Abstract
Enantioenriched unnatural amino acids represent a prevalent motif in organic chemistry, with profound applications in biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed aza-Barbier reaction of dehydroglycines with unactivated alkyl halides to afford unnatural α-amino esters with high enantioselectivity. This catalytic reductive alkylative addition protocol circumvents the use of moisture-, air-sensitive organometallic reagents, and stoichiometric chiral auxiliaries, enabling the conversion of a variety of primary, secondary, and even tertiary unactivated alkyl halides to α-alkyl-amino esters under mild conditions, thus leading to broad functional group tolerance. The expedient access to biologically active motifs demonstrates the practicality of this protocol by reducing the number of synthetic steps and enhancing the reaction efficiency.

Abstract
A highly efficient Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams has been developed by using a C2-symmetric ruthenocenyl phosphine-oxazoline as the chiral ligand. This method achieves the enantioselective synthesis of chiral β-substituted γ-lactams in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield with 99% ee). Mechanistic studies based on detailed control experiments and computational investigation revealed that the cationic Ru-complex acts as the active catalytic species; the protonation process of the oxa-π-allyl-Ru complex, which is formed by the migratory insertion of the C=C double bond to the Ru-H bond (the stereocontrolling step) followed by an isomerization process, is the rate-determining step, and the existence of PPh3 is crucial for the highly efficient catalytic behavior. The protocol provides a straightforward and practical pathway for the synthesis of key intermediates for several chiral drugs and bioactive compounds, particularly for the 150 kg-scale industrial production of Brivaracetam, an antiepileptic drug that shows 13-fold more potent binding to the synaptic vesicle protein 2A compared with the well-known Levetiracetam.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most efficient methods for the preparation of chiral α-substituted propionic acids. However, research on this method, employing cleaner earth-abundant metal catalysts, is still insufficient in both academic and industrial contexts. Herein, we report an efficient nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-substituted acrylic acids affording the corresponding chiral α-substituted propionic acids with up to 99.4% ee (enantiomeric excess) and 10,000 S/C (substrate/catalyst). In particular, this method can be used to obtain (R)-dihydroartemisinic acid with 99.8:0.2 dr (diastereomeric ratio) and 5000 S/C, which is an essential intermediate for the preparation of the antimalarial drug Artemisinin. The reaction mechanism has been investigated via experiments and DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations, which indicate that the protonolysis of the C-Ni bond of the key intermediate via an intramolecular proton transfer from the carboxylic acid group of the substrate, is the rate-determining step.

Abstract
The development of a reliable method for asymmetric synthesis of unnatural peptides is highly desirable and particularly challenging. In this study, we present a versatile and efficient approach that uses cobalt-catalyzed diastereoselective umpolung hydrogenation to access noncanonical aryl alanine peptides. This protocol demonstrates good tolerance toward various functional groups, amino acid sequences, and peptide lengths. Moreover, the versatility of this reaction is illustrated by its successful application in the late-stage functionalization and formal synthesis of various representative chiral natural products and pharmaceutical scaffolds. This strategy eliminates the need for synthesizing chiral noncanonical aryl alanines before peptide formation, and the hydrogenation reaction does not result in racemization or epimerization. The underlying mechanism was extensively explored through deuterium labeling, control experiments, HRMS identification, and UV-Vis spectroscopy, which supported a reasonable CoI/CoIII catalytic cycle. Notably, acetic acid and methanol serve as safe and cost-effective hydrogen sources, while indium powder acts as the terminal electron source.

Abstract
A new approach to the enantiocontrolled synthesis of α-amino ketone derivatives is disclosed by employing a decarboxylative acylation strategy. Thus, when an acyl chloride and an α-amido-containing redox-active ester are exposed to a nickel catalyst, chiral ligand, and metal reductant, α-amido ketones are produced in good yield and high ee. The reaction exhibits broad substrate scope, can be easily scaled up, and is applied to dramatically simplify the synthesis of several known structures.

