Highly enantioselective pyridine-directed rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging 1,1-diarylalkenes is achieved by using [Rh(NBD)DuanPhos]BF4 as a precatalyst. Various types of 2-pyridine substituted 1,1-diarylalkenes could be hydrogenated with good to excellent enantioselectivities, which provide an efficient route to the synthesis of pharmaceutically and biologically active compounds

Abstract The first copper-catalyzed cyanation through alkene C–H bond activation by using an α-iminonitrile as a cyanating agent has been realized. The approach efficiently constructs acrylonitriles in good yields with the advantages of high regioselectivity, cost-benefit, and operational simplicity. The first copper-catalyzed cyanation through alkene C–H bond activation by using an α-iminonitrile
A radical-based asymmetric olefin difunctionalization strategy for rapidly forging all-carbon quaternarystereocenters α to diverse azaarenes is reported. Under cooperative photoredox and chiral Brønsted acid catalysis, cyclopropylamines with α-branched 2-vinylazaarenes can undergo a sequential two-step radical process, furnishing various valuable chiral azaarene-substituted cyclopentanes. The use
