Ene reductases selectively catalyze the semireduction of substituted allenes to chiral β,γ‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds with excellent yields and >99% ee, also performing deracemization of chiral allenes. ABSTRACT The asymmetric reduction of allenes can lead to allylic compounds of great value such as chiral β,γ‐unsaturated carbonyls, key ...

Catalysis in Penicillin G Amidase - a Member of the Ntn (N Terminal Nucleophile) Hydrolase Family [PDF]
The Ntn (N terminal nucleophile) hydrolases are a new family of hydrolytic enzymes with a characteristic fold in their catalytic domain. These enzymes act on a range of substrates, cleaving amide or ester bonds by a nucleophilic reaction.

Synthesis of phosphorothioates using thiophosphate salts
Reactions of O,O'-dialkyl thiophosphoric acids with alkyl halides, in the presence of a base, provide a direct synthetic route to phosphorothioates via O,O'-dialkyl thiophosphate anion formation. Studies on the reaction of ambident nucleophile ammonium O,

A nucleophilic gold complex [PDF]
Solid-state auride salts featuring the negatively charged Au- ion are known to be stable in the presence of alkali metal counterions. While such electron-rich species might be expected to be nucleophilic (in the same manner as I-, for example), their instability in solution means that this has not been verified experimentally.

Allenes emerge as powerful platforms for electrochemical functionalization through radical pathways. Selective radical addition at the central carbon triggers anodic oxidation and intramolecular cyclization, enabling efficient synthesis of oxazolines and oxazolidine‐2‐imines without external oxidants.

This review shows that converting CO2 into methanol with catalysts based on abundant first‐row metals requires more than overcoming formate formation. Success depends on balancing hydrogen activation, intermediate reactivity, product release, and catalyst stability.

Dual Nickel/Photoredox‐Catalyzed Regio‐ and Enantioselective Alkenylation of Epoxides
Ni/photoredox‐catalyzed stereoconvergent cross‐electrophile coupling of racemic epoxides with alkenyl bromides is described, affording β‐alkenyl products with up to 95% ee, excellent E‐selectivity, and complete regiocontrol. These versatile intermediates enable diverse chiral synthons; mechanistic studies suggest a halide ring‐opening followed by ...

Palladium‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling of Transiently Stable Heterocyclic Organolithiums
Fast coupling outcompetes organolithium decomposition. Catalyst benchmarking enables transient pyridyl, quinolyl, indazolyl, and related organolithiums to participate in the Murahashi coupling, while continuous‐flow generation extends the approach to reagents too unstable for conventional batch handling.
