Abstract
The 1,2-rearrangement reaction is one of the most important approaches to construct carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. However, the development of catalytic asymmetric 1,2-rearrangements is still far from mature and often suffers from problems such as complex substrates, single product structure, and lack of synthetic application. Multicomponent reaction has been recognized as a robust tool for the synthesis of diverse and tunable products from readily available starting material. Conceptionally and practically, the development of multicomponent asymmetric 1,2-rearrangements is highly desirable. In this regard, we report herein a three-component benzilic acid-type rearrangement of 2,3-diketoesters, aromatic amines and aldehydes for the asymmetric construction of synthetically challenging pyrrolinones bearing aza-quaternary stereocenters. To the best of our knowledge, this reaction represents the first example of organocatalyzed multicomponent asymmetric 1,2-rearrangements.

Abstract
The Biltz synthesis establishes straightforward access to 5,5-disubstituted (thio)hydantoins by combining a 1,2-diketone and a (thio)urea. Its appealing features include inherent atom and step economy together with the potential to generate structurally diverse products. However, control of the stereochemistry of this reaction has proven to be a daunting challenge. Herein, we describe the first example of enantioselective catalytic Biltz synthesis which affords more than 40 thiohydantoins with high stereo- and regio-control, irrespective of the symmetry of thiourea structure. A one pot synthesis of corresponding hydantoins is also documented. Remarkably, experimental studies and DFT calculations establish the reaction pathway and origin of stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Morpholines and morpholinones are important building blocks in organic synthesis and pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry, however, C3-disubstituted morpholines/morpholinones are extremely difficult to access. Here we show the ZnCl2-catalyzed cyclizative 1,2-rearrangement for the efficient synthesis of morpholinones bearing aza-quaternary stereocenters. A series of structurally diverse C3-disubstituted morpholin-2-ones which are difficultly accessible by existing methods were efficiently constructed from readily available two achiral linear compounds. Notably, mechanistic studies reveal that this reaction proceeds via an unusual sequence of direct formal [4 + 2] heteroannulation regioselectively delivering specific α-iminium/imine hemiacetals followed by a 1,2-esters or amides shift process, which is different from the reported mechanism of the aza-benzilic ester rearrangements.

Abstract
Hyperireflexolides A and B were synthesized in six steps via the dearomatization and fragmentation of a simple acylphloroglucinol starting material. The dearomatized acylphloroglucinol undergoes a sequence of oxidative radical cyclization, retro-Dieckmann fragmentation, stereodivergent intramolecular carbonyl-ene reactions, and final α-hydroxy-β-diketone rearrangements to give the target natural products. This sequence is based on a biosynthetic proposal that claims the hyperireflexolides as highly rearranged polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), which is supported by the structural revision of hyperireflexolide B.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of organic compounds with unusual atom or functional group connectivity is one of the main driving forces in the discovery of new synthetic methods that has raised the interest of chemists for many years. Polycarbonyl compounds are such compounds wherein multiple carbonyl groups are directly juxtaposed and influence each other's chemical reactivity. While 1,2-dicarbonyl or 1,2,3-tricarbonyl compounds are well-known in organic chemistry, the 1,2,3,4-tetracarbonyl motif remains barely explored. Herein, we report on the synthesis of such 1,2,3,4-tetracarbonyl compounds employing a synthetic strategy that involves C-nitrosation of enoldiazoacetates, while the diazo functional group remains untouched. This strategy not only leverages the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetracarbonyl compounds to an unprecedented level, it also accomplishes the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetracarbonyl compounds, wherein each carbonyl group is orthogonally masked. Combined experimental and theoretical studies provide an understanding of the reaction mechanism and rationalize the formation of such 1,2,3,4-tetracarbonyl compounds.

Abstract
This review summarizes examples for the application of vicinal ketoesters such as α-ketoesters, mesoxalic esters, and α,β-diketoesters as key intermediates in the total synthesis of natural products utilizing their electrophilic keto group as reactive site. Suitable key reactions are, e.g., aldol additions, carbonyl ene reactions, Mannich reactions, and additions of organometallic reagents. The vicinal arrangement of carbonyl groups allows the stabilization of reactive conformations by chelation or dipole control.

