Abstract
The development of efficient methodologies for the controlled manufacture of specific stereoisomers bearing quaternary stereocenters has prompted advances in a variety of scientific disciplines including pharmaceutical chemistry, materials science, and chemical biology. However, complete control of the absolute and relative stereochemical configurations of alkyne derivatives remains an unmet synthetic challenge. Herein, a Ni/Cu dual-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic substitution reaction is presented to produce propargylated products with all-carbon quaternary stereocenters in high yields with significant diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 dr, >99% ee). The synthesis of all stereochemical variants of methohexital, a widely used sedative-hypnotic drug, exemplifies the efficacy of dual-catalyzed stereodivergent propargylation.

Abstract
The dual catalysis strategy is an efficient and powerful tool to fulfill the stereodivergent synthesis of stereoisomeric products from the same set of starting materials. Great attention has been given to the construction of chiral compounds with two contiguous stereocenters. However, the synthesis of two remote noncontiguous stereocenters is more challenging and is less developed, despite the high demand for synthetic tactics. We herein developed an unprecedented example of the stereodivergent preparation of synthetically useful and biologically important chiral ζ-hydroxy amino ester derivatives containing remote 1,6-noncontiguous stereocenters and a unique β,γ-unsaturation moiety. This cascade dehydrogenation/1,6-Michael addition/hydrogenation protocol between readily-available ketoimine esters and racemic branched dienyl carbinols was rationally realized with bimetallic copper/ruthenium relay catalysis. The key features of the process were atom economy, step economy, and redox-neutrality. All four stereoisomers of chiral ζ-hydroxy amino ester derivatives were easily achieved by the orthogonal permutations of a chiral copper catalyst and chiral ruthenium catalyst. Importantly, a much more challenging stereodivergent synthesis of all eight stereoisomers of chiral peptide products containing three remote stereocenters was accomplished with excellent results through the cooperation of two chiral catalyst pairs and substrate enantiomers.

Abstract
Highly functionalized organic molecules are in high demand, but their preparation is challenging. Copper-catalyzed transformation of alkynyl- and allenyl-containing substrates has emerged as a powerful tool to achieve this objective. Herein, an efficient copper-catalyzed difunctionalization of propargylic carbonates through tandem nucleophilic substitution/boroprotonation has been developed, affording the formation of thiol-, selenium-, and boron-functionalized alkenes with high yield and stereoselectivity. Two distinct catalytic mechanisms involving a single reaction without any requirement of catalyst change were successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
An atom- and step-economical and redox-neutral cascade reaction enabled by asymmetric bimetallic relay catalysis by merging a ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric borrowing-hydrogen reaction with copper-catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition has been realized. A variety of highly functionalized 2-amino-5-hydroxyvaleric acid esters or peptides bearing 1,4-non-adjacent stereogenic centers have been prepared in high yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity. Judicious selection and rational modification of the Ru catalysts with careful tuning of the reaction conditions played a pivotal role in stereoselectivity control as well as attenuating undesired α-epimerization, thus enabling a full complement of all four stereoisomers that were otherwise inaccessible in previous work. Concise asymmetric stereodivergent synthesis of the key intermediates for biologically important chiral molecules further showcases the synthetic utility of this methodology.

Abstract
The development of a reliable strategy for stereodivergent radical reactions that allows convenient access to all stereoisomers of homocoupling adducts with multiple stereogenic centers remains an unmet goal in organic synthesis. Herein, we describe a dual-catalyzed electrooxidative C(sp3)-H/C(sp3)-H homocoupling with complete absolute and relative stereocontrol for the synthesis of molecules with contiguous quaternary stereocenters in a general and predictable manner. The stereodivergent electrooxidative homocoupling reaction is achieved by synergistically utilizing two distinct chiral catalysts that convert identical racemic substrates into inherently distinctive reactive chiral intermediates, dictate enantioselective radical addition, and allow access to the full complement of stereoisomeric products via simple catalyst permutation. The successful execution of the dual-electrocatalytic strategy programmed via electrooxidative activation provides a significant conceptual advantage and will serve as a useful foundation for further research into cooperative stereocontrolled radical transformations and diversity-oriented synthesis.

