Abstract
Silicon-stereogenic chiral organosilanes have found increasing applications in synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. In this context, various asymmetric catalytic methods have been established for the diverse synthesis of silicon-stereogenic silanes. In particular, asymmetric organocatalysis is emerging as an important and complementary synthetic tool for the enantioselective construction of silicon-stereocenters, along with the rapid development of chiral-metal catalyzed protocols. Its advent provides a powerful platform to achieve functionalized silicon-stereogenic organosilanes with structural diversity, and should lead to great development in chiral organosilicon chemistry. In this Tutorial Review, we highlight these latest achievements from two aspects: desymmetrizations of prochiral tetraorganosilanes and dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations of racemic organosilanes by employing five organocatalytic activation modes. The advantages, limitations and synthetic value of each protocol, as well as the synthetic opportunities still open for further exploration, are also discussed.

Abstract
An efficient and highly enantioconvergent and diastereoselective ternary catalysis in a one-pot process is reported, which represents an integrated strategy for the synthesis of atropisomeric hydrazides with defined vicinal central and axial chirality from readily available racemic α-amino-ynones, azodicarboxylates, and Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates. This method utilizes in situ-generated racemic pyrrolin-4-ones via hydroamination of racemic α-amino-ynones by AuCl catalysis as a novel and versatile C1 synthon, which engage commercially available azodicarboxylates to generate amination products in high yields and uniformly excellent enantioselectivities under the catalysis of a chiral phosphoric acid. Following amination, N-alkylation catalyzed by diastereoselective organocatalyst afforded axially chiral hydrazides with excellent diastereoselectivities (>98 : 2 dr). The synthetic utility of the amination products and axially chiral hydrazides was also demonstrated by their facile conversion to diverse molecules in high yields with excellent stereopurity. Density functional theory calculations were performed to understand the origin of diastereoselectivity.

Abstract
The Wacker and Wacker-type reactions are some of the most fundamental and powerful transformations in organic chemistry for their ability to efficiently produce valuable chemicals. Remarkable progress has been achieved in asymmetric oxy/aza-Wacker-type reactions; however, asymmetric Wacker-type dicarbofunctionalization remains underdeveloped, especially for the concurrent construction of two stereocenters. Herein, we report a Pd/Cu-cocatalyzed enantio- and diastereodivergent Wacker-type dicarbofunctionalization of alkene-tethered aryl triflates with imino esters. A series of 2-indanyl motifs bearing adjacent carbon stereocenters could be easily synthesized in moderate to excellent yields and with good to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 dr and >99% ee). Density functional theory calculations revealed that the origin of diastereoselectivity in this Pd/Cu synergistic catalytic system is jointly determined by both the intermolecular anti-carbopalladation of alkenes and the reductive elimination processes, in accordance with the Curtin-Hammett principle.

Abstract
A regio- and stereoselective stepwise (4+2) annulation of N-propargylamides and α,β-unsaturated imines/ketones has been accomplished with synergetic catalysis by a combination of a gold-complex and a chiral quinine-derived squaramide (QN-SQA), leading to highly functionalized chiral tetrahydropyridines/dihydropyrans in good to high yields with generally excellent enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations indicate that the in situ formed alkylgold species is the key intermediate in this transformation, and the amide group served as a traceless directing group in this highly selective transformation. This method complements the enantioselective (4+2) annulation of allene reagents, providing the formal internal C-C π-bond cycloaddition products, which is challenging and remains elusive.

Abstract
A cooperative catalysis-enabled (4 + 3) cycloaddition of 2-indolylmethanols with ortho-naphthoquinone methides (o-NQMs), which were in situ-generated from enynones, has been established in the presence of silver/Brønsted acid cocatalysts. In the reaction pathway, the key o-NQM intermediates were formed through Ag(I)-catalyzed cyclization of enynones, while the indole-based carbocation intermediates were generated via Brønsted acid-catalyzed dehydration of 2-indolylmethanols. By this approach, a wide range of seven-membered cyclohepta[b]indoles were synthesized in good yields with high efficiency under mild reaction conditions, which serves as a useful strategy toward constructing indole-fused seven-membered rings. Moreover, the catalytic asymmetric version of this (4 + 3) cycloaddition has been realized under the cooperative catalysis of Ag(I) with chiral phosphoric acid, which offered chiral cyclohepta[b]indole with a good enantioselectivity (75% ee). This work not only represents the first cooperative catalysis-enabled (4 + 3) cycloaddition of 2-indolylmethanols but also provides a good example for o-NQM-involved cycloadditions, which will contribute to the chemistry of 2-indolylmethanols and enrich the research contents of cooperative catalysis.

