C–Si bonds were constructed by utilizing copper hydride-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of 1,2-dihydroquinolines, affording various chiral 4-silyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines in good yields and enantioselectivity. In addition, the C–Si bonds were transformed into C–O bonds with retention of stereochemistry through the Tamao oxidation, giving a series of useful 4-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines. This method with the enantioselective introduction of silyl groups provides an option to adjust bioactive properties of tetrahydroquinolines.

The general enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral disubstituted allenes from prochiral starting materials remains a long-standing challenge in organic synthesis. Here, we report an efficient enantio- and chemoselective copper hydride-catalyzed semi-reduction of conjugated enynes to furnish 1,3-disubstituted allenes using water as the proton source. This protocol is sufficiently mild to accommodate an assortment of functional groups including keto, ester, amino, halo, and hydroxyl groups. Additionally, applications of this method for the selective synthesis of mono-deuterated allenes and chiral 2,5-dihydropyrroles are described.

An exquisite Pybox/Cu(OTf)2-catalyzed asymmetric tandem reaction of tertiary enamides was developed, which enabled the expeditious synthesis of indolizino[8,7-b]indole derivatives in high yield, excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity.

A concise and selective synthesis of the dichlorinated meroterpenoid azamerone is described. The paucity of tactics for the synthesis of chiral organochlorides motivated the development of unique strategies for accessing these motifs in enantioenriched forms. The route features a novel enantioselective chloroetherification reaction, a Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling between a quinone diazide and a boronic hemiester, and a late-stage tetrazine [4+2]-cycloaddition/oxidation cascade.

<div> <div> <div> <p>The union of two powerful transformations, directed C–H activation and decarboxylative cross-coupling, for the enantioselective synthesis of vicinally functionalized alkyl, carbocyclic, and heterocyclic compounds is described. Starting from simple carboxylic acid building blocks, this modular sequence exploits the residual directing group to access more than 50 scaffolds that would be otherwise extremely difficult to prepare. The tactical use of these two transformations accomplishes a formal vicinal difunctionalization of carbon centers in a way that is modular and thus amenable to rapid diversity incorporation. A simplification of routes to known preclinical drug candidates is presented along with the rapid diversification of an antimalarial compound series. </p> </div> </div> </div>
