Summary: A first iron-catalyzed oxophosphorylation reaction of styrene derivatives with dialkyl H-phosphonates under open air conditions is developed, leading to the formation of a range of previously underexplored α-substituted β-ketophosphonates. Additionally, a convenient one-pot procedure for the direct conversion of styrenes to α,β-unsaturated ketones is demonstrated, providing access to valuable products from simple starting materials.

Summary: Cu-catalyzed highly stereoselective and enantiodivergent syntheses of (Z)- or (E)-beta,?-unsaturated ketones from 1,3-butadienyl silanes are developed. The nature of the silyl group of the dienes has a significant impact on the stereo- and enantioselectivity of the reactions. The reactions result in the formation of (Z)-beta,?-unsaturated ketones with excellent enantioselectivities and high Z-selectivities or (E)-beta,?-unsaturated ketones with high optical purities and excellent E-selectivities, depending on the silyl group used.

Summary: The novel indium-mediated difluoroalkylation of iododifluoromethyl ketones with alpha, beta-unsaturated ketones provides a significant route to access 1,2-addition product with excellent regioselectivity. This method has a wide substrate scope, high efficiency, and mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, it can be applied to the synthesis of difluoro derivatives of biologically active molecules containing unsaturated ketone structures, serving as potentially valuable fluorinated intermediates in drug discovery.

Summary: A novel and practical method for accessing saturated ketones from unsaturated ketone derivatives using a CS2/t-BuOK system in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is presented. The in situ generation of xanthate salt through the reaction of carbon disulfide and potassium tert-butoxide is crucial for this transformation. Deuterium-labeling experiments showed that DMSO can act as a hydrogen donor.

Summary: A metal-free approach for tunable 1,2-difunctionalization of terminal alkynes, involving tandem installation of C-C and C-S bonds, has been developed. The key factor enabling this approach is the use of acetic acid as an acyl source to synthesize beta-substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones. The reaction at different temperatures results in regioselective acylation at the terminal carbon and the more substituted carbon of the alkynes respectively.

Summary: This study successfully developed a new method to achieve enantioselective radical reactions of alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds using visible light irradiation. In this reaction system, the ternary EDA complex and chiral oxazaborolidinium ions as catalysts not only yielded products with high yields, but also achieved high enantioselectivities.

Summary: In-depth study on alpha-pinene derivatives containing pharmacophores revealed excellent inhibitory activity against common crop fungi, particularly Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Compound 3u and 3v significantly reduced ergosterol content and increased cell membrane permeability, suggesting inhibitory effects on ergosterol biosynthesis. QSAR and SAR studies indicated that the charge distribution of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl ketone derivatives played a crucial role in fungicidal activity. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of designing novel high-efficacy turpentine-based antifungal agents.

Summary: Magnesium (II)-BOX complexes catalyze the enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to beta-trifluoromethyl enones and their N-sulfonyl imines to give ketones or (E)-enamines bearing a trifluoromethylated stereogenic center, respectively, with good yields and high enantiomeric excesses. The magnesium complexes exhibit higher activity and stereoselectivity than zinc and copper analogues in these reactions.

Summary: Humans are exposed to ABuCs from smoke and exhaust fumes, with varying reactivity towards different Cys residues. Acrolein shows the highest reactivity, while dimethylfumarate reacts readily with protein Cys residues, particularly Cys151 on Keap-1. Steric/electronic interactions play a more important role than Cys ionization in the reactions of crotonaldehyde, dimethylfumarate, and cyclohex-1-en-2-one with Cys residues.

Summary: A highly efficient asymmetric Michael addition of bulky glycine imine to alpha,beta-unsaturated isoxazoles has been achieved using a chiral cyclopropenimine catalyst, resulting in high yields and stereoselectivities. Solvent choice was found to have a significant effect on the reaction, and gram-scale preparation and transformations of the Michael adducts were accomplished without loss of stereoselectivity.

Summary: In this study, a low-metal iron-supported catalyst (Fe20/NC-Mg) was reported for the efficient synthesis of quinoxaline compounds, using water as a solvent and without additional bases. The synergistic effect of FeNx site and Mg (OH)2 nanorods in the catalyst played a key role in achieving high yields (82-91%) in 16 examples. The gram-level synthesis and reusability of the catalysts after four cycles demonstrated its industrial application potential.
