Asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions with β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters are valuable because the resulting chiral ketoester compounds can be converted into various useful species that are often used as chiral building blocks in drug and natural product synthesis. However, β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters have two reactive points in terms of nucleophilic additions, which will lead to the 1,4-adduct, the 1,2-adduct and to the combined 1,4- and 1,2-adduct. Therefore, controlling this chemoselectivity is an important factor for the development of these transformations. Here, we developed an asymmetric 1,4-addition of aryl boronic acids to β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters by using heterogeneous chiral rhodium nanoparticle systems with a chiral diene ligand bearing a secondary amide moiety. The newly developed polydimethylsilane-immobilized rhodium nanoparticle catalysts showed high activity, high chemoselectivity, and excellent enantioselectivity, and this is the first heterogeneous catalytic system for this asymmetric reaction. Metal nanoparticle catalysts were recovered and reused without loss of activity or leaching of metal. (Figure presented.).

A chemoselective rhodium-catalyzed borylation has been developed for the preparation of aryl boronate esters. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with excellent selectivity for C-I bonds in bromoiodoarenes and exhibits broad functional group tolerance. This procedure can act as a complementary approach toward bifunctional arenes along with other metal-catalyzed borylations. Additionally, the reaction's utility in the preparation of monomers for metal-catalyzed cross-coupling polymerization is demonstrated.

The synthesis and resolution of new tridentate isoquinoline-derived ligands has been developed. The key steps in the synthetic sequence include successive, chemo-selective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings of 1,3-dichloroisoquinoline with suitable arylboronic acids. The new ligands prepared in this manner were resolved either via molecular complexation with N-benzylcinchonidinium chloride as with 1-[3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)isoquinolin-1-yl]naphthalen-2-ol or via chromatographic separation of its epimeric camphorsulfonates as for 1,3-bis-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)isoquinoline. 4-tert-Butyl-2-chloro-6-[1-(2-hydroxymethylnaphthalen-1-yl)isoquinolin-3-yl]phenol was resolved by chiral semi-preparative HPLC. The application of these ligands in the diethylzinc addition to aldehydes was investigated. In certain cases, the desired secondary alcohols were obtained in high yield with excellent enantiomeric excess (ee > 99%) at low catalyst loading (1 mol%).
