Abstract
The significance of chiral α-tertiary amines in medicinal chemistry and drug development has been unquestionably established in the last few decades. α-Tertiary amines are attractive structural motifs for natural products, bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals and are preclinical candidates. Their syntheses have been the focus of intensive research, and the development of new methods has continued to attract more and more attention. In this review, we present the progress in the last decade in the development of synthetic methods for the assembly of chiral ATAs via transition-metal catalysis. To date, the effective approaches in this area could be categorized into three strategies: enantioselective direct and indirect Mannich addition to ketimines; umpolung asymmetric alkylation of imine derivatives; and asymmetric C-N cross-coupling of tertiary alkyl electrophiles. Several related developing strategies for the synthesis of ATAs, such as hydroamination of alkenes, HAT amination approaches and the C-C coupling of α-aminoalkyl fragments, are also described in this article. These strategies have emerged as attractive C-C and C-N bond-forming protocols for enantioselective construction of chiral α-tertiary amines, and to some extent are complementary to each other, showing the prospect of application in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.

Abstract
An asymmetric allylic alkylation/Cope rearrangement (AAA/[3,3]) capable of stereoselectively constructing vicinal stereocenters has been developed. Strategically integrated 4-methylation on the 3,3-dicyano-1,5-diene controls stereoselectivity and drives Cope rearrangement equilibrium in the forward direction. The AAA/[3,3] sequence rapidly converts abundant achiral and racemic starting materials into valuable (hetero)cycloalkane building blocks bearing significant functional and stereochemical complexity, highlighting the value of (hetero)cyclohexylidenemalononitriles as launching points for complex heterocycle synthesis. On this line, the resulting alkylidenemalononitrile moiety can be readily converted into amides via Hayashi-Lear amidation to ultimately yield amido-piperidines, tropanes, and related scaffolds with 3-5 stereocenters and drug-like functionality.

Abstract
Asymmetric sigmatropic rearrangement is a powerful organic transformation via substrate-reorganization to efficiently increase molecular complexity from readily accessible starting materials. In particular, a high level of diastereo- and enantioselectivity can be readily accessed through well-defined and predictable transition states in [3,3], [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements, which have been widely applied in the synthesis of various chiral building blocks, natural products, and pharmaceuticals. In recent years, catalytic asymmetric sigmatropic rearrangements involving chiral metal complexes to induce stereocontrol have been intensively studied. This review presents an overview of metal-catalysed enantioselective versions of sigmatropic rearrangements in the past two decades, mainly focusing on [3,3], [2,3], and [1,3]-rearrangements, to show the development of substrate design, new catalyst exploitation, and novel cascade processes. In addition, their application in the asymmetric synthesis of complex natural products is also exemplified.

Abstract
Carbon–carbon bond formation by [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement is a fundamental and powerful method that has been used to build organic molecules for a long time. Initially, Claisen and Cope rearrangements proceeded at high temperatures with limited scopes. By introducing catalytic systems, highly functionalized substrates have become accessible for forming complex structures under mild conditions, and asymmetric synthesis can be achieved by using chiral catalytic systems. This review describes recent breakthroughs in catalytic [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements since 2016. Detailed reaction mechanisms are discussed to enable an understanding of the reactivity and selectivity of the reactions. Finally, this review is inspires the development of new cascade reaction pathways employing catalytic [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement as related methodologies for the synthesis of complex functional molecules.

Abstract
Aza-Cope rearrangement, as one of the fundamental reactions for C-C and C-N bond formation, has been extensively utilized for the rapid construction of synthetically challenging organic molecules. Despite significant achievements having been made in the past 80 years, catalytic enantioselective versions still remain a challenge, mainly due to the inherent nature of the reversibility of aza-Cope rearrangement. Recently, owing to the intensive development of asymmetric catalysis strategies, various chiral organocatalysts and transition-metal catalysts have been successfully applied to control the stereoselectivity of aza-Cope rearrangement, and remarkable advances have been achieved. This review highlights recent progress relating to catalytic asymmetric aza-Cope rearrangement and covers important features of these studies, including catalytic system design, mechanistic insights, stereochemistry analysis, and synthetic applications.

