Abstract
We successfully developed an enantioselective trifluoromethylthiolation of structurally diverse carbonyl compounds. Trichloroisocyanuric acid and AgSCF3 were employed to generate active electrophilic trifluoromethylthio species in situ for asymmetric C-SCF3 bond formation. A broad variety of chiral SCF3-carbon nucleophiles (pyrazolones, β-keto esters, and β-keto amides) were obtained in excellent yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee) by Cinchona alkaloid derived squaramide catalysts. The reaction exhibits high efficiency, good enantioselectivity, and high functional group tolerance, which provided a novel and efficient way for asymmetric synthesis of trifluoromethylthiolated carbonyl compounds.

Abstract
Chiral Brønsted base (BB) catalyzed asymmetric transformations constitute an important tool for synthesis. A meaningful fraction of these transformations proceeds through transiently generated enolate intermediates, which display quite versatile reactivity against a variety of electrophiles. Some years ago, our group became interested in developing BB-catalyzed asymmetric reactions of enolizable carbonyl substrates that involve π-extended enolates in which, besides control of reaction diastereo and enantioselectivity, the site-selectivity control is an additional issue in most cases. In the examples covered in this account the opportunities deployed, and the challenges posed, by these methods are illustrated, with a focus on the generation of quaternary carbon stereocenters. In the way, new bifunctional BB catalysts as well as achiral templates were developed that may find further applications.

Abstract
Herein we describe the enantioselective intermolecular conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to unactivated α,β-unsaturated esters, catalyzed by a bifunctional iminophosphorane (BIMP) superbase. The transformation provides the most direct access to pharmaceutically relevant enantioenriched γ-nitroesters, utilizing feedstock chemicals, with unprecedented selectivity. The methodology exhibits a broad substrate scope, including β-(fluoro)alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl substituted electrophiles, and was successfully applied on a gram scale with reduced catalyst loading, and, additionally, catalyst recovery was carried out. The formal synthesis of a range of drug molecules, and an enantioselective synthesis of (S)-rolipram were achieved. Additionally, computational studies revealed key reaction intermediates and transition state structures, and provided rationale for high enantioselectivities, in good agreement with experimental results.

Abstract
The enantioselective aza-MBH reaction is an efficient strategy for constructing novel carbon-carbon bonds, providing access to multitudinous chiral densely functionalized MBH products. However, the enantioselective aza-MBH reaction of cyclic-ketimines that would generate a versatile synthon is still missing and challenging. Herein, we developed a challenging direct organocatalytic asymmetric aza-MBH reaction involving cyclic ketimines attached to a neutral functional group. Moreover, the α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactam was utilized as a rare nucleophile alkene in this work. The reactions provide enantiomerically enriched 2-alkenyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ones, bearing with a tetra-substituted stereogenic center. Moreover, this reaction features high α-selectivities, high enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee), and good yields (up to 80%).

Abstract
The catalytic, enantio- and diastereoselective addition of hydantoin surrogates II to "rigidified" vinylidene bis(sulfone) reagents is developed, thus overcoming the inability of commonly employed β-substituted vinylic sulfones to react. Adducts are transformed in enantioenriched 5,5-disubstituted hydantoins through hydrolysis and reductive desulfonylation processes providing new structures for eventual bioassays. Density functional theory studies that rationalize the observed reactivity and stereoselectivity trends are also provided.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Over the last 20 years, it has become clear that organocatalysis is the third pillar of catalysis. The low reactivity in the early days of organocatalysis has been overcome with the invention of more efficient catalysts, and by harnessing enabling technologies like continuous-flow chemistry and photo-redox catalysis. AREAS COVERED The main focus of this review is on the development over the last 10-15 years of key APIs using asymmetric organocatalysis. Due to significant engineering advances, and also due to the need for continuous manufacturing, flow and photo-redox approaches are becoming more widespread. EXPERT OPINION Over the last 20 years, organocatalysis has been used on various occasions for accessing chiral drugs. The great advantage of using these catalysts is that the final active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is metal-free. Also due to their inherent stability in air and water, they are very amenable to recovery via attachment to appropriate solid supports and also application in continuous flow systems. In recent years, more efficient organocatalysts have been developed, which includes the photoredox types, with much potential for chiral API synthesis.

