Light-enabled enantiodivergence is demonstrated in which the alkene substrate configuration is manipulated (E → Z) prior to organocatalytic reduction with a chiral thiourea and Hantzsch ester. This allows stereodivergent reduction to be regulated at the substrate level with high fidelity and mitigates the need for a second, enantiomeric catalyst (up to 93:07 and 95:5 er). The synthetic utility of this strategy has been demonstrated in the synthesis of the weight-loss drug (R)-Lorcaserin (Belviq) and a potent AMPA modulator.

A highly efficient, iridium-catalyzed, enantioselective hydrogenation of β,β-disubstituted nitroalkenes has been developed. Using a complex consisting of iridium and (S,S)-f-spiroPhos as the catalyst, a variety of β,β-disubstituted nitroalkenes were successfully hydrogenated to the corresponding chiral nitroalkanes with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) and high turnover numbers (TON=1000).

Building the building blocks: A highly enantioselective hydrogenation of ?-aryl-?-alkyl disubstituted nitroalkenes 1 has been developed. This method results in enantiomerically pure nitroalkanes 2, which are versatile precursors for chemical synthesis.
