Iridium-catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones with formic acid was developed using a prolinol-phosphine chiral ligand. Cooperative action of the iridium atom and the ligand through alcohol-alkoxide interconversion is crucial to facilitate the transfer hydrogenation. Various ketones including alkyl aryl ketones, ketoesters, and an aryl heteroaryl ketone were competent substrates. An attractive feature of this catalysis is efficient discrimination between the alkyl and aryl substituents of the ketones, promoting hydrogenation with the identical sense of enantioselection regardless of steric demand of the alkyl substituent and thus resulting in a rare case of highly enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of tert-alkyl aryl ketones. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the sp3-C?H/π interaction between an sp3-C?H bond of the prolinol-phosphine ligand and the aryl substituent of the ketone is crucial for the enantioselection in combination with O?H???O/sp3-C?H???O two-point hydrogen-bonding between the chiral ligand and carbonyl group.

A hybrid transition-metal/radical process is described that results in the addition of organozinc reagents and alkyl halides across alkenyl boron reagents in an enantioselective catalytic fashion. The reaction can be accomplished both intermolecularly and intramolecularly, providing useful product yields and high enantioselectivities in both manifolds.

The pinacol of ligands: The (R)-DTBM-Segphos coordinated copper(I) complex was found to be very effective for the asymmetric hydroboration of β-substituted styrene derivatives with pinacolborane (see scheme; DTBM=3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenyl). This new method affords benzylic pinacol boronate esters with excellent levels of regio- and enantioselectivity (>99 %).

The reactions of enantiopure S-tert-butyl sulfones of the type R 1CH(R2)SO2tBu (≥99% ee) with lithiumorganyl compounds gave the corresponding chiral α-sulfonyl carbanion salts [R 1C(R2)SO2tBu]Li with ≥94% ee. The enantioselectivity of the deprotonation of the phenyl- but not dialkyl-substituted sulfones is strongly dependent on the nature of the lithiumorganyl. Because of this observation and the strong decrease in enantioselectivity in the presence of TMEDA and HMPA, we propose an intramolecular proton transfer following complexation of the sulfone by RLi. Racemization of [R1C(R2)-SO2tBu]Li follows first-order kinetics and seems to be mainly an enthalpic process with a small negative activation entropy, as revealed by polarimetric measurements at low temperatures. This is in accordance with Cα-S bond rotation as the rate-determining step. The salts [R1C(R2)SO 2tBu]Li have half-lives of racemization in the order of several hours at -105°C. The deuteriation of the salts at -105°C with CF 3CO2D proceeded with enantioselectivities of 94% ee, the magnitude of which was not significantly affected by the presence of TMEDA and HMPA. The salts also reacted with carbon-based electrophiles at low temperatures with high enantioselectivity. The conversion of R1CH(R 2)SO2tBu via [R1C(R2)SO 2tBu]Li to R1C(R2,E)SO2tBu, which involves the loss of stereogenicity at the α-stereogenic center and its reestablishment upon reaction of the chiral carbanion with electrophiles, occurred with high overall enantioselectivity. Electrophiles attack the anionic C atom of [R1C(R2)SO2tBu]Li with high selectivity on the side syn to the O atoms and anti to the tert-butyl group. The reactivity of the dialkyl-substituted salts [R1C(R 2)SO2tBu]Li (R1, R2 = alkyl) is significantly higher than that of the benzylic salts [RC(Ph)SO2tBu]Li (R = alkyl) and the HMPA-coordinated SIPs of [MeC(Ph)SO2- tBu]Li are significantly more reactive towards EtI than the corresponding O-Li contact ion pairs.
