Chiral monodentate phosphorous-based ligands have proven effective for the enantioselective hydrogenation of olefins. Binol-derived monodentate phosphorothioite (PS) ligand was synthesized from binol and thiopropyltriethoxysilane, and its iridium complex was covalently anchored to mesoporous silica supports like SBA-15, MCM-41, and MCM-48. These catalysts were characterized by different physicochemical techniques and assessed for their catalytic performances in the heterogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation of itaconic acid and its derivatives. It was found that the catalytic activities and enantioselectivities of the heterogenized iridium complex (IrPSSBA-15) in the hydrogenation reactions were comparable to its homogeneous analogue. Binol-derived monodentate phosphorothioite ligand in heterogeneously anchored form (iridium complex) is a more effective catalyst than the reported monodentate phosphorous ligand systems in the hydrogenation reactions, possibly due to the changes in electronic properties around the iridium metal center. The effects of substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio, solvents, and temperature on substrate conversions and enantioselectivities, of the products were investigated in hydrogenation reactions.

The convergent total synthesis of Sch725674 has been accomplished by starting from (R)-1,2-epoxyheptane and assembling five modules in a highly stereoselective manner to give the final product in 6.6\% overall yield. The same strategy was extended to the synthesis of its C-4 epimer. Key reactions of the synthetic pathway include a Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution of an epoxide followed by its regioselective opening through a Yamaguchi-Hirao alkynylation, and ring-closing metathesis reaction to furnish the unique 14-membered ring macrolactone. In addition, the influence of protecting groups on the efficiency of the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) macrocyclization has been studied to maximize its yields.
