Abstract
A new class of axially chiral styrene-based thiourea tertiary amine catalysts, which have unique characteristics such as an efficient synthetic route, multiple chiral elements, and multiple activating groups, has been rationally designed. These new chiral catalysts have proven to be efficient organocatalysts, enabling the chemo-, diastereo-, and enantioselective (2+4) cyclization of 2-benzothiazolimines with homophthalic anhydrides in good yields (up to 96 %) with excellent stereoselectivities (all >95:5 dr, up to 98 % ee). More importantly, theoretical calculations elucidated the important role of an axially chiral styrene moiety in controlling both the reactivity and enantioselectivity. This work not only represents the first design of styrene-based chiral thiourea tertiary amine catalysts and the first catalytic asymmetric (2+4) cyclization of 2-benzothiazolimines, but also gives an in-depth understanding of axially chiral styrene-based organocatalysts.

Abstract
The first chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyzed cycloaddition–elimination cascade reaction of 2-naphthol- and phenol-derived enecarbamates with azonaphthalenes has been established, providing a highly atroposelective route to an array of axially chiral aryl-C3-benzoindoles in excellent yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The success of this strategy derives from the stepwise process involving CPA-catalyzed asymmetric formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition and subsequent central-to-axial chirality conversion by elimination of a carbamate. In addition, the practicality of this reaction had been verified by varieties of transformations towards functionalized atropisomers. An organocatalytic asymmetric cycloaddition–elimination cascade reaction of aryl enecarbamates with azonaphthalenes has been developed to access axially chiral heterobiaryls in excellent yields and enantioselectivities.![]()

Abstract
Described herein is an imidazole ring formation strategy for the synthesis of axially chiral N-arylbenzimidazoles by means of chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. Two sets of conditions were developed to transform two classes of 2-naphthylamine derivatives into structurally diverse N-arylbenzimidazole atropisomers with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity as well as high levels of enantiocontrol. It is worth reflecting on the unique roles played by the nitroso group in this domino reaction. It functions as a linchpin by first offering an electrophilic site (N) for the initial C-N bond formation while the resulting amine performs the nucleophilic addition to form the second C-N bond. Additionally, it could facilitate the final oxidative aromatization as an oxidant. The atropisomeric products could be conveniently elaborated to a series of axially chiral derivatives, enabling the exploitation of N-arylbenzimidazoles for their potential utilities in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Enantioselective palladaelectro-catalyzed C–H alkenylations and allylations were achieved with easily-accessible amino acids as transient directing groups. This strategy provided access to highly enantiomerically-enriched N–C axially chiral scaffolds under exceedingly mild conditions. The synthetic utility of our strategy was demonstrated by a variety of alkenes, while the versatility of our approach was reflected by atroposelective C–H allylations. Computational studies provided insights into a facile C–H activation by a seven-membered palladacycle. Enantioselective palladaelectro-catalyzed C–H alkenylations and allylations were achieved by the means of an easily-accessible amino acid for the synthesis of N–C axially chiral indole biaryls.![]()

Abstract
In the context of helical chirality, bridging of biphenyl units leads to banister-type compounds and the stability of the resulted atropisomers may increase dramatically if suitable changes are performed in the linker unit that coils around the biphenyl moiety. A rigorous density functional theory (DFT) study was conducted for macrocycles containing rigid oxime ether segments connected to the biphenyl backbone in order to determine how the rotation barriers are influenced by the presence of either a flexible oligoethyleneoxide or a more rigid m–xylylene component in the macrocycle. The calculated values for the racemization barrier were in good agreement with those obtained experimentally and confirm the benefit of introducing a more rigid unit in the macrocycle on the stability of atropisomers. Solid-state data were obtained and computed data were used to assess the contribution brought by supramolecular associations observed in the lattice to the stabilization of the crystal structure. Beside introducing rigidity in the linker, complexation of flexible macrocycles with alkali metal ions is also contributing to the stability of atropisomers, leading to values for the racemization barrier matching that of the rigid macrocycle. Using diethylammonium cation as guest for the macrocycle, a spectacular increase in the barrier to rotation was observed for the resulted pseudo[2]rotaxane.

