BF3 can be used in combination with organolithium/strong Lewis base complexes for the enantioselective nucleophilic ring-opening or the carbenoidic rearrangement of various meso-oxiranes with excellent yields and ee values of up to 87 %. Mechanistic aspects of these reactions are considered.
Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-aryl cyclic ketones for the synthesis of <i>trans</i> cycloalkanols through dynamic kinetic resolution under acidic conditions
The first efficient palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-aryl cyclic ketones has been described through dynamickineticresolution under acidic conditions, providing a facile access to chiral trans cycloalkanol derivatives with excellent enantioselectivities.

A unique metal‐free aerobicoxidation of primary amines via visiblelight photocatalytic double carbon–carbon bonds cleavage and multi carbon–hydrogen bonds oxidation was observed. Aerobicoxidation of primary amines could be controlled to afford acids by using dioxane with 18 W CFL, and lactones by using DMF with 8 W green LEDs, respectively. A plausible mechanism was proposed based on control experiments
通过可见光光催化双碳-碳键断裂和多碳-氢键氧化,独特地进行了伯胺的无金属好氧氧化。通过使用具有18 W CFL的二恶烷,可以控制伯胺的好氧氧化,以提供酸;通过使用具有8 W绿色LED的DMF,可以分别控制内酯的内酯。在控制实验的基础上,提出了一个合理的机制。该观察结果为脂肪族伯胺的好氧氧化中的碎片化提供了直接证据。