Abstract
A highly chemoselective earth-abundant transition metal copper catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of C=O bonds of exocyclic α,β-unsaturated pentanones was realized using H2 . The desired products were obtained with up to 99 % yield and 96 % ee (enantiomeric excess) (99 % ee, after recrystallization). The corresponding chiral exocyclic allylic pentanol products can be converted into several bioactive molecules. The hydrogenation mechanism was investigated via deuterium-labelling experiments and control experiments, which indicate that the keto-enol isomerization rate of the substrate is faster than that of the hydrogenation and also show that the Cu-H complex can only catalyze chemoselectively the asymmetric reduction of the carbonyl group. Computational results indicate that the multiple attractive dispersion interactions (MADI effect) between the catalyst with bulky substituents and substrate play important roles which stabilize the transition states and reduce the generation of by-products.

A new class of cobalt catalytic system for asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones was herein reported, involving the development of novel ferrocene-based secondary phosphine oxide ligands. An unusual P-O bidentate coordination pattern with cobalt was confirmed by an X-ray diffraction study. The bichelating tetrahedral cobalt(II) complexes afforded high reactivities (up to 99% yield) and good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee) in the AH of various ortho-substituted diaryl ketones. In addition, the diferrocenyl cobalt complex was characterized with intriguing UV-vis absorption and electrochemical properties.

Abstract
The mechanism of the recently reported catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of enyne 1 catalyzed by the Co-(R,R)-QuinoxP* complex was studied by DFT. Conceivable pathways for the Co(I)-Co(III) mechanism were computed together with a Co(0)-Co(II) catalytic cycle. It is commonly assumed that the exact nature of the chemical transformations taking place along the actually operating catalytic pathway determine the sense and level of enantioselection of the catalytic reaction. In this work, two chemically different mechanisms reproduced the experimentally observed perfect stereoselection of the same handedness. Moreover, the relative stabilities of the transition states of the stereo induction stages were controlled via exactly the same weak disperse interactions between the catalyst and the substrate.

Efficient Ni/(S,S)-Ph-BPE-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-substituted α,β-unsaturated phosphine oxides/phosphonates/phosphoric acids has been successfully developed, and a wide range of chiral α-substituted phosphines hydrogenation products were obtained in generally high yields with excellent enantioselective control (92%-99% yields, 84%->99% ee). This method features a cheap transition metal nickel catalytic system, high functional group tolerance, wide substrate scope generality, and excellent enantioselectivity. A plausible catalytic cycle was proposed for this asymmetric hydrogenation according to the results of deuterium-labeling experiments.

Abstract
Asymmetric sequential hydrogenations of conjugated enynes have been developed using a Ph-BPE-CoI catalyst for the precise synthesis of chiral Z-allylamides in high activity (up to 1000 substrate/catalyst (S/C)) and with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99 % enantiomeric excess (ee)). Mechanism experiments and theoretical calculations support a cationic CoI /CoIII redox catalytic cycle. The catalytic activity difference between cobalt complexes of Ph-BPE and QuinoxP* was explained by the process decomposition of rate-determining step in the second hydrogenation.

Abstract
Chiral α-substituted ethylphosphonate and ethylphosphine oxide compounds are widely used in drugs, pesticides, and ligands. However, their catalytic asymmetric synthesis is still rare. Of the only asymmetric hydrogenation methods available at present, all cases use rare metal catalysts. Herein, we report an efficient earth-abundant transition-metal nickel catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation affording the corresponding chiral ethylphosphine products with up to 99 % yield, 96 % ee (enantiomeric excess) (99 % ee, after recrystallization) and 1000 S/C (substrate/catalyst); this is also the first study on the asymmetric hydrogenation of terminal olefins using a nickel catalyst under a hydrogen atmosphere. The catalytic mechanism was investigated via deuterium-labelling experiments and calculations which indicate that the two added hydrogen atoms of the products come from hydrogen gas. Additionally, it is believed that the reaction involves a NiII rather than Ni0 cyclic process based on the weak attractive interactions between the Ni catalyst and terminal olefin substrate.

