Although there exists a variety of different catalysts for hydroboration of organic substrates such as aldehydes, ketones, imines, nitriles etc., recent evidence suggests that tetra-coordinate borohydride species, formed by activation, redistribution, or decomposition of boron reagents, are the true hydride donors. We then proposed that Me2S-BH3 could also act as a hydride donor for the reduction of various imines, as similar compounds have been observed to reduce carbonyl substrates. This boron reagent was shown to be an effective and chemoselective hydroboration reagent for a wide variety of imines.

Phosphoramidite ligands are widely used in catalysis and normally constructed from large C2-symmetrical diols such as BINOL or TADDOL. We report here on new ligands based on a set of simple diols that had been previously overlooked. Ligands based on (S,S)-trans-cyclohexanediol and (R,R)-(+)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediol, in combination with both chiral and achiral amines, were tested in 3 different copper-catalyzed asymmetric reactions and up to 89% ee was observed. A different ligand gave the best results in each reaction examined. Using meso-cis-cyclohexanediol and meso-cis-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediol with a chiral non-racemic amine gave diastereomeric ligands bearing achirotopic stereogenic phosphorus atoms which were characterized with the assistance of X-ray crystallography and variable temperature NMR studies. This work provides a new set of ligands that may be useful in some asymmetric reactions when phosphoramidites based on BINOL and TADDOL are ineffective. We also identify a novel stereochemical feature of phosphoramidites that may be useful in asymmetric catalysis and ligand design. (Figure presented.).

Pure and simple: Alkylzirconocenes generated in situ from simple alkenes are used in highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed 1,4-addition reactions to trisubstituted cyclic enones to generate quaternary centers. These reactions operate at room temperature under a range of conditions and tolerate many functional groups. Cp=cyclopentadienyl, Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl. Copyright
