A vast range of novel TADDOL-based diphosphite ligands were first synthesized and applied in the nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrocyanation of disubstituted methylenecyclopropanes. By employing these new catalysts, the conversion of diverse methylenecyclopropanes into their corresponding allylic nitriles was first enabled, in good yield with excellent enantioselectivities.
strategy has been developed for regioselective imino functionalizations of alkenes via the formation of an EDA complex. This photo-induced protocol facilitates the construction of structurally diverse β-imino sulfones and vinyl sulfones in moderate to high yields. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction is initiated with an intermolecular chargetransfer between oximes and sulfinates, followed by fragmentation
