Abstract
Axially chiral carboxylic acids are important motifs in chiral catalysts and ligands. We herein reported the synthesis of axially chiral carboxylic acids via Pd(II)-catalyzed atroposelective C-H olefination using carboxylic acid as the native directing group. A broad range of axial chiral biaryl-2-carboxylic acids were synthesized in good yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 84% yield with 99% ee). Gram-scale reaction and further transformation reactions also provide a platform for synthetic applications of this method.

Abstract
Herein we prepared the novel LaF3·Pd nanocatalyst characterized by XRD and TEM analysis. The nanocatalyst was applied in Suzuki coupling reaction for the synthesis of biaryls in aqueous medium from readily available aryl halides (bromides and iodides) and substituted phenylboronic acids in the presence of K2CO3 as the base at 70 °C. The present method is capable of giving the C-C coupled product in good to excellent yields (up to 97%). The reactions were conducted under green conditions in aqueous medium and the nanocatalyst used in this study was recyclable. The recyclability and reusability of the catalyst was checked for seven consecutive cycles without significant loss in reactivity.

Abstract
Axially chiral biaryl ethers and related compounds hold valuable potential in natural products, medicinal chemistry, and catalysis; however, their asymmetric syntheses have always been overlooked compared to other biaryl/hetero-biaryl atropisomers. Unlike the later class molecules bearing a single chiral axis, the former category possesses a unique type of atropisomerism bearing two potential axes. Due to their great importance in diverse research domains, catalytic atropselective biaryl ether synthesis has recently witnessed an upsurge. This highlight article provides an elaborated view on the developments of catalytic synthetic methods that have been explored to achieve dual axial chirality in biaryl ethers and related scaffolds.

Abstract
Anthracenylidene is an intriguing structural unit with potential in various fields. The study presents a novel approach to introducing axial chirality into this all-carbon core skeleton through a remotely controlled desymmetrization strategy. A palladium-catalyzed enantioselective Heck arylation of exocyclic double bond of anthracene with two distinct substituents at the C10 position is harnessed to realize such a transformation. The judicious identification of the P-centrally chiral ligand is pivotal to ensure the competitive competence in reactivity and stereocontrol when the heteroatom handle is absent from the anthracenylidene skeleton. Both C10 mono- and disubstituted substrates were compatible for the established catalytic system, and structurally diverse anthracenylidene-based frameworks were forged with good-to-high enantiocontrol. The subsequent derivatization of the obtained products yielded a valuable array of centrally and axially chiral molecules, thus emphasizing the practicality of this chemistry. DFT calculations shed light on the catalytic mechanism and provided insights into the origin of the experimentally observed enantioselectivity for this reaction.

Abstract
There is a pressing need for methods that can connect enantioenriched organic compounds with readily accessible building blocks via asymmetric functionalization of unreactive chemical bonds in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Herein, the asymmetric chemoselective cleavage of two unactivated C(Ar)-O bonds in the same molecule is disclosed for the first time through an unusual nickel-catalyzed carbomagnesiation. This reaction facilitates the evolution of a novel atroposelective ring-opening difunctionalization. Utilizing readily available dibenzo bicyclic substrates, diverse valuable axially chiral biaryls are furnished with high efficiencies. Synthetic elaborations showcase the application potential of this method. The features of this method include good atom-economy, multiple roles of the nucleophile, and a simple catalytic system that enables the precise magnesiation of an α-C(Ar)-O bond and arylation of a β-C(Ar)-O bond.

Abstract
Atropisomeric compounds-stereoisomers that arise from the restricted rotation about a single bond-have attracted widespread attention in recent years due to their immense potential for applications in a variety of fields, including medicinal chemistry, catalysis and molecular nanoscience. This increased interest led to the invention of new molecular motors, the incorporation of atropisomers into drug discovery programmes and a wide range of novel atroposelective reactions, including those that simultaneously control multiple stereogenic axes. A diverse set of synthetic methodologies, which can be grouped into desymmetrizations, (dynamic) kinetic resolutions, cross-coupling reactions and de novo ring formations, is available for the catalyst-controlled stereoselective synthesis of various atropisomer classes. In this Review, we generalize the concepts for the catalyst-controlled stereoselective synthesis of atropisomers within these categories with an emphasis on recent advancements and underdeveloped atropisomeric scaffolds beyond stereogenic C(sp2)-C(sp2) axes. We also discuss more complex systems with multiple stereogenic axes or higher-order stereogenicity.

