) system for the synthesis of various five-membered heterocycles, including dihydrofurans, pyrroles, spirolactones, and spiroiminolactones, through the sequential oxidative coupling/annulation reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with styrenes has been developed. Four different heterocyclic systems were successfully synthesized depending on the substitution pattern of the substrates using readily available starting materials. This system has the advantages of a broad substrate scope, moderate to good chemical yields, an operationally easy and simple procedure, and short reaction times. (Figure presented.) .
