The Hantzsch ester anion acts not only as a photoreductant in the catalyst-free desulfurative coupling of alkyl benzothiazolyl sulfides with alkenes/alkynes, but also as a sacrificial reductant in an alternative organocatalytic reaction. The utility of this protocol is expanded to radical C-glycosylation, which includes a protective group-free substrate.

Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry  2022, 11, e202100773. (DOI: 10.1002/ajoc.202100773) 

A new application of amido-functionalized allylboronates to asymmetric 1,4-addition in water has been developed. Extremely high enantioselective 1,4-addition was achieved by employing N-mesityl maleimide as a substrate under CuSO4/bis(oxazoline) catalysis, affording the adduct with >99% ee.

Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, 2020362, 2397-2418. (DOI: 10.1002/adsc.202000195)

Enantioselective reaction of water‐stable amido‐functionalized allylboronates with acetophenone derivatives in water is reported. The reaction was catalyzed with zinc hydroxide and a didecylamino‐functionalized chiral aminophenol reagent, affording a variety of homoallylic alcohols in up to 99% yield. The enantiomeric excess of the product reached up to 98%.