Abstract
Enantioselective construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has attracted much attention over the past few decades. A variety of catalytic asymmetric methods have been disclosed based on the use of presynthesized complex reagents that impart congested steric hindrance to the reaction center, which generally produce the chiral molecules through forming one C-C bond. The use of readily available reagents that could build two C-C bonds on the same carbonic center with the concomitant assembly of quaternary stereocenters remains challenging. Herein, we disclose a catalytic asymmetric alkyne multifunctionalization reaction using a gold complex and a chiral spiro phosphoric acid (SPA) for synergistic catalysis. In this method, the readily accessible internal alkynes served as the key gold carbene precursors, followed by carbene gem-dialkylation through Mannich-type addition of enolate species or stepwise formal cycloaddition with methylenimines that are derived from 1,3,5-triazinanes in the presence of SPA. The reaction provides practical access to poly-functionalized chiral linear and cyclic ketones that bear two adjacent quaternary stereocenters in generally good yields and excellent enantioselectivities, leading to an essential complement to the asymmetric construction of quaternary stereocenters using readily available materials with high bond formation efficiency.

Abstract
Stereocontrolled oxa-Michael additions are challenging, given the high reversibility of the process, which ultimately leads to racemization of the newly formed stereocenters. When iron-catalyzed borrowing hydrogen from allylic alcohols was combined with a stereocontrolled organocatalytic oxa-Michael addition, a wide array of chiral tetrahydropyrans were efficiently prepared. The reaction could be performed in a diastereoselective manner from pre-existing stereocenters or enantioselectively from achiral substrates. The key to success was the reactivity of the iron complex, which was selective for allylic alcohol dehydrogenation and irreversibly led the reaction to the final product.

Abstract
We have developed a highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective Cu-catalyzed desymmetrization of inert meso-diethers using Grignard reagents. Moreover, previous inaccessible sterically hindered organometallic reagents are realized in the reaction with broad secondary alkyl Grignard reagents. Finally, detailed control experiments and density functional theory calculations revealed the desymmetrization of meso-diethers exploits a direct anti-SN2' pathway, in the absence of an in situ-generated allyl bromine intermediate. The following oxidative addition is the crucial rate-determining and enantioselectivity-determining step.

Abstract
Despite the long-standing exploration of the catalytic asymmetric Tsuji-Trost allylation reaction since the mid-20th century, most reported instances have adhered to a two-component approach. Here, we present a remarkably efficient three-component asymmetric allylation reaction enabled by the collaborative action of chiral aldehyde and palladium. A diverse array of NH2-unprotected amino acid esters, aryl or alkenyl iodides, and allyl alcohol esters exhibit robust participation in this reaction, resulting in the synthesis of structurally diverse non-proteinogenic α-amino acid esters with favorable experimental outcomes. Mechanistic investigations reveal the dominance of the allylation/Heck coupling cascade in reactions involving electron-rich aryl iodides, while the Heck coupling/allylation cascade emerges as the dominant pathway in reactions involving electron-deficient aryl iodides. This chiral aldehyde/palladium combining catalytic system precisely governs the chemoselectivity of C-allylation and N-allylation, the regioselectivity of linear and branched allylation, and the enantioselectivity of C-allylation products.

Abstract
Reported herein are the bench stable (2E,4E)-diazohexa-2,4-dienals (diazodienals) and their unprecedented polycyclization with aldimine and arylamines enabled by Rh(II)/Brønsted acid relay catalysis. This scalable and atom-economical reaction provides direct access to the biologically important azatricyclo[6.2.1.04,11]undecane fused polycycles having six-contiguous stereocenters. Mechanistic studies revealed that polycyclization proceeds through an unusual triple-nucleophilic cascade initiated by aldimine attack on remote Rh-carbenoid, 6π-electrocyclization of aza-trienyl azomethine ylide, stereoselective aza-Michael addition via iminium activation, and inverse electron-demand intramolecular aza Diels-Alder reaction. The π-π secondary interactions play a crucial role in the preorganization of reactive intermediates for the pericyclic reactions and, hence, the overall efficiency of the polycyclization.

Abstract
An enantioselective isothiourea-catalysed [2 + 2] cycloaddition of C(1)-ammonium enolates with pyrazol-4,5-diones is used to construct spirocyclic β-lactones in good yields, excellent enantioselectivity (99 : 1 er) but with modest diastereocontrol (typically 70 : 30 dr). Upon ring-opening with morpholine or alternative nucleophilic amines and alcohols β-hydroxyamide and β-hydroxyester products are generated with enhanced diastereocontrol (up to >95 : 5 dr). Control experiments show that stereoconvergence is observed in the ring-opening of diastereoisomeric β-lactones, leading to a single product (>95 : 5 dr, >99 : 1 er). Mechanistic studies and DFT analysis indicate a substrate controlled Dynamic Kinetic Asymmetric Transformation (DyKAT) involving epimerisation at C(3) of the β-lactone under the reaction conditions, coupled with a hydrogen bond-assisted nucleophilic addition to the Si-face of the β-lactone and stereodetermining ring-opening. The scope and limitations of a one-pot protocol consisting of isothiourea-catalysed enantio-determining [2 + 2] cycloaddition followed by diastereo-determining ring-opening are subsequently developed. Variation within the anhydride ammonium enolate precursor, as well as N(1) and C(3) within the pyrazol-4,5-dione scaffold is demonstrated, giving a range of functionalised β-hydroxyamides with high diastereo- and enantiocontrol (>20 examples, up to >95 : 5 dr and >99 : 1 er) via this DyKAT.

