A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroesterification of α-aryl acrylic acids with CO and alcohol was developed, preparing a variety of chiral α-substituted succinates in moderate yields with high ee values. The kinetic profile of the reaction progress revealed that the alkene substrate first underwent the hydroesterification followed by esterification with alcohol. The origin of the enantioselectivity was elucidated by density functional theory computation.

The α-oxoesterification of the CC double bond in readily available enaminones enabling efficient synthesis of α-ketoesters is developed. The reactions showing general tolerance to the reactions of primary and secondary alcohols proceed well under air via Rose Bengal (RB)-based photocatalysis. Particularly, this mild synthetic method has been discovered to tolerate various polyhydroxylated substrates such as phenolic alcohol, diols and triols with an excellent selectivity of mono-oxoesterification. What is more noteworthy is that α-ketoester functionalized 16-dehydropregnenolone acetate resulting from the elaboration on a natural product has been obtained practically.
