Abstract
Highly functionalized organic molecules are in high demand, but their preparation is challenging. Copper-catalyzed transformation of alkynyl- and allenyl-containing substrates has emerged as a powerful tool to achieve this objective. Herein, an efficient copper-catalyzed difunctionalization of propargylic carbonates through tandem nucleophilic substitution/boroprotonation has been developed, affording the formation of thiol-, selenium-, and boron-functionalized alkenes with high yield and stereoselectivity. Two distinct catalytic mechanisms involving a single reaction without any requirement of catalyst change were successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
We disclosed a Ni/CPA cocatalyzed protocol to access diverse C-acyl glycosides under mild conditions with broad functional group compatibility through the coupling of readily available glycosyl bromides and carboxylic esters. The potential application of the methodology was demonstrated by the C-acyl glycosylation of bioactive molecules and the transformation of products to a variety of value-added molecules. Mechanistic studies revealed that CPA might serve as a bifunctional H-bond catalyst to activate carboxylic esters and nickel catalyst.

Abstract
Performing asymmetric cross-coupling reactions between propargylic electrophiles and aryl nucleophiles is a well-established method to build enantioenriched benzylic alkynes. Here, a catalytic enantioselective propargyl-aryl cross-coupling between two electrophiles was achieved for the first time in a stereoconvergent manner. Propargylic chlorides were treated with aryl iodides as well as heteroaryl iodides in the presence of a chiral nickel complex, and manganese metal was used as a stoichiometric reductant, allowing for the construction of a propargyl C-aryl bond under mild conditions. An alternative dual nickel/photoredox catalytic protocol was also developed for this cross-electrophile coupling in the absence of a metal reductant. The potential utility of this conversion is demonstrated in the facile construction of stereoenriched bioactive molecule derivatives and medicinal compounds based on the diversity of acetylenic chemistry. Detailed experimental studies have revealed the key mechanistic features of this transformation.

Abstract
The creation of full stereoisomers of an organic compound comprising multiple contiguous stereocenters with simultaneous control over both relative and absolute configurations remains a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry. Using a cooperative catalysis strategy, we established an N-heterocyclic carbene/nickel-catalyzed enantio- and diastereodivergent propargylation reaction to access 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles, enabling the incorporation of internal alkyne functionality and the introduction of a single quaternary or vicinal quaternary/tertiary stereogenic center. By selecting the appropriate combination of catalyst chirality, all four potential stereoisomers of α-quaternary propargylated oxindoles were synthesized in a predictable and precise way with remarkable yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities from identical starting materials. The synthetic utility of this method was demonstrated in the concise asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-debromoflustramine B and (-)-C(β-Me)-debromoflustramine B.

Abstract
Enantioconvergent catalysis has expanded asymmetric synthesis to new methodologies able to convert racemic compounds into a single enantiomer. This review covers recent advances in transition-metal-catalyzed transformations, such as radical-based cross-coupling of racemic alkyl electrophiles with nucleophiles or racemic alkylmetals with electrophiles and reductive cross-coupling of two electrophiles mainly under Ni/bis(oxazoline) catalysis. C-H functionalization of racemic electrophiles or nucleophiles can be performed in an enantioconvergent manner. Hydroalkylation of alkenes, allenes, and acetylenes is an alternative to cross-coupling reactions. Hydrogen autotransfer has been applied to amination of racemic alcohols and C-C bond forming reactions (Guerbet reaction). Other metal-catalyzed reactions involve addition of racemic allylic systems to carbonyl compounds, propargylation of alcohols and phenols, amination of racemic 3-bromooxindoles, allenylation of carbonyl compounds with racemic allenolates or propargyl bromides, and hydroxylation of racemic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.

