Abstract
The asymmetric ring-opening reaction of 3,3-substituted oxetanes catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) derived from a newly developed SPHENOL (2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spirobi[phenalene]-9,9'-diol) framework was investigated by performing density functional calculations. The plausible transition states were traced by considering the oxetane activation mode. The energy profiles obtained for various substrates provide a rational understanding of the reaction at the atomic level. The truncation models help to attribute the reaction initiation and origin of enantioselectivity to three types of noncovalent interactions between the catalyst and the substrate. The Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), Noncovalent Interactions (NCI) Plots, and Wiberg Bond Index (WBI) provide conclusive evidence of the origin of stereoselectivity for the intramolecular desymmetrization of the five substrates considered here. The current study establishes that the SPHENOL-derived CPA catalyst forges enantioselective desymmetrization of 3,3-substituted oxetanes with higher enantiomeric excess in comparison to previously known SPINOL- and BINOL-derived CPA catalysts.

Abstract
New chiral targets of orientational chirality have been designed and asymmetrically synthesized by taking advantage of N-sulfinyl imine-directed nucleophilic addition/oxidation, Suzuki-Miyaura, and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. Orientation of single isomers has been selectively controlled by using aryl/alkynyl levers [C(sp2)-C(sp) axis] and tBuSO2- protecting group on nitrogen as proven by X-ray diffraction analysis. The key structural characteristic of resulting orientational products is shown by remote through-space blocking manner. Seventeen examples of multi-step synthesis were obtained with modest to good chemical yields and complete orientational selectivity.

Abstract
In this study, the design and asymmetric synthesis of a series of chiral targets of orientational chirality were conducted by taking advantage of N-sulfinylimine-assisted nucleophilic addition and modified Sonogashira catalytic coupling systems. Orientational isomers were controlled completely using alkynyl/alkynyl levers [C(sp)-C(sp) axis] with absolute configuration assignment determined by X-ray structural analysis. The key structural element of the resulting orientational chirality is uniquely characterized by remote through-space blocking. Forty examples of multi-step synthesis were performed, with modest to good yields and excellent orientational selectivity. Several chiral orientational amino targets are attached with scaffolds of natural and medicinal products, showing potential pharmaceutical and medical applications in the future.

Abstract
A Lewis acid-catalyzed tandem reaction strategy for the construction of a dihydrophenalene-lactone tetracyclic skeleton has been disclosed. Starting with 2-naphthol-tethered ketones and active methylene esters, the tandem reaction catalyzed by Sc(OTf)3 proceeded well to afford an array of dihydrophenalene-fused lactones with moderate to high efficiency and diastereoselectivity. Moreover, the synthetic utility of this protocol was demonstrated by easy gram-scale preparation and diverse product transformations.

Abstract
We report two new circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-active lanthanide complexes emissive in the near-infrared (NIR) region; using sphenol as a supporting ligand, we provide the first reported example of an NIR-emissive lanthanide complex supported by a chiral spirane. Inclusion of a quaternary carbon to impart axial chirality results in dramatic augmentation of the CPL strength of the resultant sphenolate complexes (glum ≤ 0.77 for [(sphenol)3ErNa3(thf)6]) compared to that of their contemporary biaryl-based axially chiral analogues (glum ≤ 0.47 for [(binol)3ErNa3(thf)6]). Despite similar structural parameters, the rigid spiro carbon of sphenol enables the strongest dissymmetry factors observed to date from Shibasaki-type complexes for both Yb and Er. We also demonstrate the sensitivity of the reported chiroptical measurements to small variations in instrumental parameters, such as bandpass, and suggest a standardized method or at least that additional detail should be included in future reports to allow for direct comparisons between newly published CPL emitters.

Abstract
Herein we have developed a highly practical and efficient one-step coupling protocol for the synthesis of chiral spiro diphosphine ligands, especially for the oxa-spiro diphosphine ligands O-SDP, which showed excellent reactivity and diastereoselectivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of a key intermediate of Sacubitril. It should be noted that the one-step coupling protocol could be operated on a kilogram scale, and the resulting ruthenium catalyst of O-SDP could hydrogenate the key intermediate of Sacubitril on an industrial scale.

Abstract
An extremely concise, scalable, and stereoselective synthesis of a privileged chiral skeleton based on 2,2'-biindolyl and commercially available chiral building blocks has been developed. This novel skeleton allows for easy access to a range of bisphosphine ligands (decagram scale, up to 58% total yield, only three steps). The synthetic method is characterized by an efficient central-to-axial chirality transfer strategy. In particular, the superior performance of the ligands has been demonstrated in diverse reactions, including several asymmetric hydrogenations, asymmetric conjugate reductions, and cycloisomerization reactions, indicating a great potential for the application of the newly developed chiral backbones in further modifications and exploration of novel chiral ligands and catalysts.

Abstract
An axially chiral styrene-based organocatalyst, featuring a combination of axially chiral styrene-based structure and a pyrrole ring, has been designed and synthesized. This catalyst demonstrates remarkable capabilities in producing a wide range of densely substituted spirooxindoles that feature an alkyne-substituted quaternary stereogenic center. These spirooxindoles are generated through mild cascade Michael/cyclization reactions, resulting in high conversion rates and exceptional enantioselectivity. Our catalytic model, based on experiments, X-ray structure analysis and DFT calculations suggests that chiral matched π-π interactions and multiple H-bonds between the organocatalyst and substrates play significant roles in controlling the stereoselectivity of the reaction.

