Abstract
Atropisomeric compounds-stereoisomers that arise from the restricted rotation about a single bond-have attracted widespread attention in recent years due to their immense potential for applications in a variety of fields, including medicinal chemistry, catalysis and molecular nanoscience. This increased interest led to the invention of new molecular motors, the incorporation of atropisomers into drug discovery programmes and a wide range of novel atroposelective reactions, including those that simultaneously control multiple stereogenic axes. A diverse set of synthetic methodologies, which can be grouped into desymmetrizations, (dynamic) kinetic resolutions, cross-coupling reactions and de novo ring formations, is available for the catalyst-controlled stereoselective synthesis of various atropisomer classes. In this Review, we generalize the concepts for the catalyst-controlled stereoselective synthesis of atropisomers within these categories with an emphasis on recent advancements and underdeveloped atropisomeric scaffolds beyond stereogenic C(sp2)-C(sp2) axes. We also discuss more complex systems with multiple stereogenic axes or higher-order stereogenicity.

Abstract
Axially chiral biaryl δ-amino acids possess significantly different conformational properties and chiral environment from centrally chiral amino acids, therefore, have drawn considerable attention in the fields of synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Herein, a novel chiral phenanthroline-potassium catalyst has been developed by constructing a well-organized axially chiral ligand composed of one 1,10-phenanthroline unit and two axially chiral 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) units. In the presence of this catalyst, good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99 % yield, 98 : 2 er) have been achieved in the ring-opening alcoholytic dynamic kinetic resolution of a variety of biaryl lactams, thereby providing an efficient protocol for catalytic asymmetric synthesis of unnatural axially chiral biaryl δ-amino acid derivatives.

Abstract
The development of new methods for regio- and stereoselective activation of C-O bonds in ethers holds significant promise for synthetic chemistry, offering advantages in terms of environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. Moreover, the C-N atropisomers represent a fascinating and crucial chiral system, extensively found in natural products, pharmaceutical leads, and the frameworks of advanced materials. In this work, we have introduced a nickel-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective carbon-oxygen arylation reaction for atroposelective synthesis of N-arylisoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The high regioselectivity of C-O cleavage benefits from the high stability of the in situ formed (amido)ethenolate via oxidative addition. Additionally, the self-activation of the aryl C-O bond facilitates the reaction under mild conditions, leading to outstanding enantioselectivities. The diverse post-functionalizations of the axially chiral isoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones further highlighted the utility of this protocol in preparing valuable C-N atropisomers, including the chiral phosphine ligands.

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
Axially chiral aldehydes have emerged recently as a unique class of motifs for drug design. However, few biocatalytic strategies have been reported to construct structurally diverse atropisomeric aldehydes. Herein, we describe the characterization of alcohol dehydrogenases to catalyze atroposelective desymmetrization of the biaryl dialdehydes. Investigations into the interactions between the substrate and key residues of the enzymes revealed the distinct origin of atroposelectivity. A panel of 13 atropisomeric monoaldehydes was synthesized with moderate to high enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and yields (up to 99%). Further derivatization allows enhancement of the diversity and application potential of the atropisomeric compounds. This study effectively expands the scope of enzymatic synthesis of atropisomeric aldehydes and provides insights into the binding modes and recognition mechanisms of such molecules.

Abstract
This study presents the atroposelective alkylation of 2-arylindoles catalyzed by a substituted cinchonium salt as a phase-transfer catalyst. Under the optimized reaction conditions, various substrates are employed to yield products with high enantioselectivity. The presence of an ortho-nitro group at the aromatic ring is essential for high atroposelectivity, because it facilitates favorable interactions between the catalyst and substrate. The origin of the enantioselectivity reveals favorable π-π interactions for both enantiomers and unfavorable steric strains for undesired enantiomers.

Abstract
We report an organocatalyst that combines a triazolium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) with a squaramide as a hydrogen-bonding donor (HBD), which can effectively catalyze the atroposelective ring-opening of biaryl lactams via a unique amide C-N bond cleavage mode. The free carbene species attacks the amide carbonyl, forming an axially chiral acyl-azolium intermediate. Various axially chiral biaryl amines can be accessed by this methodology with up to 99% ee and 99% yield. By using mercaptan as a catalyst turnover agent, the resulting thioester synthon can be transformed into several interesting atropisomers. Both control experiments and theoretical calculations reveal the crucial role of the hybrid NHC-HBD skeleton, which activates the amide via H-bonding and brings it spatially close to the carbene centre. This discovery illustrates the potential of the NHC-HBD chimera and demonstrates a complementary strategy for amide bond activation and manipulation.