Abstract
Ladderane phospholipids, with their unusual ladder-like arrangement of concatenated cyclobutane rings, represent an architecturally unique class of natural products. However, despite their fascinating structure and other necessary impetus, only a few synthetic studies of these molecules have been reported so far. We have now devised a concise total synthesis of [3]-ladderanol, a component of natural ladderane phospholipids, using an organocatalytic enantioselective desymmetrizing formal C(sp2 )-H alkylation. Our synthetic strategy rests on the late-stage introduction of chirality, thus allowing facile access to both enantiomers of [3]-ladderanol as well as an analogue. This is the first time a desymmetrization strategy is applied to the synthesis of [3]-ladderanol. The scope of this desymmetrizing C(sp2 )-H alkylation of meso-cyclobutane-fused cyclohexenediones is also presented.

Abstract
Naturally occurring bis(cyclotryptamine) alkaloids feature vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters with an elongated labile C-3a-C-3a' Sigma bond with impressive biological activities. In this report, we have developed a thio-urea catalyzed one-pot sequential Michael addition of bis-oxindole onto selenone to access enantioenriched dimeric 2-oxindoles with vicinal quaternary stereogenic centers at the pseudobenzylic position (up to 96% ee and >20 : 1 dr). This strategy has been successfully applied for the total syntheses of either enantiomers of chimonanthine, folicanthine, and calycanthine.

Abstract
Michael addition is one of the most important carbon–carbon bond formation reactions. In this study, an (R, R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (DPEN)-based thiourea organocatalyst was applied to the asymmetric Michael addition of nitroalkenes and cycloketones to produce a chiral product. The primary amine moiety in DPEN reacts with the ketone to form an enamine and is activated through the hydrogen bond formation between the nitro group in the α, β-unsaturated nitroalkene and thiourea. Here, the aim was to obtain an asymmetric Michael product through the 1,4-addition of the enamine to an alkene to form a new carbon–carbon bond. As a result, the primary amine of the chiral diamine was converted into an enamine. The reaction proceeded with a relatively high level of enantioselectivity achieved using double activation through the hydrogen bonding of the nitro group and thiourea. Michael products with high levels of enantioselectivity (76–99% syn ee) and diastereoselectivity (syn/anti = 9/1) were obtained with yields in the range of 88–99% depending on the ketone.

Abstract
Preorganization is a common strategy to align halogen bond (XB) donors to form two or more halogen bonds simultaneously. Previous approaches have utilized various non-covalent interactions such as steric interactions, ππ stacking, and hydrogen bond interactions. However, some of the introduced aligning interactions may compete with halogen bond interactions if the donors are employed in catalysis. To achieve thiourea-like properties, we have designed in silico several neutral bidentate halogen bond donors in whose structures the donor moieties are connected via covalent bonds. Compared to previous XB catalyst designs, the new design does not involve other potentially competitive non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds. One of the designed XB donors can deliver strong halogen bonds, with a O-I distance as short as 2.64 Å. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations predicted that our designed catalysts may catalyze important organic reactions on their own, particularly for those reactions that involve (developing) soft anions such as thiolates.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-based crown ethers have been reported to be able to generate asymmetric induction in certain reactions. Previously, it was proved that the monosaccharide unit, the anomeric substituent, and the sidearm could influence the catalytic activity of the monoaza-15-crown-5 macrocycles derived from sugars. In order to gain information about the effect of the flexibility, 4,6-di-O-ethyl-glucoside-based crown compounds were synthesized, and their efficiency was compared to the 4,6-O-benzylidene analogues. It was found that the absence of the two-ring annulation has a negative effect on the enantioselectivity in liquid-liquid two-phase reactions: in the Darzens condensation of 2-chloroacetophenone and in the epoxidation of chalcone. The same trend was observed in the solid-liquid phase Michael addition of diethyl acetamidomalonate. Surprisingly, in the solid-liquid phase cyclopropanation of benzylidenemalononitrile, one of the new catalysts was highly enantioselective (99% ee).

Abstract
Chiral bifunctional dual H-bond donor catalysts have become one of the pillars of organocatalysis. They include squaramide, thiosquaramide, thiourea, urea, and even selenourea-based catalysts combined with chiral amines, cinchona alkaloids, sulfides, phosphines and more. They can promote several types of reactions affording products in very high yields and excellent stereoselectivities in many cases: conjugate additions, cycloadditions, the aldol and Henry reactions, the Morita–Baylis–Hilman reaction, even cascade reactions, among others. The desire to understand mechanisms and the quest for the origins of stereoselectivity, in attempts to find guidelines for developing more efficient catalysts for new transformations, has promoted many mechanistic and theoretical studies. In this review, we survey the literature published in this area since 2015.

