We report a stereoselective conversion of terminal alkynes to α-chiral carboxylic acids using a nickel-catalyzed domino hydrocarboxylation-transfer hydrogenation reaction. A simple nickel/BenzP* catalyst displayed high activity in both steps of regioselective hydrocarboxylation of alkynes and subsequent asymmetric transfer hydrogenation. The reaction was successfully applied in enantioselective preparation of three nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory profens (>90 % ees) and the chiral fragment of AZD2716.

The substrate scope of the old yellow enzyme catalyzed reduction of β-alkyl-β-arylnitroalkenes is investigated. Compounds bearing either alkyl chains of increasing length at the carbon atom in position β to the nitro group or different substituents on the aromatic ring are prepared and submitted to bioreduction, to define the synthetic potential of this enantioselective reaction in the preparation of chiral fine chemicals. The versatility of the resulting nitroalkanes as chiral building blocks is shown by reducing the nitro group into a primary amine and by converting it into a carboxylic acid moiety by Meyer reaction. An "explosion" of chiral products can be observed by combining the highly enantioselective ene-reductase-mediated reduction of nitroalkenes with the chemical versatility of the nitro group.

The synthesis of chiral bidentate bisphosphonite ligands based on the TADDOL motif from readily available starting materials has been developed. Taking advantage of the modular nature of the building blocks, a diverse ligand library has been prepared. Their catalytic potential has been evaluated in the asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene and derivatives. These catalysts showed high activity and provided the aldehydes in high enantiomeric purity.
