2-Hydroxyacetophenone (2-HAP) is an important building block for the production of a series of natural products and pharmaceuticals; however, there is no safe, efficient, and economical method for 2-HAP synthesis. Here, a one-pot enzymatic-chemical cascade route was designed for synthesizing 2-HAP based on retrosynthetic analysis. First, a spontaneous proton-transfer reaction was designed using a computational simulation that enabled 2-HAP synthesis from the isomer 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetaldehyde. A route for 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetaldehyde synthesis was then constructed by introducing the unnatural substrate glyoxylic acid into a C-C ligation reaction catalyzed by Candida tropicalis pyruvate decarboxylase. Assembly and optimization of this enzymatic-chemical cascade route resulted in a final yield of 92.7%. Furthermore, stereospecific carbonyl reductases were introduced to construct a synthetic application platform that enabled further transformation of 2-HAP into (S)- and (R)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol. This method of cascading spontaneous chemical and enzymatic reactions to synthesize chemicals offers insight into avenues for synthesizing other valuable chemicals.

An asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of vinyl ethylenecarbonates (VECs) and (E)-3-arylvinyl substituted benzo[d] isothiazole 1,1-dioxides has been developed using the Pd complex of a bidentate phosphoramidite (Me-BIPAM) as the catalyst, providing a wide variety of chiral multistereogenic vinyltetrahydrofurans in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 dr, 99% ee).

In this paper, we designed and synthesized a new type of cyclic carbonates, allenylethylene carbonates (AECs). With AECs as reactive precursors, we developed palladium-catalyzed (3+3) annulation of AECs with nitrile oxides. Various AECs worked well in this reaction under mild reaction conditions. A variety of 5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazine derivatives with allenyl quaternary stereocenters can be accessed in a facile manner in high yields (≤98%).

A palladium/XantPhos-catalyzed [5 + 2] annulation of VECs with electron-deficient alkenes having an isolated carbon-carbon double bond has been developed to afford spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. This study provides an expedient assembly of biologically interesting spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. The easy scalability and versatile transformability of the reaction products were also exhibited.

A facile method for the one-pot synthesis of 1,2-diarylindoles under transition-metal-free conditions is described. Cyclohexanones were used as the aryl sources via the dehydrogenative aromatization process. One C-C and two C-N bonds were selectively formed via a domino reaction. This protocol provides a convenient approach for the construction of valuable bioactive 1,2-diarylindoles from readily available cyclohexanones, α-hydroxyketones and anilines.

Transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation synthesis of heterocyclic spiro[4,4]nonanes has persistently witnessed the use of additional stoichiometric transition-metal oxidant when employing C=C bond as the spiro ring closure site. Herein, we have addressed the issue by reporting a redox-neutral strategy for spiro[indene-1,4′-oxa-zolidinones] synthesis via Rh(III)-catalyzed coupling of 4-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2(3H)-ones with alkynes. The synthesis features a broad substrate scope and high regiospecificity.

Tertiary propargylic sulfones are of significant importance in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, but to date no general asymmetric synthesis approach has been developed. We disclose a versatile copper-catalyzed sulfonylation of propargylic cyclic carbonates using sodium sulfinates that allows the construction of propargylic sulfones featuring elusive quaternary stereocenters. This method provides the first successful example of such an enantioselective propargylic sulfonylation, features high asymmetric induction, wide functional group tolerance, and scalability, and enables attractive product diversification.

A general and practical protocol for elusive carbo-difluoroalkylation/ monofluoroalkylation of unactivated alkenes based on the distal functional group migration is described. A portfolio of functional groups including heteroaryl, imino, formyl, and alkynyl groups showcase the migratory aptitude. In combination with visible-light photocatalysis, a broad range of di- and mono-fluorinated alkyl ketones are readily obtained in synthetically useful yields under mild reaction conditions.

The enantioselective reduction of α-hydroxy ketones with catecholborane has been developed employing 5 mol% of an 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL)-derived ion-pair organocatalyst. This methodology provides a straightforward access to the corresponding aromatic 1,2-diols in high yields (up to 90%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97%). Furthermore, the α-amino ketones also could be reduced with moderate ee values under mild reaction condition. (Figure presented.).