Abstract
Axially chiral open-chain olefins represent an underexplored class of chiral platform. In this report, two classes of tetrasubstituted axially chiral acyclic olefins have been accessed in excellent enantioselectivity and regioselectivity via C-H activation of (hetero)arenes assisted by a migratable directing group en route to coupling with sterically hindered alkynes. The coupling of indoles bearing an N-aminocarbonyl directing group afforded C-N axially chiral acrylamides with the assistance of a racemic zinc carboxylate additive. DFT studies suggest a β-nitrogen elimination-reinsertion pathway for the directing group migration. Meanwhile, the employment of N-phenoxycarboxamide delivered C-C axially chiral enamides via migration of the oxidizing directing group. Experiments suggest that in both cases the (hetero)arene substrate adopts a well-defined orientation during the C-H activation, which in turn determines the disposition of the alkyne in migratory insertion. Synthetic applications of representative chiral olefins are demonstrated.

Abstract
Axially chiral atropisomeric compounds are widely applied in asymmetric catalysis and medicinal chemistry. In particular, axially chiral indole‐ and indoline‐based frameworks have been recognised as important heterobiaryl classes because they are the core units of bioactive natural alkaloids, chiral ligands and bioactive compounds. Among them, the synthesis of C7‐substituted indole biaryls and the analogous indoline derivatives is particularly challenging, and methods for their efficient synthesis are in high demand. Transition‐metal catalysis is considered one of the most efficient methods to construct atropisomers. Here, we report the enantioselective synthesis of C7‐indolino‐ and C7‐indolo biaryl atropisomers by means of C−H functionalisation catalysed by chiral RhJasCp complexes.

Abstract
Herein we report the catalytic atroposelective syntheses of pharmaceutically relevant 3-arylquinolines via the nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) of thiophenols into 3-aryl-2-fluoroquinolines mediated by catalytic amounts of Cinchona alkaloid-derived ureas. These reactions displayed a spectrum of dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) and kinetic resolution (KR) characters depending upon the stereochemical stability of the starting material. Low barrier substrates proceeded via DKR while higher barrier substrates proceeded via KR. On the other hand, substrates with intermediate stabilities displayed hallmarks of both DKR and KR. Finally, we also show that we can functionalize the atropisomerically enriched quinolines into pharmaceutically privileged scaffolds with minimal observed racemization.

Abstract
N-C Biaryl atropisomers are prevalent in natural products and bioactive drug molecules. However, the enantioselective synthesis of such molecules has not developed significantly. Particularly, the enantioselective synthesis of N-C biaryl atropisomers by stereoselective metal-catalyzed aryl amination remains unprecedented. Herein, a Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling strategy is presented for the synthesis of N-C axially chiral biaryl molecules. A broad spectrum of N-C axially chiral compounds was obtained with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) and good yields (up to 98 %). The practicality of this reaction was validated in the synthesis of useful biological molecules.

Abstract
Nitrogen-nitrogen bonds containing motifs are ubiquitous in natural products and bioactive compounds. However, the atropisomerism arising from a restricted rotation around an N-N bond is largely overlooked. Here, we describe a method to access the first enantioselective synthesis of N-N biaryl atropisomers via a Cu-bisoxazoline-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. A wide range of axially chiral N-N bisazaheterocycle compounds were efficiently prepared in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities via desymmetrization and kinetic resolution. Heating experiments showed that the axially chiral bisazaheterocycle products have high rotational barriers.