Abstract
The cooperation of two distinct catalytic cycles to activate different reactive centers leading to a chemical transformation has been classified as synergistic catalysis. The synergistic combination of NHC with palladium catalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy in the last few years. Merging the ability of NHCs to inverse the polarity of a functional group with the unique reactivity of palladium enables transformations that cannot be accomplished by either of these catalysts alone. Despite the associated challenges, such as quenching of catalysts, reactivity mismatch etc., significant development has been achieved in the field of NHC/Pd synergistic catalysis. The recent incorporation of photoredox catalysis with NHC/Pd synergistic catalysis has further advanced this area. This review highlights the developments made in the area of NHC/Pd synergistic catalysis.

Abstract
With increasing interest in constructing more three-dimensional entities, there has been growing interest in cross-coupling reactions that forge C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds, which leads to additional challenges as it is not just a more difficult bond to construct but issues of stereocontrol also arise. Herein, we report the stereocontrolled cross-coupling of enantioenriched boronic esters with racemic allylic carbonates enabled by iridium catalysis, leading to the formation of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds with single or vicinal stereogenic centers. The method shows broad substrate scope, enabling primary, secondary, and even tertiary boronic esters to be employed, and can be used to prepare any of the four possible stereoisomers of a coupled product with vicinal chiral centers. The new method, which combines the simultaneous enantiospecific reaction of a chiral nucleophile with the enantioselective reaction of a chiral electrophile in a single process, offers a solution for stereodivergent cross-coupling of two C(sp3) fragments.

Abstract
ConspectusSynergistic catalysis is a powerful tool that involves two or more distinctive catalytic systems to activate reaction partners simultaneously, thereby expanding the reactivity space of individual catalysis. As an established catalytic strategy, organocatalysis has found numerous applications in enantioselective transformations under rather mild conditions. Recently, the introduction of other catalytic systems has significantly expanded the reaction space of typical organocatalysis. In this regard, aminocatalysis is a prototypical example of synergistic catalysis. The combination of aminocatalyst and transition metal could be traced back to the early days of organocatalysis and has now been well explored as an enabling catalytic strategy. Particularly, the acid-base properties of aminocatalysis can be significantly expanded to include usually electrophiles generated in situ via metal-catalyzed cycles. Later on, aminocatalyst has also been exploited in synergistically combining with photochemical and electrochemical processes to facilitate redox transformations. However, synergistically combining one type of aminocatalyst with many different catalytic systems remains a great challenge. One of the most daunting challenges is the compatibility of aminocatalysts in coexistence with other catalytic species. As nucleophilic species, aminocatalysts may also bind with metal, which leads to mutual inhibition or even quenching of the individual catalytic activity. In addition, oxidative stability of aminocatalyst is also a non-neglectable issue, which causes difficulties in exploring oxidative enamine transformations.In 2007, we developed a vicinal diamine type of chiral primary aminocatalysts. This class of primary aminocatalysts was developed and evolved as functional and mechanistic mimics to the natural aldolase and has been widely applied in a number of enamine/iminium ion-based transformations. By following a "1 + x" synergistic strategy, the chiral primary amine catalysts were found to work synergistically or cooperatively with a number of transition metal catalysts, such as Pd, Rh, Ag, Co, and Cu, or other organocatalysts, such as B(C6F5)3, ketone, selenium, and iodide. Photocatalysis and electrochemical processes can also be incorporated to work together with the chiral primary amine catalysts. The 1 + x catalytic strategy enabled us to execute unexploited transformations by fine-tuning the acid-base and redox properties of the enamine intermediates and to achieve effective reaction and stereocontrol beyond the reach individually. During these efforts, an unprecedented excited-state chemistry of enamine was uncovered to make possible an effective deracemization process. In this Account, we describe our recent efforts since 2015 in exploring synergistic chiral primary amine catalysis, and the content is categorized according to the type of synergistic partner such that in each section the developed synergistic catalysis, reaction scopes, and mechanistic features are presented and discussed.

Abstract
The construction of two distal stereocenters through a single catalytic process is of great interest in organic synthesis. While there are some successful reports regarding stereodivergent preparation of 1,3- or 1,4-stereocenters, the more challenged 1,5-nonadjacent stereocenters have never been achieved in a stereodivergent fashion. Herein we describe a synergistic palladium/copper catalysis for 1,4-difunctionalization reactions of 1,3-dienes, providing access to 1,5-nonadjacent quaternary stereocenters. Because each of the two catalysts separately controlled one of the newly formed stereocenters, stereodivergent synthesis of all four diastereomers of the products could readily be achieved simply by choosing an appropriate combination of chiral catalysts. Experimental and computational studies supported a mechanism involving a Heck/Tsuji-Trost cascade reaction, and the origins of the stereoselectivity were elucidated.

