“…Over the past two decades, reactions that rely on organocatalysts have emerged as important catalytic systems in asymmetric and conventional synthesis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The utilization of organocatalysts has garnered interest because they are robust, inexpensive, environmentally benign, and easily recoverable, among other advantageous characteristics.…”

Organocatalysts are abundantly used for various transformations, particularly to obtain highly enantio- and diastereomeric pure products by controlling the stereochemistry. These applications of organocatalysts have been the topic of several reviews. Organocatalysts have emerged as one of the very essential areas of research due to their mild reaction conditions, cost-effective nature, non-toxicity, and environmentally benign approach that obviates the need for transition metal catalysts and other toxic reagents. Various types of organocatalysts including amine catalysts, Brønsted acids, and Lewis bases such as N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysts, cinchona alkaloids, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), and hydrogen bond-donating catalysts, have gained renewed interest because of their regioselectivity. In this review, we present recent advances in regiodivergent reactions that are governed by organocatalysts. Additionally, we briefly discuss the reaction pathways of achieving regiodivergent products by changes in conditions such as solvents, additives, or the temperature.

Photoredox Catalytic Phosphite‐Mediated Deoxygenation of α‐Diketones Enables Wolff Rearrangement and Staudinger Synthesis of β‐Lactams

A novel visible‐light‐driven catalytic activation of C=O bonds by exploiting the photoredox chemistry of 1,3,2‐dioxaphospholes, readily accessible from α‐diketones and trialkyl phosphites, is reported. This mild and environmentally friendly strategy provides an unprecedented and efficient access to the Wolff rearrangement reaction which traditionally entails α‐diazoketones as precursors. The resulting ketenes could be precisely trapped by alcohols/thiols to give α‐aryl (thio)acetates and by imines to afford the valuable β‐lactams in up to 99 % yields.

Enantioselective Iridium‐Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of Dienes with Oxetanones and N‐Acyl‐Azetidinones Mediated by 2‐Propanol

Cyclometallated iridium-PhanePhos complexes generated in situ from [Ir(cod)Cl] 2 and (R)-PhanePhos catalyze 2-propanol-mediated reductive couplings of 2-substituted dienes with oxetanone and Nacyl-azetidinones to form branched homoallylic oxetanols and azetidinols with excellent control of regio-and enantioselectivity without CÀ C cleavage of the strained ring via enantiotopic π-facial selection of transient allyliridium nucleophiles. This work represents the first systematic study of enantioselective additions to symmetric ketones.
