stable bioisostere of an amino (NH2) group. Therefore, methods that can rapidly convert an NH2 group into a CF2H group would be of great value to medicinal chemistry. We report herein an efficient Cu‐catalyzed approach for the conversion of alkyl pyridinium salts, which can be readily synthesized from the corresponding alkyl amines, to their alkyl difluoromethane analogues. This method tolerates a broad

The concept of frustratedLewispairs (FLPs) has been widely applied in various research areas, and metal-free hydrogenation undoubtedly belongs to the most significant and successful ones. In the past decade, great efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of chiral boron Lewis acids. In a sharp contrast, chiral Lewisbase derived FLPs have rarely been disclosed for the asymmetric hydrogenation.

Formal [4 + 1] annulation of easily available fluorinated sulfonium salt with cyclic unsaturated imines has been successfully developed. A structurally diverse set of CF3-substituted dihydropyrroles was efficiently constructed in acceptable to excellent yields with excellent diastereoselectivities. The resulting CF3-containing dihydropyrroles from this transition metal-free strategy could be easily
An in situ formed porphyrin-inspired iron complex that catalyzesasymmetricepoxidation of di- and trisubstituted enones is described. The reaction provides highly enantioenriched α,β-epoxyketones (up to 99% ee). The practical utility of the new catalyst system is demonstrated by the gram-scale synthesis of optically pure epoxide. Hammett analysis suggests that the transition state of the reaction

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
