A substantial number of chiral PTCs have now already been discovered and utilized in dependable routes to enantioenriched products. These extend beyond the classical cationic PTCs with the emergence of anionic phase-transfer catalysis and hydrogen-bonding phase-transfer catalysis providing new asymmetric synthetic approaches. Nevertheless, the application level of chiral PTCs in both academic and industrial processes is below our expectation. This Review highlights the notable advances in chiral PTCs, including challenges, limitations and efforts to overcome them. Following this, the potential for sustainable chiral PTCs is described with a focus on using photocatalysed, flow and electrochemical synthesis. Chiral phase-transfer catalysts are practical and powerful organocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis. This Review illustrates notable recent advances of chiral phase-transfer catalysts, including challenges, limitations and potential solutions, as well as future opportunities to improve sustainability.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

Many valorization schemes rely on lignin depolymerization, with decades of research focused on accessing monomers through C–O bond cleavage, given the abundance of β–O–4 bonds in lignin and the large number of available C–O bond cleavage strategies. Monomer yields are, however, invariably lower than desired, owing to the presence of recalcitrant C–C bonds whose selective cleavage remains a major challenge in catalysis. In this Review, we highlight lignin C–C cleavage reactions, including those of linkages arising from biosynthesis (β–1, β–5, β–β and 5–5) and industrial processing (5–CH2–5 and α–5). We examine multiple approaches to C–C cleavage, including homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis and biocatalysis, to identify promising strategies for further research and provide guidelines for definitive measurements of lignin C–C bond cleavage. To date, monomer yields from lignin are limited to those attainable through C–O bond cleavage. Cleaving C–C bonds often leads to deleterious product degradation and low monomer yields. Herein we review lignin C–C cleavage reports and advocate for a standardized reporting of yields.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

The use of nickel complexes in chain-walking strategies has recently gained considerable momentum owing to their versatility for forging sp3 architectures and their redox promiscuity that facilitates both one-electron or two-electron reaction manifolds. This Review discusses the relevance and impact that these processes might have in synthetic endeavours, including mechanistic considerations when appropriate. Particular emphasis is given to the latest discoveries that leverage the potential of Ni-catalysed chain-walking scenarios for tackling transformations that would otherwise be difficult to accomplish, including the merger of chain-walking with other new approaches such as photoredox catalysis or electrochemical activation. Ni-catalysed chain-walking blossomed as an effective synthetic tool to functionalize C(sp3)–H bonds in hydrocarbon chains. This Review provides a detailed overview of the most recent advances in this field, focusing on site-selective and regioselective manipulations at previously out-of-reach C(sp3)–H sites.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

Proteins and nucleic acids have sustained evolution and life for billions of years, but both are condensation polymers, suggesting that their formation requires the elimination of water. This presents intrinsic challenges at the origins of life, including how condensation polymer synthesis can overcome the thermodynamic pressure of hydrolysis in water and how nucleophiles can kinetically outcompete water to yield condensation products. The answers to these questions lie in balancing thermodynamic activation and kinetic stability. For peptides, an effective strategy is to directly harness the energy trapped in prebiotic molecules, such as nitriles, and avoid the formation of fully hydrolysed monomers. In this Review, we discuss how chemical energy can be built into precursors, retained, and released selectively for polymer synthesis. Looking to the future, the outstanding goals include how nucleic acids can be synthesized, avoiding the formation of fully hydrolysed monomers and what caused information to flow from nucleic acids to proteins. Water is essential for life but paradoxically considered detrimental to the origins of life. Here, we discuss whether avoiding hydrolysed monomers and exploiting the chemical energy in prebiotic precursors may hold the missing key to unlocking biopolymer synthesis.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

Most of these reactions use an organoboron starting material that contains just one C(sp2)–B or C(sp3)–B bond; however, there has been a recent and accelerating trend to prepare multiborylated alkanes that possess two or more C(sp3)–B bonds. This is despite a lack of general reactivity, meaning many of these compounds currently offer limited downstream synthetic value. This Review summarizes recent advances in the exploration of multiborylated alkanes, including a discussion on how these products may be elaborated in further synthetic manipulations. Monoborylated alkanes display diverse reactivity and broad application; however, despite an increasing number of approaches to access them, multiborylated alkanes have yet to realize their synthetic potential. This Review highlights the current state-of-the-art in approaches to and synthetic applications of multiborylated alkanes.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.
