Abstract
A highly enantioselective Pd/Bim-catalyzed dearomative Michael reaction applying polycyclic tropones as non-benzenoid aromatic Michael acceptors and arylboronic acids as aryl pronucleophiles has been developed. The bridged biaryls bearing central and axial chirality, including pentacyclic cyclohepta[b]indoles and 6,7-dihydrodibenzo[a,c][7]annulen-5-ones, are generally generated in good to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities and can be readily transformed into useful derivatives.

Abstract
Axially chiral molecular scaffolds are widely found in pharmaceutical molecules, functionalized materials, and chiral ligands. The synthesis of these compounds has garnered considerable interest from both academia and industry. The construction of such molecules, enabled by transition metal catalysis and organocatalysis under thermodynamic conditions, has been extensively studied and well-reviewed. In recent years, photoinduced enantioselective reactions have emerged as powerful methods for the catalytic construction of axial chirality. In this review, we provide an overview of various synthetic strategies for the photoinduced construction of axial chirality, with a specific focus on reaction design and catalytic mechanisms. Additionally, we discuss the limitations of current methods and highlight future directions in this field.

Abstract
Stereodivergent engineering of one enzyme to create stereocomplementary variants for synthesizing optically pure molecules with tailor-made (R) or (S) configurations on an optional basis is highly desirable and challenging. This study aimed to engineer fatty acid photodecarboxylase from Chlorella variabilis (CvFAP) using the focused rational iterative site-specific mutagenesis (FRISM) strategy to obtain two highly stereocomplementary variants with excellent selectivity (both giving products with up to 99 % e.e.). These variants were used for the CvFAP-catalyzed light-driven kinetic resolution of oxalates or oxamic acids prepared from the corresponding sec-alcohols or amines, providing a new biotransformation process for preparing chiral sec-alcohols and amines. Molecular dynamics simulation, kinetic data and transient spectra revealed the source of selectivity. This study represents the first example of the kinetic resolution of sec-alcohols or amines catalyzed by a pair of stereocomplementary CvFAPs.

Abstract
We have developed a straightforward and rapid methodology for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted allenes bearing carboxylic acids in the 1,3-position through the gold(I)-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of bis(trimethylsilyl)ketene acetals to ynones. The reaction was evaluated with several substrates, and 21 allenes were obtained in moderate to good yields. Using DFT calculations, we studied the mechanism of the reaction, which suggested a nucleophilic 1,4-addition pathway. The potential of allenes to act as a source of highly functionalized lactones was also explored.

Abstract
Axially chiral styrenes, a type of atropisomer analogous to biaryls, have attracted great interest because of their unique presence in natural products and asymmetric catalysis. Since 2016, a number of methodologies have been developed for the atroposelective construction of these chiral skeletons, involving both transition metal catalysis and organocatalysis. In this feature article, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of recent advances in the asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral styrenes catalyzed by transition metals, integrating scattered work with different catalytic systems together. This feature article is cataloged into five sections according to the strategies, including asymmetric coupling, enantioselective C-H activation, central-to-axial chirality transfer, asymmetric alkyne functionalization, and atroposelective [2+2+2] cycloaddition.

Abstract
A metal-free protocol for the direct construction of C(sp2)-N and C-O bonds via a PhI(OAc)2-mediated dehydrogenative aminoacyloxylation of β,γ-unsaturated hydrazones with Togni reagent II is reported. Initiated by the carboxyl-containing species generated in situ from Togni reagent II, this method offers a new solution for regioselective functionalization at a remote site on β,γ-unsaturated hydrazones, thus providing a straightforward method for the synthesis of acyloxyl-substituted pyridazines. This reaction features a broad substrate scope and mild conditions.

Herein we report an iridium(I)-catalyzed atroposelective alkenylation of isoquinoline-derived heterobiaryls with terminal alkynes. In the presence of a cationic iridium(I) catalyst with (R)-SEGPHOS as the chiral ligand, this atom-economical alkenylation protocol allows the rapid construction of a series of axially chiral alkenylated heterobiaryls in moderate to good yields with good to high enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Enantioselective metallaphotoredox catalysis, which combines photoredox catalysis and asymmetric transition-metal catalysis, has become an effective approach to achieve stereoconvergence under mild conditions. Although many impressive synthetic approaches have been developed to access central chirality, the construction of axial chirality by metallaphotoredox catalysis still remains underexplored. Herein, we report two visible light-induced cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric reductive couplings of biaryl dialdehydes to synthesize axially chiral aldehydes (60 examples, up to 98% yield, >19:1 dr, and >99% ee). This protocol shows good functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope, and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
A three-component 1,2-aminooxygenation reaction of 1,3-dienes by dual photoredox and copper catalysis is described. This protocol uses N-aminopyridinium salts as N-centered radical precursors and nucleophilic alcohols as oxygen sources, providing modular and practical access to 1,2-aminoalkoxylation products with good yields and regioselectivity. Preliminary mechanistic studies support the radical property of the reaction and the involvement of N-centered radical intermediates.