Abstract
Chiral α-aminophosphonates with adjacent carbon and phosphonate stereogenic centers have been employed as ligands in the copper-catalyzed oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols, resulting in the production of chiral BINOLs in favorable yields and moderate to good enantiomeric excess. This represents the first application of chiral P-based ligands to enable such a transformation. The synthesis of these chiral α-aminophosphonate ligands offers a significant advantage over approaches that typically necessitate elaborate synthetic processes for chiral ligand production.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed/copper-mediated cross-coupling of S-pyrimidinyl thioesters with arylboronic acids to yield biaryls is described. The reaction is likely to proceed via cleavage of the S-C(O) bond and subsequent release of CO, rather than via cleavage of the S-C(pyrimidine) bond and release of SCO, as supported by the results of both experimental and computational studies. The investigation of the reaction scope with various S-pyrimidinyl thioesters and arylboronic acids showed that the reaction is significantly affected by the substituent of the thioester and the presence of a chelatable ortho substituent was found to increase reaction efficiency.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed transannulation reactions triggered by the extrusion of small gaseous molecules have emerged as a powerful strategy for the efficient construction of heterocyclic compounds. However, their use in asymmetric synthesis remains challenging because of the difficulty in controlling stereo- and regioselectivity. Herein, we report the first nickel-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of N-N atropisomers by the denitrogenative transannulation of benzotriazones with alkynes. A broad range of N-N atropisomers was obtained with excellent regio- and enantioselectivity under mild conditions. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided insights into the nickel-catalyzed reaction mechanism and enantioselectivity control.

Abstract
An unprecedented and straightforward route for the asymmetric construction of privileged atroposelective bridged (hetero)biaryl eight-membered scaffolds has been accomplished through chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition of innovative (hetero)biaryl aldehydes with 3-aminooxindole hydrochlorides. A class of eight-membered bridged (hetero)biaryl lactones fused to spiro[pyrrolidine-oxindole] derivatives, possessing both chiral C-C/C-N axes and multiple contiguous stereocenters, were obtained in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities in one step through this direct strategy. In addition, the good scalability and derivatization of the title compounds demonstrated their synthetic utility.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura (SM) coupling is a valuable method for forming C─C bonds, including those between aryl moieties. However, achieving atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral styrenes via SM coupling remains challenging. In this study, a palladium-catalyzed atroposelective Suzuki-Miyaura coupling between gem-diborylalkenes and aryl halides is presented. Using the monophosphine ligand Me-BI-DIME (L2), a range of axially chiral tetra-substituted acyclic styrenes with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities are successfully synthesized. Control experiments reveal that the gem-diboryl group significantly influences the product enantioselectivities and the coupling prefers to occur at sites with lower steric hindrance. Additionally, the alkenyl boronate group in the products proves versatile, allowing for various transformations while maintaining high optical purities.

Abstract
Construction of axially chiral arylpyrazoles represents an attractive challenge due to the relatively low rotational barrier of biaryl structures containing five-membered heterocycles. This work describes the catalytic asymmetric construction of axially chiral arylpyrazoles using 5-aminopyrazoles and naphthoquinone derivatives. The chiral axis could be formed through a central-to-axial chirality relay step of the chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed arylation reaction, which features excellent yields and enantioselectivities with a broad substrate scope under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
Gold-catalyzed cascade cyclization of diynes for the synthesis of previously unexplored C-N axially chiral N-arylbenzo[g]indoles was described. The transformation was achieved via a central-to-axial chirality conversion strategy. The chiral conversion exhibited high efficiency. Besides single C-N chiral axis, N-arylbenzo[g]indoles bearing both C-N and C-C chiral axes were also afforded. The title compound derived monophosphine ligand was prepared and was evaluated in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitutions, showing excellent chiral induction ability.