Abstract
Structurally unique natural products pose biosynthetic puzzles whose solution can inspire new chemical reactions. Herein, we propose a unified biosynthetic pathway towards some complex meroterpenoids—the hyperireflexolides, biyoulactones, hybeanones and hypermonones. This hypothesis led to the discovery of uncatalyzed, intramolecular carbonyl‐ene reactions that are spontaneous at room temperature. We also developed an anionic cascade reaction featuring an α‐hydroxy‐β‐diketone rearrangement and an intramolecular aldol reaction to access four distinct natural product scaffolds from a common intermediate.

Abstract
Cooperative asymmetric catalysis with hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chiral dual-hydrogen-bond donors (HBDs) is applied successfully to highly enantioselective Prins cyclization reactions of a wide variety of simple alkenyl aldehydes. The optimal chiral catalysts were designed to withstand the strongly acidic reaction conditions and were found to induce rate accelerations of 2 orders of magnitude over reactions catalyzed by HCl alone. We propose that the combination of strong mineral acids and chiral hydrogen-bond-donor catalysts may represent a general strategy for inducing enantioselectivity in reactions that require highly acidic conditions.

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
The chiral oxazoline motif is present in many ligands that have been extensively applied in a series of important metal-catalyzed enantioselective reactions. This Review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the most significant applications of oxazoline-containing ligands reported in the literature starting from 2009 until the end of 2018. The ligands are classified not by the reaction to which their metal complexes have been applied but by the nature of the denticity, chirality, and donor atoms involved. As a result, the continued development of ligand architectural design from mono(oxazolines), to bis(oxazolines), to tris(oxazolines) and tetra(oxazolines) and variations thereof can be more easily monitored by the reader. In addition, the key transition states of selected asymmetric transformations will be given to illustrate the features that give rise to high levels of asymmetric induction. As a further aid to the reader, we summarize the majority of schemes with representative examples that highlight the variation in % yields and % ees for carefully selected substrates. This Review should be of particular interest to the experts in the field but also serve as a useful starting point to new researchers in this area. It is hoped that this Review will stimulate both the development/design of new ligands and their applications in novel metal-catalyzed asymmetric transformations.

Abstract
Carbonyls and amines are yin and yang in organocatalysis as they mutually activate and transform each other. These intrinsically reacting partners tend to condense with each other, thus depleting their individual activity when used together as cocatalysts. Though widely established in many prominent catalytic strategies, aminocatalysis and carbonyl catalysis do not coexist well, and, as such, a cooperative amine/carbonyl dual catalysis remains essentially unknown. Here we report a cooperative primary amine and ketone dual catalytic approach for the asymmetric α-hydroxylation of β-ketocarbonyls with H2O2. Besides participating in the typical enamine catalytic cycle, the chiral primary amine catalyst was found to work cooperatively with a ketone catalyst to activate H2O2 via an oxaziridine intermediate derived from an in-situ-generated ketimine. Ultimately, this enamine-oxaziridine coupling facilitated the highly controlled α-hydroxylation of several β-ketocarbonyls in excellent yield and enantioselectivity. Notably, late-stage hydroxylation for peptidyl amide or chiral esters can also be achieved with high stereoselectivity. In addition to its operational simplicity and mild conditions, this cooperative amine/ketone catalytic approach also provides a new strategy for the catalytic activation of H2O2 and expands the domain of typical amine and carbonyl catalysis to include this challenging transformation.

Abstract
Noncovalent interactions (NCIs) have been identified as important contributing factors for determining selectivity in organic transformations. However, cases where NCIs between solvents and substrates are responsible for a major extent for determining selectivity are rare. The current computational study with density functional theory identifies two important transformations where this is the case: the intramolecular carbonyl-ene reaction and the Staudinger [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. In both cases, the role of explicit solvent molecules interacting noncovalently with the substrate has been taken into account. Calculations indicate that the diastereomeric ratio would be 95.0:5.0 for the formation of tricyclic tetrahydrofuran diastereomers via the intramolecular carbonyl-ene reaction and 94.0:6.0 for the formation of the triflone diastereomers via the Staudinger [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, which corroborates with the experiment. Interestingly, in both the cases, the calculations indicate that noninclusion of explicit solvent molecules would lead to only a small difference between the competing transition states, which leads to the conclusion that solvent-substrate NCIs are the major cause for diastereoselectivity in both the cases considered.

