Abstract
Developing novel catalysts with potent activity is of great importance in organocatalysis. In this study, we designed and prepared a new class of benzotetramisole Lewis base catalysts (AxBTM) that have both central and axial chirality. This unique feature of these catalysts results in a three-dimensional microenvironment with multi-layers of chirality. The performance of the developed catalysts was tested in a series of cycloaddition reactions. These included the AxBTM-catalyzed (2+2) cycloaddition between α-fluoro-α-aryl anhydride with imines or oxindoles, and the sequential gold/AxBTM-catalyzed (4+2) cycloaddition of enynamides with pentafluorophenyl esters. The interplay between axial and central chirality had a collaborative effect in regulating the stereochemistry in these cycloadditions, leading to high levels of stereoselectivity that would otherwise be challenging to achieve using conventional BTM catalysts. However, the (2+2) and (4+2) cycloadditions have different predilections for axial and central chirality combinations.

Abstract
Baloxavir marboxil (1; BXM) is a potent drug used for treating influenza infections. The current synthetic route to BXM (1) is based on optical resolution; however, this method results in the loss of nearly 50% of the material. This study aimed to describe an efficient and simpler method for the synthesis of BXM. We achieved a stereoselective synthesis of BXM (1). The tricyclic triazinanone core possessing a chiral center was prepared via diastereoselective cyclization utilizing the readily available amino acid l-serine. The carboxyl moiety derived from l-serine was removed via photoredox decarboxylation under mild conditions to furnish the chiral tricyclic triazinanone core ((R)-14). The synthetic route demonstrated herein provides an efficient and atomically economical method for preparing this potent anti-influenza agent.

Abstract
We herein introduce biarylhemiboronic esters as a new type of bridged biaryl reagent for asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral biaryl structures, and the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of biarylhemiboronic esters is developed. This dynamic kinetic atroposelective coupling reaction exhibits high enantioselectivity, good functional group tolerance, and a broad substrate scope. The synthetic application of the current method was demonstrated by transformations of the product and a programmed synthesis of chiral polyarene. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction proceeded via an enantio-determining dynamic kinetic atroposelective transmetalation step.

Abstract
The site-selective reaction of substrates with multiple reactive sites has been a focus of the current synthetic chemistry. The use of attractive noncovalent interactions between the catalyst and substrate is emerging as a versatile approach to address site-selectivity challenges. Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of palladacycles, to control meta-selective Suzuki coupling of 3,4-dichlorophenol and 3,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol. Noncovalent interactions directed zwitterionic aqua palladacycles catalyzed meta-selective Suzuki couplings of 3,4-dichloroarenes bearing hydroxyl in water have been developed. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that the electrostatic interactions play a critical role in meta-selective coupling of 3,4-dichlorophenol, while meta-selective coupling of 3,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol arises due to the hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Abstract
An asymmetric desymmetrization of fluorene-derived meso-epoxides is disclosed for the construction of chiral fluorenes bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter at C9. This desymmetrization is catalyzed by a chiral (salen)CrIII complex via remote stereocontrol, producing diverse chiral fluorenes with excellent yields and stereoselectivity. The practicality of this protocol was demonstrated through the transformation of the obtained products to some intriguing enantioenriched polymerizable monomers.

Abstract
Herein, we describe our design and synthesis of novel chiral monophosphine ligands by the short-step addition of chiral lactates as side chains to the well-known ligand SPhos/RuPhos. The new chiral ligands were shown to be highly efficient in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, providing a series of axially chiral biphenyl products in high yield and high enantioselectivity. Furthermore, the gram-scale reaction and the diverse conversions of the products demonstrated the potential utility of the approach.

