Abstract
Atropoisomeric chemotypes of diaryl ethers-related scaffolds are prevalent in naturally active compounds. Nevertheless, there remains considerable research to be carried out on the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of these axially chiral molecules. In this instance, we disclose an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed synthesis of axially chiral diaryl ethers via atroposelective esterification of dialdehyde-containing diaryl ethers. NHC desymmetrization produces axially chiral diaryl ether atropisomers with high yields and enantioselectivities in moderate circumstances. Chiral diaryl ether compounds may be precursors for highly functionalized diaryl ethers with bioactivity and chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
In this work, a straightforward synthesis of C3-N1' bisindolines is achieved by a formal umpolung strategy. The protocols were tolerant of a wide variety of substituents on the indole and indoline ring. In addition, the C3-N1' bisindolines could be converted to C3-N1' indole-indolines and C3-N1'-bisindoles. Also, we have successfully synthesized (±)-rivularin A through a biomimetic late-stage tribromination as a key step.

Abstract
A palladium/norbornene (NBE) cooperative catalytic system was developed to access C5-aminated indoles, starting from readily available C4-idonated indoles. Good yields and exclusive site selectivity were achieved for a broad substrate scope, including drug molecule core architectures. Control experiments found that both aldehyde on the C3 position and sulfonyl protecting group on the N1 position were vital for the transformation. Preliminary bioactivity evaluation identified a promising leading compound 3af with potent antitumor proliferative activity against several cancer cells.

Abstract
Diaryl ethers are widespread in biologically active compounds, ligands and catalysts. It is known that the diaryl ether skeleton may exhibit atropisomerism when both aryl rings are unsymmetrically substituted with bulky groups. Despite recent advances, only very few catalytic asymmetric methods have been developed to construct such axially chiral compounds. We describe herein a dynamic kinetic resolution approach to axially chiral diaryl ethers via a Brønsted acid catalyzed atroposelective transfer hydrogenation (ATH) reaction of dicarbaldehydes with anilines. The desired diaryl ethers could be obtained in moderate to good chemical yields (up to 79 %) and high enantioselectivities (up to 95 % ee) under standard reaction conditions. Such structural motifs are interesting precursors for further transformations and may have potential applications in the synthesis of chiral ligands or catalysts.

Abstract
Cobalt(III)-catalyzed allylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds has been reported with in situ generated allyl reagents from alkenes and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). This novel protocol enables a high regio- and stereoselective access for a broad range of allyl 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. In the transformation, DMSO plays the role of a C1 source, and it incorporates with alkenes to form the allyl reagent allylic methyl thioether. Moreover, a multiple-step pathway has been proposed to rationalize the mechanism study, which involves silver-mediated coupling, Co(III)-catalyzed π-allylation, and intermolecular nucleophilic substitution.

Abstract
Hydroxy-directed iridium-catalyzed enantioselective formal β-C(sp2)-H allylic alkylation of kojic acid and structurally related α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is developed. This reaction, catalyzed by an Ir(i)/(P,olefin) complex, utilizes the nucleophilic character of α-hydroxy α,β-unsaturated carbonyls, to introduce an allyl group at its β-position in a branched-selective manner in good to excellent yield with uniformly high enantioselectivity (up to >99.9 : 0.1 er). To the best of our knowledge, this report represents the first example of the use of kojic acid in a transition metal catalyzed highly enantioselective transformation.

Abstract
Solvent-promoted and -controlled regioselective bond alkylation reactions of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with N-H free-indoline and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) under metal-free conditions have been developed. In the presence of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) as the solvent, 1,6-addition alkylation reactions of p-QMs with NH-free indolines and THQs efficiently gave C5-alkylated indolines and C6-alkylated THQs. Using catalytic amounts of HFIP in DCM, the reaction of indolines and p-QMs resulted in the alkylation of indolines at the N1-position. HFIP plays two roles in the reactions: converting the indoline and THQ into bidentate nucleophiles and activating the p-QMs to achieve the 1,6-addition alkylation via hydrogen bond clusters. The indoline and THQ act as a C-nucleophile due to the H-bond clusters between HFIP and the nitrogen atom, whereas upon using catalytic amounts of HFIP, the compounds act as an N-nucleophile. All alkylation products were transformed into the corresponding indoles and quinolines via oxidation in the presence of diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD). Furthermore, the synthetic utilities have been showcased with both the removal of the tert-butyl groups from the C5-alkylated indole products and submission to their Suzuki coupling reactions.
