Chromium(II)-catalyzed enantioselective arylation of ketones
The chromium-catalyzed enantioselective addition of carbo halides to carbonyl compounds is an important transformation in organic synthesis. However, the corresponding catalytic enantioselective arylation of ketones has not been reported to date. Herein,

Total Enantioselective Synthesis of (‐)‐Cytisine. [PDF]
[reaction: see text] The first total enantiosynthesis of the biologically active alkaloid (-)-cytisine is reported, featuring a ruthenium-catalyzed RCM reaction as the key step. The approach relies on readily available cis-piperidine-3,5-dimethanol monoacetate as the chiral building block, and it is suited for achieving the target compound in both ...

Influence of Phosphoramidites in Copper-Catalyzed Conjugate Borylation Reaction [PDF]
Copper(I) has become the preferred metal to catalyze the β-boration of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, and now we demonstrate that easily accessible monodentate chiral ligands, such as phosphoramidites and phosphites, can be convenient alternative ...