Abstract
Quinone methides are well-established intermediates in asymmetric synthesis. In contrast, their extended analogues with the carbonyl and methide units distributed across two different rings have not been exploited in asymmetric synthesis. Herein, we achieved the first asymmetric process involving such intermediates. Specifically, the use of suitable chiral phosphoric acids enabled in situ generation of 2-naphthoquinone 8-methides and the corresponding aza counterparts for mild one-pot asymmetric nucleophilic addition. These processes provided rapid access to a wide range of previously less accessible remotely chiral naphthols and naphthylamines with both high efficiency and excellent enantioselectivity. Control experiment and DFT calculations provided important insights into the reaction mechanism, which likely involves two phosphoric acid molecules in the enantiodetermining transition states. This work serves as a proof of concept for the exploitation of new types of extended quinone methides as versatile intermediates for asymmetric synthesis, thus providing a new platform for the efficient construction of remote benzylic stereogenic centers of aromatic compounds.

Abstract
Quinone methides are fundamental intermediates for a wide range of reactions in which catalyst stereocontrol is often achieved by hydrogen bonding. Herein, we describe the feasibility of an intramolecular Friedel–Crafts 6π electrocyclization through ortho‐quinone methide iminiums stereocontrolled by a contact ion pair. A disulfonimide catalyst activates racemic trichloroacetimidate substrates and imparts stereocontrol in the cyclization step, providing a new avenue for selective ortho‐quinone methide iminium functionalization. A highly stereospecific oxidation readily transforms the enantioenriched acridanes into rotationally restricted acridiniums. Upon ion exchange, the method selectively affords atropisomeric acridinium tetrafluoroborate salts in high yields and an enantioenrichment of up to 93 : 7 e.r. We envision that ion‐pairing catalysis over ortho‐quinone methide iminiums enables the selective synthesis of a diversity of heterocycles and aniline derivatives with distinct stereogenic units.

Abstract
We report herein a novel approach involving optical resolution of (±)-1,16-dihydroxytetraphenylene (DHTP) by chiral gold(iii) complexation. This method features several key advantages, i.e., recyclability of chiral resolution reagents, feasibility of scaling up to gram quantities, and operational simplicity. On the basis of this method, which led to optically pure DHTP, a library of 2,15-diaryl (S)-DHTPs and several (S)-DHTP-derived phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized. Finally, the superior performance of a (S)-DHTP phosphoramidite ligand was demonstrated by efficient iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkynylation reactions.

Abstract
Orientational chirality was discovered and characterized by a C(sp)–C(sp
3
) axis-anchored chiral center and a remotely anchored blocker. X-ray structural analysis proved that orientatiomers are stabilized by through-space functional groups, making it possible for 1
R
- or
S
-chiral center to exhibit 3 orientational isomers simply by rotating operations. A new model system was proposed, fundamentally different from the traditional Felkin–Ahn-type or Cram-type models. In these traditional models, chiral C(sp
3
) center and blocking C(sp
2
) carbons are connected adjacently, and there exist 6 energy barriers during rotating along the C(sp
2
)−C(sp
3
) axis. In comparison, the present orientational chirality model shows that a chiral C(sp)–C(sp
3
) carbon is remotely located from a blocking group. Thus, it is focused on the steric dialog between a chiral C(sp
3
) center and a remotely anchored functional group. There exist 3 energy barriers for either (
R
)– or (
S
)–C(sp)–C(sp
3
) stereogenicity in the new model. Chiral amide auxiliary was proven to be an excellent chiral auxiliary in controlling rotations of orientatiomers to give complete stereoselectivity. The asymmetric synthesis of individual orientatiomers was conducted via multistep synthesis by taking advantage of the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling and Sonogashira coupling reactions. Density functional theory computational study presented optimized conformers and relative energies for individual orientatiomers. This discovery would be anticipated to result in a new stereochemistry topic and have a broad impact on chemical, biomedical, and material sciences in the future.

Abstract
The development of chiral architectures for chiral ligand and catalyst discovery is essential for asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we report the concise synthesis of a Si-centered spirocyclic skeleton, spirobiphenoxasilin-diol (SPOSiOL), and its derived chiral ligands. Using the chemical resolution method, the optical SPOSiOL could be obtained in high yield on a gram scale. Preliminary studies indicated that this ligand scaffold has great potential in transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. This finding further highlights that the Si-centered spirocyclic scaffolds are of great value in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
A new class of axially chiral styrene-based thiourea tertiary amine catalysts, which have unique characteristics such as an efficient synthetic route, multiple chiral elements, and multiple activating groups, has been rationally designed. These new chiral catalysts have proven to be efficient organocatalysts, enabling the chemo-, diastereo-, and enantioselective (2+4) cyclization of 2-benzothiazolimines with homophthalic anhydrides in good yields (up to 96 %) with excellent stereoselectivities (all >95:5 dr, up to 98 % ee). More importantly, theoretical calculations elucidated the important role of an axially chiral styrene moiety in controlling both the reactivity and enantioselectivity. This work not only represents the first design of styrene-based chiral thiourea tertiary amine catalysts and the first catalytic asymmetric (2+4) cyclization of 2-benzothiazolimines, but also gives an in-depth understanding of axially chiral styrene-based organocatalysts.
