A precomplex of a chiral α,β-unsaturated ester and a bulky aluminum oxide is crucial to setting the diastereoselectivity in the 1,4-addition of a Grignard or organolithium reagent. This approach based on chiral recognition broadens the potential of the strategies relying on stoichiometric reagents.
Enantioselective β-Protonation of Enals via a Shuttling Strategy

Remote asymmetric protonation is a longstanding challenge due to the small size of protons. Reactions involving electron-deficient olefins pose a further difficulty due to the electrophilic nature of these substrates. We report a shuttling system that delivers a proton in a highly enantioselective manner to the β-carbon of enals using a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyst. Choices of a Br?nsted base shuttle and a Br?nsted acid cocatalyst are critical for highly stereoselective β-protonation of the homoenolate intermediate and regeneration of the NHC catalyst results in functionalization of the carbonyl group. Thioesters with a β-chiral center were prepared in a redox-neutral transformation with an excellent yield and ee.

The selective isomerization of strained heterocyclic compounds is an important tool in organic synthesis. An unprecedented regioselective isomerization of 2,2-disubstituted oxetanes into homoallylic alcohols is described. The use of tris(pentafluorophenyl

Nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of several types of alkenes proceeds in high enantioselectivity, using acetic acid or water as the hydrogen source and indium powder as electron donor. The scope of alkenes herein include α,β-unsaturated esters, n
CuH-Catalyzed Asymmetric Reduction of α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids to β-Chiral Aldehydes
Zhou, Yujing,Bandar, Jeffrey S.,Liu, Richard Y.,Buchwald, Stephen L.
, p. 606 - 609 (2018/01/26)
The copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to saturated aldehydes is reported. This protocol provides a new method to access a variety of β-chiral aldehydes in good yields, with high levels of enantioselectivity and broad functional group tolerance. A reaction pathway involving a ketene intermediate is proposed based on preliminary mechanistic studies and density functional theory calculations.

Li, Jia-Qi,Liu, Jianguo,Krajangsri, Suppachai,Chumnanvej, Napasawan,Singh, Thishana,Andersson, Pher G.
, p. 8342 - 8349 (2018/05/23)
In this study, a series of γ,γ-disubstituted and β,γ-disubstituted allylic alcohols were prepared and successfully hydrogenated using suitable N,P-based Ir complexes. High yields and excellent enantioselectivities were obtained for most of the substrates studied. This investigation also revealed the effect of the acidity of the N,P?Ir-complexes on the acid-sensitive allylic alcohols. DFT ΔpKa calculations were used to explain the effect of the N,P-ligand on the acidity of the corresponding Ir-complex. The selectivity model of the reaction was used to accurately predict the absolute configuration of the hydrogenated alcohols.
Enantioselective Hydrogenation of β,β-Disubstituted Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids under Base-Free Conditions

An additive-free enantioselective hydrogenation of β,β-disubstituted unsaturated carboxylic acids catalyzed by the Rh-(R,R)-f-spiroPhos complex has been developed. Under mild conditions, a wide scope of β,β-disubstituted unsaturated carboxylic acids were hydrogenated to the corresponding chiral carboxylic acids with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.3% ee). This methodology was also successfully applied to the synthesis of the pharmaceutical molecule indatraline.
Iridium catalysts with Chiral bicyclic pyridine-phosphane ligands for the asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins
Quan, Xu,Parihar, Vijay Singh,Bera, Milan,Andersson, Pher G.
, p. 140 - 146 (2014/01/06)
New bicyclic pyridine-phosphane ligands were prepared, and their iridium complexes were evaluated in asymmetric hydrogenation of trisubstituted olefins with non-coordinating and weakly coordinating substituents. The iridium catalysts showed high reactivity and enantioselectivity for both types of olefins. New pyridine-derived N,P-chelated iridium catalysts were prepared and evaluated in the asymmetric hydrogenation of trisubstituted olefins. High conversions and enantioselectivities were obtained.

Ir-phosphinomethyl-oxazoline complexes have been identified as efficient, highly enantioselective catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of 3,3-disubstituted allylic alcohols and related homoallylic alcohols. In contrast to other N,P ligand complexes, which require weakly coordinating solvents, such as dichloromethane, these catalysts perform well in more ecofriendly THF or 2-MeTHF. Their synthetic potential was demonstrated with the formal total synthesis of four bisabolane sesquiterpenes. Particularly high enantioselectivity values in the asymmetric hydrogenation of 3,3-disubstituted allylic alcohols and related homoallylic alcohols have been achieved with Ir-phosphinomethyloxazoline catalysts. In contrast to other N,P-ligand complexes, which require weakly coordinating solvents, such as CH 2Cl2, these catalysts perform well in more ecofriendly THF or 2-MeTHF (see scheme; CODa =a 1,5-cyclooctadiene).

Efficient isomerization: The title reaction was catalyzed by the [RuCl 2{(S)-tol-binap}{(R)-dbapen}]/KOH system in ethanol at 25°C (see scheme). A series of E- and Z-configured aromatic and aliphatic allylic alcohols, including a simple primary alkyl-substituted compound (E)-3-methyl-2-hepten-1-ol, were transformed into the chiral aldehydes with at least 99 % ee. dbapen=2-dibutylamino-1-phenylethylamine, tol-binap=2,2′- bis(di-4-tolylphosphanyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl.
