Abstract
We herein report the development of a novel Pd/Ni dual-catalyzed ring-opening functionalization of gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes (gem-F2CPs) with azaaryl acetates. This bimetallic catalytic strategy streamlines the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of α-quaternary 2-fluoroallylic azaaryl acetates with features of a broad scope and excellent functional group tolerance, which enables the efficient late-stage transformation of natural product-derived gem-F2CPs. The resulting α-quaternary azaaryl acetates could serve as a valuable platform to prepare other different fluoroallylic azaaryl scaffolds.

Abstract
A novel enantioselective Tsuji-Trost-type cross coupling reaction between gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes and N-unprotected amino acid esters enabled by synergistic Pd/Ni/chiral aldehyde catalysis is presented herein. This transformation streamlined the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of optically active α-quaternary α-amino acid esters bearing a linear 2-fluoroallylic motif, which served as an appealing platform for the construction of other valuable enantioenriched compounds. The key intermediates were confirmed by HRMS detection, while DFT calculations revealed that the excellent enantioselectivity was attributed to the stabilizing non-covalent interactions between the Pd(II)-π-fluoroallyl species and the Ni(II)-Schiff base complex.

Abstract
The asymmetric α-allylation of α-aryl-substituted 2-acetyl imidazoles synergistically catalyzed by Ni/Pd catalysts has been developed. In this process, the nickel-bisoxazoline complex activates the enolate of an acetyl imidazole, which then reacts with a π-allyl palladium electrophile generated from an allyl alcohol derivative by a palladium-based catalyst. A broad scope of substrates was suitable for this reaction. The utility of this method was demonstrated by a gram-scale reaction and subsequent elaboration of the allylation products.

Abstract
The conjugated addition reaction of 1-pyrroline-5-carbonitrile to α-enones was effectively catalyzed by AgF/ThioClickFerrophos (TCF) in diethyl ether in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), and nearly single diastereomers of adducts with good enantiomeric excesses (up to 97% ee) were obtained in high yields. The reduction of the nitrile group with H2/Raney Ni in ethanol successfully transformed the conjugate adduct to the corresponding spirocyclic piperidine (60% yield) as a single stereoisomer.

Abstract
We report the dual-catalytic enantioselective allylic alkylation of 2-(pyridylmethyl)amine-derived ketimines with allylic carbonates. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions to generate α-amino heteroaryl benzylamine stereocenters in good yield and enantioselectivity. Enantioselectivity is achieved through the use of a copper catalyst modified with chiral bisphosphine ligand (2S,4S)-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane.

Abstract
Quaternary stereocenters are of great importance to the three-dimensionality and enhanced properties of new molecules, but the synthetic challenges in creating quaternary stereocenters greatly hinder their wide use in drug discovery, organic material design, and natural product synthesis. The asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of allylic substrates has proven to be a powerful methodology for enantioselective formation of structure skeletons bearing single or more quaternary carbon centers in modern asymmetric organocatalysis. AAA has certain advantages in constructing the tetrasubstituted stereocenters, including but not limited to mild reactive conditions, effective reaction rates, new functional group introduction, and carbon chains length extension. This review outlines the key considerations in the application of AAA reactions and summarizes the recent progress of AAA reactions in the enantioselective synthesis of products containing quaternary stereocenters. Meanwhile, a detailed discussion of the AAA reactions such as ligands, scope of substrates, transformations and the general reaction mechanisms is also provided. We hope this review could stimulate further advances in much broader areas, including organic synthesis, asymmetric catalysis, C-H activation, and symmetrical pharmaceutical chemistry.

Abstract
An efficient synthetic methodology to access biologically important and synthetically useful α-quaternary cysteine derivatives via asymmetric catalytic α-allylation of readily available 2-thiazoline-4-carboxylates was successfully developed through a synergistic Cu/Pd catalytic system. A wide array of α-quaternary cysteine derivatives were obtained in moderate to high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities (45-98% yields and 69->99% ee). Gram-scale asymmetric allylation was performed to obtain high yields maintaining the enantioselectivity. Moreover, some synthetic transformations to access chiral spirocyclic compounds proceeded smoothly, which exhibited the important utility of this methodology.

Abstract
The chiral oxazoline motif is present in many ligands that have been extensively applied in a series of important metal-catalyzed enantioselective reactions. This Review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the most significant applications of oxazoline-containing ligands reported in the literature starting from 2009 until the end of 2018. The ligands are classified not by the reaction to which their metal complexes have been applied but by the nature of the denticity, chirality, and donor atoms involved. As a result, the continued development of ligand architectural design from mono(oxazolines), to bis(oxazolines), to tris(oxazolines) and tetra(oxazolines) and variations thereof can be more easily monitored by the reader. In addition, the key transition states of selected asymmetric transformations will be given to illustrate the features that give rise to high levels of asymmetric induction. As a further aid to the reader, we summarize the majority of schemes with representative examples that highlight the variation in % yields and % ees for carefully selected substrates. This Review should be of particular interest to the experts in the field but also serve as a useful starting point to new researchers in this area. It is hoped that this Review will stimulate both the development/design of new ligands and their applications in novel metal-catalyzed asymmetric transformations.

