excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies reveal that these cascades proceed through a sequential radical addition/coupling/elimination process. In contrast to known triple catalysis processes that operate via two sets of interwoven catalysiscycles, in the introduced process, all three cycles are interwoven.
A general strategy for the hydroalkylation of vinyl ketones using ethers catalyzed by an iron catalyst is described. This catalytic method permits direct transformation of easily accessible and abundant precursors into highly substituted, structurally diverse and functionally concentrated products.
Asymmetric Michael reactions and enantioselective protonations between enones and thiols were catalyzed by a Sc(OTf)3–chiral 2,2′-bipyridine complex in water. The remarkable governing of the enantioselectivity for simple introduction of protons despite their abnormally high mobility in water may provide us with new synthetic opportunities as well as significant chemical advances.
The borrowing hydrogen strategy has been applied in the synthesis of α-branched methylated ketones via a tandem three-component reaction catalyzed by a diaminocyclopentadienone iron tricarbonyl complex. Various alkyl and aromatic methyl ketones underwent dialkylation with various primary alcohols and methanol as alkylating agents in mild reaction conditions and good yields.

A novel enantioselective protonation protocol that is triggered by reductive cross coupling of olefins is reported. When under cooperative photoredox and chiral hydrogen-bonding catalytic conditions and using a terminal reductant, various α-branched vinylketones with diverse vinylazaarenes could provide important enantioenriched azaarene derivatives containing tertiary stereocenters at their remote