Abstract
The exploitation of new reactive species and novel transformation modes for their synthetic applications have significantly promoted the development of synthetic organic methodology, drug discovery, and advanced functional materials. α-Iminyl radical cations, a class of distonic ions, exhibit great synthetic potential for the synthesis of valuable molecules. For their generation, radical conjugate addition to α,β-unsaturated iminium ions represents a concise yet highly challenging route, because the in situ generated species are short-lived and highly reactive and they have a high tendency to cause radical elimination (β-scission) to regenerate the more stable iminium ions. Herein, we report a new transformation mode of the α-iminyl radical cation, that is to say, 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT). Such a strategy can generate a species bearing multiple reactive sites, which serves as a platform to realize (asymmetric) relay annulations. The present iron/secondary amine synergistic catalysis causes a modular assembly of a broad spectrum of new structurally fused pyridines including axially chiral heterobiaryls, and exhibits good functional group tolerance. A series of mechanistic experiments support the α-iminyl radical cation-induced 1,5-HAT, and the formation of several radical species in the relay annulations. Various synthetic transformations of the reaction products demonstrate the usefulness of this relay annulation protocol for the synthesis of significant molecules.

Abstract
Stereoselective construction of γ- and δ-stereocenters in carbonyl compounds is a pivotal objective in asymmetric synthesis. Here, we report chiral bifunctional oxazoline-pyridone ligands that enable enantioselective palladium-catalyzed remote γ-C-H (hetero)arylations of free cycloalkane carboxylic acids, which are essential carbocyclic building blocks in organic synthesis. The reaction establishes γ-tertiary and α-quaternary stereocenters simultaneously in up to >99% enantiomeric excess, providing access to a wide range of cyclic chiral synthons and bioactive molecules. The sequential enantioselective editing of two methylene C-H bonds can be achieved by using chiral ligands with opposite configuration to construct carbocycles containing three chiral centers. Enantioselective remote δ-C-H (hetero)arylation is also realized to establish δ-stereocenters that are particularly challenging to access using classical methodologies.

Abstract
Atropoisomeric chemotypes of diaryl ethers-related scaffolds are prevalent in naturally active compounds. Nevertheless, there remains considerable research to be carried out on the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of these axially chiral molecules. In this instance, we disclose an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed synthesis of axially chiral diaryl ethers via atroposelective esterification of dialdehyde-containing diaryl ethers. NHC desymmetrization produces axially chiral diaryl ether atropisomers with high yields and enantioselectivities in moderate circumstances. Chiral diaryl ether compounds may be precursors for highly functionalized diaryl ethers with bioactivity and chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed regio- and stereo-selective phosphination of cyclic biarylsulfonium salts (racemic) with HPAr3Ar4 for straightforward synthesis of atropoisomeric phosphines (P,S-ligands) bearing a stereogenic axis or both a stereogenic axis and a P-stereogenic center is reported. The high reactivity and regio- and stereo-selectivity originate from the torsional strain release and palladium catalysis, and the construction of a P-stereogenic center is enabled by an efficient dynamic kinetic resolution. The high performance of the nascent P,S-ligands has been demonstrated in palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitutions, indicating the great potential of the present methodology.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nonmagnetic semiconductors with large Rashba-Dresselhaus (R-D) spin splitting at valence or conduction bands are attractive for magnetic-field-free spintronic applications. However, so far, the number of 2D R-D inorganic semiconductors has been quite limited, and the factors that determine R-D spin splitting as well as rational design of giant spin splitting, remain unclear. For this purpose, by exploiting 2D chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) as a platform, we theoretically develop a three-step screening method to obtain a series of candidate 2D R-D semiconductors with valence band spin splitting up to 97.2 meV and corresponding R-D coupling constants up to 1.37 eV Å. Interestingly, the valence band spin texture is reversible by flipping the chirality of CMOFs. Furthermore, five keys for obtaining giant R-D spin splitting in 2D CMOFs are successfully identified: (i) chirality, (ii) large spin-orbit coupling, (iii) narrow band gap, (iv) valence and conduction bands having the same symmetry at the Γ point, and (v) strong ligand field.

