Article Abstract
We describe a highly efficient route for the synthesis of 4a (BMS-986104). A key step in the synthesis is the asymmetric hydroboration of trisubstituted alkene 6. Particularly given the known difficulties involved in this type of transformation (6 → 7), the current methodology provides an efficient approach to prepare this class of compounds. In addition, we disclose the efficacy of 4a in a mouse EAE model, which is comparable to 4c (FTY720). Mechanistically, 4a exhibited excellent remyelinating effects on lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) induced demyelination in a three-dimensional brain cell culture assay.

Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of alkenes is one of the most straightforward methods for the synthesis of chiral organoboron compounds and has been well-established. While significant progress has been made in the catalytic enantioselective hydroboration of simple dienes, the development of regiodivergent and enantioselective hydroboration of more challenging substrates such as heteroatom-substituted or trisubstituted dienes remains limited. Here, we disclose a cobalt-catalyzed regiodivergent and enantioselective hydroboration of dienol ethers using a commercially available Co(acac) catalyst and chiral ligands.

Chiral scaffolds are essential to the advancement of asymmetric synthesis, yet the development of privileged motifs that more effectively communicate asymmetry constitutes a grand challenge for chemists. Here we describe a method using a confined chiral Brønsted acid catalyst to combine two inexpensive and widely available materials-indole and acetone-into a class of C₂-symmetric, spirocyclic compounds called SPINDOLE. SPINDOLEs extend the versatility of established frameworks by offering greater flexibility and ease of synthesis.

A copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective hydroboration of 1-trifluoromethylseleno (SeCF)-alkenes with H-Bpin has been developed. The regio- and enantioselective hydrocupration of an generated CuH species is followed by a boration reaction to successfully construct a SeCF- and Bpin-substituted chiral carbon center. The key to success is the appropriate choice of Bu-modified biphosphine ligands, which enables an overwhelming high reaction efficiency.

Enolates are ubiquitous intermediates in organic synthesis. Among them, boron enolates exhibit distinctive reactivity patterns and selectivities due to the presence of a boron atom, making their synthesis highly attractive. Although methods for accessing ketone- or ester-derived boron enolates are well-developed, much less progress has been made in the development of aldehyde-derived boron enolates due to aldehydes' high tendency toward self-condensation.

Chiral binaphthols (BINOL)-metal combinations serve as powerful catalysts in asymmetric synthesis. Their chiral induction mode, however, typically relies on multifarious non-covalent interactions between the substrate and the BINOL ligand. In this work, we demonstrate that the chiral-at-metal stereoinduction mode could serve as an alternative mechanism for BINOL-metal catalysis, based on mechanistic studies of BINOL-aluminum-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of heteroaryl ketones.
