Aerobic alcohol oxidations catalyzed by transition metal salts and aminoxyls are prominent examples of cooperative catalysis. Cu/aminoxyl catalysts have been studied previously and feature "integrated cooperativity", in which CuII and the aminoxyl participate together to mediate alcohol oxidation. Here we investigate a complementary Fe/aminoxyl catalyst system and provide evidence for "serial cooperativity", involving a redox cascade wherein the alcohol is oxidized by an in situ-generated oxoammonium species, which is directly detected in the catalytic reaction mixture by cyclic step chronoamperometry. The mechanistic difference between the Cu- and Fe-based catalysts arises from the use iron(III) nitrate, which initiates a NOx-based redox cycle for oxidation of aminoxyl/hydroxylamine to oxoammonium. The different mechanisms for the Cu- and Fe-based catalyst systems are manifested in different alcohol oxidation chemoselectivity and functional group compatibility.

The rhodium-catalyzed deoxygenation and borylation of ketones with B2pin2 have been developed, leading to efficient formation of alkenes, vinylboronates, and vinyldiboronates. These reactions feature mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and excellent functional-group compatibility. Mechanistic studies support that the ketones initially undergo a Rh-catalyzed deoxygenation to give alkenes via boron enolate intermediates, and the subsequent Rh-catalyzed dehydrogenative borylation of alkenes leads to the formation of vinylboronates and diboration products, which is also supported by density functional theory calculations.

Three efficient methods for five-membered ring carbocycle synthesis have been developed from simple starting materials using samarium(II) reagents. A Reformatsky aldol reaction proceeded efficiently with samarium(II) iodide using lithium bromide as an additive. A new intramolecular alkylation of a samarium enolate was realized with a pendant sulfonate ester leaving group. Pinacol cyclization of a simple diketone was also demonstrated giving a diol product in high stereoselectivity. A promising lead result has been established demonstrating enantioselectivity in a chiral ligand controlled Reformatsky aldol reaction.