Abstract
Catalytic enantioselective introduction of a propargyl group constitutes one of the most important carbon-carbon forming reactions, as it is versatile to be transformed into diverse functional groups and frequently used in the synthesis of natural products and biologically active molecules. Stereoconvergent transformations of racemic propargyl precursors to a single enantiomer of products via propargyl radicals represent a powerful strategy and provide new reactivity. However, only few Cu- or Ni-catalyzed protocols have been developed with limited reaction modes. Herein, a photoredox/cobalt-catalyzed regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective propargyl addition to aldehydes via propargyl radicals is presented, enabling construction of a broad scope of homopropargyl alcohols that are otherwise difficult to access in high efficiency and stereoselectivity from racemic propargyl carbonates. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations provided evidence for the involvement of propargyl radicals, the origin of the stereoconvergent process and the stereochemical models.

Abstract
Carbon-oxygen bonds are commonplace in organic molecules, including chiral bioactive compounds; therefore, the development of methods for their construction with simultaneous control of stereoselectivity is an important objective in synthesis. The Williamson ether synthesis, first reported in 18501, is the most widely used approach to the alkylation of an oxygen nucleophile, but it has significant limitations (scope and stereochemistry) owing to its reaction mechanism (SN2 pathway). Transition-metal catalysis of the coupling of an oxygen nucleophile with an alkyl electrophile has the potential to address these limitations, but progress so far has been limited2-7, especially with regard to controlling enantioselectivity. Here we establish that a readily available copper catalyst can achieve an array of enantioconvergent substitution reactions of α-haloamides, a useful family of electrophiles, by oxygen nucleophiles; the reaction proceeds under mild conditions in the presence of a wide variety of functional groups. The catalyst is uniquely effective in being able to achieve enantioconvergent alkylations of not only oxygen nucleophiles but also nitrogen nucleophiles, giving support for the potential of transition-metal catalysts to provide a solution to the pivotal challenge of achieving enantioselective alkylations of heteroatom nucleophiles.

Abstract
The combined catalytic systems derived from organocatalysts and transition metals exhibit powerful activation and stereoselective-control abilities in asymmetric catalysis. This work describes a highly efficient chiral aldehyde-nickel dual catalytic system and its application for the direct asymmetric α-propargylation reaction of amino acid esters with propargylic alcohol derivatives. Various structural diversity α,α-disubstituted non-proteinogenic α-amino acid esters are produced in good-to-excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Furthermore, a stereodivergent synthesis of natural product NP25302 is achieved, and a reasonable reaction mechanism is proposed to illustrate the observed stereoselectivity based on the results of control experiments, nonlinear effect investigation, and HRMS detection.

Abstract
The development of general catalytic methods for the regio- and stereoselective construction of phosphoryl derivatives from identical substrates remains a formidable challenge in organic synthesis. Enabled by the newly developed BDPP-type ligands, we disclosed a nickel-catalyzed allenylation of phosphine oxides rationally and predictably, allowing the construction of versatile chiral allenylphosphoryl derivatives with high enantiopurity (up to 94% e.e.). Alternatively, using an achiral phosphine ligand dcypbz under acidic conditions, we achieved a regiochemical switch of the 1,3-dienylation to afford functionalized phosphinoyl 1,3-butadienes (up to 93% yield). The salient features of this method include switchable reactivity, broad substrate scope, readily available feedstock, single-step preparation, and high asymmetric induction.

Abstract
An iridium-catalyzed stereoselective coupling of allylic ethers and alkynes to generate 3,4-substituted 1,5-enynes is reported. Under optimized conditions, the coupling products are formed with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities, and the protocol is functional group tolerant. Moreover, we report conditions that allow the reaction to proceed with complete reversal of diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies are consistent with an unprecedented dual role for the iridium catalyst, enabling the propargylic deprotonation of the alkyne through π-coordination, as well as the generation of a π-allyl species from the allylic ether starting material.

Abstract
The synergistic chiral Lewis acid/achiral Pd catalyst system was successfully applied in the enantioselective benzylation of various imine esters, giving a range of α-benzyl-substituted α-amino acid derivatives in satisfactory yield with excellent enantioselectivity. It is worth noting that this strategy exhibits good tolerance for bicyclic and monocyclic benzylic electrophiles. Furthermore, the utility of this synthetic protocol was demonstrated by the expedient preparation of enantioenriched antihypertensive drug α-methyl-l-dopa.