Abstract
Herein, we report an efficient iridium-catalyzed double asymmetric hydrogenation of 2,5-dialkylienecyclopentanones, delivering the chiral 2,5-disubstituted cyclopentanones in excellent yields and stereoselectivities. The results of the kinetic experiments and control experiments indicated that the two C═C bonds were hydrogenated in a stepwise manner and the second stereocenter was synergistically controlled by the chiral catalyst and the chirality of monohydrogenated product. The hydrogenated products can be prepared on a gram-scale and are easily derivatized.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a method to produce (Z)-trifluoromethyl enol esters via the olefination and trifluoromethylation of carboxylic acids with TMSCF3. This synthetic method uses inexpensive and easy-to-handle TMSCF3. It employs a commercially available CuCl catalyst to transform a broad range of carboxylic acids into versatile (Z)-trifluoromethyl enol esters with good regio- and stereoselectivity. This protocol allows the concise synthesis of highly functionalized (Z)-trifluoromethyl enol esters directly from carboxylic acids.

Abstract
A highly efficient Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of functionalized olefins has been realized by a new family of highly rigid chiral ferrocenylphosphine-spiro phosphonamidite ligands. Excellent enantiocontrol (>99% ee in most cases) was achieved with a wide range of α-dehydroamino acid esters and α-enamides. This practicable catalytic system was further applied in the scalable synthesis of highly optically pure key intermediates of cinacalcet and d-phenylalanine.

Abstract
Chiral hydroxylamines are vital substances in bioscience and versatile subunits in the preparation of a variety of functional molecules. However, asymmetric and non-asymmetric synthetic approaches to these compounds are far from satisfactory. Although atom-economic metal-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenations have been studied for over 50 years, the asymmetric hydrogenation of oximes to the corresponding chiral hydroxylamines remains challenging because of the labile N-O bond and inert C=N bond. Here we report an environmentally friendly, earth-abundant, transition-metal nickel-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of oximes, affording the corresponding chiral hydroxylamines with up to 99% yield, 99% e.e. and with a substrate/catalyst ratio of 1,000. Computational results indicate that the weak interactions between the catalyst and substrate play crucial roles not only in the transition states, but also during the approach of the substrate to the catalyst, by selectively reducing the reaction barriers and thus improving the reaction efficiency and securing the generation of chirality.

Abstract
The asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of 3H-indoles represents an ideal approach to the synthesis of useful chiral indoline scaffolds. However, very few catalytic systems based on precious metals have been developed to realize this challenging reaction. Herein, we report a Mn-catalyzed AH of 3H-indoles with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The kinetic resolution of racemic 3H-indoles by AH was also achieved with high s-factors to construct quaternary stereocenters. Many acid-sensitive functional groups, which cannot be tolerated when using a state-of-the-art ruthenium catalyst, were compatible with manganese catalysis. This new process expands the scope of this transformation and highlights the uniqueness of earth-abundant metal catalysis. The reaction could proceed with catalyst loadings at the parts per million (ppm) level with an exceptional turnover number of 72 350. This is the highest value yet reported for an earth-abundant metal-catalyzed AH reaction.

Abstract
A robust and highly active homogeneous chiral nickel-phosphine complex for the asymmetric hydrogenation of aliphatic γ- and δ-ketoacids has been discovered. The hydrogenation could proceed smoothly in the presence of 0.0133 mol% catalyst loading (S/C=7500). The coordination chemistry and catalytic behavior of Ni(OTf)2 with (S,S)-Ph-BPE were explored by 1 H NMR and HRMS. The mechanistic studies revealed that a proton promoted the activation of the substrate C=O bond and controlled the stereoselectivity through hydrogen bonds. A series of chiral γ- and δ-alkyl substituted lactones were obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98 % yield and 99 % ee). In addition, this catalytic system also demonstrated that levulinic acid produced from a biomass feedstock was converted into chiral γ-valerolactone without loss of ee value.

Abstract
Chiral amines are key structural motifs present in a wide variety of natural products, drugs, and other biologically active compounds. During the past decade, significant advances have been made with respect to the enantioselective synthesis of chiral amines, many of them based on catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation (AH). The present review covers the use of AH in the synthesis of chiral amines bearing a stereogenic center either in the α, β, or γ position with respect to the nitrogen atom, reported from 2010 to 2020.

