Computational studies revealed that dirhodium tetrakis(1,2,2‐triarylcyclopropanecarboxylate) (Rh2(TPCP)4) catalysts adopt distinctive high symmetry orientations, which are dependent on the nature of the aryl substitution pattern. The parent catalyst, Rh2(TPCP)4, and those with a

Abstract p ‐substituent at the C1 aryl, such as Rh2(p ‐BrTPCP)4and Rh2(p ‐PhTPCP)4, adopt aC 2‐symmetric structure. Rh2(3,5‐di(p ‐t BuC6H4)TPCP)4, 3,5‐disubstituted at the C1 aryl, adopts aD 2‐symmetric structure, whereas catalysts with ano ‐substituent at the C1 aryl, such as Rh2(o ‐Cl‐5‐BrTPCP)4,adopt aC 4‐symmetric structure. -

Abstract A novel
C 3symmetric 1,1’‐bi‐2‐naphthol‐based Schiff base (R ,R ,R )‐6 has been synthesized which shows highly selective fluorescence enhancement with Zn2+among 21 metal cations examined. Its sensitivity and selectivity are found to be greater than other relatedC 2(1 ) andC 1[(R )‐9 ] symmetric compounds in the fluorescent recognition of Zn2+. The mechanistic study reveals that the selective fluorescence enhancement of the probe can be attributed to the formation of a unimolecular multidentate 6‐coordinated Zn2+complex. -

Abstract Whether tetra‐
tert ‐butyl‐s ‐indacene is a symmetricD 2hstructure or a bond‐alternatingC 2hstructure remains a standing puzzle. Close agreement between experimental and computed proton chemical shifts based on minima structures optimized at the M06‐2X, ωB97X‐D, and M11 levels confirm a bond‐localizedC 2hsymmetry, which is consistent with the expected strong antiaromaticity of Tt B‐s ‐indacene. -

Abstract Allylboron reagents are popular in synthesis owing to their versatility and the predictable stereochemical outcomes of their reactions with carbonyl compounds. Herein, we describe the synthesis of (
Z ,Z )‐hexadienyl bis‐boronate1 , a configurationally stable, crystalline, and easy to handle compound, which represents a class of bis‐allylic boron reagents with heretofore untapped synthetic potential. In combination with a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst, the reagent can be employed for the enantioselective allyl transfer reaction to a variety of one‐pot transformations, enabling swift access to functionalized 1,n ‐diols. The in situ conversion of the reagent into the corresponding bis‐borinic ester allows for the direct and diastereoselective two‐fold allyl transfer to aldehydes. This affordsC 2‐ orCi ‐symmetric stereotetrads containing a 1,4‐diol moiety for natural product synthesis. The usefulness of our method was demonstrated with a short synthesis of the lignan (±)‐neo‐olivil.