Abstract
A cooperative gold(I)/DMAP system catalyzes the (2 + 3) cycloadditions of yne-enones with oxindole-derived Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates, yielding diverse bispiro-cyclopentene oxindole products. The mild, scalable protocol demonstrates broad substrate scope and excellent chemo- and diastereoselectivity.

Abstract
Photodriven chiral catalysis is the combination of photocatalysis and chiral catalysis and is considered one of the cleanest and most efficient methods for the synthesis of chiral compounds or drugs. Furthermore, due to the potential metal contamination associated with most metal-based catalysts, metal-free chiral photocatalysts are ideal candidates. In this work, we demonstrate that metal-free chiral carbon dots (CDs) exhibit size-dependent enantioselective photocatalytic activity. Using serine as the raw material, chiral CDs with well-defined structures and average sizes of 2.22, 3.01, 3.70, 4.77, and 7.21 nm were synthesized using the electrochemical method. These chiral CDs possess size-dependent band gaps and exhibit photoresponsive enantioselective catalytic activity toward the oxidation of dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). Under light-assisted conditions, chiral CDs (L72, 500 μg/mL) exhibit high selectivity (selectivity factor: 2.07) and maintain a certain level of catalytic activity (1.34 μM/min) even at a low temperature of 5 °C. The high catalytic activity of the chiral CDs arises from their photoelectrons reducing O2 to generate O2-, as the active oxygen species for DOPA oxidation. The high enantioselectivity of the chiral CDs is attributed to their differential adsorption capabilities toward DOPA enantiomers. This study provides a new approach for designing metal-free chiral photocatalysts with high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
A robust and practical difluoroalkylation synthon, α,α-difluoroenol species, which generated in situ from trifluoromethyl diazo compounds and water in the presence of dirhodium complex, is disclosed. As compared to the presynthesized difluoroenoxysilane and in situ formed difluoroenolate under basic conditions, this difluoroenol intermediate displayed versatile reactivity, resulting in dramatically improved enantioselectivity under mild conditions. As demonstrated in catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction and Mannich reactions with ketones or imines in the presence of chiral organocatalysts, quinine-derived urea, and chiral phosphoric acid (CPA), respectively, this relay catalysis strategy provides an effective platform for applying asymmetric fluorination chemistry. Moreover, this method features a novel 1,2-difunctionalization process via installation of a carbonyl motif and an alkyl group on two vicinal carbons, which is a complementary protocol to the metal carbene gem-difunctionalization reaction.

Abstract
While progress in enantioselective C-H functionalization has been accomplished by employing 4d and 5d transition metal-based catalysts, the rapid depletion of these metals in the earth's crust poses a serious threat to making these protocols sustainable. On the other hand, because of their unique reactivity, low toxicity, and high earth abundance, newer strategies utilizing affordable 3d transition metals have come to the forefront. Among the first-row transition metals, high-valent cobalt has recently attracted a lot of attention for catalytic C-H functionalization with mono and bidentate directing groups. This approach was extended for asymmetric catalysis due to a fairly thorough knowledge of its catalytic cycles. Four major themes have been investigated as a result of this insight: (1) rational design of a chiral Cp#Co(III)-catalyst, (2) chiral carboxylic acid with achiral Cp*Co(III)-catalysts using monodentate directing groups, (3) cobalt/salox-based systems, and (4) cobalt/chiral phosphoric acid-based hybrid systems with bidentate directing groups. Herein, we highlight the recent developments in high-valent cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective C-H functionalization up to October 2023, with the strong belief that the current state-of-the-art can attract considerable interest in the synthetic community, encouraging discoveries in the evolving landscape of asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Gold complexes, because of their unique carbophilic nature, have evolved as efficient catalysts for catalyzing various functionalization reactions of C-C multiple bonds. However, the realization of enantioselective transformations via gold catalysis remains challenging due to the geometrical constraints and coordination behaviors of gold complexes. In this context, merged gold/organocatalysis has emerged as one of the intriguing strategies to achieve enantioselective transformations which could not be possible by using a single catalytic system. Historically, in 2009, this field started with the merging of gold with axially chiral Brønsted acids and chiral amines to achieve enantioselective transformations. Since then, based on the unique reactivity profiles offered by each catalyst, several reports utilizing gold in conjunction with various chiral organocatalysts such as amines, Brønsted acids, N-heterocyclic carbenes, hydrogen-bonding and phosphine catalysts have been documented in the literature. This article demonstrates an up-to-date development in this field, especially focusing on the mechanistic interplay of gold catalysts with chiral organocatalysts.

