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

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.

Weak is powerful: For the arylation of tin enolates, the palladium catalyst engages in weak CHOhydrogen bonds to control stereoselectivity (see scheme). Similar catalysts capable of NHOhydrogenbonding also works well.
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.
