Abstract The 2, 3‐dihydrobenzofuran heterocyclic systems are found in various biologically
active natural and pharmaceutical products of biological relevance such as Phalarine …

Grignard addition is one of the most important methods used for syntheses of alcohol
compounds and has been known for over a hundred years. However, research on …

Compounds bearing oxa-quaternary carbon centers, such as chiral tertiary alcohols, ethers,
esters, and acetals, are widely found in a number of bioactive compounds, natural products …

Nickel catalysts of chiral pyrox ligands promoted enantioselective reductive arylation and
heteroarylation of aldimines, using directly (hetero) aryl halides and sulfonates. The catalytic …

Cobalt complexes with chiral quinox ligands effectively promote the enantioselective
conjugate addition of enones using aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenyl halides and sulfonates …

Metal-catalyzed asymmetric electro-reductive couplings have emerged as a powerful tool for
organic synthesis, wherein a sacrificial anode is typically required. Herein, a parallel paired …

A new class of chiral 2, 2′‐bipyridine ligands, SBpy, featuring minimized short‐range steric
hindrance and structural tunability was rationally designed and developed, and the …

Enantioenriched alcohols comprise much of the framework of organic molecules. Here, we
first report that chiral nickel complexes can catalyze the intermolecular enantioselective …

Ligand‐directed divergent synthesis can transform common starting materials into distinct
molecular scaffolds by simple tuning different ligands. This strategy enables the rapid …

We have developed a nickel‐catalyzed desymmetric reductive cyclization/coupling of 1, 6‐
dienes. The reaction provides an efficient method for constructing a chiral tertiary alcohol …
