Monosubstituted N‐arylhydroxylamines represent a unique subclass of hydroxylamines that act as pivotal intermediates in redox transformations and as versatile platforms for further synthetic transformations. They serve as key building blocks in the synthesis of architecturally complex heterocycles and other valuable organic compounds.

The Asymmetric Self‐Replicative Alkylation of N‐Arylaldimines Using Organolithium Reagents
Here, we report a new asymmetric autoinductive reaction; the addition of nBuLi to N‐arylaldimines to form chiral lithium amides. The reaction proceeds with full conversion and complete transfer of chirality, representing the first example of an asymmetric autoinductive reaction with organolithium reagents.

Photoenzymatic Hydroalkylation Enables Streamlined Access to Aryl Glutarimide Precursors
We report a photoenzymatic hydroalkylation that enables streamlined, stereocontrolled access to aryl glutarimide precursors relevant to targeted protein degradation. Engineered flavin‐dependent “ene”‐reductases provide broad scope and high enantioselectivity through a distinct electron transfer–enantioselective proton transfer pathway.

A New Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of the Chiral Key Intermediate of the Antiepileptic Brivaracetam
Brivaracetam is a new anticonvulsant compound, recently approved as an antiepileptic drug. This drug substance presents a 4-substituted pyrrolidone structure: the (4R)-configuration of the stereocenter present on the heterocyclic ring is the main target ...

A catalytic asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-perophoramidine [PDF]
We report a catalytic asymmetric total synthesis of the ascidian natural product perophoramidine. The synthesis employs a molybdenum-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of an oxindole nucleophile and a monosubstituted allylic electrophile as a key ...

Chan–Lam Cross‐Coupling With Alkylboron Reagents: From Transmetallation to Radical Pathways
Alkylative Chan–Lam coupling overcomes intrinsic transmetallation limitations of alkylboron reagents by engaging radical pathways. Recent advances reveal how radical and radical–polar crossover mechanisms enable mild C(sp3)—heteroatom bond formation. This minireview highlights key mechanistic insights and emerging strategies that transform alkylboron ...

Copper‐Catalyzed Synthesis of γ‐Amino Acids Featuring Quaternary Stereocenters
AbstractThe first general asymmetric synthesis of γ,γ‐disubstituted γ‐amino acids by copper‐catalyzed ring opening of nonstrained lactones with amines is reported. This approach features ample scope, operational simplicity, and wide functional‐group diversity.