Abstract
CpxM(iii)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H functionalization reactions have progressed rapidly using either chiral cyclopentadienyl ligands or appropriate chiral carboxylic acids. In this context, highly reactive carbene and nitrene precursors can serve as effective C-H coupling partners, providing a straightforward and efficient approach to access chiral molecules. In this review, we highlight the developments in CpxM(iii)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H functionalization reactions through migratory insertion of metal-carbenes/nitrenes by employing chiral CpxM(iii) complexes or achiral CpxM(iii) complexes combined with chiral carboxylic acids.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective C-H functionalization has become a powerful strategy for the formation of C-C or C-X bonds, enabling the highly asymmetric synthesis of a wide range of enantioenriched compounds. Atropisomers are widely found in natural products and pharmaceutically relevant molecules, and have also found applications as privileged frameworks for chiral ligands and catalysts. Thus, research into asymmetric routes for the synthesis of atropisomers has garnered great interest in recent years. In this regard, transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective C-H functionalization has emerged as an atom-economic and efficient strategy toward their synthesis. In this Perspective, the approaches for the synthesis of atropisomers by transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric C-H functionalization reactions are summarized. The main focus here is on asymmetric catalysis via Pd, Rh, and Ir complexes, which have been the most frequently utilized catalysts among reported enantioselective C-H functionalization reactions. Finally, we discuss limitations on available protocols and give an outlook on possible future avenues of research.

Abstract
Atropo-enantioselective biaryl coupling through C-H bond functionalization is an emerging technology allowing direct construction of axially chiral molecules. This approach is largely limited to electrophilic coupling partners. We report a highly atropo-enantioselective C-H arylation of tetralone derivatives paired with aryl boronic esters as nucleophilic components. The transformation is catalyzed by chiral cyclopentadienyl (Cpx ) iridium(III) complexes and enabled by oxidatively enhanced reductive elimination from high-valent cyclometalated Ir-species.

Abstract
The previously elusive catalytic enantioselective construction of axially chiral B-aryl-1,2-azaborines with a C-B stereogenic axis has been realized through a chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed desymmetrization strategy reported herein. The electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 3,5-disubsituted phenols with diazodicarboxamides could afford these axially chiral structures in good efficiency with excellent enantiocontrol. The efficient long-range stereochemical control is achieved by multiple well-defined H-bonding interactions between chiral phosphoric acid and both substrates. Meanwhile, the reaction duration could be markedly shortened with weakly acidic N-H in 1,2-azaborine acting as H-bond donor. The scalability of the reaction and facile cleavage of the N-N bond in the product further demonstrated the practicality of this method.

Abstract
The efficient stereoselective synthesis of conjugated dienes, especially those with axial chirality, remains a great challenge. Herein, we report the highly atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral styrenes with a conjugated 1,3-diene scaffold via a Pd(II)-catalyzed thioether-directed alkenyl C-H olefination strategy. This strategy features easy operation, mild reaction conditions, high functional group tolerance (69 examples), complete Z-selectivity, and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Notably, the highly enantioselective synthesis of atropisomers with two stereogenic axes were also achieved using this strategy (up to 99% ee and 97:3 dr). Moreover, the reaction could be scaled up, and the resulting axially chiral styrenes could be easily oxidized into chiral sulfoxide derivatives with high diastereoselectivities, which showed great promise as a new type of sulfur-olefin ligand.

Abstract
Atropisomeric molecules have found proven applications and have shown promising potential in chemistry and medicine. The design of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed reactions to construct atropisomerically enriched molecules has emerged as an important research topic in recent years. These reactions include kinetic resolutions, asymmetric desymmetrizations, central-to-axial chirality conversions, and cycloadditions. This Minireview evaluates and summarizes the progress in NHC-based organic catalysis for access to atropisomers, and briefly states our personal perspectives on the future advancement of this topic. NHC catalysis has provided rich and unique reaction modes that have led to success in the asymmetric synthesis of central-chiral molecules. It is expected that similar success could also be achieved in developing NHC catalysis to prepare atropisomeric molecules, including those not easily accessible by other methods.

