Abstract
A novel enantioselective Tsuji-Trost-type cross coupling reaction between gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes and N-unprotected amino acid esters enabled by synergistic Pd/Ni/chiral aldehyde catalysis is presented herein. This transformation streamlined the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of optically active α-quaternary α-amino acid esters bearing a linear 2-fluoroallylic motif, which served as an appealing platform for the construction of other valuable enantioenriched compounds. The key intermediates were confirmed by HRMS detection, while DFT calculations revealed that the excellent enantioselectivity was attributed to the stabilizing non-covalent interactions between the Pd(II)-π-fluoroallyl species and the Ni(II)-Schiff base complex.

Abstract
Chiral α-tertiary amines and related azacycles are sought-after compounds for drug development. Despite progress in the catalytic asymmetric construction of aza-quaternary stereocentres, enantioselective synthesis of multifunctional α-tertiary amines remains underdeveloped. Enantioenriched α-disubstituted α-ethynylamines are attractive synthons for constructing chiral α-tertiary amines and azacycles, but methods for their catalytic enantioselective synthesis need to be expanded. Here we describe an enantioselective asymmetric Cu(I)-catalysed propargylic amination (ACPA) of simple ketone-derived propargylic carbonates to give both α-dialkylated and α-alkyl-α-aryl α-tertiary ethynylamines. Sterically confined pyridinebisoxazoline (PYBOX) ligands, with a C4 shielding group and relaying groups, play a key role in achieving excellent enantioselectivity. The syntheses of quaternary 2,5-dihydropyrroles, dihydroquinines, dihydrobenzoquinolines and dihydroquinolino[1,2-α]quinolines are reported, and the synthetic value is further demonstrated by the enantioselective catalytic total synthesis of a selective multi-target β-secretase inhibitor. Enantioselective Cu-catalysed propargylic substitutions with O- and C-centred nucleophiles are also realized, further demonstrating the potential of the PYBOX ligand.

Abstract
Primary alkyl amines are highly reactive in N-nucleophilic reactions with electrophiles. However, their α-C-H bonds are unreactive towards electrophiles due to their extremely low acidity (pKa ~57). Nonetheless, 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO) can activate primary alkyl amines by increasing the acidity of the α-amino C-H bonds by up to 1044 times. This makes the α-amino C-H bonds acidic enough to be deprotonated under mild conditions. By combining DFO with an iridium catalyst, direct asymmetric α-C-H alkylation of NH2-unprotected primary alkyl amines with allylic carbonates has been achieved. This reaction produces a wide range of chiral homoallylic amines with high enantiopurities. The approach has successfully switched the reactivity between primary alkyl amines and allylic carbonates from intrinsic allylic amination to the α-C-H alkylation, enabling the construction of pharmaceutically significant chiral homoallylic amines from readily available primary alkyl amines in a single step.

Abstract
Reported in this work is a synergistic ternary achiral picolinaldehyde-Zn(II)-chiral palladium complex system for the highly enantioselective α-allylation of N-unprotected amino esters. By utilizing a variety of allylic carbonates or vinyl benzoxazinanones as substrates, α-allyl α-amino esters were obtained in high yields (up to 96 %) with high enantioselectivities (up to 98 % ee). Control experiments suggest that the coordination of Zn(II) with the Schiff base intermediate enhances the acidity of the α-C-H bonds of amino esters, thereby favoring α-allylation over intrinsic N-allylation. Furthermore, NMR studies reveal an interaction between the chiral palladium complex and the Zn(II)-Schiff base intermediate, leading to the formation of a picolinaldehyde-Zn(II)-Pd(0) catalytic system.

Abstract
The direct catalytic α-hydrocarbylation of readily available amino acids with halohydrocarbons is one of the most straightforward methods leading to α,α-disubstituted non-proteinogenic α-amino acid compounds. However, all the reported methodologies depend on N-protected amino acids as starting materials. Herein, we report on three highly efficient aldehyde-catalyzed direct α-hydrocarbylations of N-unprotected amino acid esters with aryl-, allyl-, and benzyl halides. By promoting a simple chiral BINOL-aldehyde catalyst or combining catalysts of a chiral aldehyde and Lewis acid ZnCl2, the asymmetric α-arylation, α-allylation, and α-benzylation of amino acid esters with the corresponding halohydrocarbons proceed smoothly, producing α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids in moderate-to-high yields and good-to-excellent enantioselectivities. The asymmetric α-arylation reaction can be applied in the formal synthesis of the clinical candidate compound (+)-AG-041R. Based on the results given by control experiments, three reaction models are proposed to illustrate the stereoselective-control outcomes.

