Technical Notes:

1. High enantiose lectivity in iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation.

2. Kinetic resolution of planar-chiral (n6- arene chromium complexes by molybdenum-catalyzed asymmetric ring- closing metathesis.

3.Palladium(l)/Bronsted acid-catalyzed enantioselective oxidative carbocycliization-borylation of enallenes.

4. Branch-selective and enantioselective hydroarylation of alkenes via anilide-directed c -H oxidative addition using iridium as a catalyst