Abstract
Alongside enantioselective catalysis, synthetic chemists are often confronted by the challenge of achieving catalyst control over the relative configuration to stereodivergently access desired diastereomers. Typically, these approaches iteratively or simultaneously control multiple stereogenic units for which dual catalytic methods comprising sequential, relay, and synergistic catalysis emerged as particularly efficient strategies. In this Perspective, the benefits and challenges of catalyst-controlled diastereodivergence in the construction of carbon stereocenters are discussed on the basis of illustrative examples. The concepts are then transferred to diastereodivergent catalysis for atropisomeric systems with twofold and higher-order stereogenicity as well as diastereodivergent catalyst control over E- and Z-configured alkenes.

Abstract
The development of catalytic asymmetric reaction with water as the reactant is challenging due to the reactivity- and stereoselectivity-control issues resulted from the low nucleophilicity and the small size of water. We disclose herein a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyzed atroposelective ring-opening reaction of biaryl oxazepines with water. A series of biaryl oxazepines undergo the CPA catalyzed asymmetric hydrolysis in a highly enantioselective manner. The key for the success of this reaction is the use of a new SPINOL-derived CPA catalyst and the high reactivity of biaryl oxazepine substrates towards water under acidic conditions. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the reaction proceeds via a dynamic kinetic resolution pathway and the CPA catalyzed addition of water to the imine group is both enantio- and rate-determining.

Abstract
Enantiomers, where chirality arises from restricted rotation around a single bond, are atropisomers. Due to the unique nature of the origins of their chirality, synthetic strategies to access these compounds in an enantioselective manner differ from those used to prepare enantioenriched compounds containing point chirality arising from an unsymmetrically substituted carbon center. In particular stereodynamic transformations, such as dynamic kinetic resolutions, thermodynamic dynamic resolutions, and deracemizations, which rely on the ability to racemize or interconvert enantiomers, are a promising set of transformations to prepare optically pure compounds in the late stage of a synthetic sequence. Translation of these synthetic approaches from compounds with point chirality to atropisomers requires an expanded toolbox for epimerization/racemization and provides an opportunity to develop a new conceptual framework for the enantioselective synthesis of these compounds.

Abstract
As the complexity of organic molecules utilized by mankind increases, the phenomenon of atropisomerism is more frequently encountered. While a variety of well-established methods enable the control of a stereogenic center, a catalytic method for controlling a stereogenic axis in one substrate is typically unavailable for controlling axial chirality in other substrates with a similar structure. Herein, we report o-amidobiaryl as a flexible platform for chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed atroposelective dynamic kinetic resolution. To demonstrate our strategy, three distinct types of arylindoles were utilized and reacted intermolecularly with ketomalonate in the presence of chiral phosphoric acid. An investigation of 46 substrates having an aromatic ring in different positions yields the desired products with excellent enantioselectivities. Computational investigation into the origin of enantioselectivity highlights the importance of the NH group. Given the biological significance of indoles, antiproliferative effects have been investigated; our scaffold exhibits good efficacy in this regard.

Abstract
A dirhodium(II)/phosphine catalyst with a chiral environment at the bridging site was developed for the asymmetric arylation of phenanthrene-9,10-diones with arylboronic acids. In contrast to the classic chiral bridging carboxylic acid (or derivatives) ligand strategy of bimetallic dirhodium(II) catalysis, in this reaction, tuning both axial and bridging ligands realized the first Rh2(OAc)4/phosphine-catalyzed highly enantioselective carbonyl addition reaction. The kinetic analysis reveals that dirhodium(II) and arylboronic acid follow the first-order kinetics, while phenanthrene-9,10-dione is zeroth-order. These data supported the proposed catalytic cycle, where the key intermediate in the rate-determining step involved the dirhodium(II) complex and arylboronic acid. Finally, axially chiral biaryls were prepared based on a newly developed oxidative ring-opening reaction of α-hydroxyl ketones with a base and molecular oxygen, which featured a central-to-axial chirality transfer radical β-scission step.

