An iridiumcatalyst enables the reductive amination of carbonylgroups with unprecedented substrate scope, selectivity, and activity using formic acid as the hydrogen source (see scheme). The catalyst system provides significant improvement over commonly used boron hydrides.
The development of catalysts based on earth abundant metals in place of noble metals is becoming a central topic of catalysis. We herein report a cobalt/tetraphosphine complex catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of polar unsaturated compounds using an air- and moisture-stable and scalable precatalyst. By activation with potassium hydroxide, this cobalt system shows both high efficiency (up to 24000
A versatile and highly stereoselective borylative cyclization to generate polyfunctionalized γ-lactams has been developed. The stereoselective synthesis of these key ring systems is crucial due to their ubiquity in natural products. We report the diastero- and enantioselective construction of di- and trisubstituted γ-lactam cores, with examples containing an enantioenriched quaternary carbon.

Amination of allylic alcohols is an effective approach in the facile synthesis of N-allylic alkylation or N-alkylationamines. Recently, a series of catalysts were devised to push forward this transformation. However, current synthetic methods are typically limited to achieve either N-allylic alkylation or N-alkylation products via a certain catalyst. In this article, a pH-mediated selective synthesis of N-allylic

A method for oxidative arylacetoxylation of alkenes has been developed to synthesize indole and indoline derivatives from readily accessible substrates. The cinnamyl tethered anilines with picolinamide as a directing group provided 3-substituted indoles via intramolecular oxidative arylacetoxylation, and the 2-methyl substituted cinnamyl anilines furnished indoline derivatives with 3-position quaternary