Abstract
Non-directed C-H arylation is one of the most efficient methods to synthesize biaryl compounds without the need of the prefuctionalization of starting materials, or the installment and removal of directing groups on the substrate. A direct C-H arylation of simple arenes as limiting reactants remains a challenge. Here we disclose a non-directed C-H arylation of anisole derivatives as limiting reagents with aryl iodides under mild reaction conditions. The arylated products are obtained in synthetically useful yields and the arylation of bioactive molecules is also demonstrated. Key to the success of this methodology is the use of a one-step synthesized S,O-ligand.

Abstract
1,1'-Binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine (BINAM) is a useful axially chiral compound. The kinetic resolution of BINAM is one of the most crucial methods for synthesizing chiral BINAM. We have developed a chiral calcium phosphate-catalyzed kinetic resolution of BINAM by utilizing an acylation reaction to produce a mono-amide. The kinetic resolution of BINAM derivatives was achieved by using isobutyric anhydride in the presence of chiral calcium phosphate and 4-morpholinopyridine with up to s = 127. 6,6'-Substituted BINAM derivatives were also applicable for this reaction. The resulting mono-acylated BINAM could be transformed into BINAM by hydrolysis under acidic conditions.

Abstract
The assembly of chiral molecules with multiple stereogenic elements is challenging, and, despite of indisputable advances, largely limited to toxic, cost-intensive and precious metal catalysts. In sharp contrast, we herein disclose a versatile C-H alkylation using a non-toxic, low-cost iron catalyst for the synthesis of substituted indoles with two chiral elements. The key for achieving excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity was substitution on a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene ligand providing steric hindrance and extra represented by noncovalent interaction for the concomitant generation of C-N axial chirality and C-stereogenic center. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies have unraveled the origin of the catalytic efficacy and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Axially chiral molecular scaffolds are widely present in therapeutic agents, natural products, catalysts, and advanced materials. The construction of such molecules has garnered significant attention from academia and industry. The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral biaryls, along with other non-biaryl axially chiral molecules, has been extensively explored in the past decade. However, the atroposelective synthesis of C-O axial chirality remains largely underdeveloped. Herein, we document a copper-catalyzed atroposelective construction of C-O axially chiral compounds using novel 1,8-naphthyridine-based chiral ligands. Mechanistic investigations have provided good evidence in support of a mechanism involving synergistic interplay between a desymmetrization reaction and kinetic resolution process. The method described in this study holds great significance for the atroposelective synthesis of C-O axially chiral compounds, with promising applications in organic chemistry. The utilization of 1,8-naphthyridine-based ligands in copper catalysis is anticipated to find broad applications in asymmetric copper(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions (CuAACs) and beyond.

Abstract
The Py-Conformational-Sampling (PyCoSa) technique is introduced as a systematic computational means to sample the configurational space of transition-metal-catalyzed stereoselective reactions. When applied to atroposelective Suzuki-Miyaura coupling to create axially chiral biaryl products, the results show a range of mechanistic possibilities that include multiple low-energy channels through which C-C bonds can be formed.

Abstract
We herein present an electrochemical method for the dehydrogenative cross-coupling of N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-sulfonamides and 2-naphthols. This transformation provides a direct and scalable approach to a wide range of C1-symmetric 2,2'-bis(arenol)s with moderate to high yields under mild conditions. Preliminary attempts with the asymmetric variant of this reaction were also performed with ≤55% ee for the synthesis of 2,2'-bis(arenol)s. Control experiments were conducted to propose a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric construction of axially chiral C-N atropisomers remains a formidable challenge due to their low rotational barriers and is largely reliant on toxic, cost-intensive, and precious metal catalysts. In sharp contrast, we herein describe the first nickel-catalyzed atroposelective C-H alkylation for the construction of C-N axially chiral compounds with the aid of a chiral heteroatom-substituted secondary phosphine oxide (HASPO)-ligated Ni-Al bimetallic catalyst. A wide range of alkenes, including terminal and internal alkenes, were well compatible with the reaction, providing a variety of benzimidazole derivatives in high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 97:3 e.r.). The key to success was the identification of novel HASPOs as highly effective chiral preligands. Mechanistic studies revealed the catalyst mode of action, and in-depth data science analysis elucidated the key features of the responsible chiral preligands in controlling the enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Atropisomeric N-chloroamides were efficiently accessed by electrophilic halogenation of ortho-substituted secondary anilides. The stereodynamics of atropisomerism in these novel scaffolds was interrogated by detailed experimental and computational studies, revealing that racemization is correlated with amide isomerization. The stereoelectronic nature of the amide was shown to significantly influence racemization rates, with potentially important implications for other C-N atropisomeric scaffolds.

