Summary: An innovative enantiodivergent organocatalytic method was developed for the synthesis of atropisomeric biaryls, inspired by a dipeptide-phosphonium salt-catalyzed Atherton-Todd reaction. The method allowed for the production of both R- and S-enantiomers with high selectivity factors, showcasing the potential of the newly synthesized O-phosphorylated biaryl diols. Mechanistic investigations revealed the crucial role of hydrogen bonding interactions between the catalysts and phosphorus molecules in asymmetric induction.

Summary: In this study, a unique carbazole-based organophotocatalyst, benzoperylenocarbazole (BPC), is reported as a potent organo-photoreductant. BPC exhibits a lower excited state oxidation potential and a reasonable excited state lifetime, making it an effective photosensitizer. With low catalyst loading and irradiation of blue light, a variety of vicinal diols and diamines can be synthesized in excellent yields through reductive coupling of carbonyls and imines. DFT calculations provide insight into the electronic structure of BPC.

Summary: In this study, the reaction of 3,4-trans-isoxazolidine4,5-diols with Grignard reagents is investigated for the first time, leading to the synthesis of anti,syn-gamma-(hydroxyamino)-alpha,beta-diols with good diastereoselectivities. These (hydroxyamino)diols can serve as valuable precursors for the synthesis of biologically active compounds.

Summary: Aryl fluorosulfates are versatile building blocks in organic synthesis and have gained increasing attention in SuFEx click chemistry. They can be easily prepared from phenols using low-cost sulfuryl fluoride as a sulfonyl fluoride provider. They have been used as less toxic and more atom economical alternatives to triflates in numerous cross-coupling reactions. This review summarizes the recent advances and developments in utilizing aryl fluorosulfates as electrophilic partners in cross-coupling reactions.

Summary: The strategy of cross-selective aza-pinacol coupling allows for the conversion of aliphatic aldehydes to valuable beta-amino alcohols, while avoiding homodimerization. By activating carbonyl-specific and using a photoinitiated Mn catalyst, ketyl radicals selectively couple to imines through an atom transfer mechanism.

Summary: An efficient visible light-driven methodology using CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots as photocatalysts selectively transforms aryl aldehydes and ketones to alcohols or pinacol products, with thiophenols acting as donors and hole traps. The catalysts show high efficiency and stability, with the ability to switch products simply by adjusting the amount of thiophenol. The method allows for good functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, and is suitable for large scale 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: Cross-pinacol coupling of two different carbonyl compounds was achieved through successive one-electron transfer processes under photocatalytic conditions. In the reaction, an umpoled anionic carbinol synthon was generated in situ to react nucleophilically with a second electrophilic carbonyl compound. It was revealed that a CO2 additive promoted the photocatalytic generation of the carbinol synthon to suppress undesired radical dimerization. A wide variety of aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl substrates underwent the cross-pinacol coupling to afford the corresponding unsymmetric vicinal 1,2-diols, in which even a combination of carbonyl reactants with similar structures such as two aldehydes and two ketones were also well tolerated with high cross-coupling selectivity.

Summary: The formation of carbon-carbon bonds by pinacol coupling of aldehydes and ketones can be achieved using solvated electrons generated via a plasma-liquid process. Selectivity over the competing reduction to the alcohol requires careful control over mass transport. The generality of this method is demonstrated with various substrates, and a reaction-diffusion model and ab initio calculations provide insights into the mechanism. This study opens the possibility of a metal-free, electrically-powered, sustainable method for reductive organic reactions.

Summary: A simple sequential addition protocol for the reductive coupling of ketones and aldehydes by a potassium aluminyl has been proposed. The isolation of an aluminium ketyl complex provides evidence for the accessibility of radical species. Product release from the aluminium centre was achieved using an iodosilane, demonstrating the steps required to generate a closed synthetic cycle.