Abstract
ConspectusThe development of catalytic activation modes provides a reliable and effective platform for designing new enantioselective reactions and preparing chiral molecules with diverse structures. Chiral aldehyde catalysis is an attractive concept in asymmetric catalysis, which utilizes a chiral aldehyde catalyst to promote the asymmetric hydroamination of allylic amines, the asymmetric α-functionalization of primary amines, or the asymmetric transamination of α-keto esters. Typically, the chiral aldehyde-catalyzed asymmetric α-functionalization of primary amines provides an efficient and straightforward method for the synthesis of α-functionalized chiral amines, which does not require any additional protection or deprotection manipulations of the amine group. However, achieving catalytic stereoselective transformations with high efficiency and enantioselectivity by this strategy has remained an intractable challenge.This Account summarizes our endeavors in the development and application of chiral aldehyde catalysis. Using a chiral aldehyde as a catalyst, we reported the catalytic asymmetric α-C alkylation of 2-aminomalonate with 3-indolylmethanol in 2014, which represents the first chiral aldehyde-catalyzed asymmetric α-functionalization of an activated primary amine. Subsequently, several axially chiral aldehyde catalysts were continuously prepared by using chiral BINOL as the starting material, and their applications in asymmetric synthesis were explored. On the one hand, they were used as organocatalysts to realize the various transformations of α-amino acid esters, such as asymmetric 1,4-addition toward conjugated enones/α,β-unsaturated diesters and cyclic 1-azadienes as well as asymmetric α-arylation/allylation and benzylation with corresponding halohydrocarbons. Notably, taking advantage of the difference in the distribution of catalytic sites between two chiral aldehyde catalysts, we disclosed chiral aldehyde-catalyzed diastereodivergent 1,6-conjugated addition and Mannich reactions. On the other hand, the potential for the cooperative catalysis of a chiral aldehyde with a transition metal has also been demonstrated. Enabled by the combination of a chiral aldehyde, a palladium complex, and a Lewis acid, the enantioselective α-allylation of amino acid esters with allyl alcohol esters was established. Moreover, the ternary catalytic system has been successfully used for the α-functionalization of amino acid esters with 1,3-dienes, allenes, allenylic alcohol esters, 1,3-disubstituted allyl alcohol esters, and arylmethanol esters as well as the asymmetric cascade Heck-alkylation reaction. The combination of a chiral aldehyde and nickel complex allows for the asymmetric α-propargylation of amino acid esters with propargylic alcohol esters and provides excellent enantioselectivities. These transformations provide a large library of optically active amines and amino acids. With those chiral amino acid esters as key building blocks, the synthesis or formal synthesis of multiple natural products and biologically significant unnatural molecules was accomplished. This includes the stereodivergent synthesis of natural pyrrolizidine alkaloid NP25302 and the formal synthesis of natural product (S)-hypoestestatin 1 and manzacidin C, clinical candidate compound (+)-AG-041R, and somatostatin mimetics. It is fully anticipated that chiral aldehyde catalysis will soon witness rapid expansion both in the development of novel asymmetric transformations and in innovative applications for constructing optically active nitrogen-containing molecules with significant values.

Abstract
The development of new methods for enantioselective reactions that generate stereogenic centres within molecules are a cornerstone of organic synthesis. Typically, metal catalysts bearing chiral ligands as well as chiral organocatalysts have been employed for the enantioselective synthesis of organic compounds. In this review, we highlight the recent advances in main group catalysis for enantioselective reactions using the p-block elements (boron, aluminium, phosphorus, bismuth) as a complementary and sustainable approach to generate chiral molecules. Several of these catalysts benefit in terms of high abundance, low toxicity, high selectivity, and excellent reactivity. This minireview summarises the utilisation of chiral p-block element catalysts for asymmetric reactions to generate value-added compounds.

Abstract
A dual rhodium/isothiourea catalytic system was developed for the enantiodivergent transformation of terminal alkynes. Under synergistic rhodium/isothiourea dual catalysis, terminal alkynes can be creatively utilized as precursors for C1-ammonium enolate species, which subsequently participate in [4 + 2] and [2 + 2] annulation reactions with α,β-unsaturated ketimines or ketones, respectively. A wide range of chiral lactams and lactones were obtained in excellent yields and stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 dr, 98% ee).

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
ConspectusTransition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions of dienes (such as 1,3-dienes, alkoxyallenes, and aminoallenes) with carbon nucleophiles have proven to be a highly effective method for creating Csp3-Csp3 bonds. These reactions have perfect atom economy and typically occur under mild reaction conditions. By using chiral metal complexes as catalysts, it is possible to create enantioenriched molecules bearing allylic stereocenters with high enantioselectivities. However, challenges arise when Csp3-Csp3 bonds bearing two vicinal stereocenters are constructed through this type of coupling reaction. Due to the inherent diastereoselectivities, only the kinetically favored diastereoisomers (either the syn- or anti-product) are usually obtained through the transition-metal catalyst system. Achieving complementary stereoisomers with high selectivity, which require complete control of both absolute and relative configurations of multiple chiral centers in a single chemical transformation, is usually impossible.Over the past decade, significant advancements have been made in stereodivergent synthesis. Notably, iridium-related synergistic catalysis has been rapidly developed for stereodivergent allylic alkylation reactions. However, these systems were limited to using allylic alcohol derivatives as electrophilic partners. Finding ways to extend the use of synergistic catalysis to other types of stereodivergent reactions is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed.In 2019, we reported the first palladium-mediated synergistic system for the stereodivergent Csp3-Csp3 coupling between 1,3-dienes and aldimine esters. Lately, this strategy has proven successful in accessing stereodivergent coupling with diverse substrate patterns. In this Account, we will summarize our laboratory's efforts in developing a range of palladium-involved synergistic catalysis systems for the stereodivergent Csp3-Csp3 coupling reactions of dienes. We discovered several synergistic catalysis systems, including Pd/Cu(Ag), Pd/amine, Pd/Lewis base, and Pd/PTC. Additionally, we developed diverse dienes, such as 1,3-dienes, alkoxyallenes, and aminoallenes, to serve as suitable coupling partners for stereodivergent coupling. These processes provide an efficient method for constructing a range of chiral scaffolds bearing vicinal stereocenters. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism and to rationalize the origins of the stereochemistry for some of the synergistic catalyst systems. Finally, the synthetic application of these methods has been demonstrated in the concise total synthesis of a number of natural products and bioactive molecules. It is anticipated that an increasing number of chemists will join in the research on stereodivergent Csp3-Csp3 coupling reactions and contribute to more elegant examples in this area. We believe future development will further push the boundary of asymmetric catalysis and find more innovative applications soon for synthesizing complex chiral molecules.