Abstract
A dynamic thermodynamic resolution method for converting (R/S)-BINOL (1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol) into (R)-BINOL in 100% theoretical yield is reported. This technique involves mixing (R/S)-BINOL with N-benzyl cinchonidinium bromide (1 equiv) and a [Cu2(tmeda)2(μ-OH)2]Br2 (2.5 mol %) redox catalyst in acetonitrile. In the background of this process is the observation that the energy for atropoisomerization decreases significantly when an electron is removed from BINOL. Therefore, it is possible to convert both enantiomers into the thermodynamically favorable [N-benzyl cinchonidinium bromide·(R)-BINOL] adduct.

Abstract
Compared with well-developed construction of Csp2-Csp2 atropisomers, the synthesis of Csp2-N atropisomers remains in its infancy, which is recognized as both appealing and challenging. Herein, we achieved the first organocatalyzed asymmetric synthesis of Csp2-N atropisomers by formal Csp2-O amination. With the aid of a suitable acid, 3-alkynyl-3-hydroxyisoindolinones reacted smoothly with 1-methylnaphthalen-2-ols to afford a wide range of atropisomers by selective formation of the Csp2-N axis. Particularly, both the kinetic (Z)-products and the thermodynamic (E)-products could be selectively formed. Furthermore, the rarely used combination of two chiral Brønsted acid catalysts achieved excellent enantiocontrol, which is intriguing and unusual in organocatalysis. Based on control experiments and DFT calculations, a cascade dehydration/addition/rearrangement process was proposed. More importantly, this work provided a new plat-form for direct atroposelective construction of the chiral Csp2-N axis.

Abstract
We herein introduce biarylhemiboronic esters as a new type of bridged biaryl reagent for asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral biaryl structures, and the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of biarylhemiboronic esters is developed. This dynamic kinetic atroposelective coupling reaction exhibits high enantioselectivity, good functional group tolerance, and a broad substrate scope. The synthetic application of the current method was demonstrated by transformations of the product and a programmed synthesis of chiral polyarene. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction proceeded via an enantio-determining dynamic kinetic atroposelective transmetalation step.

Abstract
The efficient cross-dehydrogenative coupling of electronically rich and sterically congested benzofulvene with bi-(hetero)aryl moieties to construct an axially chiral benzofulvene core remains a formidable task. In this study, we describe a highly efficient and practical palladium-catalyzed approach for atroposelective bi-(hetero)aryl benzofulvene synthesis, achieving excellent enantioselectivity with moderate yields. This protocol offers a remarkable opportunity for the direct regio- and enantioselective conversion of C-H bonds of benzofulvene to C-C bonds. Furthermore, the protocol permits the incorporation of benzofulvene with a 4-phenyl coumarin core, enabling access to a novel class of axially chiral coumarins.

Abstract
Axially chiral aldehydes have emerged recently as a unique class of motifs for drug design. However, few biocatalytic strategies have been reported to construct structurally diverse atropisomeric aldehydes. Herein, we describe the characterization of alcohol dehydrogenases to catalyze atroposelective desymmetrization of the biaryl dialdehydes. Investigations into the interactions between the substrate and key residues of the enzymes revealed the distinct origin of atroposelectivity. A panel of 13 atropisomeric monoaldehydes was synthesized with moderate to high enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and yields (up to 99%). Further derivatization allows enhancement of the diversity and application potential of the atropisomeric compounds. This study effectively expands the scope of enzymatic synthesis of atropisomeric aldehydes and provides insights into the binding modes and recognition mechanisms of such molecules.

