A novel nickel-catalyzed highly selective reductive cross-coupling of alkyl bromides and chlorosilanes to construct the C–Si bond has been developed. Under benign reaction conditions, a series of structurally interesting organosilanes can be accessed without Ni-catalyzed isomerization. The utility of this chemistry is illustrated by further transformations of the product. Moreover, the radical mechanism of the reaction is illustrated by control experiments.

The palladium-catalyzed highly regio- and diastereoselective arylboration of alkenylarenes has been developed. This chemistry afforded the benzylic boronic esters with a broad substrate scope, which are valuable synthetic intermediates for organic synthesis. The chiral anion phase-transfer strategy was designed for this transformation to realize the regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective control of this reaction simultaneously.

Human-like collagen promotes the healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers in rats: possible mechanisms, promotes the expression of growth factors, regulates NOS activity, promotes collagen deposition, and reduces inflammatory factors.

A novel high regio- and diastereo-selectivity reductive functionalization of 1,3-diene has been developed using H2O as a stoichiometric hydrogen atom donor.
