Abstract
Herein, we describe the convergent enantioselective total synthesis of himalensine A in 18 steps, enabled by a highly enantio- and diastereoselective construction of the morphan core via a palladium/hydroxy proline co-catalyzed desymmetrization of vinyl-bromide-tethered cyclohexanones. The reaction pathway was illuminated by density functional theory calculations, which support an intramolecular Heck reaction of an in situ-generated enamine intermediate, where exquisite enantioselectivity arises from intramolecular carboxylate coordination to the vinyl palladium species in the rate- and enantio-determining carbopalladation steps. The reaction tolerates diverse N-derivatives, all-carbon quaternary centers, and trisubstituted olefins, providing access to molecular scaffolds found in a range of complex natural products. Following large-scale preparation of a key substrate and installation of a β-substituted enone moiety, the rapid construction of himalensine A was achieved using a highly convergent strategy based on an amide coupling/Michael addition/allylation/ring-closing metathesis sequence which allowed the introduction of three of the five rings in only three synthetic steps (after telescoping). Moreover, our strategy provides a new enantioselective access to a known tetracyclic late-stage intermediate that has been used previously in the synthesis of many Daphniphyllum alkaloids.

Abstract
Asymmetric oxidative desymmetrization of 2-substituted glycerols has been achieved by using a new chiral bisoxazoline ligand/copper catalyst system with 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin and MeOH. The present transformation smoothly proceeds with readily accessible 2-(hetero)aryl- and alkyl-substituted glycerols and provides straightforward access toward various glycerate derivatives in good to high yields with high enantioselectivities. The synthetic utility of the present protocol was demonstrated by the transformation of the optically active glycerol into a glyceraldehyde derivative.

Abstract
Herein we report an enantioselective method for the rapid construction of chiral 3-nitro-4-chromanones via a chiral thiourea-catalyzed intramolecular Michael-type cyclization reaction. With this method, a series of 3,3-disubstituted-3-nitro-4-chromanones bearing contiguous C2/C3 stereocenters were obtained with high diastereoselectivities and good to excellent enantioselectivities. In vitro biological evaluations indicated that the chiral amide derivative of the product showed more potent antitumor activities than both the racemic and the corresponding enantiomers, showcasing the high influence of enantioselective methodology development toward medicinal studies.

NHC-Catalyzed intramolecular benzoin condensation-oxidation is developed for the expedient synthesis of diverse cyclic 1,2-diketones incorporated in dibenzo-fused seven-membered heterocycles in good to excellent yields, under ambient conditions.

Abstract
The construction of enantioenriched azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-6-one heterocycles via an enantioselective desymmetrization of allene-linked cyclohexanones, enabled through a dual catalytic system, that provides synchronous activation of the cyclohexanone with a chiral prolinamide and the allene with a copper(i) co-catalyst to deliver the stereodefined bicyclic core, is described. Successful application to oxygen analogues was also achieved, thereby providing a new enantioselective synthetic entry to architecturally complex bicyclic ethereal frameworks. The mechanistic pathway and the origin of enantio- and diastereoselectivities has been uncovered using density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
Attempts were made to minimize the amounts of catalyst and solvent in the NHC-catalyzed benzoin reactions of solid aldehydes. In some case, solid-to-solid conversions proceeded in the solvent-free NHC-catalyzed benzoin reactions. Even if a mixture of the substrate, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor, and inorganic base was initially a powdery solid, the reaction did proceed at reaction temperature lower than the melting points of each compound. The solid mixture partially melted or became a slurry or suspension in the meantime. We call this solid/liquid mixture a semisolid state. The reaction giving an optically active product was faster than that giving a racemic mixture of the same product. Melting-point depression was observed for a series of mixtures of the substrate and product in different substrate/product ratios. Solvent-free solid-to-solid conversions were accelerated by the formation of a semisolid state resulting from the melting-point depression of the solid substrate accompanied by the product formation. In the case of solid substrates with high melting points, melting-point depression was useless, and the addition of a small amount of solvent was needed. The first total synthesis of isodarparvinol B was achieved via the NHC-catalyzed intramolecular benzoin reaction using a small amount of solvent as an additive.

An unprecedented enantioselective dissymmetric 1,4- and 1,2-addition of malononitrile to a keto-bisenone followed by an oxa-Michael addition cascade to trap the in situ generated unstable tertiary alcohol have been developed. The quinine-derived amino-squaramide bifunctional organocatalyst worked efficiently and provides the oxa-spiro-[4,4]-nonanes in good yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 99:1 dr and 99% ee). Notably, a complete chemoselective addition of a methylene unit to an aliphatic-tethered enone over the aromatic-tethered enone was observed.

Abstract
The unprecedented desymmetrization of prochiral dialdehydes catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes under oxidative conditions was applied to the highly enantioselective synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs) starting from 3,5-dicarbaldehyde substrates. Synthetic elaboration of the resulting 5-formyl-1,4-DHP-3-carboxylates allowed for access to the class of pharmaceutically relevant 1,4-DHP-3,5-dicarboxylates (Hantzsch esters). DFT calculations suggested that the enantioselectivity of the process is determined by the transition state involving the oxidation of the Breslow intermediate by the external quinone oxidant.

Abstract
Chiral β-ketoesters bearing fully substituted carbon centers are important building blocks in organic synthesis. Mono-substituted ketoesters have been widely used to synthesize the above compounds through asymmetric additions or substitutions. The limitations of these protocols mainly exist in the substrate scopes, and α-methyl or α-fluoro-substituted β-ketoesters or acetyl acetates are frequently used owing to their relatively higher reactivity. To break through this limitation, we employed N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed kinetic resolution to achieve the access to enantioenriched β-ketoesters with quaternary stereocenters. Sterically more bulky groups such as benzyl, allyl, phenyl and cyclopropyl groups are all tolerated using this method.

Abstract
Organocatalytic kinetic resolution of 1,3-diketones with central quaternary stereocenters was achieved for the first time. The resolution proceeds via two basic modes, and the inherent principles between the different combinations of ketone groups and the resolution patterns were also disclosed.

Abstract
Racemic mixtures of four stereoisomers are easily formed via many fundamental organic transformations, but the direct utilities of these mixtures have been less studied and remain large challenges to date. In this work, we introduce a new method, i.e., divergent dynamic kinetic resolution, to achieve the separation of racemic mixtures of four stereoisomers. The hypothesis was proved by using a N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed benzoin reaction, which afforded two separable diastereomeric products bearing three consecutive stereocenters with good to excellent enantioselectivties. We believe that this resolution protocol will find applications in more transformations.

Abstract
The last couple of decades have witnessed tremendous development within N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis. NHCs have been used as powerful organic catalysts in asymmetric synthesis. Although great achievements have been made in asymmetric NHC catalysis, their applications in kinetic resolution (KR), dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR), and desymmetrization processes have been relatively less developed. Moreover, limited activation modes have been involved in these processes. This review provides an overview of the NHC-organocatalyzed KR, DKR, and desymmetrization reactions in the preparation of chiral functional molecules. The aim is to highlight both the importance and elegance of these methods in the construction of challenging chiral compounds and to provide our own perspective on future development in this direction.
