An expedient synthesis of α-aminoboronic acid derivatives via cobalt-catalyzed remote site-selective hydroboration of unactivated alkenes is described herein. The strategy is characterized by its simplicity, site-selectivity, and wide substrate scope, as both terminal and internal alkenes could undergo the reaction smoothly, affording the corresponding products in good yields. According to the mechanism, Co-H is generated from Co(acac) in the presence of HBpin, which starts the chain-walking strategy via a series of alkene insertion and β-H elimination process.

The construction of atropisomers bearing multiple stereogenic elements has attracted considerable interest, given their broad utility in asymmetric catalysis, pharmaceuticas, and functional materials. Herein, we report a highly efficient cobalt-catalyzed atroposelective C-H activation-annulation reaction that simultaneously establishes two remote C-N chiral axes in a single operation. This approach proceeds under oxygen conditions by using a commercially available cobalt(II) catalyst in conjunction with a chiral salicyloxazoline (Salox) ligand.

C-N axially chiral compounds represent an important class of atropisomers that are prevalent in bioactive and material molecules. Despite recent advances in synthetic methodologies, the asymmetric construction of atropisomers featuring multiple C-N axes has been rarely explored, significantly limiting their further applications. Herein, we report a novel atroposelective synthesis of diaxially chiral pyridoindolones featuring both six-five and six-six C-N axes through cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric C-H annulation.

Heteroatomic groups in alkenes typically direct thermodynamically favored chain walking of C═C bonds toward themselves, thereby facilitating C-H bond functionalization near the heteroatoms. We present herein an efficient cobalt-catalyzed contra-thermodynamic remote hydroboration of alkenylboronates with pinacolborane to synthesize chiral 1,-diboronates. This protocol features a broad substrate scope, high functional group tolerance, and excellent enantioselectivity.

Saturated heterocycles, which incorporate S and O heteroatoms, serve as fundamental frameworks in a diverse array of natural products, bioactive compounds, and pharmaceuticals. Herein, we describe a unique cobalt-catalyzed approach integrated with a desymmetrization strategy, facilitating precise and enantioselective remote hydroalkylation of unactivated heterocyclic alkenes. This method delivers hydroalkylation products with high yields and excellent stereoselectivity, representing good efficiency in constructing alkyl chiral centers at remote C3-positions within five-membered S/O-heterocycles.
