Abstract
Chiral phosphorus-containing compounds find applications across various fields, including asymmetric catalysis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Despite the abundance of reported highly enantioselective methods for synthesizing various chiral phosphorus compounds, the enantioselective synthesis of α-boryl phosphorus compounds still remains an unknown territory. Here, we report a method for the construction of chiral α-boryl phosphates by asymmetric B-H insertion reaction using α-diazo phosphates as carbene precursors, cheap and readily available copper salt as the catalyst and chiral oxazoline as the ligand. This method can directly afford a series of stable α-boryl phosphates with a yield up to 97% and an enantioselectivity up to 98% ee. The operating procedure of this method is straightforward, offering a broad substrate applicability, remarkable tolerance towards various functional groups, and gentle reaction conditions.

Abstract
Carbenes, recognized as potent intermediates, enable unique chemical transformations, and organoborons are pivotal in diverse chemical applications. As a hybrid of carbene and the boryl group, α-boryl carbenes are promising intermediates for the construction of organoborons; unfortunately, such carbenes are hard to access and have low structural diversity with their asymmetric transformations largely uncharted. In this research, we utilized boryl cyclopropenes as precursors for the swift synthesis of α-boryl metal carbenes, a powerful category of intermediates for chiral organoboron synthesis. These α-boryl carbenes undergo a series of highly enantioselective transfer reactions, including B-H and Si-H insertion, cyclopropanation, and cyclopropanation/Cope rearrangement, catalyzed by a singular chiral copper complex. This approach opens paths to previously unattainable but easily transformable chiral organoborons, expanding both carbene and organoboron chemistry.

Abstract
Herein, we report a scandium-catalyzed chemoselective carbene insertion into a N-H bond over a S-H bond with disulfide formation. This reaction represents the first example of the synthesis of o-alkylamine-diaryl disulfides through the N-alkylation of o-aminobenzenethiol, while also undergoing oxidative coupling to form a S-S bond. Control experiments explain the chemo-selectivity of this rare-earth-metal Lewis acid-induced catalysis by a carbene outer-sphere nucleophilic addition mechanism. This method holds tremendous potential as a valuable tool for functionalizing advanced-synthetic-intermediates, offering numerous applications in medicinal and materials chemistry.

Abstract
Herein, a copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrophosphination of 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes is reported. It provides a series of phosphine derivatives in high to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The methodology enjoys broad substrate scope on both 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes and diarylphosphines. The high stereoselectivity is attributed to both the high stability of the Cu(I)-(R,R)-QUINOXP* complex in the presence of stoichiometric HPPh2 and the produced phosphines, and the high-performance asymmetric induction of the Cu(I)-(R,R)-QUINOXP* complex. Finally, the method is used for the synthesis of new chiral phosphine-olefin compounds built on a cyclopropane skeleton, one of which serves as a wonderful ligand in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of phenylboronic acid to various α,β-unsaturated compounds.

Abstract
The Wittig reaction, which is one of the most effective methods for synthesizing alkenes from carbonyl compounds, generally gives thermodynamically stable E-alkenes, and synthesis of trisubstituted Z-alkenes from ketones presents notable challenges. Here, we report what we refer to as Wittig/B─H insertion reactions, which innovatively combine a Wittig reaction with carbene insertion into a B─H bond and constitute a promising method for the synthesis of thermodynamically unstable trisubstituted Z-boryl alkenes. Combined with the easy transformations of boryl group, this methodology provides efficient access to a variety of previously unavailable trisubstituted Z-alkenes and thus provides a platform for discovery of pharmaceuticals. The unique Z-selectivity of the reaction is determined by the maximum overlap of the orbitals between the B─H bond of the borane adduct and the alkylidene carbene intermediate in the transition state.

Abstract
Albeit notable endeavors in enantioselective carbene insertion into X-H bonds (X = C, O, N, S, Si, B), the catalytic asymmetric P-H insertion reactions still stand for a long-lasting challenge. By merging transition-metal catalysis with organocatalysis, we achieve a scalable enantioselective P-H insertion transformation between diazo pyrazoleamides and H-phosphine oxides that upon subsequent reduction delivers a wide variety of optically active β-hydroxyl phosphine oxides in good yields with high enantioselectivity. The achiral copper catalyst fosters the carbenoid insertion into the P-H bond, while the chiral cinchona alkaloid-derived organocatalyst controls the subsequent enantioselective outcome. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further reveal that the copper catalyst chelates to the organocatalyst, enhances its acidity, and accordingly promotes the enantioselective proton transfer. Our work showcases the potential of combining transition-metal catalysis with organocatalysis to realize elusive asymmetric reactions.

Abstract
Chiral fluorinated reagents provide new opportunities for the discovery of drugs and functional materials because the introduction of a fluorinated group significantly alters a molecule's physicochemical properties. Chiral gem-difluoroalkyl fragments (R-CF2-C*) are key motifs in many drugs. However, the scarcity of synthetic methods and types of chiral gem-difluoroalkyl reagents limits the applications of these compounds. Herein, we report two types of chiral gem-difluoroalkyl reagents chiral gem-difluoroalkyl propargylic borons and gem-difluoroalkyl α-allenols and their synthesis by means of methods involving rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective B-H bond insertion reactions of carbenes and Lewis acid-promoted allenylation reactions. The mild, operationally simple method features a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. These two types of reagents contain easily transformable boron and alkynyl or allenyl moieties and thus might facilitate rapid modular construction of chiral molecules containing chiral gem-difluoroalkyl fragments and might provide new opportunities for the discovery of chiral gem-difluoroalkyl drugs and other functional molecules.

Abstract
Silylcyclopropenes are employed as precursors of α-silyl vinyl carbenes and trapped with alkenes. Cyclopropylsilanes were obtained in good yields with ample scope and complete regio- and diastereoselectivity. Stereoretentive protodesilylations enabled access to cis-1,2-disubstituted cyclopropanes. Cyclopropylstannanes and -germanes can also be prepared from the corresponding cyclopropenes.
