Substoichiometric amounts of a Gd(OTf)3 mediate the addition of
tertiary carbon radicals generated from N-(acyloxy)phthalimide esters to
cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones and lactones. The reaction is accomplished by
irradiation with visible light in the presence of Hantzsch ester without the use
of a photosensitizer.

A cationic cyclization enables the synthesis of cyclohexanones from alkynol
or enyne derivatives with a terminal triple bond. Crucial for the success of the reaction are the
use of tetrafluoroboric acid as a promoter of the cationic cyclization, and the
selection of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol as solvent. This strategy can be extended to the biomimetic cationic cyclization of several
terpene-derived polyenynes.

A chiral Al(III)-N,N'-dioxide complex catalyzes an acyloin rearrangement of cyclic α-ketols to provide an array of
optically active 2-acyl-2-hydroxy cyclohexanones in good yields with
high enantioselectivities. Asymmetric isomerizations of acyclic α-hydroxy
aldehydes and α-iminols were achieved as well under modified conditions.

Enol esters can be epoxidized with high enantioselectivities using a
fructose-derived chiral ketone as catalyst and Oxone as oxidant. A subsequent
acid-catalyzed rearrangement can proceed through two distinct pathways, one with
retention of configuration and the other with inversion. Whereas a strong acid
favors retention of configuration, a weak acid favors inversion of
configuration.

Under blue-light irradiation with
1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene as photocatalyst, silyl enol
ethers reacted with alkenes in the presence of a small amount of water to afford
α-alkylated products in very good yields. A thiol cocatalyst was found to expand
the substrate scope of the reaction.

In the presence of PdCl2(MeCN)2, CuCl2, and
PEG-400, various alkenyl β-keto esters and amides underwent a selective
cyclization to give six-membered carbocycles in good to excellent yields. The
PdCl2(MeCN)2/CuCl2/PEG-400 system could be
recycled and reused five times without any loss of catalytic activity.

The reaction of β-keto esters with CF3CO2ZnCH2I
provided the corresponding chain-extended products in moderate to good
yields. α-Substituted acyclic β-keto esters reacted less efficiently than
cyclic β-keto esters or simple β-keto esters.

Ligand-free cationic Pd(II) catalyst is a highly active catalytic system for
conjugate additions of boroxines to sterically hindered γ-substituted
cyclohexenones in the presence of NaNO3 as an additive. More
challenging γγ- and βγ-substrates also react well to produce products with
quaternary centers in a highly diastereoselective fashion.

Reactions of 4/5-carbonyl-cycloalkenones with organoboronic acids in the
presence of a chiral diene (S,S)-Fc-tfb-rhodium catalyst gave
disubstituted trans-cycloalkanones with high diastereo- and
enantioselectivity. This highly efficient dynamic kinetic resolution is achieved
by fast racemization of the substrate through the formation of a dienolate
followed by kinetic resolution by the catalyst.

Pyrrolidinine-thioxotetrahydropyrimidinone derivatives were tested for their
catalytic properties in various asymmetric organic transformations. These
catalysts could efficiently catalyze the reactions in brine, without the use of
organic solvent, and by employing an almost stoichiometric amount of reagents.
Thus, the products were isolated by simple extractions in excellent yields,
diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities.
