Abstract
Chiral phosphorus ligands play a crucial role in asymmetric catalysis for the efficient synthesis of useful optically active compounds. They are largely categorized into two classes: backbone chirality ligands and P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands. Most of the reported ligands belong to the former class. Privileged ones such as BINAP and DuPhos are frequently employed in a wide range of catalytic asymmetric transformations. In contrast, the latter class of P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands has remained a small family for many years mainly because of their synthetic difficulty. The late 1990s saw the emergence of novel P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands with their superior enantioinduction ability in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation reactions. Since then, numerous P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands have been synthesized and used in catalytic asymmetric reactions. This Review summarizes P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands reported thus far, including their stereochemical and electronic properties that afford high to excellent enantioselectivities. Examples of reactions that use this class of ligands are described together with their applications in the construction of key intermediates for the synthesis of optically active natural products and therapeutic agents. The literature covered dates back to 1968 up until December 2023, centering on studies published in the late 1990s and later years.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed selective cleavage of the distal C-C bond and proximal C-C bond of keto-vinylidenecyclopropanes by altering the sterically bulky phosphine ligands has been realized. The proximal C-C bond cleavage can be achieved by using dtbpf as a phosphine ligand, affording bicyclic products containing dihydrofuran skeletons in good yields along with broad substrate scope. In proximal C-C bond cleavage reactions, the eight-membered cyclic palladium intermediate plays a key role in the reaction. The [3 + 2] cycloaddition of keto-vinylidenecyclopropanes through the distal C-C bond cleavage can be effectively accomplished with t BuXPhos as a phosphine ligand and ZnCl2 as an additive, delivering bicyclic products containing tetrahydrofuran skeletons in good yields. The further transformation of these bicyclic products has been demonstrated, and the reaction mechanisms of two different C-C bond cleavage reactions have been investigated by control experiments and DFT calculations.

Abstract
The diversified synthesis of chiral fluorinated cyclobutane derivatives has remained a difficult task in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we present an approach for asymmetric hydroboration and formal hydrodefluorination of gem-difluorinated cyclobutenes through rhodium catalysis, providing chiral gem-difluorinated α-boryl cyclobutanes and monofluorinated cyclobutenes with excellent regio- and enantioselectivity, respectively. The key to the success of the two transformations relies on an efficient, mild and highly selective rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration with HBPin (pinacolborane), in which the subsequent addition of a base, and a catalytic amount of palladium in some cases, results in the formation of formal hydrodefluorination products with the four-membered ring retained. The obtained chiral gem-difluorinated α-boryl cyclobutanes are versatile building blocks that provide a platform for the synthesis of enantioenriched fluorinated cyclobutane derivatives to a great diversity.

Abstract
Biaryl phosphines bearing C(Ar)-C(Ar) axial chirality are commonly known and have been successfully applied in many asymmetric catalyses. Nevertheless, the development of a chiral ligand having an axially chiral C(Ar)-N backbone remains elusive due to its undesirable less restricted rotational barrier. In fact, it is highly attractive to overcome this challenge in ligand development as the incorporation of an N-donor component at the chiral axis is more favorable toward the transient metal coordination, and thus, a better outcome of stereocommunication is anticipated to the approaching substrates. Herein, we present a rational design of a new collection of chiral phosphines featuring a C-N axial chirality and their applications in enantioselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling for accessing highly steric hindered tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls (26 examples up to 98:2 er). It is worth noting that the embodied carbazolyl framework is crucial to succeed the reaction, by the fruitful steric relief of bulky substrate coordination and transmetalation via a fleeting Pd-N jumping to Pd-π fashion. DFT calculation reveals an interesting Pd-arene-walking characteristic across the carbazolyl plane for attaining a lower energy-preferred route in a catalytic cycle. The theoretical study successfully predicts the stereooutcome and matches the enantioselectivity with the experimental results.