Abstract
Performing asymmetric cross-coupling reactions between propargylic electrophiles and aryl nucleophiles is a well-established method to build enantioenriched benzylic alkynes. Here, a catalytic enantioselective propargyl-aryl cross-coupling between two electrophiles was achieved for the first time in a stereoconvergent manner. Propargylic chlorides were treated with aryl iodides as well as heteroaryl iodides in the presence of a chiral nickel complex, and manganese metal was used as a stoichiometric reductant, allowing for the construction of a propargyl C-aryl bond under mild conditions. An alternative dual nickel/photoredox catalytic protocol was also developed for this cross-electrophile coupling in the absence of a metal reductant. The potential utility of this conversion is demonstrated in the facile construction of stereoenriched bioactive molecule derivatives and medicinal compounds based on the diversity of acetylenic chemistry. Detailed experimental studies have revealed the key mechanistic features of this transformation.

Abstract
Chiral functionalized piperidine and lactone heterocycles are widely spread in natural products and drug candidates with promising pharmacological properties. However, there remains no general asymmetric methodologies that enable rapid assemble both critical biologically important units into one three-dimensional chiral molecule. Herein, we describe a straightforward relay strategy for the construction of enantioenriched bridged piperidine-γ-butyrolactone skeletons incorporating three skipped stereocenters via asymmetric allylic alkylation and aza-Prins cyclization/lactonization sequences. The excellent enantioselectivity control in asymmetric allylation with the simplest allylic precursor is enabled by the synergistic Cu/Ir-catalyzed protocol; the success of aza-Prins cyclization/lactonization can be attributed to the pivotal role of the ester substituent, which acts as a preferential intramolecular nucleophile to terminate the aza-Prins intermediacy of piperid-4-yl cation species. The resulting chiral piperidine-γ-butyrolactone bridged-heterocyclic products show impressive preliminary biological activities against a panel of cancer cell lines.

Abstract
The development of stereodivergent synthetic methods to access all four stereoisomers of biologically important α-fluoro γ-butyrolactones containing vicinal stereocenters is of great importance and poses a formidable challenge owing to ring strain and steric hindrance. Herein, a novel asymmetric [3+2] annulation of α-fluoro α-azaaryl acetates with vinylethylene carbonate was successfully developed through Cu/Ir-catalyzed cascade allylic alkylation/lactonization, affording a variety of enantioenriched α-fluoro γ-butyrolactones bearing vicinal stereogenic centers with high reaction efficiency and excellent levels of both stereoselectivity and regioselectivity (up to 98% yield, generally >20:1 dr and >99% ee). Notably, all four stereoisomers of these pharmaceutically valuable molecules could be accessed individually via simple permutations of two enantiomeric catalysts. In addition, other azaaryl acetates bearing α-methyl, α-chlorine or α-phenyl group were tolerated well in this transformation. Reaction mechanistic investigations were conducted to explore the process of this bimetallic catalysis based on the results of reaction intermediates, isotopic labelling experiments, and kinetic studies.

Abstract
The creation of full stereoisomers of an organic compound comprising multiple contiguous stereocenters with simultaneous control over both relative and absolute configurations remains a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry. Using a cooperative catalysis strategy, we established an N-heterocyclic carbene/nickel-catalyzed enantio- and diastereodivergent propargylation reaction to access 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles, enabling the incorporation of internal alkyne functionality and the introduction of a single quaternary or vicinal quaternary/tertiary stereogenic center. By selecting the appropriate combination of catalyst chirality, all four potential stereoisomers of α-quaternary propargylated oxindoles were synthesized in a predictable and precise way with remarkable yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities from identical starting materials. The synthetic utility of this method was demonstrated in the concise asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-debromoflustramine B and (-)-C(β-Me)-debromoflustramine B.

Abstract
Alongside enantioselective catalysis, synthetic chemists are often confronted by the challenge of achieving catalyst control over the relative configuration to stereodivergently access desired diastereomers. Typically, these approaches iteratively or simultaneously control multiple stereogenic units for which dual catalytic methods comprising sequential, relay, and synergistic catalysis emerged as particularly efficient strategies. In this Perspective, the benefits and challenges of catalyst-controlled diastereodivergence in the construction of carbon stereocenters are discussed on the basis of illustrative examples. The concepts are then transferred to diastereodivergent catalysis for atropisomeric systems with twofold and higher-order stereogenicity as well as diastereodivergent catalyst control over E- and Z-configured alkenes.

