Summary: Two approaches for preparing terminal alkynes based on enantiomerically pure epimers were established in this study: a non-Wittig route and a Corey-Fuchs approach. The use of n-butyllithium proved to be efficient in both methods. The resulting alkynes were fully characterized, with one used in click chemistry synthesis and observation of atropisomers in another product.

Summary: This study presents the synthetic approach towards the highly enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of the tricyclic framework of 12-epi-JBIR-23/24, a natural product analogue with inhibitory activity against four malignant pleural mesothelioma cell lines. The synthesis involves a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric three-component Michael/aldol reaction to introduce three consecutive tertiary carbon centers, as well as the successful formation of the unique epoxyquinol core motif through various rearrangement reactions.

Summary: The recyclable organic photoreductant CBZ6 catalyzes the reductive coupling of aldehydes, ketones, and imines under purple light irradiation, producing 1,2-diols and 1,2-diamines. With a high oxidation potential, CBZ6 is suitable for the reductive coupling of carbonyl compounds and their derivatives, making it a promising candidate for large-scale photoreductive synthesis.

Summary: A synthetically practical transition metal/catalyst/halogen-free dehydrogenative coupling of aldehydes with N-hydroxyimides solely promoted by tert-butyl nitrite under mild conditions was developed. A diverse array of N-hydroxyimide esters can be prepared from either aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes, with benzoyl-substituted aldehydes also being suitable.

Summary: An efficient and practical transition metal-free alpha-trideuteration of methylarenes has been developed using inexpensive bases in DMSO-d(6) solvent. This method is applicable to a wide range of methylarenes and allows for the introduction of a trideuteriomethyl group to aromatics with excellent selectivity.