Abstract
Arylative phenol dearomatization affords complex, cyclohexanone-based scaffolds from simple starting materials, and asymmetric versions allow access to valuable enantioenriched structures. However, bespoke chiral ligands must typically be identified for each new scaffold variation. We have addressed this limitation by applying the concept of electrostatically-directed palladium catalysis whereby the chiral sulfonated ligand sSPhos engages in electrostatic interactions with a phenolate substrate via its associated alkali metal cation. This approach allows access to highly enantioenriched spirocyclohexadienones, a process originally reported by Buchwald and co-workers in a predominantly racemic manner. In addition, sSPhos is proficient at forming two other distinct scaffolds, which had previously required fundamentally different chiral ligands, as well as a novel oxygen-linked scaffold. We envisage that the broad generality displayed by sSPhos will facilitate the expansion of this important reaction type and highlight the potential of this unusual design principle, which harnesses attractive electrostatic interactions.

Abstract
Remote meta selective C-H functionalization of aromatic compounds remains a challenging problem in chemical synthesis. Here, we report an iridium catalyst bearing a bidentate pyridine-pyridone (PY-PYRI) ligand framework that efficiently catalyzes this meta selective borylation reaction. We demonstrate that the developed concept can be employed to introduce a boron functionality at the remote meta position of phenols, phenol containing bioactive and drug molecules, which was an extraordinary challenge. Moreover, we have demonstrated that the method can also be applied for the remote C6 borylation of indole derivatives including tryptophan that was the key synthetic precursor for the total synthesis of Verruculogen and Fumitremorgin A alkaloids. The inspiration of this catalytic concept was started from the O-Si secondary interaction, which by means of several more detailed control experiments and detailed computational investigations revealed that an unprecedented Bpin shift occurs during the transformation of iridium bis(boryl) complex to iridium tris(boryl) complex, which eventually control the remote meta selectivity by means of the dispersion between the designed ligand and steering silane group.

Abstract
We report an enantio- and diastereodivergent synthesis of enantioenriched fluorenes bearing bis-1,3-nonadjacent stereocenters with broad substrate scope and high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) under low catalyst loading (0.1 mol %). The key to the success of this method is the pseudo-diastereodivergent desymmetrization of stereoisomers of meso-epoxides enabled by the same organocatalyst. Furthermore, some of the chiral fluorenes obtained exhibit high fluorescence quantum yields (up to 76.6%), as evidenced by photophysical properties studies.

Abstract
Synthetic application of asymmetric catalysis relies on strategic alignment of bond construction to creation of chirality of a target molecule. Remote desymmetrization offers distinctive advantages of spatial decoupling of catalytic transformation and generation of a stereogenic element. However, such spatial separation presents substantial difficulties for the chiral catalyst to discriminate distant enantiotopic sites through a reaction three or more bonds away from a prochirality center. Here, we report a strategy that establishes acyclic quaternary carbon stereocenters through cross-coupling reactions at distal positions of aryl substituents. The new class of amino acid-derived ionic chiral catalysts enables desymmetrizing (enantiotopic-group-selective) Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, Sonogashira reaction, and Buchwald-Hartwig amination between diverse diarylmethane scaffolds and aryl, alkynyl, and amino coupling partners, providing rapid access to enantioenriched molecules that project substituents to widely spaced positions in the three-dimensional space. Experimental and computational investigations reveal electrostatic steering of substrates by the C-terminus of chiral ligands through ionic interactions. Cooperative ion-dipole interactions between the catalyst's amide group and potassium cation aid in the preorganization that transmits asymmetry to the product. This study demonstrates that it is practical to achieve precise long-range stereocontrol through engineering the spatial arrangements of the ionic catalysts' substrate-recognizing groups and metal centers.

Abstract
The development of an enantioselective catalytic Suzuki-Miyaura reaction that applies to meso 1,2-diborylcycloalkanes is described. This reaction provides a modular route to enantiomerically enriched substituted carbocycles and heterocycles that retain a synthetically versatile boronic ester. With appropriately constructed substrates, compounds bearing additional stereogenic centers and fully substituted carbon atoms can be generated in a straightforward fashion. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest that substrate activation arises from the cooperative effect of vicinal boronic esters during the transmetalation step.