Abstract
ConspectusOne of the fundamental goals of chemists is to develop highly efficient methods for producing optically active compounds, given their wide range of applications in chemistry, pharmaceutical industry, chemical biology, and material science. Biomimetic asymmetric catalysis, which imitates the structures and functions of enzymes, has emerged as an extremely attractive strategy for producing chiral compounds. This field has drawn tremendous research interest and has led to various protocols for constructing complex molecular scaffolds. The Vitamin B6 family, including pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, pyridoxine, and the corresponding phosphorylated derivatives, serves as the cofactors to catalyze more than 200 enzymatic functions, accounting for ∼4% of all enzyme activities. Although significant progress has been made in simulating the biological roles of vitamin B6 during the past several decades, its extraordinary catalytic power has not yet been successfully applied into asymmetric synthesis. In recent years, our group has been devoted to developing vitamin B6-based biomimetic asymmetric catalysis using chiral pyridoxals/pyridoxamines as catalysts. We are particularly interested in mimicking the processes of enzymatic transamination and biological aldol reaction of glycine, respectively, developing asymmetric biomimetic transamination and carbonyl catalysis enabled α-C-H transformation of primary amines. Using a chiral α,α-diarylprolinol-derived pyridoxal as the catalyst, we reported the first chiral pyridoxal catalyzed asymmetric transamination of α-keto acids in 2015. A significant breakthrough in biomimetic transamination was achieved by using an axially chiral biaryl pyridoxamine catalyst that bears a lateral amine side arm. The amine side arm acts as an intramolecular base, accelerating the transamination and proving highly effective for transamination of α-keto acids and α-keto amides. In addition, we discovered the catalytic power of chiral pyridoxals as carbonyl catalysts for asymmetric biomimetic Mannich/aldol reactions of glycinates. These chiral pyridoxals also enabled more α-C-H conversions of glycinates, such as asymmetric 1,4-addition toward α,β-unsaturated esters and asymmetric α-allylation with Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates. Moreover, carbonyl catalysis can be further applied to highly challenging primary amines with inert α-C-H bonds, such as propargylamines and benzylamines, which represents a powerful strategy for direct asymmetric α-C-H functionalization of various primary amines without protection of the NH2 group. These biomimetic/bioinspired transformations provide efficient new protocols for the synthesis of chiral amines. Herein, we summarize our recent efforts on the development of the vitamin B6-based biomimetic asymmetric catalysis.

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
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) represents one of the most prolific structural units widely used in the design of modern pharmaceuticals. For example, β-substituted GABA derivatives are found in numerous neurological drugs, such as baclofen, phenibut, tolibut, pregabalin, phenylpiracetam, brivaracetam, and rolipram, to mention just a few. In this review, we critically discuss the literature data reported on the preparation of substituted GABA derivatives using the Michael addition reaction as a key synthetic transformation. Special attention is paid to asymmetric methods featuring synthetically useful stereochemical outcomes and operational simplicity.

Abstract
Owing to the strong nucleophilicity of the NH2 group, free-NH2 glycinates react with MBH acetates to usually deliver N-allylated products even in the absence of catalysts. Without protection of the NH2 group, chiral pyridoxal catalysts bearing an amide side chain at the C3 position of the naphthyl ring switched the chemoselectivity of the glycinates from intrinsic N-allylation to α-C allylation. The reaction formed chiral multisubstituted glutamic acid esters as SN 2'-SN 2' products in good yields with excellent stereoselectivity (up to 86 % yield, >20 : 1 dr, 97 % ee). As compared to pyridoxal catalysts bearing an amide side arm at the C2 position, the pyridoxals in this study have a bigger catalytic cavity to enable effective activation of larger electrophiles, such as MBH acetates and related intermediates. The reaction is proposed to proceed via a cooperative bifunctional catalysis pathway, which accounts for the high level of diastereo- and enantiocontrol of the pyridoxal catalysts.

Abstract
We report here a silver-catalyzed method for the enantio- and diastereodivergent synthesis of chiral pyroglutamic acid esters with multiple stereocenters. This process proceeds through asymmetric conjugate addition of glycine imine esters to a broad range of β-substituted α,β-unsaturated perfluorophenyl esters followed by lactamization. By leveraging catalyst control and stereospecificity of the 1,4-addition process, all four product stereoisomers containing two adjacent stereocenters are accessible with high stereoselectivity.

Abstract
The direct asymmetric aldol reaction of glycinates represents an intriguing and straightforward strategy to make biologically significant chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino-acid derivatives. But it is not easy to realize the transformation due to the disruption of the reactive NH2 group of glycinates. Inspired by the enzymatic aldol reaction of glycine, we successfully developed an asymmetric aldol reaction of glycinate 5 and trifluoromethyl ketones 4 with 0.1-0.0033 mol % of chiral N-methyl pyridoxal 7 a as the catalyst, producing chiral β-trifluoromethyl-β-hydroxy-α-amino-acid esters 6 in 55-82 % yields (for the syn-diastereomers) with up to >20:1 dr and 99 % ee under very mild conditions. The reaction proceeds via a catalytic cycle similar to the enzymatic aldol reaction of glycine. Pyridoxal catalyst 7 a activates both reactants at the same time and brings them together in a specific spatial orientation, accounting for the high efficiency as well as excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Peptides are important compounds with broad applications in many areas. Asymmetric transamination of α-keto amides can provide an efficient strategy to synthesize peptides, however, the process has not been well developed yet and still remains a great challenge in both enzymatic and catalytic chemistry. For biological transamination, the high activity is attributed to manifold structural and electronic factors of transaminases. Based on the concept of multiple imitation of transaminases, here we report N-quaternized axially chiral pyridoxamines 1 for enantioselective transamination of α-keto amides, to produce various peptides in good yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. The reaction is especially attractive for the synthesis of peptides made of unnatural amino acids since it doesn’t need great efforts to make chiral unnatural amino acids before amide bond formation. Asymmetric transamination of α-keto amides could provide an efficient strategy to synthesise peptides, but has not been well developed yet. Here, the authors design chiral pyridoxamine catalyst and realize the asymmetric biomimetic transamination of α-keto amides, providing access to various peptides with excellent enantiopurities.

A class of C2-symmetric chiral spirocyclic phase-transfer catalysts based on tetramethyl-1,1'-spirobiindane scaffold was synthesized from commercially available bisphenol A in 12 steps with 22-25% total yields, which features a more rigid and stable backbone and smaller dihedral angles and can be easily modified. These catalysts show high catalytic performance in the asymmetric alkylation of tert-butyl glycinate Schiff base at only 2 mol % catalyst loading, giving the target products with up to 92% yield and 98% ee.
