A photoredox-catalyzed iminoalkenylation of γ-alkenyl O-acyl oximes has been developed. Readily available alkenylboronic acids serve as alkenylation reagents, leading to densely functionalized pyrrolines. Both (E)- and (Z)-cinnamylpyrrolines are accessible depending on the reaction solvent. In dichloromethane, (E)-cinnamylpyrrolines are produced through a photoredox-mediated single-electron-transfer process. In tetrahydrofuran, (Z)-cinnamylpyrrolines are generated by photocatalytic contra-thermodynamic E-to-Z isomerization of (E)-cinnamylpyrrolines though an energy-transfer pathway. Two stereocenters are established with complete diastereoselectivity and only one diastereomer is isolated.
Lewis Base Catalyzed, Sulfenium Ion Initiated Enantioselective, Spiroketalization Cascade

A Lewis base catalyzed, enantioselective sulfenocyclization of alkenes to afford [6,6]spiroketals has been developed. The method uses a chiral Lewis base catalyst with an electrophilic sulfur source to generate enantioenriched thiiranium ion with alkenes. Upon formation, the thiiranium ion is subsequently captured in a cascade-type reaction, wherein a ketone oxygen serves as the nucleophile to open the thiiranium ion and an alcohol provides the secondary cyclization to form biorelevant spiroketals. A variety of electron-rich and electron-neutral E-substituted styrenes form the desired spiroketals in good yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. Alkyl-substituted and terminal alkenes participate in the cascade reaction, but with a limited scope compared to the styrenyl substrates. This method allows for rapid formation of highly substituted spiroketals in good yield and excellent enantioselectivity.

A weakly coordinating monodentate heteroaryl thioether directing group has been developed for use in Pd(II) catalysis to orchestrate key elementary steps in the catalytic cycle that require conformational flexibility in a manner that is difficult to accom
