Vanadium—Salan Catalyzed Enantioselective Ring Opening of meso‐Epoxides with Aromatic Amines.
TL;DR: The first enantioselective ring-opening of meso-epoxides catalyzed by chiral oxovanadium(V)-salan complexes was reported in this paper.
Visible‐Light Photoredox‐Catalyzed C—H Difluoroalkylation of Hydrazones Through an Aminyl Radical/Polar Mechanism.
TL;DR: In this paper, a highly (E)-stereoselective photoredox process for the direct C(sp2)-H bond difluoroalkylation of aldehyde-derived hydrazones is reported.
Copper-Catalyzed C—N Bond Formation Through C—H/N—H Activation: A Novel Approach to the Synthesis of Multisubstituted Ureas.
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of tetrasubstituted urea derivatives is prepared by copper-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling of alkoxyamides with corresponding formamides.
Synthesis of Functionalized Isoquinolin‐1(2H)‐ones by Copper‐Catalyzed α‐Arylation of Ketones with 2‐Halobenzamides.
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel and efficient method for the synthesis of the title compounds through sequential α-arylation and dehydrative cyclization processes is developed tolerating broad range of substituents.
Organocatalytic Asymmetric Michael-Type/Wittig Reaction of Phosphorus Ylides: Synthesis of Chiral α-Methylene-δ-ketoesters.
TL;DR: In this article, the ion pair catalyst is prepared by simply mixing the quinine with the proline derivative, which is then used to create the ion-pair catalyst for proline derivatives.
