Wen Zhang et al.

Summary: Recent research in medicinal chemistry has found a correlation between an increase in sp(3) carbons in drug candidates and their improved success rate in clinical trials. This study focuses on the development of robust and selective methods for constructing carbon(sp(3))-carbon(sp(3)) bonds. By using electrochemistry, the researchers achieve the selective activation of alkyl halides based on their electronic and steric properties, allowing for high selectivity in carbon(sp(3))-carbon(sp(3)) cross-electrophile coupling.

Ni/Photoredox-Catalyzed Enantioselective Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Styrene Oxides with Aryl Iodides

Sii Hong Lau et al.

Summary: This study introduces a Ni/photoredox-catalyzed enantioselective reductive coupling of styrene oxides and aryl iodides, yielding enantioenriched 2,2-diarylalcohols. Analysis shows that enantioselectivity is correlated with the electronic properties of the ligands, with more electron-donating ligands leading to higher ee values. Experimental and computational studies support the hypothesis that reductive elimination is enantiodetermining and ligand electronic properties affect enantioselectivity by altering the position of the transition state structure.