Abstract
The basics about arynes and their applications in synthetic organic chemistry are briefly presented, and the concept of atropisomerism is defined, highlighting that it is a time-dependent form of isomerism and chirality. It is remembered that racemization is a macroscopic and statistical irreversible process, while enantiomerization is a nanoscopic reversible process that occurs at the molecular scale, with racemization being twice as fast as enantiomerization. The concept of aryne atropisomers is introduced with a naive question: Can synthetically useful nonracemic aryne atropisomers having a triple bond ortho to the stereogenic single bond exist in solution? It was found that such aryne atropisomers can be generated in solution from easily available ortho-iodoaryl triflate precursors and excess trimethylsilylmethylmagnesium chloride. Analysis of the barriers to enantiomerization of some aryne atropisomers by computational modeling revealed the key contribution to the configurational stability of the H atom in tris-ortho-substituted biphenyl-based atropisomers. Using a specially designed prototype of aryne atropisomer, for which the barrier to enantiomerization was accurately evaluated by advanced computational modeling, the kinetic parameters of its reaction with furan were experimentally determined. From these measurements, it was concluded that any aryne atropisomer with a barrier to enantiomerization ΔGenant⧧ equal to or higher than 50 kJ mol-1 would lead to fully enantiospecific reactions. The synthetic applications of two structurally distinct aryne atropisomers built on a 1-phenylnaphthalene platform are described: one has the aryne triple bond embedded in the naphthyl moiety, and the other has the aryne triple bond embedded in the phenyl moiety. Both aryne atropisomers allowed for the fully enantiospecific, and possibly overall enantioselective, syntheses of original atropisomers based on standard aryne chemistry. For instance, reactions with anthracene and perylene afforded triptycene and nanographene atropisomers, respectively, in high enantiomeric excesses. A bis(aryne) atropisomer synthetic equivalent prepared from either enantiomer of BINOL is described for 3D bidirectional reactions with a single handedness. Its 2-fold reactions with anthracene and perylene afforded the corresponding severely congested bis(benzotriptycene) (99% ee) nanocarbon atropisomer and bis(anthra[1,2,3,4-ghi]perylene) (98% ee) nanographene atropisomer, respectively. This allowed the discovery of bis(twistacene) atropisomers as a new class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) with multiple stereogenicities. Cross reactions with the bis(aryne) atropisomer synthetic equivalent and two different arynophiles proved feasible, providing a nanographene atropisomer with a benzotriptycene unit and an anthra[1,2,3,4-ghi]perylene unit assembled around a stereogenic axis as a unique chiral PAH (99% ee). Overall, because the concept is simple and its implementation is easy, aryne atropisomers is an attractive approach to the synthesis of atropisomers in a broad meaning. Applications to the synthesis of large PAH atropisomers with single handedness are particularly promising.

Abstract
This book describes a unique class of secondary metabolites, the mono- and dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids. They occur in lianas of the paleotropical Ancistrocladaceae and Dioncophyllaceae families, exclusively. Their unprecedented structures include stereogenic centers and rotationally hindered, and thus likewise stereogenic, axes. Extended recent investigations on six Ancistrocladus species from Asia, as reported in this review, shed light on their fascinating phytochemical productivity, with over 100 such intriguing natural products. This high chemodiversity arises from a likewise unique biosynthesis from acetate-malonate units, following a novel polyketidic pathway to plant-derived isoquinoline alkaloids. Some of the compounds show most promising antiparasitic activities. Likewise presented are strategies for the regio- and stereoselective total synthesis of the alkaloids, including the directed construction of the chiral axis.

