The first example of a homogeneous gold(III)-catalysed epoxidation of aromatic alkenes at room temperature using sodium chlorite as the stoichiometric oxidant in a homogeneous trisolvent system of 2-methoxyethanol/acetonitrile/ water (volume ratio: 1/3/1)

A nonenzymatic kinetic resolution of sterically congested alcohols having a quaternary carbon atom in the β-position is reported. The catalyst system CuCl/NaOtBu/(R,R)-Ph-BPE together with a 3,5-xylyl-substituted tertiary hydrosilane enable enantioselective silylation of the hydroxy group. Several alcohols are obtained with good to excellent selectivity factors, and there are no other known straightforward methods to access these motifs.
Nickel-Catalyzed Selective Reduction of Carboxylic Acids to Aldehydes

The direct reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes is a fundamental transformation in organic synthesis. The combination of an air-stable Ni precatalyst, dimethyl dicarbonate as an activator, and silane reductant effects this reduction for a wide variety of substrates, including pharmaceutically relevant structures, in good yields and with no overreduction to alcohols. Moreover, this methodology is scalable, allows access to deuterated aldehydes, and is also compatible with one-pot utilization of the aldehyde products.
Br?nsted Acid-Catalyzed Intramolecular Hydroarylation of β-Benzylstyrenes
Cai, Xiao,Keshavarz, Amir,Omaque, Justin D.,Stokes, Benjamin J.
, p. 2626 - 2629 (2017/05/24)
Using triphenylmethylium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate as a convenient Br?nsted acid precatalyst, β-(α,α-dimethylbenzyl)styrenes are shown to cyclize efficiently to afford a variety of new indanes that possess a benzylic quaternary center. The geminal dimethyl-containing quaternary center is proposed to be necessary to arm the substrate for cyclization through steric biasing.