Abstract
Chirality is a central feature in the evolution of biological systems, but the reason for biology’s strong preference for specific chiralities of amino acids, sugars, and other molecules remains a controversial and unanswered question in origins of life research. Biological polymers tend toward homochiral systems, which favor the incorporation of a single enantiomer (molecules with a specific chiral configuration) over the other. There have been numerous investigations into the processes that preferentially enrich one enantiomer to understand the evolution of an early, racemic, prebiotic organic world. Chirality can also be a property of minerals; their interaction with chiral organics is important for assessing how post-depositional alteration processes could affect the stereochemical configuration of simple and complex organic molecules. In this paper, we review the properties of organic compounds and minerals as well as the physical, chemical, and geological processes that affect organic and mineral chirality during the preservation and detection of organic compounds. We provide perspectives and discussions on the reactions and analytical techniques that can be performed in the laboratory, and comment on the state of knowledge of flight-capable technologies in current and future planetary missions, with a focus on organics analysis and life detection.

Abstract
We describe the first atropselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of β-keto enol triflates to access axially chiral (Z)-diarylmethylidene indanones (DAIs). The chemical, physical, and biological properties of DAIs are unknown, despite their being structurally similar to arylidene indanones, primarily due to the lack of racemic or chiral methods. Through this work, we demonstrate a general and efficient protocol for the racemic as well as the atropselective synthesis of (Z)-DAIs. An unusual intramolecular Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction is utilized for the Z-selective synthesis of β-keto enol triflates.

Abstract
Shibasaki's rare earth alkali metal BINOLate (REMB) framework has provided chemists with a general catalyst platform to access a range of enantioenriched small molecules from the single, commercially available pro-ligand (R)- or (S)-BINOL. A defining feature of these heterobimetallic frameworks is the high level of catalyst tunability, achieved through the simple modulation of the central rare-earth cation and peripheral alkali metal cations. While this family of multifunctional catalysts displays impressive generality and catalytic capability, detailed mechanistic understanding of these complex, multimetallic systems was lacking prior to our investigations. This backdrop served as initial inspiration for our investigations of this privileged class of complexes over the past decade, which have led to new and exciting advances in catalysis and beyond.In this Account, we describe our investigations using Shibasaki's framework focusing on the central metal-ion, the BINOLate ligands, and the secondary sphere cations. Our studies began with an investigation into the Lewis acidity of the complexes, where we demonstrated that Lewis bases readily coordinate to REMB frameworks when lithium occupies the secondary coordination sphere. This observation was contrasted by the complexes containing sodium or potassium in the secondary coordination sphere, as the rare earth cation is evidently less accessible for substrate binding. Our efforts in understanding the ligand exchange of the complexes enabled the discovery that associative processes dominate the mechanism of ligand exchange and LA/LA (Lewis acid/Lewis acid) and LA/BB (Lewis acid/Brønsted base) catalysis by the REMB frameworks. Replacing metal cations in the secondary coordination sphere with the N,N,N',N'-tetramethylguanidinium cation delivered an effective precatalyst that is air and water stable over the course of 6 months.To expand the reactivity of the REMB, we investigated the ability of UIV cations to occupy the primary coordination sphere and ZnEt+ and Cu(DBU)+ cations to occupy the secondary coordination sphere. Synthesizing the REMB complexes using the thiol congener monothioBINOL provided an unusual anionic REMB framework, driven by the oxophilicity of the lithium cations. Using the REMB as a platform for investigating the CeIII/CeIV redox couple, we demonstrated that, while oxidative cerium functionalization is observed in the case of lithium containing REMBs, salt elimination is observed in the sodium, potassium, and cesium containing REMBs. Furthermore, we found that while the rate of heterogeneous electron transfer for CeIII was ks(CsI) > ks(KI) > ks(NaI) > ks(LiI), the rates of reaction with the oxidant trityl chloride trended in the opposite order with kobs(LiI) ≫ kobs(NaI) > kobs(KI) > kobs(CsI). We attribute this to the ability to form inner-sphere complexes with the oxidant, rather than differences in redox potential or reorganization energies.Applying our knowledge in ligand exchange and redox behavior of Ce containing REMB complexes, we detailed the mechanism for oxidation of the heterochiral cerium REMB frameworks, reiterating the importance of the formation of inner-sphere complexes in the oxidation chemistry of cerium. There are many different avenues for both organic and inorganic investigation of Shibasaki's REMB framework, and our works have demonstrated the richness of the structural chemistry and properties of this framework that inform mechanism and properties of these privileged catalysts.