The resulting allenenitriles can be readily converted to useful functionalized heterocycles. Based on mechanistic study, it is confirmed that this is the first example of radical-based non-activated propargylic C-H functionalization for allene syntheses.

Abstract
The significance of chiral α-tertiary amines in medicinal chemistry and drug development has been unquestionably established in the last few decades. α-Tertiary amines are attractive structural motifs for natural products, bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals and are preclinical candidates. Their syntheses have been the focus of intensive research, and the development of new methods has continued to attract more and more attention. In this review, we present the progress in the last decade in the development of synthetic methods for the assembly of chiral ATAs via transition-metal catalysis. To date, the effective approaches in this area could be categorized into three strategies: enantioselective direct and indirect Mannich addition to ketimines; umpolung asymmetric alkylation of imine derivatives; and asymmetric C-N cross-coupling of tertiary alkyl electrophiles. Several related developing strategies for the synthesis of ATAs, such as hydroamination of alkenes, HAT amination approaches and the C-C coupling of α-aminoalkyl fragments, are also described in this article. These strategies have emerged as attractive C-C and C-N bond-forming protocols for enantioselective construction of chiral α-tertiary amines, and to some extent are complementary to each other, showing the prospect of application in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.

Abstract
We report the dual-catalytic enantioselective allylic alkylation of 2-(pyridylmethyl)amine-derived ketimines with allylic carbonates. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions to generate α-amino heteroaryl benzylamine stereocenters in good yield and enantioselectivity. Enantioselectivity is achieved through the use of a copper catalyst modified with chiral bisphosphine ligand (2S,4S)-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane.

Abstract
The combined catalytic systems derived from organocatalysts and transition metals exhibit powerful activation and stereoselective-control abilities in asymmetric catalysis. This work describes a highly efficient chiral aldehyde-nickel dual catalytic system and its application for the direct asymmetric α-propargylation reaction of amino acid esters with propargylic alcohol derivatives. Various structural diversity α,α-disubstituted non-proteinogenic α-amino acid esters are produced in good-to-excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Furthermore, a stereodivergent synthesis of natural product NP25302 is achieved, and a reasonable reaction mechanism is proposed to illustrate the observed stereoselectivity based on the results of control experiments, nonlinear effect investigation, and HRMS detection.

Abstract
The development of general catalytic methods for the regio- and stereoselective construction of phosphoryl derivatives from identical substrates remains a formidable challenge in organic synthesis. Enabled by the newly developed BDPP-type ligands, we disclosed a nickel-catalyzed allenylation of phosphine oxides rationally and predictably, allowing the construction of versatile chiral allenylphosphoryl derivatives with high enantiopurity (up to 94% e.e.). Alternatively, using an achiral phosphine ligand dcypbz under acidic conditions, we achieved a regiochemical switch of the 1,3-dienylation to afford functionalized phosphinoyl 1,3-butadienes (up to 93% yield). The salient features of this method include switchable reactivity, broad substrate scope, readily available feedstock, single-step preparation, and high asymmetric induction.

Abstract
Chiral fluorinated amino esters and pyrrolidines are privileged scaffolds in synthetic chemistry and exhibit unique biological properties. We report the facile preparation of these compounds through copper-catalyzed switchable defluoroalkylation and [3 + 2] cycloaddition of trifluoropropene in an asymmetric fashion. The choice of solvent and chiral ligand was crucial for the efficient transformation and exquisite chemoselectivity pattern from identical starting materials that rapidly and reliably incorporate gem-difluoroalkene and trifluoromethyl (CF3) motifs to generate a diverse range of enantioenriched fluorinated building blocks in good to excellent yields with high asymmetric induction.

