Porcine pancreas lipase type II (PPL II) exhibited unnatural catalytic activity in direct asymmetric aldol reactions between cyclic ketones and aromatic or heteroaromatic aldehydes in acetonitrile in the presence of phosphate buffer. A wide range of substrates was accepted by the enzyme to afford the corresponding aldol products in low to high yields (10 - 98%), with moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (53 - 94% ee, for anti-isomers) and low to moderate diastereoselectivities (48/52 - 87/13 dr, anti/syn). This methodology expands the application of PPL II, and it might be developed into a potentially valuable method for sustainable organic synthesis.

A crude extract from earthworms was used as an environmentally friendly and easily accessible biocatalyst for asymmetric direct aldol reactions. The β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds could be prepared in yields of up to 94%, with ee values of up to 98% and dr of up to >99:1. A wide range of substrates could participate in the reaction. This earthworm catalyst was also efficient in the large-scale reaction, providing product in excellent yield and good selectivity. The protocol as an example gives inspiration for the development of sustainable catalysts from nature, which also provides a potential possibility for application of earthworm catalyst in industrial production.

Cu(i)/bisoxazoline ligand catalyzed asymmetric aldol reactions of fluoro-indolinone derived new type tertiary enolates have been developed. This process allows the preparation of a wide range of α-fluoro-β-aryl/hetaryl/alkyl-β-hydroxy-indolin-2-one products containing C–F quaternary stereogenic centers.

AbstractTransition metal-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution with a suitably pre-stored leaving group in the substrate is widely used in organic synthesis. In contrast, the enantioselective allylic C(sp3)-H functionalization is more straightforward but far less explored. Here we report a catalytic protocol for the long-standing challenging enantioselective allylic C(sp3)-H functionalization. Through palladium hydride-catalyzed chain-walking and allylic substitution, allylic C-H functionalization of a wide range of acyclic nonconjugated dienes is achieved in high yields (up to 93% yield), high enantioselectivities (up to 98:2 er), and with 100% atom efficiency. Exploring the reactivity of substrates with varying pKa values uncovers a reasonable scope of nucleophiles and potential factors controlling the reaction. A set of efficient downstream transformations to enantiopure skeletons showcase the practical value of the methodology. Mechanistic experiments corroborate the PdH-catalyzed asymmetric migratory allylic substitution process.
