3. Yushu Jin, Yusuke Makida, Tatsuya Uchida, Ryoichi Kuwano, Ruthenium-catalyzed chemo-and enantioselective hydrogenation of isoquinoline carbocycles, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 10.1021/acs.joc.8b00190, 83, 7, 3829-3839, 2018.04, A chemoselective hydrogenation of isoquinoline carbocycles was achieved by using the catalyst prepared from Ru(methallyl)2(cod) and trans-chelate chiral ligand PhTRAP. The unique chemoselectivity achieved in this hydrogenation could be ascribed to the trans-chelation of the chiral ligand. The procedure for preparing the catalyst strongly affects the reproducibility of the carbocycle hydrogenation. Various 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-substituted isoquinolines were selectively hydrogenated at their carbocycles to afford 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinolines as major products in high yields with moderate or good enantioselectivities. Some mechanistic studies suggested that the stereogenic center was created during the initial addition of H2 to the aromatic ring in the hydrogenation of 5-substituted isoquinolines. In other words, the stereochemical control was accompanied by the dearomatization..
4. Yusuke Makida, Kazumi Usui, Satoshi Ueno, Ryoichi Kuwano, Palladium-catalyzed benzylic substitution of benzyl carbonates with phosphorus nucleophiles, Chemistry Letters, 10.1246/cl.170901, 46, 12, 1814-1817, 2017.01, A wide range of benzyl carbonates reacted with dimethyl phosphonate or diphenylphosphine oxide in the presence of the palladium catalyst, [Pd(η3-allyl)Cl]2DPEphos, to give dimethyl benzylphosphonates and benzyldiphenylphosphine oxides in high yields. The catalytic phosphonylation was applied to the one-pot synthesis of alkenes from the benzyl esters..
5. Yusuke Makida, Yasutaka Matsumoto, Ryoichi Kuwano, Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylation of Benzyl Fluorobenzoates, Synlett, 10.1055/s-0036-1588572, 28, 19, 2573-2576, 2017.12, The decarboxylation of benzyl fluorobenzoates has been developed by using the palladium catalyst prepared in situ from Pd(eta3-allyl)Cp and bulky monophosphine ligand XPhos. The catalytic reaction afforded a range of fluorinated diarylmethanes in good yields with broad functional-group compatibility. The substrates were readily synthesized by condensation of the corresponding benzoic acid with benzyl alcohol. Therefore, the transformation is formally regarded as a cross-coupling reaction between fluorine-containing benzoic acids and benzyl alcohols..

Yushu Jin, Yusuke Makida, Tatsuya Uchida, Ryoichi Kuwano, Ruthenium-catalyzed chemo-and enantioselective hydrogenation of isoquinoline carbocycles, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 10.1021/acs.joc.8b00190, 83, 7, 3829-3839, 2018.04, A chemoselective hydrogenation of isoquinoline carbocycles was achieved by using the catalyst prepared from Ru(methallyl)2(cod) and trans-chelate chiral ligand PhTRAP. The unique chemoselectivity achieved in this hydrogenation could be ascribed to the trans-chelation of the chiral ligand. The procedure for preparing the catalyst strongly affects the reproducibility of the carbocycle hydrogenation. Various 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-substituted isoquinolines were selectively hydrogenated at their carbocycles to afford 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinolines as major products in high yields with moderate or good enantioselectivities.

In other words, the stereochemical control was accompanied by the dearomatization..
7. Yusuke Makida, Masahiro Saita, Takahiro Kuramoto, Kentaro Ishizuka, Ryoichi Kuwano, Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Azaindoles: Chemo- and Enantioselective Reduction of Fused Aromatic Ring Systems Consisting of Two Heteroarenes, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 10.1002/anie.201606083, 55, 39, 11859-11862, 2016.10, High enantioselectivity was achieved for the hydro- genation of azaindoles by using the chiral catalyst, which was prepared from [Ru(h3-methallyl)2(cod)] and a trans-chelating bis(phosphine) ligand (PhTRAP). The dearomative reaction exclusively occurred on the five-membered ring, thus giving the corresponding azaindolines with up to 97:3 enantiomer ratio..
8. Ryuhei Ikeda, Ryoichi Kuwano, Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Isoxazolium Triflates with a Chiral Iridium Catalyst, CHEMISTRY A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, 10.1002/chem.201600732, 22, 25, 8610-8618, 2016.06, The iridium catalyst [IrCl(cod)]2–phosphine–I2 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) selectively reduced isoxazolium triflates to isoxazolines or isoxazolidines in the presence of H2. The iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation proceeded in high-to-good enantioselectivity when an optically active phosphine–oxazoline ligand was used. The 3-substituted 5-arylisoxazolium salts were transformed into 4-isoxazolines with up to 95:5 enantiomeric ratio (e.r.). Chiral cis-isoxazolidines were obtained in up to 89:11 e.r., with no formation of their trans isomers, when the substrates had a primary alkyl substituent at the 5-position. The mechanistic studies indicate that the hydridoiridium(III) species prefers to deliver its hydride to the C5 atom of the isoxazole ring. The hydride attack leads to the formation of the chiral isoxazolidine via a 3-isoxazoline intermediate. Meanwhile, in the selective formation of 4-isoxazolines, hydride attack at the C5 atom may be obstructed by steric hindrance from the 5-aryl substituent..