Abstract
We report herein an unprecedented atroposelective dynamic kinetic resolution of Bringmann's lactones with C-nucleophiles. By the use of activated isocyanides as the reagent, a wide range of novel axially chiral oxazole-substituted biaryl phenols were accessed in high yields with high enantioselectivities. Key to the success of this process lies in the tandem atroposelective addition of isocyanides to the lactone substrate followed by a rapid cyclization, overcoming the challenge of stereochemical leakage induced by lactol formation.

Abstract
The enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral biaryls by a copper-catalyzed Diels-Alder/retro-Diels-Alder reaction of 2-pyrones with alkynes is reported herein. Using electron-deficient 2-pyrones and electron-rich 1-naphthyl acetylenes as the reaction partners, a broad range of axially chiral biaryl esters are obtained in excellent yields (up to 97% yield) and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). DFT calculations reveal the reaction mechanism and provide insights into the origins of the stereoselectivities. The practicality and robustness of this reaction are showcased by gram-scale synthesis. The synthetic utilizations are demonstrated by the amenable transformations of the products.

Abstract
Contradictory to the first intuitive impression that forging putatively flat aromatic rings evades stereoisomerism, a striking variety of atropisomeric compounds are conceivable by the formation of arenes, offering captivating avenues for catalyst-controlled stereoselective strategies. Since the assembled atropisomeric products that contain one or several rotationally restricted single bonds are characterized by especially well defined molecular architectures, they are distinctly suitable for numerous pertinent applications. In view of the fascinating arene-forming aldol condensation pathways taking place in polyketide biosynthesis (cyclases/aromatases (CYC/ARO)), the versatile small-molecule-catalyzed aldol reaction appeared as an exceptionally appealing synthetic means to prepare various unexplored atropisomeric compounds in our efforts presented herein. In our initial studies, the use of secondary amine organocatalysts provided excellent selectivities in stereoselective arene-forming aldol condensations for a broad range of atropisomeric products, such as biaryls and rotationally restricted aromatic amides. In further analogy to polyketide biosynthesis, it was also conceivable that several aromatic rings are formed in catalytic cascade reactions. The use of small-molecule catalysts thereby enabled us to transfer this concept to the conversion of unnatural and noncanonical polyketide substrates, thus giving access to atropisomers with particular value for synthetic applications. The versatility of the stereoselective aldol reactions with numerous catalytic activation modes further provided a strategy to individually control several stereogenic axes, similar to the various methodologies developed for controlling stereocenter configurations. By the use of iterative building block additions combined with catalyst-controlled aldol reactions to form the aromatic rings, stereodivergent pathways for catalyst-substrate-matched and -mismatched products were obtained. Besides secondary amines, cinchona-alkaloid-based quaternary ammonium salts also proved to be highly efficient in overcoming severe substrate bias. The obtained atropisomeric multiaxis systems, with all of the biaryl bonds suitably restricted in rotation even at high temperatures, are spatially distinctly defined. The helical secondary structure is therefore excellently suited for several captivating applications.While previous catalyst-controlled stereoselective methods distinguish two stereoisomers for each stereogenic unit, catalyst control beyond the realms of this dualistic stereoisomerism remained unexplored. By the selective preparation of O̅ki atropisomers characterized by their sixfold stereogenicity in Rh-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cyclotrimerizations, one out of the six possible stereoisomers resulting from the restricted rotation of a single bond was shown to be catalytically addressable. Catalyst control over higher-order stereogenicity therefore further interconnects conformational analysis and stereoselective catalysis and offers captivating avenues to explore uncharted stereochemical space for creating a broad range of unprecedented molecular motifs.

Abstract
Herein, access to axially and centrally chiral sulfinamides via asymmetric allylic alkylation was reported. A series of sulfinamides were obtained with good outcomes (up to 99% yield, >19:1 dr, and 98:2 er). The synthetic utility of the reaction was demonstrated by scaled-up synthesis, product transformation, and application as a catalyst in asymmetric catalysis.