Abstract
Sulfur-containing compounds are present in a wide range of biologically important natural products, drugs, catalysts, and ligands and they have wide applications in material chemistry. Transition metal-catalyzed C-S bond-forming reactions have successfully overcome the obstacles associated with traditional organosulfur compound syntheses such as stoichiometric use of metal-catalysts, catalyst-poisoning and harsh reaction conditions. One of the key demands in metal-catalyzed C-S bond-forming reactions is the use of an appropriate sulfur source due to its odor and availability. The unpleasant odor of many organic sulfur sources might be one of the reasons for the metal-catalyzed C-S bond-forming reactions being less explored compared to other metal-catalyzed C-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Hence, employing an appropriate sulfur surrogate in the synthesis of organosulfur compounds in metal-catalyzed reactions is still of prime interest for chemists. This review explores the recent advances in C-S bond formation using transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and C-H bond functionalization using diverse and commercially available sulfur surrogates. Based on the different transition metal-catalysts, this review has been divided into three major classes namely (1) palladium-catalyzed C-S bond formation, (2) copper-catalyzed C-S bond formation, and (3) other metal-catalyzed C-S bond formation. This review is further arranged based on the different sulfur surrogates. Also, this review provides an insight into the growing opportunities in the construction of complex organosulfur scaffolds covering natural product synthesis and functional materials.

Abstract
A sulfa-Michael/aldol/lactonization cascade reaction has been established to construct isotetronic acid-fused thiochromanes in a highly stereoselective fashion (≥11:1 dr, 35-98% ee). The tricyclic products were obtained in 35-99% isolated yields in the presence of a bifunctional squaramide. Three reactive sites of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoester, including the less-explored ester carbonyl group, were sequentially utilized to construct two fused heterocycles in a one-pot operation.

Abstract
This work presents the immobilization of cinchona squaramide organocatalysts on poly(glycidyl methacrylate) solid supports. Preparation of the well-defined monodisperse polymer microspheres was facilitated by comprehensive parameter optimization. By exploiting the reactive epoxy groups of the polymer support, three amino-functionalized cinchona derivatives were immobilized on this carrier. To explore the effect of the amino linker, these structurally varied precatalysts were synthesized by modifying the cinchona skeleton at different positions. The catalytic activities of the immobilized organocatalysts were tested in the Michael addition of pentane-2,4-dione and trans-β-nitrostyrene with excellent yields (up to 98 %) and enantioselectivities (up to 96 % ee). Finally, the catalysts were easily recovered five times by centrifugation without loss of activity.

Abstract
To improve the field of catalysis, there is a substantial and growing need for novel high-performance catalysts providing new reactivity. To date, however, the set of reactions that can be reliably performed to prepare chiral compounds in largely one enantiomeric form using chiral catalysts still represents a small fraction of the toolkit of known transformations. In this context, chiral Brønsted bases have played an expanding role in catalyzing enantioselective reactions between various carbon- and heteroatom-centered acids and a host of electrophilic reagents. This Account describes our recent efforts developing and applying a new family of chiral Brønsted bases incorporating an H-bond donor moiety and a strongly basic iminophosphorane, which we have named BIMPs (Bifunctional IMinoPhosphoranes), as efficient catalysts for reactions currently out of reach of more widespread tertiary amine centered bifunctional catalysts. The iminophosphorane Brønsted base is easily generated by the Staudinger reaction of a chiral organoazide and commercially available phosphine, which allows easy modification of the catalyst structure and fine-tuning of the iminophosphorane pKBH+. We have demonstrated that BIMP catalysts can efficiently promote the enantioselective addition of nitromethane to low reactivity N-diphenylphosphinoyl (DPP)-protected imines of ketones (ketimines) to access valuable chiral diamine and α-quaternary amino acid building blocks, and later extended this methodology to phosphite nucleophiles. Subsequently, the reaction scope was expanded to include the Michael addition of high pKa alkyl thiols to α-substituted acrylate esters, β-substituted α,β-unsaturated esters, and alkenyl benzimidazoles as well as the challenging direct aldol addition of aryl ketones to α-fluorinated ketones. Finally, BIMP catalysts were shown to be used in key steps in the synthesis of complex alkaloid natural products (-)-nakadomarin A and (-)-himalensine A, as well as in polymer synthesis. In most cases, the predictable nature of the BIMP promoted reactions was demonstrated by multigram scale-up while employing low catalyst loadings (down to 0.05 mol%). Furthermore, it was shown that BIMP catalysts can be easily immobilized onto a solid support in one-step for increased catalyst recycling and flow chemistry applications. Alongside our own work, this Account also includes elegant work by Johnson and co-workers utilizing the BIMP catalyst system, when alternative catalysts proved suboptimal.

