Thiaminediphosphatedependentenzymes are well known for catalyzing the asymmetricsynthesis of chiral α‐hydroxy ketones from simple prochiral substrates. The steric and chemical properties of the enzyme active site define the product spectrum. Enzymes catalyzing the carboligation of aromatic aldehydes to (S)‐benzoins have not so far been identified. We were able to close this gap by constructing
N′-dioxide complex as catalyst. This strategy provided an array of optically active 2-acyl-2-hydroxy cyclohexanones in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivities. The asymmetric isomerizations of acyclic α-hydroxy aldehydes and α-iminols were achieved as well under modified conditions, affording the corresponding chiral α-hydroxy ketones and α-amino ketones in moderate results. Moreover, further

Base? No thanks! A hydride isonitrile iron(II) complex bearing a C2-symmetric diamino (NH)2P2 macrocyclic ligand catalyzes the asymmetric transferhydrogenation of ketones under base-free conditions with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee). Base-labile benzoins are formed from the corresponding benzils with up to 95 % ee.

furnishes N‐arylhydroxamic acids in high yields. Aromatic aldehydes and benzoins are converted into enamine‐carbanion‐like intermediates prior to their reaction with nitroso compounds. The kinetic resolution of rac‐2‐hydroxy‐1,2‐diphenylethanones furnished (S)‐benzoins and arylhydroxamic acids with high enantioselectivities and conversions.

modifiers into organocatalytic systems. In this work, we introduce an approach for the in situ systematic modification of organocatalysts in their secondary sphere throughdynamiccovalent binding under the reaction conditions. As a proof-of-concept, we applied boronic acids as secondary-sphere modifiers of N-heterocyclic carbenes that contained a hydroxy handle. The bound system formed in the reaction mixture
