Asymmetric Reduction of Unactivated Alkenes
Unactivated alkenes rank among the most inert functional groups in synthesis and their selective reduction remains challenging. This Review charts the evolution from classical metal‐catalyzed hydrogenation to radical hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and emerging biocatalytic concepts, highlighting how complementary mechanistic strategies, including the ...

Bayesian Optimization of Solvent‐Free Thermal Amidation via Reactive Extrusion
Thermal amidation between a carboxylic acid and an amine was successfully conducted in an extruder in the absence of solvent, coupling agent, or catalyst, relying on an adapted Bayesian Optimization protocol. Active pharmaceutical ingredient moclobemide was synthesized on a larger scale, achieving excellent yield and low Process Mass Intensity (PMI ...

Phosphine-Catalyzed Doubly Stereoconvergent γ-Additions of Racemic Heterocycles to Racemic Allenoates: The Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Protected α,α-Disubstituted α-Amino Acid Derivatives [PDF]
Methods have recently been developed for the phosphine-catalyzed asymmetric γ-addition of nucleophiles to readily available allenoates and alkynoates to generate useful α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds that bear a stereogenic center in either the γ or ...

A General Strategy for the Synthesis of Jerangolids Enabled by π‐allyl Stille Coupling
A general strategy for the synthesis of jerangolids is established, featuring a late‐stage π‐allyl Stille coupling of two advanced, highly customizable building blocks to form the skipped diene core. The approach provides access to all naturally occurring jerangolids, including jerangolid H, whose configuration is confirmed by NMR analysis.

Synthesis of enantiomeric polyhydroxyalkylpyrrolidines from 1,3-dipolar cycloadducts. Evaluation as inhibitors of a β-galactofuranosidase [PDF]
Enantiomeric 2,3,4-tris(hydroxyalkyl)-5-phenylpyrrolidines have been synthesized from the major cycloadducts obtained by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of sugar enones with azomethine ylides derived from natural amino acids.
