for the first time an iron-catalyzed highlyenantioselectivehydrogenation of minimally functionalized 1,1-disubstituted alkenes to accesschiral alkanes with full conversion and excellent ee. A novel chiral 8-oxazoline iminoquinoline ligand and its iron complex have been designed and synthesized. This protocol is operationally simple by using 1 atm of hydrogen gas and shows good functional group tolerance
The first transition metal-free highly stereoselective positional isomerization of various α-alkyl styrenes through a carbocation mechanism triggered strategy is developed by using Al(OTf)3 as a hidden Brønsted acid catalyst, which provides facile access to value-added acyclic tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes in good yields with high stereoselectivity under mild conditions. The practicality of this