Abstract
A bifunctional iminophosphorane (BIMP)-catalysed enantioselective synthesis of α,β-unsaturated cyclohexenones through a facially selective 1,3-prototropic shift of β,γ-unsaturated prochiral isomers, under mild reaction conditions and in short reaction times, on a range of structurally diverse substrates, is reported. α,β-Unsaturated cyclohexenone products primed for downstream derivatisation were obtained in high yields (up to 99 %) and consistently high enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee). Computational studies into the reaction mechanism and origins of enantioselectivity, including multivariate linear regression of TS energy, were carried out and the obtained data were found to be in good agreement with experimental findings.

Abstract
Herein we report the first organocatalysed enantioselective synthesis of gingesulfonic acids and shogasulfonic acids via a mild and convenient aminothiourea-catalysed conjugate addition of bisulfite to the olefin moiety of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls-a technology previously reported by us. A series of optically active naturally occurring sulfonic acids are prepared in their natural and unnatural configurations, and their absolute configurations are unequivocally confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffractometry.

Abstract
For almost 20 years, thioureas have been experiencing a renaissance of interest with the emerged development of asymmetric organocatalysts. Due to their relatively high acidity and strong hydrogen bond donor capability, they differ significantly from ureas and offer, appropriately modified, great potential as organocatalysts, chelators, drug candidates, etc. The review focuses on the family of chiral thioureas, presenting an overview of the current state of knowledge on their synthesis and selected applications in stereoselective synthesis and drug development.

Abstract
The asymmetric organocatalytic cascade reaction of cyclic β-oxo aldehydes to 2-hydroxycinnamaldehydes is developed. The bifunctional tertiary amine-thiourea catalyst was used in a rationally designed multiple catalysis where the asymmetric iminium catalysis and thiourea anion-binding catalysis were combined by carboxylate anion as a ternary catalytic system to form a quinary catalyst-substrate complex, providing an efficient protocol for the construction of enantioenriched spiro-bridged or cagelike polyheterocyclic compounds. The reuse of catalysts was also successfully realized.

Abstract
Cholic acid has been elaborated into a carbamate-based tripodal architecture, which is able to promote an asymmetric organic transformation inside its chiral cavity. The nature of this steroidal catalyst has been disclosed by quantum-chemical calculations. It comprises the preorganization and confinement of the reagents within the cavity of the steroid to form a supramolecular complex held together by means of cooperative H-bond contacts. This operational mode resembles that of some enzymes.

Abstract
Major Cinchona alkaloids quinine, quinidine, cinchonine, and cinchonidine are available chiral natural compounds (chiral pool). Unlike many other natural products, these alkaloids are available in multiple diastereomeric forms which are separated on an industrial scale. The introduction discusses in short conformational equilibria, traditional separation scheme, biosynthesis, and de novo chemical syntheses. The second section concerns useful chemical applications of the alkaloids as chiral recognition agents and effective chiral catalysts. Besides the Sharpless ethers and quaternary ammonium salts (chiral PTC), the most successful bifunctional organocatalysts are based on 9-amino derivatives: thioureas and squaramides. The third section reports the main transformations of Cinchona alkaloids. This covers reactions of the 9-hydroxyl group with the retention or inversion of configuration. Specific Cinchona rearrangements enlarging [2.2.2]bicycle of quinuclidine to [3.2.2] products are connected to the 9-OH substitution. The syntheses of numerous esterification and etherification products are described, including many examples of bi-Cinchona alkaloid ethers. Further derivatives comprise 9-N-substituted compounds. The amino group is introduced via an azido function with the inversion of configuration at the stereogenic center C9. The 9-epi-amino-alkaloids provide imines, amides, imides, thioureas, and squaramides. The syntheses of 9-carbon-, 9-sulfur-, and 9-selenium-substituted derivatives are discussed. Oxidation of the hydroxyl group of any alkaloid gives ketones, which can be selectively reduced, reacted with Grignard reagents, or subjected to the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction. The alkaloids were also partially degraded by splitting C4'-C9 or N1-C8 bonds. In order to immobilize Cinchona alkaloids the transformations of the 3-vinyl group were often exploited. Finally, miscellaneous functionalizations of quinuclidine, quinoline, and examples of various metal complexes of the alkaloids are considered.

Abstract
In the presence of a trityl-substituted cinchona alkaloid-based catalyst, homophthalic, aryl succinic, and glutaconic anhydride derivatives reacted with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to produce cis-lactones in up to 90:10 dr and 99% ee. A DFT study has shown how the catalyst is uniquely able to bring about the opposite sense of diastereocontrol to that usually observed.
