Enantioselective redox transformations typically rely on costly transition metals as catalysts and often stoichiometric amounts of chemical agents well. Electrocatalysis represents a more sustainable alternative, in particular through the use hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) place oxidant. In this work, we describe strategies for HER-coupled enantioselective aryl carbon-hydrogen bond (C-H) activation reactions using cobalt precious metal catalyst asymmetric oxidation. Thus, highly nitrogen-hydrogen (C-H N-H) annulations carboxylic amides were achieved, which gave access to point axially chiral compounds. Furthermore, cobalt-mediated electrocatalysis enabled preparation various phosphorus (P)-stereogenic compounds by selective desymmetrization dehydrogenative C-H reactions.

In recent years, the merging of electrosynthesis with 3d metal catalyzed C-H activation has emerged as a sustainable and powerful technique in organic synthesis. Despite impressive advantages, development an enantioselective version remains elusive poses daunting challenge. Herein, we report first electrooxidative cobalt-catalyzed enantio- regioselective C-H/N-H annulation olefins using undivided cell at room temperature (up to 99 % ee). t Bu-Salox, rationally designed Salox ligand bearing bulky tert-butyl group ortho-position phenol, was found be crucial for this asymmetric reaction. A strong cooperative effect between Bu-Salox 3,4,5-trichloropyridine enabled highly more challenging α-olefins without secondary bond interactions 96 ee 97 : 3 rr).

Metalla-electrocatalyzed C-H oxygenation represents one of the most straightforward and sustainable approaches to access valuable oxygenated molecules. Despite significant advances, development enantioselective electrochemical reaction is very challenging remains elusive. Herein, we described first CoII -catalyzed alkoxylation. A broad range enantioenriched alkoxylated phosphinamides were obtained in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up 98 % yield >99 ee). An unusual cobalt(III) alcohol complex was prepared fully characterized, which proven be a key intermediate this alkoxylation reaction. Mechanistic studies revealed that oxidation CoIII CoIV facilitated by base whole process proceeded through cobalt(III/IV/II) catalytic cycle.