Abstract
Asymmetric organocatalysis has been considered to be an efficient and reliable strategy for the stereoselective preparation of optically active chemicals. In particular, chiral tertiary amines as Lewis base organocatalysts bearing core structures including quinuclidine, dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), N-methylimidazole (NMI), amidine, etc. have provided new and powerful tools for various chemical transformations. However, due to the limitations in structural complexity, synthetic difficulty, low catalytic efficiency, and high cost, the industrial application of such catalysts is still far from being widely adopted. Therefore, the development of new chiral tertiary amine catalysts with higher activity and selectivity is greatly desired.In order to address the contradiction between activity and selectivity caused by the ortho group, a bicyclic imidazole structure bearing a relatively large bond angle ∠θ was designed as the skeleton of our new catalysts. 6,7-Dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole (abbreviated as DPI) and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (abbreviated as TIP) are two of the utilized skeletons. In addition to obtaining satisfactory catalytic activity, excellent enantioselectivity would also be expected because the stereocontrol R group is neither far nor close to the catalytic active site (sp2-N atom) and is adjustable. Based on this skeleton, a family of chiral bicyclic imidazole catalysts were easily prepared and successfully applied in several enantioselective reactions for the synthesis of a variety of valuable chiral compounds.6,7-Dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole (abbreviated as DPI) is the predominantly utilized skeleton. First, HO-DPI, the key intermediate of the designed chiral bicyclic imidazole catalysts, could be efficiently synthesized from imidazole and acrolein, then separated by kinetic resolution or optical resolution. Second, Alkoxy-DPI, the alkyloxy-substituted chiral bicyclic imidazole catalysts, were synthesized by a one-step alkylation from HO-DPI. This type of catalyst has been successfully applied in asymmetric Steglich rearrangement (C-acylation rearrangement of O-acylated azlactones), asymmetric phosphorylation of lactams, and a sequential four-step acylation reaction. Third, Acyloxy-DPI, the acyloxy-substituted chiral bicyclic imidazole catalysts, were synthesized with a one-step acetylative kinetic resolution from racemic HO-DPI or acylation from enantiopure HO-DPI. The catalyst AcO-DPI has been successfully applied in enantioselective Black rearrangement and in direct enantioselective C-acylation of 3-substituted benzofuran-2(3H)-ones and 2-oxindoles. Fourth, Alkyl-DPI was synthesized via a two-step reaction from racemic HO-DPI and separated easily by resolution. The catalyst Cy-DPI has been successfully applied in dynamic kinetic resolution of 3-hydroxyphthalides through enantioselective O-acylation. Cy-PDPI was synthesized through a Cu-catalyzed amidation from Cy-DPI and successfully applied in the kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols with good to excellent enantioselectivities. Finally, the carbamate type chiral bicyclic imidazole catalysts, Carbamate-DPI, were readily synthesized from HO-DPI, and the catalyst Ad-DPI bearing a bulky adamantyl group was successfully applied in the synthesis of the anti-COVID-19 drug remdesivir via asymmetric phosphorylation. Alongside our initial work, this Account also introduces four elegant studies by other groups concerning asymmetric phosphorylation utilizing chiral bicyclic imidazole catalysts.In summary, this Account focuses on the chiral bicyclic imidazole catalysts developed in our group and provides an overview on their design, synthesis, and application that will serve as inspiration for the exploration of new organocatalysts and related reactions.

Abstract
Despite the great advancement in atroposelective synthesis in the past decades, the enantioselective synthesis of 2,2'-difluoro-1-biaryls is unprecedented. Herein, a palladium and chiral amino acid catalyzed atroposelective C-H olefination to construct the axially chiral 2,2'-difluoro-1-biaryls is reported. A variety of polyfluoro-substituted biaryls were forged under mild conditions in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). The potential application was demonstrated by a gram-scale synthesis and synthetic transformations.

Abstract
ConspectusArising from the restricted rotation of a single bond caused by steric or electronic effects, atropisomerism is one of the few fundamental categories for molecules to manifest their three-dimensional characters into which axially chiral biaryl compounds fall. Despite the widespread occurrence of axially chiral skeletons in natural products, bioactive molecules, and chiral ligands/organocatalysts, catalytic asymmetric methods for the synthesis of these structures still lag behind demand. Major challenges for the preparation of these chiral biaryls include accessing highly sterically hindered variants while controlling the stereoselectivity. A couple of useful strategies have emerged for the direct asymmetric synthesis of these molecules in the last two decades.Recently, we have engaged in catalytic asymmetric synthesis of biaryl atropisomers via transition metal catalysis, including asymmetric ring-openings of dibenzo cyclic compounds. During these studies, we serendipitously discovered that the two substituents adjacent to the axis cause these dibenzo cyclic molecules to be distorted to minimize steric repulsion. The distorted compounds display higher reactivity in the ring-opening reactions than the non-distorted molecules. In other words, torsional strain can promote a ring-opening reaction. On the basis of this concept, we have successfully realized the catalytic asymmetric ring-opening reaction of cyclic diaryliodoniums, dibenzo silanes, and 9H-fluoren-9-ols, which delivered several differently substituted ortho tetra-substituted biaryl atropisomers in high enantioselectivity. The torsional strain not only activates the substrates toward ring-opening under mild conditions but also changes the chemoselectivity of bond-breaking events. In the palladium-catalyzed carboxylation of S-aryl dibenzothiophenium, the torsional strain inversed the bond selectivity from exocyclic C-S bond cleavage to the ring-opening reaction.In this Account, we summarize our studies on copper-, rhodium-, or palladium-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening reactions of dibenzo cyclic compounds as a useful collection of methods for the straightforward preparation of ortho tetra-substituted biaryl atropisomers with high enantiopurity on the basis of the above-mentioned torsional strain-promoted ring-opening coupling strategy. In the last part, the torsional strain energies are also discussed with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

The catalytic reaction of biaryl lactams with activated isocyanides is reported for the first time. By employing a cooperative catalytic system, oxazole-containing axially chiral biaryl anilines were obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The key to the success lies in the atroposelective amide C-N bond cleavage with activated isocyanides.