Herein, a highly regio-, enantio-, and diastereoselective allylic alkylation of 3-alkyl oxindoles through synergistic iridium and copper catalysis is described, which provides a series of 3,3-disubstituted oxindole derivatives containing adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers in excellent yields, enantiomeric excess, and diastereomeric ratio (for 30 examples, up to 97 % yield, >99 % ee, and >20 : 1 dr). This method provides exclusive branched selectivity, excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities, and good functional compatibility. Control experiments suggested that the chiral copper catalyst is required for achieving high reactivities and diastereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
Optically active nitrogen-containing compounds have attracted substantial attention due to their ubiquity in the cores of natural products and bioactive molecules. Among the various synthetic approaches to nitrogenous frameworks, catalytic asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions are one of the most attractive methods because of their powerful ability to rapidly construct various chiral N-heterocycles. In particular, N-metallated azomethine ylides, common and readily available 1,3-dipoles, have been extensively applied in dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Despite the fact that asymmetric transformations of azomethine ylides have been investigated for decades, most of the efforts have been directed toward the preparation of pyrrolidines using glycinate-derived α-unsubstituted aldimine esters as the precursors of the azomethine ylides. While α-substituted azomethine ylides derived from amino esters other than glycinate have seldom been harnessed, the construction of non-five-membered chiral N-heterocycles via 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions remains underexplored. In addition, the asymmetric α-functionalization of aldimine esters to prepare acyclic nitrogenous compounds such as α-amino acids, in which an in situ-generated N-metallated azomethine ylide serves as the nucleophile, has not been sufficiently described.In this Account, we mainly discuss the achievements we have made in the past decade toward broadening the applications of N-metallated azomethine ylides for the preparation of nitrogen-containing compounds. We began our investigation with the design and synthesis of a new type of chiral ligand, TF-BiphamPhos, which not only coordinates with Lewis acids to activate dipolar species but also serves as an H-bond donor to increase the reactivity of dipolarophiles with significantly enhanced stereochemical control. Using the Cu(I) or Ag(I)/TF-BiphamPhos complex as the catalyst, we achieved highly stereoselective (3+2) cycloadditions of glycinate and non-glycinate-derived azomethine ylides with diverse dipolarophiles, producing a variety of enantioenriched pyrrolidines with multiple stereocenters in a single step. To further expand the synthetic utility of N-metallated azomethine ylides, we successfully developed higher order cycloadditions with fulvenes, tropone, 2-acyl cycloheptatrienes, and pyrazolidinium ylides serving as the reaction partner, and this reaction provides straightforward access to enantioenriched fused piperidines, bridged azabicyclic frameworks, and triazines via (3+6)- and (3+3)-type cycloadditions. Using N-metallated azomethine ylides as the nucleophile, we realized Cu(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-Michael additions with α,β-unsaturated bisphosphates/Morita-Baylis-Hillman products, furnishing an array of structurally diverse unnatural α-amino acids. Based on the strategy of synergistic activation, we achieved highly efficient dual Cu/Pd and Cu/Ir catalysis for the α-functionalization of aldimine esters via the asymmetric allylic/allenylic alkylation of N-metallated azomethine ylides. Notably, Cu/Ir catalysis allowed the stereodivergent synthesis of α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids via a branched allylic alkylation reaction, in which the two distinct chiral metal catalysts independently have full stereochemical control over the corresponding nucleophile and electrophile. Furthermore, an expedient and stereodivergent preparation of biologically important tetrahydro-γ-carbolines was realized through a Cu/Ir-catalyzed cascade allylation/iso-Pictet-Spengler cyclization. In addition, when the steric congestion in the allylation intermediates was increased, the combined Cu/Ir catalysts provided an asymmetric cascade allylation/2-aza-Cope rearrangement, producing various optically active homoallylic amines with impressive results.

Abstract
Cα-Tetrasubstituted α-amino acids are ubiquitous and unique structural units in bioactive natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. The asymmetric synthesis of these molecules has attracted a lot of attention, but a more efficient method is still greatly desired. Here we describe the first sequential four-step acylation reaction for the efficient synthesis of chiral Cα-tetrasubstituted α-amino acid derivatives from simple N-acylated amino acids via an auto-tandem catalysis using a single nucleophilic catalyst. The synthetic efficiency is improved via a direct enantioselective C-acylation; the methodology affords the corresponding Cα-tetrasubstituted α-amino acid derivatives with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). This step-economic, one-pot, and auto-tandem strategy provides facile access to important chiral building blocks, such as peptides, serines, and oxazolines, which are often used in medicinal and synthetic chemistry. The first four-step sequential reaction for the synthesis of Cα-tetrasubstituted chiral α-amino acid derivatives via auto-tandem catalysis has been developed.![]()