Abstract
Atropisomeric biaryls have found crucial applications in versatile chiral catalysts as well as in ligands for transition metals. Herein, we have developed an efficient crystallization-induced deracemization (CID) method to access chiral biaryls from their racemates with a chiral ammonium salt under copper catalysis including BINOL, NOBIN, and BINAM derivatives. After being significantly accelerated by its bidentate diamine ligand, the copper catalyst exhibits high efficiency and selectivity in racemizing biaryl skeletons, and the cocrystal complex would be enantioselectively formed together with chiral ammonium salt, which on acid-quenching would directly deliver chiral biaryl without further chromatographic purification. This CID process is easily scalable, and the chiral ammonium salt was nicely recoverable. Ligand effect studies showed that bulky alkyl substitution was an indispensable element to ensure efficient racemization, which probably proceeds via a radical-cation intermediate and further allows axial rotation by forming a delocalized radical.

Abstract
A detailed theoretical mechanistic investigation on chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-catalyzed Paal-Knorr reactions, in the presence and absence of a Lewis acid, for the synthesis of N-N axially chiral atropisomers is described herein. Density functional theory (DFT) studies elucidate that in the absence of a Lewis acid, CPA catalyzes both the initial cyclization and the subsequent dehydroxylation processes, ambiguously identified as the rate-determining step in the reactions. Conversely, when a Lewis acid participates in the reaction, it facilitates the second dehydroxylation process with a significantly lower energy barrier, thereby reversing the rate-determining step to the initial cyclization step. It is noteworthy that in the case of N-aminoindoles, both the S-configurational transition state TS1 in the cyclization step and TS2 in the dehydroxylation process are favourable. In contrast, for the synthesis of a bispyrrole, the R-configurational TS1 and the S-configurational TS2 are dominant. Therefore, the enantiodivergence observed is essentially induced by the reversed rate-determining steps in the absence or presence of a Lewis acid in the case of a bispyrrole. Furthermore, the non-covalent interaction (NCI) and atoms-in-molecules (AIM) analysis of the TS structures reveal that the non-covalent interactions play a pivotal role in determining the enantiodivergence observed in these reactions.

Abstract
Atropisomeric phosphines hold considerable significance in asymmetric catalysis, yet their synthesis presents a formidable challenge owing to intricate multistep procedures. In this context, a groundbreaking methodology has been presented for their preparation. This innovative approach entails an atroposelective rhodium-catalyzed C-H activation employing aryl and heteroaryl halides, chelated by a P(III) center. The essence of this strategy lies in its ability to directly construct chiral phosphine ligands in a single step, thereby exhibiting exceptional efficiency in terms of atom and redox economy. Illustrative examples serve to demonstrate the immense potential of in situ-formed ligands in asymmetric catalysis. Mechanistic experiments have further provided invaluable insights into this transformation.

Abstract
A β-naphthol library has been efficiently constructed utilizing a mild continuous flow procedure, relying on a tandem Friedel-Crafts reaction and starting from readily available arylacetyl chloride and alkynes. Multiple functionalized β-naphthols can be acquired within 160 s in generally high yields (up to 83%). Using an electron-rich phenylacetyl chloride derivative (4-OH- or 4-MeO-) provides spirofused triene dione as the primary product. A scale-up preparation affords a throughput of 4.70 g h-1, indicating potential large-scale application. Herein, we present a rapid, reliable, and scalable method to obtain various β-naphthols in the compound library.

Abstract
Atropisomers have emerged as important structural scaffolds in natural products, drug design, and asymmetric synthesis. Recently, N-N biaryl atropisomers have drawn increasing interest due to their unique structure and relatively stable axes. However, its asymmetric synthesis remains scarce compared to its well-developed C-C biaryl analogs. In this concept, we summarize the asymmetric synthesis of N-N biaryl atropisomers including N-N pyrrole-pyrrole, N-N pyrrole-indole, N-N indole-indole, and N-N indole-carbazole, during which a series synthetic strategies are highlighted. Also, a synthetic evolution is briefly reviewed and an outlook of N-N biaryl atropisomers synthesis is offered.