Abstract
Asymmetric hydrogenation of unsaturated morpholines has been developed by using a bisphosphine-rhodium catalyst bearing a large bite angle. With this approach, a variety of 2-substituted chiral morpholines could be obtained in quantitative yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). The hydrogenated products could be transformed into key intermediates for bioactive compounds. 2-Substituted chiral morpholines were synthesized via a newly developed asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydromorpholines catalyzed by a bisphosphine–rhodium complex bearing a large bite angle.![]()

Abstract
Asymmetric hydrogenation has remained an important and challenging research area in industry as well as academia due to its high atom economy and ability to induce chirality. Among several types of ligands, chiral bidentate phosphine ligands have played a pivotal role in developing asymmetric hydrogenation. Although C2-symmetric chiral bidentate phosphine ligands have dominated the field, it has been found that several C1-symmetric ligands are equally effective and, in many cases, have outperformed their C2-symmetric counterparts. This review evaluates the possibility of the use of C1-symmetric diphosphorus ligands in asymmetric hydrogenation to produce chiral compounds. The recent strategies and advances in the application of C1-symmetric diphosphorus ligands in the metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of a variety of CC bonds have been summarized. The potential of diphosphorus ligands in asymmetric hydrogenation to produce pharmaceutical intermediates, bioactive molecules, drug molecules, agrochemicals, and fragrances is discussed. Although asymmetric hydrogenation appears to be a problem that has been resolved, a deep dive into the recent literature reveals that there are several challenges that are yet to be addressed. The current asymmetric hydrogenation methods mostly employ precious metals, which are depleting at a fast pace. Therefore, scientific interventions to perform asymmetric hydrogenation using base metals or earth-abundant metals that can compete with established precious metals hold significant potential.

Abstract
An asymmetric hydrogenation of 3-benzoylaminocoumarins was achieved for the first time using our BridgePhos-Rh catalytic system, providing chiral 3-amino dihydrocoumarins in high yields (up to 98 %) and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.7 % ee). The relationship between the enantioselectivities of the hydrogenations and the dihedral angles and the resulting π-π stacking effects of the BridgePhos-Rh complexes, which were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, are discussed. The corresponding hydrogenated products allow for many transformations, providing several chiral skeletons with important physiological and pharmacological activities.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation for kinetic resolution of [2.2]paracyclophane-derived cyclic N-sulfonylimines was successfully developed. High selectivity factors were observed in most cases (s up to 89), providing the recovered materials and hydrogenation products in good yields with high levels of enantiopurity. The recovered materials and hydrogenation products are useful synthetic intermediates for the synthesis of planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane-based compounds.

Abstract
Asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most powerful methods for the preparation of single enantiomer compounds. However, the chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of the relatively inert unsaturated group in substrates possessing multiple unsaturated bonds remains a challenge. We herein report a protocol for the highly chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of conjugated enynes while keeping the alkynyl bond intact. Mechanism studies indicate that the accompanying Zn2+ generated from zinc reduction of the CoII complex plays a critical role to initiate a plausible CoI /CoIII catalytic cycle. This approach allows for the highly efficient generation of chiral propargylamines (up to 99.9 % ee and 2000 S/C) and further useful chemical transformations.

The asymmetric reduction of aromatic α-dehydroamino acid esters with water as the hydrogen source was developed by a Rh/Cu co-catalytic system. The reaction tolerates various functional groups, providing a valuable synthetic tool to access chiral α-amino acid esters readily. Moreover, the present methodology also was applied in the cost-effective and easy to handle preparation of chiral deuterated α-amino esters by using D2O.

Abstract
A highly efficient catalytic system based on the cheap transition metal nickel for the asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging cyclic alkenyl sulfones, 3-substituted benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxides, was first successfully developed. A series of hydrogenation products, chiral 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxides, were obtained in high yields (95-99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (90-99% ee). According to the results of nonlinear effect studies, deuterium-labeling experiments, and DFT calculation investigations, a reasonable catalytic mechanism for this nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation was provided, which displayed that the two added hydrogen atoms of the hydrogenation products could be from H2 through the insertion of Ni-H and subsequent hydrogenolysis.