Abstract
The copper-catalyzed highly selective protoboration of CF3 -containing conjugated diene with proton source and B2 Pin2 has been developed. This chemistry could suppress the well-known defluorination and provide borated reagents with an intact CF3 -group. Further studies indicated that the functional group tolerance of this chemistry is very well, and the products could be used as versatile precursors for different types of transformations. Importantly, using chiral diphosphine ligand, we have developed the first example for using such starting material to synthesis allylic boron-reagents which bearing a CF3 -containing chiral center. Notably, the reaction mechanism was intensively studied by DFT calculations, which could reveal the reason that defluorination was inhibited.

An array of 3-amino 3-allyl oxindoles incorporating diversified functional groups were prepared in good yields with exclusive diastereoselectivities. Further investigation demonstrated that the current method could also be extended to cascade umpolung allenylation/acetalation.

Abstract
Metal-hydride-catalyzed hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes with enolizable carbonyl compounds is an atom- and step-economical method for preparing chiral molecules with allylic stereocenters. Although high diastereo- and enantioselectivities have been achieved for many coupling partners, aldehydes have not yet been used for this purpose because they are less stable than other carbonyl compounds under basic conditions and they have the potential to rapidly epimerize at the α-position. Moreover, stereodivergent hydroalkylation reactions of 1,3-dienes to access complementary diastereomers with vicinal stereocenters is challenging. Herein, we describe a synergistic palladium/amine catalyst system that allowed us to achieve the first stereodivergent hydroalkylation reactions of 1,3-dienes with aldehydes. By choosing an appropriate combination of chiral palladium and amine catalysts, we could obtain either syn or anti coupling products, and this method therefore provides highly diastereo- and enantioselective access to complementary diastereomers of chiral aldehydes with α,β-vicinal stereocenters. Density functional theory calculations revealed a mechanism involving PdH formation and migratory insertion into the alkene, followed by C-C bond formation. The origin of the stereoselectivities was investigated by means of distortion/interaction analysis.

Abstract
The catalytic enantioselective ketimine Mannich and its related reactions provide direct access to chiral building blocks bearing an α-tertiary amine stereogenic center, a ubiquitous structural motif in nature. Although ketimines are often viewed as challenging electrophiles, various approaches/strategies to circumvent or overcome the adverse properties of ketimines have been developed for these transformations. This review showcases the selected examples that highlight the benefits and utilities of various ketimines and remaining challenges associated with them in the context of Mannich, allylation, and aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions as well as their variants.

Abstract
The imine umpolung is a relatively new and interesting strategy, especially in catalytic asymmetric synthesis. A significant development in organo- and transition metal-catalyzed umpolung of imines took place only in the recently concluded decade. A majority of the reports on the asymmetric umpolung of imines involve the initial generation of 2-azaallyl anion intermediates with the chiral catalysts, which serve as a significant driving force for the umpolung addition/substitution reactions. A variety of organocatalysts such as bifunctional cinchona alkaloids including squaramides and thioureas, chiral BINOL derived phosphoric acids, phase transfer catalysts (PTCs), phosphines, and transition metal-complexes of iridium, copper and palladium have been employed to achieve the excellent level of asymmetric induction in such types of umpolung reactions. The asymmetric imine umpolung strategy has been applied successfully to synthesize synthetic amino-acid derivatives and other useful chiral amines, including drugs and potentially bioactive molecules. This review summarizes all the significant recent development in catalytic umpolung reactions of imines involving a 2-azaallyl anion intermediate.

Abstract
We report a one-step catalytic, enantioselective method for the preparation of homoallylic N-Boc amines directly from acetals. Reactive iminium ion intermediates are generated in situ through the combination of an acetal, a chiral thiourea catalyst, trialkylsilyl triflate, and N-Boc carbamate and are subsequently trapped by a variety of allylsilane nucleophiles. No homoallylic ether byproducts are detected, consistent with allylation of the iminium intermediate being highly favored over allylation of the intermediate oxocarbenium ion. Acetals derived from aromatic aldehydes possessing a variety of functional groups and substitution patterns yield homoallylic amines with excellent levels of enantiomeric enrichment. Experimental and computational data are consistent with an anchoring hydrogen-bond interaction between the protioiminium ion and the amide of the catalyst in the enantiodetermining transition state, and with stereodifferentiation achieved through specific noncovalent interactions (NCIs) with the catalyst pyrenyl moiety. Evidence is provided that the key NCI in the major pathway is a π-stacking interaction, contrasting with the cation-π interactions invoked in previously studied reactions promoted by the same family of aryl-pyrrolidino-H-bond-donor catalysts.

