A series of N,O-coordinate iridium(III) complexes with a half-sandwich motif bearing Schiff base ligands for catalytic hydrogenation of nitro and carbonyl substrates have been synthesized. All iridium complexes showed efficient catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of ketones, aldehydes, and nitro-containing compounds using clean H2 as reducing reagent. The iridium catalyst displayed the highest TON values of 960 and 950 in the hydrogenation of carbonyl and nitro substrates, respectively. Various types of substrates with different substituted groups afforded corresponding products in excellent yields. All N,O-coordinate iridium(III) complexes 1-4 were well characterized by IR, NMR, HRMS, and elemental analysis. The molecular structure of complex 1 was further characterized by single-crystal X-ray determination.

The asymmetric organocatalytic cascade reaction of cyclic β-oxo aldehydes to 2-hydroxycinnamaldehydes is developed. The bifunctional tertiary amine-thiourea catalyst was used in a rationally designed multiple catalysis where the asymmetric iminium catalysis and thiourea anion-binding catalysis were combined by carboxylate anion as a ternary catalytic system to form a quinary catalyst-substrate complex, providing an efficient protocol for the construction of enantioenriched spiro-bridged or cagelike polyheterocyclic compounds. The reuse of catalysts was also successfully realized.

(+)-Psiguadial B is a diformyl phloroglucinol meroterpenoid that exhibits antiproliferative activity against the HepG2 human hepatoma cancer cell line. This full account details the evolution of a strategy that culminated in the first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-psiguadial B. A key feature of the synthesis is the construction of the trans-cyclobutane motif by a Wolff rearrangement with in situ catalytic, asymmetric trapping of the ketene. An investigation of the substrate scope of this method to prepare enantioenriched 8-aminoquinolinamides is disclosed. Three routes toward (+)-psiguadial B were evaluated that featured the following key steps: (1) an ortho-quinone methide hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition to prepare the chroman framework, (2) a Prins cyclization to form the bridging bicyclo[4.3.1]decane system, and (3) a modified Norrish-Yang cyclization to generate the chroman. Ultimately, the successful strategy employed a ring-closing metathesis to form the seven-membered ring and an intramolecular O-arylation reaction to complete the polycyclic framework of the natural product.