Abstract
The involvement of planar carbocation intermediates is generally considered undesirable in asymmetric catalysis due to the difficulty in gaining facial control and their intrinsic stability issues. Recently, suitably designed chiral catalyst(s) have enabled a guided approach of nucleophiles to one of the prochiral faces of carbocations affording high enantiocontrol. Herein, we present the vital mechanistic insights from our comprehensive density functional theory (B3LYP-D3) study on a chiral Ir-phosphoramidite-catalyzed asymmetric reductive deoxygenation of racemic tertiary α-substituted allenylic alcohols. The catalytic transformation relies on the synergistic action of a phosphoramidite-modified Ir catalyst and Bi(OTf)3, first leading to the formation of an Ir-π-allenyl carbocation intermediate through a turn-over-determining SN1 ionization, followed by a face-selective hydride transfer from a Hantzsch ester analogue to yield an enantioenriched product. Bi(OTf)3 was found to promote a significant number of ionic interactions as well as noncovalent interactions (NCIs) with the catalyst and the substrates (allenylic alcohol and Hantzsch ester), thus providing access to a lower energy route as compared to the pathways devoid of Bi(OTf)3. In the nucleophilic addition, the chiral induction was found to depend on the number and efficacy of such key NCIs. The curious case of reversal of enantioselectivity, when the α-substituent of the allenyl alcohol is changed from methyl to cyclopropyl, was identified to originate from a change in mechanism from an enantioconvergent pathway (α-methyl) to a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (α-cyclopropyl). These molecular insights could lead to newer strategies to tame tertiary carbocations in enantioselective reactions using suitable combinations of catalysts and additives.

Abstract
Due to their low reactivity, difficult enantiocontrol, and proneness to N-O bond cleavage, the catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of oximes to hydroxylamines has remained a significant challenge. Herein, a Lewis and Brønsted acid cooperation strategy was established for the asymmetric hydrogenation of oximes, providing the corresponding hydroxylamines with up to 95% yield and up to 96% ee. Addition of Lewis and Brønsted acid was crucial to obtain high conversion and enantioselectivity. Mechanistic investigations indicates that the thiourea fragment of the ligand, Lewis acid (In(OTf)3 or Zn(OAc)2), as well as the Brønsted acid (l-CSA) played vital roles in the control of reactivity and enantioselectivity of the reaction. In addition, the synthetic elaboration of this transformation was demonstrated by gram scale experiment with retention of the yield and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
![]()
Axial chirality features prominently in molecules of
biological
interest as well as chiral catalyst designs, and atropisomeric 2,2′-biphenols
are particularly prevalent. Atroposelective metal-catalyzed cross-coupling
is an attractive and modular approach to access enantioenriched biphenols,
and yet existing protocols cannot achieve this directly. We address
this challenge through the use of enantiopure, sulfonated SPhos (sSPhos), an existing ligand that has until now been
used only in racemic form and that derives its chirality from an atropisomeric
axis that is introduced through sulfonation. We believe that attractive
noncovalent interactions involving the ligand sulfonate group are
responsible for the high levels of asymmetric induction that we obtain
in the 2,2′-biphenol products of Suzuki–Miyaura coupling,
and we have developed a highly practical resolution of sSPhos via diastereomeric salt recrystallization.

Abstract
Ladderane phospholipids, with their unusual ladder-like arrangement of concatenated cyclobutane rings, represent an architecturally unique class of natural products. However, despite their fascinating structure and other necessary impetus, only a few synthetic studies of these molecules have been reported so far. We have now devised a concise total synthesis of [3]-ladderanol, a component of natural ladderane phospholipids, using an organocatalytic enantioselective desymmetrizing formal C(sp2 )-H alkylation. Our synthetic strategy rests on the late-stage introduction of chirality, thus allowing facile access to both enantiomers of [3]-ladderanol as well as an analogue. This is the first time a desymmetrization strategy is applied to the synthesis of [3]-ladderanol. The scope of this desymmetrizing C(sp2 )-H alkylation of meso-cyclobutane-fused cyclohexenediones is also presented.

Abstract
Harnessing radical intermediates in regioselective reactions presents a substantial challenge. Here, we report a novel control strategy through engineering covalently tethered transition metal-photocatalysts that conjoin Pd-phosphine and Ru/Ir photoredox units. This strategy allows us to override the innate regioselectivity of the Pd-catalysed C-H allenylation of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines.
