TL;DR: Progress achieved thus far is likely the preamble to the future development of non-orthogonal multi-catalytic processes (i.e., transformations involving several catalysts that are not inherently cooperative) where the order with which each catalyst enters the fray will demand additional innovative strategies.

Practical and Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of β-Alkynyl-β-Amino Esters Through Ag-Catalyzed Asymmetric Mannich Reactions of Silylketene Acetals and Alkynyl Imines
TL;DR: A readily available iso-leucine-based phosphine ligand is used to promote Ag-catalyzed Mannich reactions between silylketene acetals and various alkynyl imines.

In Situ Methylene Capping: A General Strategy for Efficient Stereoretentive Catalytic Olefin Metathesis. The Concept, Methodological Implications, and Applications to Synthesis of Biologically Active Compounds
TL;DR: The in situ methylene capping strategy was used with the same Ru catechothiolate complex to perform ring-closing metathesis reactions, generating 14- to 21-membered ring macrocyclic alkenes in 40-70% yield and 96:4-98:2 Z:E selectivity; here too, reactions were more efficient and Z-selective than when the other catalyst classes are employed.

The significance of degenerate processes to enantioselective olefin metathesis reactions promoted by stereogenic-at-Mo complexes.
TL;DR: Spectroscopic and experimental evidence is provided demonstrating that degenerate metathesis is critical to the effectiveness of this emerging class of chiral catalysts.

Zirconium-catalyzed ethylmagnesiation of hydroxylated terminal alkenes; a catalytic and diastereoselective carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction
TL;DR: In this article, the results of catalgic carbomagnesation of acyclic substrates are shown to be unique with high levels of regio- and stereocontrol, with the appropriate choice of the neighboring heteroatom substituent (alcohol vs ether).
