Chiral phosphoric-acid-catalyzed asymmetric reductions of trans-chalcones have been investigated in this work. A BINOL-derived boro-phosphate-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of the carbon–carbon double bond of trans-chalcone derivatives employing borane as a hydride source was realized. This methodology provides a convenient procedure to accesschiral dihydrochalone derivatives in high

The combination of Fe(OTf2) and novel phenanthroline ligands enables the catalytic asymmetric epwddation of acyclic beta,beta-disubstituted enones, which have been a heretofore inaccessible substrate class. The reaction provides highly enantioenriched alpha,beta-epoxyketones (up to 92% ee) that can be further converted to functionalized beta-ketoaldehydes with an all-carbon quaternary center.
