Abstract
Indoles are one of the most ubiquitous subclass of N-heterocycles and are increasingly incorporated to design new axially chiral scaffolds. The rich profile of reactivity and N-H functionality allow chemical derivatization for enhanced medicinal, material and catalytic properties. Although asymmetric C-C coupling of two arenes gives the most direct access of axially chiral biaryl scaffolds, this chemistry has been the remit of metal catalysis and works efficiently on limited substrates. Our group has devoted special interest in devising novel organocatalytic arylation reactions to fabricate biaryl atropisomers. In this realm, indoles and derivatives have been reliably used as the arylation partners in combination with azoarenes, nitrosonapthalenes and quinone derivatives. Their efficient interaction with chiral phosphoric acid catalyst as well as the tunability of electronics and sterics have enabled excellent control of stereo-, chemo- and regioselectivity to furnish diverse scaffolds. In addition, indoles could act as nucleophiles in desymmetrization of 1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diones. This account provides a succinct illustration of these developments.

Abstract
BINOL derivatives have shown relevant biological activities and are important chiral ligands and catalysts. Due to these properties, their asymmetric synthesis has attracted the interest of the scientific community. In this work, we present an overview of the most efficient methods to obtain chiral BINOLs, highlighting the use of metal complexes and organocatalysts as well as kinetic resolution. Further derivatizations of BINOLs are also discussed.

Abstract
Phenols and their derivatives are the elementary building blocks for several classes of complex molecules that play essential roles in biological systems. Nature has devised methods to selectively couple phenolic compounds, and many efforts have been undertaken by chemists to mimic such coupling processes. A range of mechanisms can be involved and with well-studied catalysts, reaction outcomes in phenol-phenol oxidative coupling reactions can be predicted with a good level of fidelity. However, reactions with catalysts that have not been studied or that do not behave similarly to known catalysts can be hard to predict and control. This Perspective provides an overview of catalytic methods for the oxidative coupling of phenols, focusing on the last 10 years, and summarizes current challenges.

Abstract
The development of efficient and straightforward methods for obtaining all optically active isomers of structurally rigid spirocycles from readily available starting materials is of great value in drug discovery and chiral ligand development. However, the stereodivergent synthesis of spirocycles bearing multiple stereocenters remains an unsolved challenge owing to steric hindrance and ring strain. Herein, we report an enantio- and diastereodivergent synthesis of rigid spirocycles through dual-metal-catalyzed [3+2] annulation of oxy π-allyl metallic dipoles with less commonly employed nucleophilic dipoles (imino esters). A series of spiro compounds bearing a pyrroline and an olefin were easily synthesized in an enantio- and diastereodivergent manner (up to 19:1 dr, >99 % ee), which showed great promise as a new type of N-olefin ligand. Preliminary mechanistic studies were also carried out to understand the process of this bimetallic catalysis.

Abstract
A challenging direct asymmetric catalytic aerobic oxidative cross-coupling of 2-naphthylamine and 2-naphthol, using a novel CuI /SPDO system, has been successfully developed for the first time. Enantioenriched 3,3'-disubstituted NOBINs were achieved and could be readily derived to divergent chiral ligands and catalysts. This reaction features high enantioselectivities (up to 96 % ee) and good yields (up to 80 %). The DFT calculations suggest that the F-H interactions between CF3 of L17 and H-1,8 of 2-naphthol, and the π-π stacking between the two coupling partners could play vital roles in the enantiocontrol of this cross-coupling reaction.

Abstract
Presented here is a class of novel axially chiral aryl-p-quinones as platform molecules for the preparation of non-C2 symmetric biaryldiols. Two sets of aryl-p-quinone frameworks were synthesized with remarkable enantiocontrol by means of chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed enantioselective arylation of p-quinones by central-to-axial chirality conversion. These aryl-p-quinones were then used to access a wide spectrum of highly functionalized non-C2 symmetric biaryldiols with excellent retention of the enantiopurity.