Abstract
Primary alkyl amines are highly reactive in N-nucleophilic reactions with electrophiles. However, their α-C-H bonds are unreactive towards electrophiles due to their extremely low acidity (pKa ~57). Nonetheless, 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO) can activate primary alkyl amines by increasing the acidity of the α-amino C-H bonds by up to 1044 times. This makes the α-amino C-H bonds acidic enough to be deprotonated under mild conditions. By combining DFO with an iridium catalyst, direct asymmetric α-C-H alkylation of NH2-unprotected primary alkyl amines with allylic carbonates has been achieved. This reaction produces a wide range of chiral homoallylic amines with high enantiopurities. The approach has successfully switched the reactivity between primary alkyl amines and allylic carbonates from intrinsic allylic amination to the α-C-H alkylation, enabling the construction of pharmaceutically significant chiral homoallylic amines from readily available primary alkyl amines in a single step.

Abstract
Three novel copper Schiff base complexes, L1Cu(OAc)-L3Cu(OAc), bearing NNO tridentate ligands were synthesized and successfully entrapped in zeolite. All free and encapsulated complexes were fully characterized through experiments combined with theoretical calculations, and were subsequently employed as catalysts to activate H2O2 for degradation of methylene blue (MB). The catalytic activity of free complexes was tunable by substitution effects. The complex L3Cu(OAc) displayed enhanced efficiency by adopting bulky and donor substitutions due to the lower oxidation states. However, the free complexes exhibited modified structural and catalytic properties upon encapsulation into the zeolite. The constraint from the zeolite holes and coordination geometry caused the alteration of electronic structures and subsequently modified the reactivity. This study revealed that upon encapsulation, the larger molecular dimension of L3Cu(OAc) resulted in additional distorted geometry, leading to higher catalytic efficiency for MB degradation with more blue shifts in the UV-Vis spectrum. There was high catalytic activity by LnCu(OAc)-Y compared to that of the free complex, and high recyclability under near neutral conditions. In addition, the catalytic efficiency of L3Cu(OAc)-Y was higher or equivalent compared to other catalysts. This work provides new complexes with NNO tridentate ligands encapsulated inside zeolite and explains the relationship between the modified structure and functionality.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have undergone extensive research as heterogeneous catalysts for a wide range of significant reactions, but they have not yet been investigated in the realm of electrochemical asymmetric catalysis, despite their recognition as an economical and sustainable strategy for producing enantiopure compounds. Here, we report a mixed-linker strategy to design multicomponent two-dimensional (2D) chiral COFs with tunable layer stacking for highly enantioselective electrocatalysis. By crystallizing mixtures of triamines with and without the MacMillan imidazolidinone catalyst or aryl substituent (ethyl and isopropyl) and a dialdehyde derivative of thieno-[3,2-b]thiophene, we synthesized and structurally characterized a series of three-component homochiral 2D COFs featuring either AA or ABC stacking. The stacking modes that can be synthetically controlled through steric tuning using different aryl substituents affect their chemical stability and electrochemical performance. With the MacMillan catalyst periodically appended on their channels, all three COFs with conductive thiophene moieties can be highly enantioselective and recyclable electrocatalysts for the asymmetric α-arylation of aldehydes, affording alkylated anilines with up to 97% enantiomeric excess by an anodic oxidation/organocatalytic protocol. Presumably due to their higher charge transfer ability, the ABC stacking COFs exhibit improved reactivity compared to the AA stacking analogue. This work therefore advances COFs as electrocatalysts for asymmetric catalysis and may facilitate the design of more redox-active crystalline organic polymers for electrochemical enantioselective processes.

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
We herein report a two-step approach for the enantioselective synthesis of novel chiral δ-lactams. By using a cooperative chiral ITU/achiral Pd-catalyst system, this protocol proceeds via an asymmetric α-allylation of activated aryl esters first, followed by an acid-mediated lactam formation. A variety of differently substituted products could be obtained with usually high levels of enantioselectivities and in reasonable yields (16 examples, up to 98 : 2 er and 73 % yield over two steps). In addition, further utilizations of the products via transformations of the exocyclic double bond were successfully carried out as well.

