N'-dioxide-Sc(III) complex catalysts. The BV oxidations of prochiral cyclohexanones and cyclobutanones afforded series of optically active ε- and γ-lactones, respectively, in up to 99% yield and 95% ee. Meanwhile, the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-arylcyclohexanones was also realized via an abnormal BV oxidation. Enantioenriched 3-aryloxepan-2-ones, whose formation is counter to the migratoryaptitude, were
An aqueous chemoenzymatic cascade reaction combining Pd-catalyzed C–C formation and enzymatic CC asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) was developed for enantioselective synthesis of tertiary α-aryl cycloketones in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. The stereopreference of the enzyme in AH of α-aryl cyclohexenones was studied. An enantiocomplementary enzyme was obtained by site-directed mutation

A highly reactive and robust chiral Brønstedacidcatalyst, chiral N-triflyl thiophosphoramide, was developed. The first metal-free Brønstedacid catalyzed enantioselective protonation reaction of silyl enol ethers was demonstrated using this chiral Brønstedacidcatalyst. The catalyst loading could be reduced to 0.05 mol % without any deleterious effect on the enantioselectivity.

A new Lewis base-tolerant LBA (LewisAcidAssistedBronstedAcid) derived from La(OTf)(3) and (S)-HOP has been developed as a new chiralBronstedacid. This acid has been successfully applied as a catalyst to asymmetric protonation reactions of silylenolethers of 2-substituted cyclic ketones.
Reaction of lithium enolates of 2-arylcycloalkanones 2 with (R,R)-aminoborane 1, prepared from (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane 4 and PhBCl2, gives the corresponding optically active ketones 3 with up to 93% ee; this is the first example of enantioselective protonation using a metal-containing chiral proton source.