Abstract
Covering: 2013-2018 Natural products bearing quaternary carbon stereocenters have attracted tremendous interest from the synthetic community due to their diverse biological activities and fascinating molecular architectures. However, the construction of these molecules in an enantioselective fashion remains a long-standing challenge because of the lack of efficient asymmetric catalytic methods for installing these motifs. The rapid progress in the development of new-generation efficient chiral catalysts has opened the door for several asymmetric reactions, such as Michael addition, dearomative cyclization, polyene cyclization, α-arylation, cycloaddition, allylation, for the construction of quaternary carbon stereocenters in a highly enantioselective fashion. These asymmetric catalytic methods have greatly facilitated the synthesis of complex natural products with improved output and overall efficiency. In this concise review, we highlight the progress in the last six years in complex natural product synthesis, in which at least one quaternary carbon stereocenter has been constructed via asymmetric catalytic technologies, with particular emphasis on the analysis of the stereochemical model of each enantioselective transformation.

Abstract
The title alkaloids, often referred to collectively as crinines, are a prominent group of structurally distinct natural products with additional members being reported on a regular basis. As such, and because of their often notable biological properties, they have attracted attention as synthetic targets since the mid-1950s. Such efforts continue unabated and more recent studies on these alkaloids have focused on using them as vehicles for showcasing the utility of new synthetic methods. This review provides a comprehensive survey of the nearly seventy-year history of these synthetic endeavors.

Abstract
Over the course of the present studies, a series of optically pure phosphines functionalized by chiral aziridines was synthesized in reasonable/good chemical yields. Their catalytic activity was checked in the enantioselective Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles by β-nitrostyrene in the presence of a copper(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate benzene complex. The corresponding Friedel–Crafts products were achieved efficiently in terms of chemical yield and enantioselectivity (up to 85% in some cases).

Abstract
A powerful palladium-catalyzed dearomative cyclization was developed that provides facile access to eight types of bridged tetracyclic skeletons bearing various ring sizes and heterocycles. With this method, several skeletons or analogues of natural products, including tubingensin B and dracaenones, were synthesized. Asymmetric dearomative cyclization enables the construction of various enantiomerically enriched bridged polycyclic systems with up to 99 % ee by employing a chiral palladium catalyst.

Abstract
The axially chiral tetra-ortho-substituted biaryl skeleton exists in numerous biologically important natural products, pharmaceutical molecules, chiral catalysts, and ligands. The efficient synthesis of chiral tetra-ortho-substituted biaryl structures remains a challenging but unsolved problem. Among various asymmetric synthetic protocols, enantioselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling represents one of the most straightforward and versatile approaches. Herein we describe a powerful Suzuki-Miyaura coupling enabled by a P-chiral monophosphorus ligand BaryPhos, providing a broad range of synthetically challenging chiral tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls in excellent enantioselectivities and yields. In addition to the enhanced reactivity for sterically hindered cross-coupling, the rational design of BaryPhos also enabled a new catalysis mode of asymmetric cross-coupling involving noncovalent interactions between the ligand and two coupling partners to effect efficient stereoinduction. This protocol is robust and practical, allowing for a concise enantioselective synthesis of therapeutically valuable male contraceptive and antitumor agent gossypol.