Abstract
Functionalized triose-, furanose and chromane-derivatives were synthesized by the titled reactions. The sugar-assisted kinetic resolution/C-C bond-forming cascade processes generate a functionalized sugar derivative with a quaternary stereocenter in a highly enantioselective fashion (up to >99 % ee) by using a simple combination of metal and chiral amine co-catalysts. Notably, the interplay between the chiral sugar substrate and the chiral amino acid derivative allowed for the construction of a functionalized sugar product with high enantioselectivity (up to 99 %) also when using a combination of racemic amine catalyst (0 % ee) and metal catalyst.

Abstract
A highly enantio- and diastereoselective approach has been developed for the synthesis of chiral phosphono dihydropyranones. This approach is enabled by Pd/chiral isothiourea relay catalysis under mild reaction conditions, starting from readily available benzyl bromides, CO, and α-ketophosphonates. The cascade reaction involves the generation of a ketene intermediate from Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of benzyl bromide and subsequent chiral Lewis base catalyzed formal [4 + 2] reaction. Phosphono lactone products can also be transformed to chiral 1,5-diester products in good yield and high stereoselectivity.

A chiral aldehyde/palladium catalysis-enabled asymmetric α-allylation of NH2-unprotected amino acid esters with 1,3-disubstituted allyl acetates is described in this work. With the utilization of different chiral phosphine ligands, both the anti- and syn-selective allylation reactions are achieved enantioselectively. A series of α,α-disubstituted amino acid esters bearing two adjacent chiral centers are produced in moderate-to-excellent yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Desymmetrization is an essential method for the synthesis of chiral compounds, particularly chiral biaryls. We have developed an enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral biaryls by desymmetrization using C(sp3)-H activation catalyzed by chiral palladium phosphate. Mechanistic studies show that C-H activation is the rate- and enantiomer-determining step. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of asymmetric desymmetrization of axially chiral compounds by C(sp3)-H activation.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in asymmetric synthesis through the use of transition metal catalysts combined with Lewis bases. However, the use of a dual catalytic system involving 4-aminopyridine and transition metal has received little attention. Here we show a metal/Lewis base relay catalytic system featuring silver acetate and a modified chiral pyrrolidinopyridine (PPY). It was successfully applied in the cycloisomerization/(2 + 3) cycloaddition reaction of enynamides. Bispirocyclopentene pyrazolone products could be efficiently synthesized in a stereoselective and economical manner (up to >19:1 dr, 99.5:0.5 er). Transformations of the product could access stereodivergent diastereoisomers and densely functionalized polycyclic derivatives. Mechanistic studies illustrated the relay catalytic model and the origin of the uncommon chemoselectivity. In subsequent bioassays, the products containing a privileged drug-like scaffold exhibited isoform-selective phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) inhibitory activity in vitro. The optimal lead compound displayed a good therapeutic effect for ameliorating pulmonary fibrosis via inhibiting PDE1 in vivo.

Abstract
Deracemization, which converts a racemate into its single enantiomer without separation of the intermediate, has gained renewed interest in asymmetric synthesis with its inherent atomic economy and high efficiency. However, this ideal process requires selective energy input and delicate reaction design to surmount the thermodynamical and kinetical constraints. With the rapid development of asymmetric catalysis, many catalytic strategies in concert with exogenous energy input have been exploited to facilitate this nonspontaneous enantioenrichment. In this perspective, we will discuss the basic ideas to accomplish catalytic deracemization, categorized by the three major exogenous energy sources including chemical (redox)-, photo- and mechanical energy from attrition. Emphasis will be given to the catalytic features and the underlying deracemization mechanism together with perspectives on future development.

Abstract
The first catalytic asymmetric cascade Heck-alkylation reaction of NH2-unprotected amino acid esters with N-(2-iodophenyl)allenamides is reported in this work. Under the promotion of a combining catalytic system comprising a chiral aldehyde, a chiral palladium complex, and the Lewis acid ZnCl2, the title reaction takes place smoothly, giving optically active α-alkyl tryptophan derivatives in moderate to good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. The target products can be converted into other structurally complex chiral indoles without the loss of enantioselectivities.

Abstract
The development of general methods for asymmetric benzylation of prochiral carbon nucleophiles remains a challenge in organic synthesis. The merging of ruthenium catalysis and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis for asymmetric redox benzylation of enals has been achieved, which opens up strategic opportunities for the asymmetric benzylation reactions. A wide range of 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles with a stereogenic quaternary carbon center widely existing in natural products and biologically interesting molecules is successfully obtained with excellent enantioselectivities [up to 99% enantiomeric excess (ee)]. The generality of this catalytic strategy was further highlighted by its successful application in the late-stage functionalization of oxindole skeletons. Furthermore, the linear correlation between ee values of NHC precatalyst and the product elucidated the independent catalytic cycle of either the NHC catalyst or the ruthenium complex.