Abstract
We recently proposed a transition-state model for asymmetric propargylic substitution reactions of propargylic alcohols catalyzed by optically active thiolate-bridged diruthenium complexes [Chem. - Asian J.2021, 16, 3760-3766]. In the present study, we further examined the effects of propargylic substituents on both enantioselectivity and reactivity in the propargylic substitution reactions via ωB97X-D-level density functional theory (DFT) calculations. When the propargylic alcohol bears a methyl group at the propargylic position, we obtained results that contrast with the result of our previous study on propargylic alcohols without methyl groups. This result indicates that methyl group substitution at the propargylic position reverses the stereoselectivity. Substitution of a trifluoromethyl group for a methyl group was suggested to result in higher enantioselectivity. The obtained results are consistent with the experimental study on enantioselective propargylic phosphinylation reactions reported by our group.

Abstract
Copper-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic substitution with salicylaldehyde-derived imine esters and propargylic carbonates has been successfully realized, generating a wide range of chiral amino acid derivatives containing propargylic groups with excellent results (up to 95% yield and 94% ee). The ortho-hydroxy group of the salicylaldehyde-derived imine esters is crucial to increase the reactivity and stabilize the azomethine ylide, which may be due to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and the imine group. A series of synthetic transformations were carried out to access other important chiral compounds, which displayed the synthetic versatility.

Abstract
A one-pot Cu-mediated H-D exchange with inexpensive heavy water as the deuterium source, followed by Cu- and Ir-catalyzed stereodivergent allylic alkylation, has been developed, providing efficient access to enantioenriched α-deuterium-labeled α-amino acids from readily available glycine imine esters in a high yield with excellent stereoselectivity. High deuterium enrichment, exquisite regioselectivity, precise stereoselectivity control, and operationally convenient procedures make this protocol appealing for the preparation of highly synthetically useful α-deuterated α-amino acids.

Abstract
Due to high bond dissociation energies of Csp2-F bonds, using fluorinated compounds in Csp2-Csp3 cross-coupling is difficult. Here the authors report a protocol for enantioselective Csp2-Csp3 coupling of dienyl fluorides with aldimine esters, enabled by synergistic copper and palladium catalysis. This reaction represents the first example of asymmetric Csp2-Csp3 cross-coupling involving an inert Csp2-F bond and provides expeditious access to chiral α-alkenyl α-amino acids with high enantioselectivity. Control experiments suggest that the Csp2-F bond activation occurs through a pathway involving PdH migratory insertion and subsequent allylic defluorination, rather than by direct oxidative addition of the Csp2-F bond to Pd(0). The detailed mechanism is further investigated by DFT calculation and the enantioselectivity is rationalized.

Herein, we report efficient catalytic asymmetric formal 1,3-dipolar (3 + 4) cycloadditions of azomethine ylides with 4-indolyl allylic carbonates for the construction of azepino[3,4,5-cd]-indoles fused with a challenging seven-membered N-heterocycle, a frequently occurring tricyclic indole scaffold in bioactive compounds and pharmaceuticals. Through cooperative Cu/Ir-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation followed by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction, an array of azepino[3,4,5-cd]-indoles were obtained in good yields with excellent diastereo-/enantioselective control. More importantly, the full stereodivergence of this transformation was established via synergistic catalysis followed by acid-promoted epimerization, and up to eight stereoisomers of the cycloadducts bearing three stereogenic centers could be predictably achieved from the same set of starting materials for the first time. Quantum mechanical computations established a plausible mechanism for the synergistic Cu/Ir catalysis to stereodivergently introduce two vicinal stereocenters whose stereochemical information is remotely delivered across the fused azepine ring to control the third chiral center. Epimerization of the last center involves protonation-enabled reversal of the thermodynamically controlled relative configuration.

Abstract
A Ni-mediated decarboxylative silylation of alkynyl cyclic carbonates used as versatile propargylic surrogates is reported affording a wide range of highly substituted 2,3- and 3,4-allenol products in good yields. The formal cross-coupling between a tentative intermediate Ni(allenyl) and the silyl reagent was further extended to enantiospecific conversions providing access to chiral allene synthons. This protocol marks the first Ni-catalyzed propargylic silylation proceeding through an SN2' manifold.

Abstract
A highly enantioselective O-propargylation catalyzed by combining a phosphine-nickel complex and an axially chiral sodium dicarboxylate has been developed. The transformation features mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerance, offering an efficient approach to an array of enantioenriched O-propargyl hydroxylamines. Mechanistic studies support the presumed role of the chiral carboxylate as a counterion for nickel catalysis enabling the discovery of highly stereoselective transformations. The power of this reaction is illustrated by its application in the asymmetric total synthesis of potent firefly luciferase inhibitors and (S)-dihydroyashabushiketol.

