Summary: This paper mostly focuses on aysemmtrical hydrogenation of "largely unfunctionalized" alkenes. It summarises the many metals that catalyze these reactions.

Summary: This paper focuses the selective reduction of a range of 3-hydroxy ketones with triacetoxyborohydride. The paper continues to detail their hypothesis of the mechanism for the reduction that produces the principal 1,3-diol product.

Summary: This paper talks about the synthesis of 1-19 carbon building blocks of Halichondrins (A-C). They used the selective activation/coupling of polyhalogenated nucleophiles. Acetylenic ketones were taking place with aldehydes in (Ni)/Cr-mediated reactions.

Summary: This paper was on Hasubanan and Acutimine Alkaloid Syntheses and how the reactivity of the functional groups that take place in them can be modified through the use of different substrates. Essentially they tested out the different substrates and looked at their impact on reactivity.

Calandra, N. A.; Herzon, S. B.; King, S. M. J. Org. Chem. 2013, 78(20), 10031–10057.

Summary: In this paper, a general strategy for preparing haubanan and acutimine syntheses was given. There is an enantioselective Diels-Alder was used, and they describe the enantioselectivity of the reaction between 5-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadiene (36) and 5-(2-azidoethyl)-2,3- dimethoxybenzoquinone. Carbon–carbon bond formation included highly diastereoselective acetylide additions to a N-methyliminium ion and Friedel–Crafts and Hosomi–Sakurai cyclizations to construct the carbocyclic skeleton of the target molecules.

Summary: This paper discuess the synthesis of a new family of ruthenium complexes bearing the carbodicarbene-type ligand "cyclic bent allene" (CBA) from the common precursor RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)(3). Complexes were evaluated for catalytic activity in the room-temperature hydrogenation of unactivated olefins and were found to be significantly more active than known ruthenium hydrido-carbonyl phosphine or NHC complexes.

Summary: In this paper, four different Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation (AHF) tandem reactions were developed in the context of the total syntheses of (+)-patulolide C, (−)-pyrenophorol, (+)-decarestrictine L, and (+)-Prelog–Dieresis lactone. In summary, these syntheses have greatly improved efficiency in terms of atom-economy, catalytic stereo selective

Summary: This paper discusses functional group taxonomy and how it provides a powerful conceptual framework to classify and predict the chemical reactivity of molecular structures. In this perspective, we explain how substrate-modified functional group reactivity molded our synthetic routes to the hasubanan and acutumine alkaloids. These investigations underscore the potential for discovery and insight that can only be gained by studying the reactivity of complex multifunctional structures.
