Enantioselective Catalysis by the Umpolung of Conjugate Acceptors Involving N-Heterocyclic Carbene or Organophosphine 1,4-Addition

Yuji Nakano et al.

Summary: Conjugate acceptors are commonly used electrophilic functional groups in organic synthesis. Our research focuses on their ability to undergo polarity inversion through the conjugate addition of Lewis base catalysts. We have achieved cycloisomerizations and annulation reactions using simple conjugate acceptors and those embedded within more complicated substrates. However, significant challenges remain to be addressed before a universal approach to polarity inversion of all conjugate acceptors can be achieved.

Exploring a general mechanistic map on NHC-catalyzed activation/transformation reactions of saturated carboxylic anhydrides

Shuang-Liang Liu et al.

Summary: A general mechanistic map has been proposed and studied for NHC-catalyzed transformation reactions of saturated carboxylic anhydrides, predicting the origin of chemo- and stereo-selectivities. The fundamental pathway of this reaction includes processes such as C-O bond cleavage, alpha-H elimination, beta-H elimination, functionalization with benzylidene diketone, acyl migration, aldol addition, catalyst dissociation, and decarboxylation. The chemoselectivities in other pathways and the stereoselectivity-determining step have also been investigated.

Radical NHC Catalysis

Kun Liu et al.

Summary: Radical/radical cross-coupling reactions are efficient and direct methods for constructing chemical bonds. The widespread application of persistent radical effect (PRE) has been limited by the fact that the known types of transient radicals far outnumber the known types of persistent radicals. Recent research has focused on developing efficient cross-coupling reactions between transient radicals, and transition-metal catalysis has been successfully used to prolong radical lifetimes, enabling their utilization in formal radical/radical cross-couplings.

Recent advances in N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed radical reactions

Lei Dai et al.

Summary: N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed reactions involving two-electron and radical pathways have been well-established, with the former more developed than the latter in terms of reaction types and enantioselectivity. In the past decade, several elegant NHC-catalyzed radical reactions have been developed, including oxidation of aldehydes, reductive coupling reactions, and reactions via radical homoenolates.