Abstract
The exploitation of the α-trifluoromethylamino group as an amide surrogate in peptidomimetics and drug candidates has been on the rise. In a large number of these cases, this moiety bears stereochemistry with the stereochemical identity having important consequences on numerous molecular properties, such as the potency of the compound. Yet, the majority of stereoselective syntheses of α-CF3 amines rely on diastereoselective couplings with chiral reagents. Concurrent with the rapid expansion of fluorine into pharmaceuticals has been the development of catalytic enantioselective means of preparing α-trifluoromethyl amines. In this work, we outline the strategies that have been employed for accessing these enantioenriched amines, including normal polarity approaches and several recent developments in imine umpolung transformations.

Abstract
In this study, we developed an efficient Ir-catalyzed cascade umpolung allylation/2-aza-Cope rearrangement of tertiary α-trifluoromethyl α-amino acid derivatives for the preparation of a variety of quaternary α-trifluoromethyl α-amino acids in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The umpolung reactivity empowered by the activation of the key isatin-ketoimine moiety obviates the intractable enantioselectivity control in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric linear α-allylation. In combination with quasi parallel kinetic resolution or kinetic resolution, the generality of this method is further demonstrated by the first preparation of enantioenriched quaternary trifluoromethyl β-, γ-, δ- and ε-amino acid derivatives.

Abstract
A copper-based complex that contains a sulfonate N-heterocyclic carbene ligand was first reported 15 years ago. Since then, these organometallic entities have proven to be uniquely effective in catalyzing an assortment of enantioselective transformations, including allylic substitutions, conjugate additions, proto-boryl additions to alkenes, boryl and silyl substitutions, hydride-allyl additions to alkenyl boronates, and additions of boron-containing allyl moieties to N-H ketimines. In this review article, we detail the shortcomings in the state-of-the-art that fueled the development of this air stable ligand class, members of which can be prepared on multigram scale. For each reaction type, when relevant, the prior art at the time of the advance involving sulfonate NHC-Cu catalysts and/or subsequent key developments are briefly analyzed, and the relevance of the advance to efficient and enantioselective total or formal synthesis of biologically active molecules is underscored. Mechanistic analysis of the structural attributes of sulfonate NHC-Cu catalysts that are responsible for their ability to facilitate transformations with high efficiency as well as regio- and enantioselectivity are detailed. This review contains several formerly undisclosed methodological advances and mechanistic analyses, the latter of which constitute a revision of previously reported proposals.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylation of N-fluorenyl trifluoromethyl imine with allylic acetates is disclosed. This method provides scalable and efficient access to polysubstituted chiral α-trifluoromethyl amines bearing two adjacent stereocenters and one allyl group in high yields with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. Importantly, this method also provides a powerful strategy for the synthesis of both regioisomeric products and the regioselectivity is controlled by the chiral catalysts and optically active substrates.

Abstract
A method for catalytic regio- and enantioselective synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted and aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkenyl-, and alkynyl-substituted homoallylic α-tertiary NH2 -amines is introduced. Easy-to-synthesize and robust N-silyl ketimines are converted to NH-ketimines in situ, which then react with a Z-allyl boronate. Transformations are promoted by a readily accessible l-threonine-derived aminophenol-based boryl catalyst, affording the desired products in up to 91 % yield, >98:2 α:γ selectivity, >98:2 Z:E selectivity, and >99:1 enantiomeric ratio. A commercially available aminophenol may be used, and allyl boronates, which may contain an alkyl-, a chloro-, or a bromo-substituted Z-alkene, can either be purchased or prepared by catalytic stereoretentive cross-metathesis. What is more, Z-trisubstituted allyl boronates may be used. Various chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselective transformations of the α-tertiary homoallylic NH2 -amine products highlight the utility of the approach; this includes diastereo- and regioselective epoxide formation/trichloroacetic acid cleavage to generate differentiated diol derivatives.

Abstract
We describe a strategy for the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of homoallylic α-trifluoromethyl amines by the catalytic hydroalkylation of terminal dienes. Trifluoromethyl-substituted isatin-derived azadienolate nucleophiles undergo γ-selective alkylation with a Pd-DTBM-SEGPHOS catalyst, which additionally promotes regioselective addition to the diene and delivers products in up to 86% yield, 10:1 dr, and 97.5:2.5 er.