Abstract
The significance of stereoselective C-H bond functionalization thrives on its direct application potential to pharmaceuticals or complex chiral molecule synthesis. Complication arises when there are multiple stereogenic elements such as a center and an axis of chirality to control. Over the years cooperative assistance of multiple chiral ligands has been applied to control only chiral centers. In this work, we harness the essence of cooperative ligand approach to control two different stereogenic elements in the same molecule by atroposelective allylation to synthesize axially chiral biaryls from its racemic precursor. The crucial roles played by chiral phosphoric acid and chiral amino acid ligand in concert helped us to obtain one major stereoisomer out of four distinct possibilities.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202312923.

Abstract
Axially chiral open-chained olefins are an underexplored class of atropisomers, whose enantioselective synthesis represents a daunting challenge due to their relatively low racemization barrier. We herein report rhodium(I)-catalyzed hydroarylative cyclization of 1,6-diynes with three distinct classes of arenes, enabling highly enantioselective synthesis of a broad range of axially chiral 1,3-dienes that are conformationally labile (ΔG≠ (rac)=26.6-28.0 kcal/mol). The coupling reactions in each category proceeded with excellent enantioselectivity, regioselectivity, and Z/E selectivity under mild reaction conditions. Computational studies of the coupling of quinoline N-oxide system reveal that the reaction proceeds via initial oxidative cyclization of the 1,6-diyne to give a rhodacyclic intermediate, followed by σ-bond metathesis between the arene C-H bond and the Rh-C(vinyl) bond, with subsequent C-C reductive elimination being enantio-determining and turnover-limiting. The DFT-established mechanism is consistent with the experimental studies. The coupled products of quinoline N-oxides undergo facile visible light-induced intramolecular oxygen-atom transfer, affording chiral epoxides with complete axial-to-central chirality transfer.

Abstract
Atropisomerism is a type of conformational chirality that plays a critical role in various fields of chemistry, including synthetic, medicinal and material chemistry, and its impact has been widely recognized. Although chiral atropisomerism in rotationally restricted aryl-aryl bonds has garnered substantial interest and led to important discoveries in chiral catalysts and drug development, the exploration of non-aryl atropisomers has fallen behind. Here we reveal a previously unexplored form of non-aryl atropisomerism by linking a sterically congested olefin to a sulfoxonium ylide. A streamlined synthetic approach to these novel molecules was developed through the hydrofunctionalization of alkynyl sulfoxonium ylides. Notably, an enantioselective organocatalytic strategy was developed to prepare these non-aryl atropisomers in high optical purity. This form of atropisomerism offers new routes for investigating the functional properties of axially chiral molecules.

Abstract
Asymmetric synthesis based on a metallate shift of tetracoordinate borons is an intriguing and challenging topic. Despite the construction of central chirality from tetracoordinate boron species via a 1,2-metallate shift, catalytic asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral compounds from such boron 'ate' complexes is an ongoing challenge. Axially chiral alkenes have received great attention due to their unique characteristics and intriguing molecular scaffolds. Here we report an enantioselective nickel-catalysed strategy for the construction of axially chiral alkenes via a 1,3-metallate shift of alkynyl tetracoordinate boron species. The chemoselectivity, regioselectivity and atroposelectivity can be regulated and well-controlled from readily accessible starting materials with a cheap transition-metal catalyst. Downstream transformations indicate the powerful conversion ability of such compounds in this protocol, and late-stage elaborations of bioactive compounds can also be achieved. Mechanistic experiments reveal that regioselective syn-addition of an aryl-Ni complex with a carbon-carbon triple bond and subsequent 1,3-phenyl migration are the two key steps for the synthesis of axially chiral alkenes.

Abstract
Herein, we describe our design and synthesis of novel chiral monophosphine ligands by the short-step addition of chiral lactates as side chains to the well-known ligand SPhos/RuPhos. The new chiral ligands were shown to be highly efficient in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, providing a series of axially chiral biphenyl products in high yield and high enantioselectivity. Furthermore, the gram-scale reaction and the diverse conversions of the products demonstrated the potential utility of the approach.

