Abstract
The enantioselective construction of quaternary carbon centers is a marked challenge in asymmetric catalysis research. It is extremely difficult when a chiral catalyst can not distinguish the facial selectivity of the substrate through bond interactions. Here we realized an enantioselective Michael reaction of silyl ketene imines to 1-acrylpyrazoles using a chiral N,N'-dioxide-Co(II) complex. The protocol is highly efficient for the construction of nitrile-, aryl-, and dialkyl-bearing carbon centers and has been successful applied in the divergent synthesis of pharmaceuticals and natural products. The through-space dispersion interactions between unbound silyl ketene imines and the 1-acrylpyrazole-bonded catalyst play a key role in facilitating the reactivity and the enantioselectivity of this process.

Abstract
Facile and modular access to stereodefined disubstituted aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers allowed their successful application in a stereoselective aldol reaction affording the products with excellent yields and diastereomeric ratios. The counter-intuitive stereochemical behavior of this Mukaiyama-aldol reaction is accounted for by a non-classical open transition state.

Abstract
Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) with robust architectures, facilely tunable pore sizes and large specific surface areas have emerged as an important class of porous materials due to their demonstrated prospects in various fields, e.g. gas storage/separation and heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, two new pyrrole-based CMPs with large specific surface areas and good stabilities were successfully prepared by one-step oxidative self-polycondensation of 1,2,4,5-tetra (pyrrol-2-ly)benzene or 1,3,5-tri (pyrrol-2-ly)benzene, respectively. Interestingly, both CMPs showed very high catalytic activity toward Knoevenagel condensation reaction, which was attributed to the inherent pore channels, high specific surface areas and abundant nitrogen sites within CMPs. Additionally, both CMPs displayed excellent recyclability with negligible degradation after 10 cycles. This work provides new possibilities into designing novel nitrogen-rich high-performance heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
The selective synthesis of mono-N-methyl aromatic amines was achieved by the reaction of aromatic nitroso compounds with methylboronic acid promoted by triethylphosphite under transition metal-free conditions. The target compounds are constructed efficiently without overmethylation, under environmentally benign reaction conditions that do not require bases or reductants and therefore are of interest in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and chemical industries.

Abstract
An organoaluminum-free and catalyst-free anti-carboalumination of alkynes using aluminum trihalides and silyl ketene imines was developed. Three components, an alkyne, AlX3, and a silyl ketene imine, were simply mixed to give the alkenylaluminum bearing a cyano group with regioselectivity. Theoretical calculations revealed the effective activation of the alkyne by AlX3 to enhance the regioselective carboalumination. The synthesized alkenylaluminums were applicable to many organic transformations.

We report a divergent and modular protocol for the preparation of acyclic molecular frameworks containing newly created quaternary carbon stereocenters. Central to this approach is a sequence composed of a (1) regioselective and -retentive preparation of allyloxycarbonyl-trapped fully substituted stereodefined amide enolates and of a (2) enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation reaction using a novel bisphosphine ligand.

Abstract
An efficient, metal-free approach to 3-substituted 3-hydroxyoxindole by DBU-mediated highly diastereoselective addition of aryl acetonitrile to N-protected isatin under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly to produce respective cyanomethylated adducts in good yield and excellent diastereoselectivity. Further transformation of the cyanide group allowed the synthesis of an advance intermediate of corresponding (±) CPC analogue. The mechanistic insight toward the aldol-type cyanomethylation of N-tritylisatin with benzyl cyanide was obtained by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Nitrile anions do not necessarily lack stereochemical integrity and we show good results for stereospecific reaction with a simple magnesium base.
We report the deprotonation of a chiral nitrile and reaction of the resulting chiral organometallic species with a variety of electrophiles to give highly enantiomerically enriched 2-substituted nitrile products. The nitrile was treated with TMPMgCl and the resulting anion, an asymmetric alpha cyano Grignard species, was found to be configurationally stable at low temperature for a short time (half-life several minutes at –104 °C).

Abstract
Since the discovery of the Mukaiyama aldol reaction more than 40 years ago, several landmark publications have inspired researchers in the field. The Mukaiyama AR is one of the most significant named reactions in organic synthesis. In the past few decades, development of the modern AR has been at the forefront in addressing the challenges of regio-, chemo-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity in organic synthesis. All of these selectivity challenges maybe present in a single pair of reactants, thus controlling the outcome of such a process has great practical value. More than 10 years ago, our group became involved in this iconic carbon-carbon bond-forming process and attempted to very closely investigate all possible features of the AR to solve several issues still encountered by chemists, most notably the selectivity challenges mentioned above. In this context, our group initiated the second generation of the AR based on a Lewis or Brønsted acid-catalyzed process in conjunction with the use of a "super silyl" (tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl) directing group, which has demonstrated unrivalled properties in controlling the outcome of the AR. Using the extraordinary power of the super silyl group, we were able to develop new methods and concepts that broadly impacted the ability to control the selectivity attributes and thus allowed for a highly stereoselective construction of polyketide, halogenated polyketide, polypropionate, and polyol scaffolds through inter- and/or intramolecular aldolization protocols. Our diastereoselective ARs of super silyl enol ethers and aldehydes have shown great efficiency and modularity in producing exclusively and preferentially syn- or anti-adducts, creating up to four new adjacent stereocenters in a one-pot sequential manner and under mild reaction conditions. The super silyl-directed AR does not only provide a solution to stereochemistry control challenges, but also offers an efficient, modular and high yielding technique toward nontrivial construction of complex architectures with unprecedented ease. We believe that the new Lewis- or Brønsted-acid-catalyzed super-silyl-directed AR processes chronicled in our laboratories have come to maturity and now offer a "road map" for strategic stereoselective synthesis of polyketide-like units. Herein we report our recent achievements in the diastereoselective C-C bond formation, through the super-silyl-directed AR, toward the synthesis of complex and sophisticated hydroxy aldehydes. We would like to note that due to the extremely broad range of work reported in this field, only stereoselective AR involving aldehyde-derived super SEEs will be discussed in this Account.

Abstract
Herein, a coupling reaction of enol ethers with silyl ketene imines in the presence of catalytic amounts of InBr3 and Me3 SiBr is described. Kinetic studies have revealed that an indium catalyst and Me3 SiBr accelerated the coupling process and the regeneration of the catalyst, respectively. Various types of enol ethers and silyl ketene imines are applicable. In addition, a formal synthesis of verapamil was achieved by using this novel coupling reaction.

Abstract
The regio- and stereoselective formation of stereodefined polysubstituted silyl ketene aminals is easily achieved through selective combined carbometalation-oxidation-silylation reactions. These substrates are ideal candidates for Mukaiyama aldol reactions with aliphatic aldehydes as they give the aldol products with a quaternary carbon stereocenter α to the carbonyl groups in outstanding diastereoselectivities.
