Abstract
Here we disclose a CuB-catalyzed reaction between aurone-derived α,β-unsaturated imines and styrenes to produce 2-substituted benzofuran derivatives bearing both the γ-boryl functionality and α,β-unsymmetric stereogenic centers. The reaction represents the first transition-metal-catalyzed unsymmetric 1,4-Michael additions of azadienes, which would enrich the arsenal of CuB catalysis in organic synthesis. In addition, the synthetically versatile boron-alkylated products can be elaborated by chemical transformations to useful optically active benzofuran heterocycles.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric 1,2-allylation of aurone-derived azadienes is very difficult to achieve due to the driving force for aromatization and the greater steric hindrance of 1,2-addition compared with 1,4-addition. By taking advantage of the ability of nitrogen ligated metal complexes, we successfully demonstrated the first example of copper-catalyzed 1,2-allylation of azadienes with allylboronates for the highly enantioselective synthesis of homoallylic amines. Meanwhile, the enantioenriched 1,4-addition products could also be obtained through a subsequent 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement of the 1,2-addition products. Extensive DFT calculations were carried out to elucidate the origins of high regioselectivity (1,2- vs 1,4-) and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
In the chemistry community, catalytic asymmetric synthesis of furan-based compounds bearing both axial and central chirality has proven to be a significant but challenging issue owing to the importance and difficulty in constructing such frameworks. In this work, we have realized the first catalytic asymmetric synthesis of five-five-membered furan-based compounds bearing both axial and central chirality via organocatalytic asymmetric (2+4) annulation of achiral furan-indoles with 2,3-indolyldimethanols with uncommon regioselectivity. By this strategy, furan-indole compounds bearing both axial and central chirality were synthesized in high yields with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. Moreover, theoretical calculations were conducted to provide an in-depth understanding of the reaction pathway, activation mode, and the origin of the selectivity.

Abstract
An intermolecular enantioselective N-alkylation reaction of 1H-indoles has been developed by cooperative rhodium and chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed N-H bond insertion reaction. N-Alkyl indoles with newly formed stereocenter adjacent to the indole nitrogen atom are produced in good yields (up to 95 %) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99 % ee). Importantly, both α-aryl and α-alkyl diazoacetates are tolerated, which is extremely rare in asymmetric X-H (X=N, O, S et al.) and C-H insertion reactions. With this method, only 0.1 mol % of rhodium catalyst and 2.5 mol % of chiral phosphoric acid are required to complete the conversion as well as achieve the high enantioselectivity. Computational studies reveal the cooperative relay of rhodium and chiral phosphoric acid, and the origin of the chemo and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Despite many studies on benzofuran-derived azadiene being reported, multi-component studies have scarcely been reported on this heterocyclic skeleton. The first cascade three-component acyloxylation of diazos with acids and azadienes has been reported under mild conditions. The reaction is applicable to various (A/A) diazo compounds, generating diverse complex benzofuran derivatives.

Abstract
The enantioselective aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction is one of the most straightforward and efficient strategies for constructing a new carbon-carbon bond bearing quaternary stereocenter in organic synthesis, but the catalytic asymmetric aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction of naphthols/phenols with cyclic-ketimines attached to a neutral functional group remains still relatively unexplored. Herein, a highly enantioselective aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction of cyclic-ketimines and naphthols/phenols has been realized using a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst. A variety of chiral aminonaphthols (chiral indolin-3-ones) containing a quaternary stereocenter at the C2 position were obtained with excellent outcomes (up to 97% yield, 98% ee). Moreover, the synthetic utility of the enantiomerically enriched chiral aminonaphthols was demonstrated in some efficient transformations. According to the experimental results, a possible transition state model has been proposed to rationalize the origin of asymmetric induction.

Abstract
A new organocatalytic asymmetric method for the synthesis of enantioenriched triarylmethanes is developed. Different from the conventional approaches featuring asymmetric arylation, the present study employs asymmetric reduction via C-H bond formation as the key step. This approach does not require the presence of a heteroaryl ring or the presynthesis of unstable para-quinone methides. Instead, the stable racemic triarylmethanols were used as substrates for the in situ generation of the intermediates with a suitable chiral phosphoric acid catalyst.

The nature and type of substrates are found to act as a chemical switch to trigger two distinct reaction pathways. A minor modification to the substrates allows the access to spiro-pyrazolines.

Abstract
Exploring new protocols for efficient organic synthesis is crucial for pharmaceutical developments. The present work introduces a Pd(II)/LA-catalyzed (LA: Lewis acid) decarboxylative addition reaction for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methane derivatives. The presence of Lewis acid such as Sc(OTf)3 triggered Pd(II)-catalyzed decarboxylative addition of propiolic acids with indoles to offer the bis(indolyl)methane derivatives in moderate to good yields, whereas neither Pd(II) nor Lewis acid alone was active for this synthesis. The catalytic efficiency of Pd(OAc)2 was highly dependent on the Lewis acidity of the added Lewis acid, that is, a stronger Lewis acid provided a higher yield of the bis(indolyl)methane derivatives. Meanwhile, this Pd(II)/LA-catalyzed decarboxylative addition reaction showed good tolerance toward versatile electron-rich or -deficient substituents on the indole skeleton and on the benzyl ring of propiolic acids. The studies on the in situ 1H NMR kinetics of this Pd(II)/Sc(III) catalysis disclosed the formation of a transient vinyl-Pd(II)/Sc(III) intermediate generated by the pyrrole addition to the alkynyl-Pd(II)/Sc(III) species after decarboxylation, which was scarcely observed before.

The direct regio- and enantioselective C6 functionalization of 2,3-disubstituted indoles with azadienes has been developed using chiral phosphoric acid as catalyst, providing a convenient approach to synthesize the optically active heterotriarylmethanes with excellent yields, broad substrate scope, and up to 98% ee. Mechanistic studies revealed that N-alkylation of 2,3-disubstituted indoles with azadienes would be reversible, and enantioselective C6 functionalization could be enabled.
