Asymmetric cross-electrophile coupling has emerged as a promising tool for producing chiral molecules; however, the potential of this chemistry with metals other than nickel remains unknown. Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed enantiospecific vinylation

Selectivity between 1,2 and 1,4 addition of a nucleophile to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound has classically been modified by the addition of stoichiometric additives to the substrate or reagent to increase their “hard” or “soft” character. Here, we demonstrate a conceptually distinct approach that instead relies on controlling the coordination sphere of a catalyst with visible light. In this way, we bias the reaction down two divergent pathways, giving contrasting products in the catalytic hydroboration of α,β-unsaturated ketones. This includes direct access to previously elusive cyclic enolborates, via 1,4-selective hydroboration, providing a straightforward and stereoselective route to rare syn-aldol products in one-pot. DFT calculations and mechanistic experiments confirm two different mechanisms are operative, underpinning this unusual photocontrolled selectivity switch.

A new method of synthesis of an analogue of Bolm's 2,2′-bipyridine ligand based on the catalytic [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of 1-halodiynes with nitriles was developed. Crucial step of the whole synthesis turned out to be homodimerization of a substituted 2-bromopyridine to the corresponding bipyridine, that was studied and optimized. The newly prepared bipyridine (S,S)-2 was then tested as a chiral ligand in metal-catalyzed enantioselective reactions. Out of the studied reactions the most promising results were obtained in epoxide ring opening (82% yield, 98% ee) and Mukaiyama aldol reaction (>96% yield, 99/1 dr, 92% ee). In the case of Mukaiyama-aldol reaction as well as in the Michael addition, novel ligand 2 proved its robustness compared to Bolm's ligand as it was less sensitive to the purity of used reagents.
