A new class of organocatalysts based on the structure of 2,3-dihydrobenzo[1,4]oxazine was prepared and applied in the enantioselective transfer-hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturatedaldehydes with Hantzsch ester as hydride donor. These catalysts proved to be particularly effective for the conjugate reduction of β,β-diaryl-substituted acrylaldehydes leading to saturated aldehydes bearing a stereogenic center

A highly enantioselective copper/N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed allylic arylation with organolithium compounds is presented. The use of commercial or readily prepared aryllithium reagents in the reaction with allyl bromides affords a variety of chiral diarylvinylmethanes, comprising a privileged structural motif in pharmaceuticals, in high yields with good to excellent regio- and enantioselectivities