Abstract
Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed atroposelective reductive cross-coupling of racemic heterobiaryl tosylates with a C(sp2)-X type electrophile. Both aryl and alkenyl halides are competent precursors for this reaction, providing a variety of heterobiaryls as the products in a highly enantioselective manner with high functionality tolerance. The related asymmetric arylation and alkenylation are discovered to proceed with divergent mechanisms. The reaction pathway changes from kinetic resolution (KR) when alkenyl bromides and aryl iodides bearing strong electron-withdrawing substitution on the para-position are employed as the starting materials to an enantioconvergent transformation via dynamic KR of configurationally labile cobaltacycles when relatively electron-rich aryl iodides are used. The change of the reaction mechanisms turns out to arise from the relative rates of two competing elementary steps, which are the epimerization of the cyclic Co(I) intermediates and their trapping by the coupling electrophiles of the C(sp2)-type via oxidative addition.

Abstract
Design of conformationally stable compounds with planar chirality is a topic of great interest mainly because of their potential applications as enantioselective ligands or other functional materials. Herein, we present the design and synthesis of novel planar chiral cyclophanes, obtained by ortho, ortho″ anchoring of the p,p'-terphenyl unit, with bridges of different lengths and rigidities, along with their nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and X-ray characterizations. We investigated the influence of the structural particularities of the bridges over the stability of the enantiomers, by means of nuclear magnetic resonance and chiral high-performance liquid chromatography as well as by density functional theory calculations. We also demonstrated the ability of one of the cyclophanes to preferentially bind arginine with Ka > 110 M-1 (ΔG > -11 kJ mol-1) in acetonitrile solutions containig 10 % water, in the presence of other amino acids.

Abstract
The first organocatalytic atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral N,N'-pyrrolylindoles based on o-alkynylanilines was successfully established via de novo indole formation catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid (CPA). This new synthetic strategy introduced CPA-catalyzed asymmetric 5-endo-dig cyclization of new well-designed o-alkynylanilines containing a pyrrolyl unit, resulting in a wide range of axially chiral N,N'-pyrrolylindoles in high yields with exclusive regioselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% yield, >20 : 1 rr, 95 : 5 er). Considering the potential biological significance of N-N atropisomers, preliminary biological activity studies were performed and revealed that these structurally important N,N'-pyrrolylindoles had a low IC50 value with promising impressive cytotoxicity against several kinds of cancer cell lines. DFT studies reveal that the N-nucleophilic cyclization mediated by CPA is the rate- and stereo-determining step, in which ligand-substrate dispersion interactions facilitate the axial chirality of the target products.

Abstract
A general and concise synthetic pathway for the preparation of four different 5,8'-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, employing a specially developed nickel/N,N-ligand-catalyzed atroposelective Negishi coupling is reported. In the first reported direct atroposelective coupling of the fully substituted precursors, the naturally occurring cross-coupled products were generally obtained directly in reasonable yields and high enantiomeric purities. For the synthesis of the cross-coupling precursors, we employed a modification of Bringmann's known approach to the dihydroisoquinoline compounds and a newly developed route for the naphthalene building blocks. For the latter 1,8-dioxynaphthalene precursors, our strategy utilized Hartwig's borylation/methylation approach and included the efficient installation of orthogonal protecting groups.

Abstract
Axially chiral styrenes, a type of atropisomer analogous to biaryls, have attracted great interest because of their unique presence in natural products and asymmetric catalysis. Since 2016, a number of methodologies have been developed for the atroposelective construction of these chiral skeletons, involving both transition metal catalysis and organocatalysis. In this feature article, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of recent advances in the asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral styrenes catalyzed by transition metals, integrating scattered work with different catalytic systems together. This feature article is cataloged into five sections according to the strategies, including asymmetric coupling, enantioselective C-H activation, central-to-axial chirality transfer, asymmetric alkyne functionalization, and atroposelective [2+2+2] cycloaddition.