Abstract
We describe a synergistic Cu/secondary amine catalysis for skeletal transformation of an oxindole core into a quinolinone skeleton, which generates several structurally new pyridine-fused quinolinones. The synergistic reactions allow expansion of a five-membered lactam ring by radical cation-triggered C-C bond cleavage and enable a further intramolecular cyclization with the aim to construct totally distinct core skeletons.

Abstract
Aldehydes constitute a main class of organic compounds widely applied in synthesis. As such, catalyst-controlled enantioselective α-functionalization of aldehydes has attracted great interest over the years. In this context, α-branched aldehydes are especially challenging substrates because of reactivity and selectivity issues. Firstly, the transient trisubstituted enamines and enolates resulting upon treatment with an aminocatalyst or a base, respectively, would exhibit attenuated reactivity; secondly, mixtures of E- and Z-configured enamines/enolates may be formed; and third, effective face-discrimination on such trisubstituted sp2 carbon intermediates by the incoming electrophilic reagent is not trivial. Despite these issues, in the last 15 years, several catalytic approaches for the α-functionalization of prostereogenic α-branched aldehydes that proceed in useful yields and diastereo- and enantioselectivity have been uncovered. Developments include both organocatalytic and metal-catalyzed approaches as well as dual catalysis strategies for forging new carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom (C-O, N, S, F, Cl, Br, …) bond formation at Cα of the starting aldehyde. In this review, some key early contributions to the field are presented, but focus is on the most recent methods, mainly covering the literature from year 2014 onward.

Abstract
Chiral γ-lactam-containing skeletons are important motifs in bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, and bioactive molecules. Herein, we report a general and modular platform to access chiral γ-lactam compounds via an ITU/Ir cooperatively catalyzed [3 + 2] asymmetric annulation reaction of vinyl aziridines with pentafluorophenyl esters. Through the Lewis base and transition metal cooperative catalytic regime, a broad range of optically active γ-lactams were generated in good yields (up to 92%) with high asymmetric induction (up to 98% ee). Furthermore, the utility of this synthetic protocol was also demonstrated by the expedient preparation of diverse enantioenriched architectures.

Abstract
Spirooxindoles have emerged as promising architectures for engineering biologically active compounds. The diastereodivergent construction of unique scaffolds of this type with full control of continuous chiral centers including an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center is yet to be developed. Here, we report an unprecedented diastereodivergent desymmetric [3 + 3] annulation of oxabicyclic alkenes with enals enabled by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/Rh cooperative catalysis, leading to a series of enantiomerically enriched spirooxindole lactones with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5 dr). The combined catalyst system comprises a rhodium complex that controls the configuration at the electrophilic carbon and an NHC catalyst that controls the configuration at the nucleophilic oxindole-containing carbon; thus, four stereoisomers of the spirooxindole products can be readily obtained simply by switching the configurations of the two chiral catalysts. Transformations of the chiral spirooxindoles delivered synthetically useful compounds. Importantly, those chiral spirooxindoles arrested mammalian cells in mitosis and exhibited potent antiproliferative activities against HeLa cells. Significantly, both absolute and relative configurations exert prominent effects on the bioactivities, underscoring great importance of catalytic asymmetric diastereodivergent synthesis beyond creating useful tools for the exploration of structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
Synergistic catalysis has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for stereodivergent formation of Csp3 -Csp3 bonds bearing vicinal stereocenters. Despite the many successes that have been achieved in this field, stereodivergent Csp3 -Csp3 coupling reactions involving stabilized nucleophiles remain challenging because of the competing single-catalysis pathway. Herein, we report a synergistic palladium/phase-transfer catalyst system that enables diastereodivergent Csp3 -Csp3 coupling reactions of 1,3-dienes with stabilized nucleophile oxindoles. Both the syn and anti coupling products, bearing quaternary and tertiary vicinal stereocenters, could be selectively produced in good yields with high enantio- and diastereoselectivities. Non-covalent activation of the stabilized nucleophile via chiral ion pair in a biphasic system is a crucial success factor in achieving diastereodivergence.

Abstract
Asymmetric organocatalysis has experienced a long and spectacular way since the early reports over a century ago by von Liebig, Knoevenagel and Bredig, showing that small (chiral) organic molecules can catalyze (asymmetric) reactions. This was followed by impressive first highly enantioselective reports in the second half of the last century, until the hype initiated in 2000 by the milestone publications of MacMillan and List, which finally culminated in the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This short Perspective aims at providing a brief introduction to the field by first looking on the historical development and the more classical methods and concepts, followed by discussing selected advanced recent examples that opened new directions and diversity within this still growing field.

Abstract
A highly enantioselective cascade carbonylation/annulation of benzyl bromides, CO, and vinyl benzoxazinanones under mild conditions has been established by Pd/chiral Lewis base relay catalysis, providing an efficient method to assemble chiral quinolinones from readily available starting materials in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The palladium catalyst plays two roles in this reaction, enabling both the carbonylation process and the generation of the zwitterionic π-allyl palladium intermediate.
