Summary: The passage describes a reaction sequence involving enantioselective copper-catalyzed conjugate silylation and diastereotopic group-selective aldol cyclization. The intramolecular aldol reaction's diastereoselectivity depends on the silicon nucleophile used, and the more basic zinc reagent enables thermodynamically driven cis-to-trans isomerization. A wide range of electron-withdrawing groups, including electron-deficient heterocycles, are compatible with the different procedures developed.

Summary: A direct and asymmetric aldol reaction of N-acyl thiazinanethiones with aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by chiral nickel(II) complexes was reported. The reaction gives high yields of O-TIPS-protected anti-aldol adducts with remarkable stereocontrol and atom economy. The removal of the achiral scaffold provides enantiomerically pure intermediates with synthetic interest for producing anti-alpha-amino-beta-hydroxy and alpha,beta-dihydroxy carboxylic derivatives, with theoretical calculations explaining the observed high stereocontrol.

Summary: Vinylogous reaction is an efficient tool to introduce new functional groups at the gamma-position or more remote positions of the parent functional group. The resulting highly functionalized structures are widely present in natural products, biologically active compounds, and pharmaceuticals, and serve as important synthetic intermediates. The focus of our group is the development of efficient direct vinylogous reactions using copper catalysts, particularly in the catalytic asymmetric variants.

Summary: Here, we have reported an intermolecular asymmetric hydrative aldol reaction by using a vinyl-gold intermediate under ambient conditions. This reaction provides a base-free approach to β-hydroxy amides with high efficiency, yielding up to 95% and with over 50 examples. The use of vinyl gold intermediate as a reactive nucleophile and Fe(acac)(3) as a critical co-catalyst prevents undesired protodeauration, allowing the transformation to proceed under mild conditions with excellent functional group tolerance and stereoselectivity (>20:1 d.r. and up to 99% ee).

Summary: A poly(ethylene glycol) supported amino alcohol has been developed as a chiral ligand for the copper-catalyzed asymmetric nitrolaldol reaction. The catalyst enables the synthesis of syn-2-nitro-1,3-diols with high yields and stereoselectivities. The PEG moiety allows for easy purification and recycling of the catalyst.

Summary: Condensation of BINAPO-(PhCHO)(2) and 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene(TAPB) leads to a new imine-based chiral organic material (COM) that can be post-functionalized through reductive transformation of imine linkers to amines. Although the imine-based material is not stable enough to be used as a heterogeneous catalyst, the reduced amine-linked framework can be efficiently utilized in asymmetric allylation of various aromatic aldehydes. The obtained yields and enantiomeric excesses are comparable to those observed for the molecular BINAP oxide catalyst, with the added advantage of recyclability offered by the amine-based material.

Summary: The study demonstrates the improved selectivity of an asymmetric aldol reaction by replacing part of the catalyst, and identifies the most suitable reaction conditions. However, these conditions seem to be limited to oxindoles bearing a 3-substituent of funapide.

Summary: A new method has been developed for the synthesis of sulfur-containing chiral beta-lactams with two consecutive stereogenic centers using copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric, three-component interrupted Kinugasa reaction. The key lies in the interception of in situ formed chiral four membered copper(I) enolate intermediate with sulfur electrophiles, resulting in good yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Summary: A direct and asymmetric aldol reaction between N-azidoacetyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione and aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by a chiral nickel(II)-Tol-BINAP complex has been developed. The reaction gives anti alpha-azido-beta-silyloxy adducts with excellent stereocontrol and high yields. The removal of thiazolidinethione allows for the synthesis of a wide array of enantiomerically pure derivatives, providing a new route to di- and tripeptide blocks containing a beta-aryl-beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acid.

Summary: Multi-enzymatic cascades using engineered enzymes are a useful tool for synthesizing complex molecules from simple starting materials. In this study, we engineered the enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) to have increased aldolase activity. We then used the evolved 4-OT variant in a one-pot two-step cascade to synthesize enantioenriched epoxides from biomass-derived materials with high yields and enantioselectivity. We also developed a three-step enzymatic cascade for the production of chiral aromatic triols with high enantiopurity and good isolated yields.

Summary: The silver-catalyzed asymmetric aldol reaction of isocyanoacetic acid derivatives with aldehydes has been developed using a chiral prolinol-phosphine ligand as a hydrogen-bond-donating P,N,O ligand. DFT calculations revealed a stepwise reaction mechanism, involving C-C bond formation and subsequent enantioselectivity-determining ring formation. The prolinol moiety of the ligand activates the aldehyde through a two-point hydrogen bond, facilitating the stereocontrolled cyclization. Additional nonclassical hydrogen bonds and London dispersion interactions may also contribute to stereocontrol.