Abstract
A novel Rh(I)/La(III) cocatalytic three-component reaction of vinylcyclopropanes, diazoesters, and diphenyl sulfoxide has been developed. The reaction gives polysubstituted dihydropyrans as the reaction products. Mechanistic studies indicate that isomerization of vinylcyclopropanes gives conjugated dienes, which then undergo [4 + 2]-cycloaddition with vicinal tricarbonyl compounds generated by oxygen atom transfer from diphenyl sulfoxide to diazoesters.

Abstract
A C2-symmetric chiral spirocyclic diol aza-SPINOL containing a spirooxindole scaffold has been designed, synthesized, and optically resolved. The product could be synthesized on gram scale in an overall yield of 22%. Moreover, elaborations of aza-SPINOL to other chiral ligands as well as the preliminary investigation of the related bisphosphine ligand in the desymmetrization of bisallylic amide were reported.

Abstract
We report the first examples of catalytic enantioselective benzilic ester rearrangement reaction. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OTf)2 and a chiral box ligand under mild conditions, reaction of 2,3-diketoesters with alcohols afforded structurally diverse α-aryl(alkyl) substituted-α-hydroxy malonates (tartronic esters) in good to excellent yields with high enantioselectivities. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that hemiketalization, rather than the dynamic kinetic resolution of hemiketal, was the enantiodetermining step under our reaction conditions.

Abstract
An enantioselective carbonyl-ene reaction of 1,1-disubstituted olefins with ethyl glyoxylate was accomplished using an F10BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acid of which the perfluoro-binaphthyl skeleton is beneficial not only for adopting high catalytic activity but also for creating an effective chiral environment.
An F10BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acid was shown to be an effective catalyst for an enantioselective carbonyl-ene reaction of 1,1-disubstituted olefins with ethyl glyoxylate as the common enophile. The perfluoro-binaphthyl skeleton is beneficial not only for adopting high catalytic activity but also for creating an effective chiral environment for enantioselective transformations. Indeed, the reaction afforded enantio-enriched homoallylic alcohols in high yields with high enantioselectivities. Theoretical studies identified that the multi-point C–H···O hydrogen bonds and the π interactions between the substrates and the 6-methoxy-2-naphthyl substituents at the 3,3′-positions of the F10BINOL skeleton play a crucial role in determining the stereochemical outcomes. The significance of the perfluoro-binaphthyl skeleton in achieving the high enantioselectivity was also evaluated through a structural analysis of the catalysts.

Abstract
An efficient one-pot, three-component reaction of 2,3-diketo esters with amines and ketones has been developed for the synthesis of 1 H-pyrrol-3(2 H)-ones. By using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as the additive and acetonitrile (MeCN) as the solvent, this convenient method provides a library of 1 H-pyrrol-3(2 H)-ones in moderate to good yields. The simple protocol features readily available starting materials, a straightforward process, good functional group tolerance, and broad substrate scope.

Abstract
An efficient desymmetrizing carbonyl-ene reaction of 1-substituted 4-methylenecyclohexanes with glyoxal derivatives was thus executed by a chiral N,N'-dioxide/NiII catalyst, providing facile access to cyclohexene derivatives bearing two remote 1,6-related stereocenters. This distal stereocontrol methodology originates from the efficient interaction between the catalyst with enophiles, discrimination of the two chair conformations of olefinic components, and the intrinsic six-membered transition-state structure of ene process.

Abstract
Stable carbocations such as tritylium ions have been widely explored as organic Lewis acid catalysts and reagents in organic synthesis. However, achieving asymmetric carbocation catalysis remains elusive ever since they were first identified over one century ago. The challenges mainly come from their limited compatibility, scarcity of chiral carbocations, as well as the extremely low barrier to racemization of chiral carbenium ions. We reported here a latent concept for asymmetric carbocation catalysis. In this strategy, chiral trityl phosphate is employed as the carbocation precursor, which undergoes facile ionic dissociation upon mild external stimulation (e.g., acid, H-bonding, polar substrates) to form a catalytically active chiral ion pair for substrate activation and chiral induction. The latent strategy provides a solution for the long sought-after asymmetric carbocation catalysis as illustrated in three different enantioselective transformations.