Abstract
Methods that enable the rapid construction of multiple C–C bonds using a single catalyst with high diastereo- and enantio-control are particularly valuable in organic synthesis. Here, we report an Ir-catalyzed double allylic alkylation reaction in which bisnucleophilic cyanoacetate reacted successionally with electrophilic π-allyl-Ir species, producing various pseudo-C2-symmetrical cyanoacetate derivatives in high yield with excellent stereocontrol. More challenging sequential allylic alkylation/allylic alkylation with two distinct allylic carbonates that can deliver the corresponding products bearing three contiguous tertiary–quaternary–tertiary stereocenters was also developed by using a modified catalytic system, which is revealed to be associated with the quasi-dynamic kinetic resolution of the initially formed diastereomeric monoallylation intermediates. Notably, stereodivergence for this sequential process depending on a single iridium catalyst was successfully realized, and up to six stereoisomers could be predictably prepared by combining the appropriate enantiomer of the chiral ligand for the iridium catalyst and adjusting the adding sequence of two distinct allylic precursors. Ir-catalyzed asymmetric double AAA reaction of cyanoacetate was developed, affording cyanoacetate derivatives in high yield with excellent stereocontrol. Notably, quasi-DKR is involved in the sequential protocol with two distinct allylic carbonates.![]()

Abstract
Herein we report an enantioselective sulfenylation of cyclic imino esters with the efficient and versatile sulfenylation reagent S-alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonothioates. By utilizing the Cu/tBu-Phosferrox catalytic system, we can assemble diverse S-alkyl groups into the cyclic imino esters under mild conditions in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. Remarkably, this method demonstrates a high tolerance of diverse functional groups and proves to be applicable in the late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals.

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
By virtue of a fundamentally new reaction model of azomethine ylide serving as a two-atom synthon, we present the first example of stereodivergent preparation of γ-butyrolactones via synergistic Cu/Ir-catalyzed asymmetric cascade allylation/lactonization, and all four stereoisomers of γ-butyrolactones bearing two vicinal stereocenters are accessible with excellent diastereoselective and enantioselective control. The chiral IrIII -π-allyl intermediate was separated and characterized to understand the origin of the regio- and stereoselectivity of the initial C-C bond formation process. Control experiments shed some light on the catalyst/substrate and catalyst/catalyst interactions in this dual catalytic system to rationalize the related kinetic/dynamic kinetic resolution process with different catalyst combinations. The enantioenriched γ-butyrolactone products were converted into an array of structurally complex chiral molecules and organocatalysts that were otherwise inaccessible.

Abstract
Difluoromethyl amino acids (DFAA) exhibit intriguing biological properties, making them highly desirable motifs in agrochemical and pharmaceutical science. However, stereochemical control of direct difluoromethyl transformation via the difluorocarbene species has not been demonstrated. Here we describe an efficient copper-catalyzed asymmetric difluoromethylation reaction that systematically delivers chiral DFAA as rationally designed mechanism-based inhibitors of PLP-dependent amino acid decarboxylases. The reaction employs difluoromonochloromethane, an abundant raw material, as the direct precursor of difluorocarbene species, enabling the unprecedentedly direct conversion of amino esters into corresponding valuable DFAA products in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. This de novo synthesis creates opportunities to integrate an asymmetric catalytic platform for the preparation of diverse libraries of biologically important DFAA derivatives and will support efforts in both drug discovery and development.

Abstract
Chiral acetylenic derivatives are found in many bioactive compounds and are versatile functional groups in organic chemistry. Here, we describe an enantioselective nickel/Lewis acid-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic substitution reaction from simple achiral materials under mild condition. The introduction of a Lewis acid cocatalyst is crucial to the efficiency of the transformation. Notably, we investigate this asymmetric propargylic substitution reaction for the development of a range of structurally diverse natural products. The power of this strategy is highlighted by the collective synthesis of seven biologically active compounds: (-)-Thiohexital, (+)-Thiopental, (+)-Pentobarbital, (-)-AMG 837, (+)-Phenoxanol, (+)-Citralis, and (-)-Citralis Nitrile.
