β‐Arylation of Racemic Secondary Benzylic Alcohols to Access Enantioenriched β‐Arylated Alcohols

W Miao, J Zhang, Y Yang, W Tang, D Xue… - Angewandte …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The transformation of alcohols into value‐added products is of great importance, as simple
alcohols are widespread and can be easily derived from both fossil fuels and biomass. The …

Bimetallic Ru/Ru‐Catalyzed Asymmetric One‐Pot Sequential Hydrogenations for the Stereodivergent Synthesis of Chiral Lactones

J He, Z Li, R Li, X Kou, D Liu, W Zhang - Advanced Science, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Asymmetric sequential hydrogenations of α‐methylene γ‐or δ‐keto carboxylic acids are
established in one‐pot using a bimetallic Ru/Ru catalyst system, achieving the …

Merging Iridium-Catalyzed Stereoselective Coupling from Alcohols with Organocatalytic Functionalization at the Aldehyde Oxidation Level

A Alexandridis, A Quintard - ACS Catalysis, 2023 - ACS Publications
We report the selective merging between a Krische-type iridium-catalyzed C–C coupling
and an organocatalyzed oxa-Michael addition. Such a general strategy triggers the direct …

A Merger of Relay Catalysis with Dynamic Kinetic Resolution Enables Enantioselective β‐C(sp3)−H Arylation of Alcohols

B Lainer, S Li, F Mammadova… - Angewandte Chemie …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The conceptual merger of relay catalysis with dynamic kinetic resolution strategy is reported
to enable regio‐and enantioselective C (sp3)‐H bond arylation of aliphatic alcohols, forming …

Iron-and Organo-Catalyzed Borrowing Hydrogen for the Stereoselective Construction of Tetrahydropyrans

A Alexandridis, T Rancon, A Halliday, A Kochem… - Organic …, 2024 - ACS Publications
Stereocontrolled oxa-Michael additions are challenging, given the high reversibility of the
process, which ultimately leads to racemization of the newly formed stereocenters. When …
