The dinuclear zinc complexes as high performance catalysts were used to catalyze phospha-Michael reaction of exocyclic α,β-unsaturated benzocyclic ketones under mild conditions, and the desired products possessing 1-indanones or 1-tetralones skeleton were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities of up to 99%/99% ee and yields of up to 99%. The absolute stereochemistry of the major products catalyzed
Asymmetric Synthesis of Trisubstituted Tetrahydrothiophenes via in Situ Generated Chiral Fluoride-Catalyzed Cascade Sulfa-Michael/Aldol Reaction of 1,4-Dithiane-2,5-diol and α,β-Unsaturated Ketones
A chiral fluoride-catalyzed asymmetriccascade sulfa-Michael/aldol condensation reaction of 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol and a series of α,β-unsaturated ketones is described to access chiral trisubstituted tetrahydrothiophene derivatives. The target products, including the spiro tetrahydrothiophene derivatives bearing a five-, six-, and seven-membered ring, were highly functionalized and showed high ee value

Herein, we report a series of easily accessible bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) cobalt catalysts, which enable the hydrogenation of hindered alkenes under mild conditions. The four-coordinated bidentate NHC-Co(II) complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, ESI-HRMS, and magnetic moment measurements, revealing a distorted-tetrahedral geometry and a high-spin configuration
