A method for the catalytic, enantioselective, carbosulfenylation of alkenes to construct 3,4-disubstituted chromans is described. Alkene activation proceeds through the intermediacy of enantioenriched, configurationally stable thiiranium ions generated from catalytic, Lewis base activation of an electrophilic sulfenylating agent. The transformation affords difficult-to-generate, enantioenriched, 3,4-disubstituted chromans in moderate to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. A variety of substituents are compatible including electronically diverse functional groups as well as several functional handles such as aryl halides, esters, anilines, and phenols. The resulting thioether moiety is amenable to a number of functional group manipulations and transformations. Notably, the pendant sulfide was successfully cleaved to furnish a free thiol which readily provides access to most sulfur-containing functional groups which are present in natural products and pharmaceuticals.

A simple imine-based covalent organic framework (COF) as heterogeneous ligand for PdII-promoted Heck reaction is reported. Good regioselectivity for a wide range of electronically unbiased olefins is obtained (linear/branched >100:1 in most cases). Related tests and density functional theory calculations are used to explore the reason underlying the high selectivity. This research opens a route for COF as an intriguing platform to control regioselectivity catalysis.

Vinyl sulfonium salts typically act as an electrophilic Michael acceptor, thus initiating many tandem cyclization reactions. Herein, we disclosed the novel reactivity of vinyl sulfonium salts as a radical acceptor. Using redox-active ester as an alkyl rad
