Asymmetric synthesis of optically pure organoboron compounds is a topic that has received a number of attentions owing to their particular importance in synthetic chemistry and drug discovery. We herein highlight recent advances in the iridium-catalyzed C–H borylation of diarylmethylamines and cyclopropanes enabled by chiral bidentate boryl ligands.1 Introduction2 Ir-Catalyzed Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Borylation of Diarylmethylamines3 Ir-Catalyzed Enantioselective C(sp3)–H Borylation of Cyclopropanes4 Conclusion

Phosphorus-substituted quaternary carbon stereocenters exist widely in drugs and biologically active compounds. Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of such quaternary carbon stereogenic centers is of significant importance, with four synthetic strategies being established. This review summarizes the recent progress in this field, including the advantages and limitations of each strategy, briefly discusses the reaction mechanisms and challenges, and outlines synthetic opportunities still open.1 Introduction2 Asymmetric Hydrophosphonylation3 Asymmetric Electrophilic Phosphination4 Asymmetric Functionalization of P-Substituted Methine Compounds5 Asymmetric Addition to α-Keto- or α-Ketiminophosphonates6 Conclusion

AbstractEnantioselective diamination of alkenes represents one of the most straightforward methods to access enantioenriched, vicinal diamines, which are not only frequently encountered in biologically active compounds, but also have broad applications in asymmetric synthesis. Although the analogous dihydroxylation of olefins is well-established, the development of enantioselective olefin diamination lags far behind. Nevertheless, several successful methods have been developed that operate by different reaction mechanisms, including a cycloaddition pathway, a two-electron redox pathway, and a radical pathway. This short review summarizes recent advances and identifies limitations, with the aim of inspiring further developments in this area.1 Introduction2 Cycloaddition Pathway3 Two-Electron Redox Pathway3.1 Pd(0)/Pd(II) Diamination3.2 Pd(II)/Pd(IV) Diamination3.3 I(I)/I(III) Diamination3.4 Se(II)/Se(IV) Diamination4 One-Electron Radical Pathway4.1 Cu-Catalyzed Diamination4.2 Fe-Catalyzed Diamination5 Summary and Outlook

Furans are five-membered aromatic heterocycles containing one oxygen atom that are important building blocks in organic chemistry, but also as natural products found in various natural sources, mostly in plants, algae and microorganisms. In this review, we discussed recent advances in the synthesis of furan compounds. Some classical methods have been modified and improved, while other new methods have been developed. A vast variety of catalysts was used for these transformations. In many studies, furan synthesis reaction mechanisms were also investigated and proposed.

Enantioselective synthesis of cyclobutane derivatives is still a challenging topic in asymmetric synthesis. [2+2]-Cycloaddition and skeleton rearrangement are two primary strategies to this end. Recently, functionalization of cyclobutanones and cyclobutenones, which are readily available via [2+2]-cycloadditions as prochiral substrates, has emerged as a powerful tool to access versatile four-membered ring compounds. Herein, we summarize some recent advances in these areas from our and other groups.