Abstract
Rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-H activation-based arylation of sterically hindered (hetero)arenes has been realized using diazo compounds and triazoles as arylating reagents for atroposelective synthesis of two classes of biaryls. The coupling of 3-substituted indoles and N-sulfonyltriazoles afforded indoles with a C(2)-C chiral axis, while the arylation of 1-naphthylthioether with ortho-quinone diazide afforded chiral binaphthyls. These coupling systems proceeded under mild conditions via C-H activation and carbene insertion despite the steric hindrance of both the arenes and the carbene precursors.

Abstract
Axially chiral biaryls and heterobiaryls constitute the most represented subclass of atropisomers with prevalence in natural products, bioactive compounds, privileged chiral ligand/catalysts, and optically pure materials. Despite many ionic protocols for their construction, radical-based variants represent another highly desirable and intriguing strategy but are far less developed. Moreover, efficient synthesis of axially chiral heterobiaryl molecules, especially ones having multiple heteroatoms and other types of chiral elements, through radical routes remains extremely limited. We herein disclose the first catalytic asymmetric, metal-free construction of axially and centrally chiral heterobiaryls by Minisci reaction of 5-arylpyrimidines and α-amino acid-derived redox-active esters. This is enabled by the use of 4CzIPN as an organic photoredox catalyst in conjunction with a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst. The reaction achieved a variety of interesting 5-arylpyrimidines featuring the union of an axially chiral heterobiaryl and a centrally chiral α-branched amine with generally excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity (up to 82% yield; >19:1 dr; >99% ee). This finding also builds up a new platform for the development of desymmetrization methods via radical-involved atroposelective functionalization at heteroarene of prochiral heterobiaryls.

Abstract
AbstractAn unprecedented Cinchona alkaloid catalyzed atropoenantioselective transamination of biaryl aldehydes with 2,2-diphenylglycine via a cascade decarboxylation and dynamic kinetic resolution strategy is described. This protocol features broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance and allows the rapid assembly of axially chiral biaryls in high yields with acceptable to good enantioselectivities. In addition, such structural motifs may have potential applications in enantioselective catalysis as chiral ligands or catalysts.

Organocatalytic cycloaddition of alkynylindoles with azonaphthalenes for atroposelective construction of indole-based biaryls. Nat Commun 2022; 13:632.

Abstract
The axially chiral indole-aryl motifs are present in natural products and biologically active compounds as well as in chiral ligands. Atroposelective indole formation is an efficient method to construct indole-based biaryls. We report herein the result of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed asymmetric cycloaddition of 3-alkynylindoles with azonaphthalenes. A class of indole-based biaryls were prepared efficiently with excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 98% yield, 99% ee). Control experiment and DFT calculations illustrate a possible mechanism in which the reaction proceeds via a dearomatization of indole to generate an allene-iminium intermediate, followed by an intramolecular aza-Michael addition. This approach provides a convergent synthetic strategy for enantioselective construction of axially chiral heterobiaryl backbones. There is great interest in methods for catalytic enantioselective construction of axially chiral compounds found in natural products. Here, the authors develop a cycloaddition strategy for atroposelective construction of indole-based biaryls via chiral phosphoric acid-catalysed cycloaddition.

Abstract
The applications of axially chiral benzonitriles and their derivatives remain mostly unexplored due to their synthetic difficulties. Here we disclose an unusual strategy for atroposelective access to benzonitriles via formation of the nitrile unit on biaryl scaffolds pre-installed with stereogenic axes in racemic forms. Our method starts with racemic 2-arylbenzaldehydes and sulfonamides as the substrates and N-heterocyclic carbenes as the organocatalysts to afford axially chiral benzonitriles in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities. DFT calculations suggest that the loss of p-toluenesulfinate group is both the rate-determining and stereo-determining step. The axial chirality is controlled during the bond dissociation and CN group formation. The reaction features a dynamic kinetic resolution process modulated by both covalent and non-covalent catalytic interactions. The axially chiral benzonitriles from our method can be easily converted to a large set of functional molecules that show promising catalytic activities for chemical syntheses and anti-bacterial activities for plant protections.

Abstract
An Oxone-mediated oxidative ring-opening reaction of 4,5-disubstituted 9H-fluoren-9-ols by cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond is reported. 2-Hydroxy-2'-aroyl-1,1'-biaryls can be efficiently prepared by simply heating the mixture of fluoren-9-ols, Oxone, and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol at 60 °C for 4 h. The persulfate-involved ring-expansion processes were proposed and supported by the DFT calculations.

Abstract
We report herein an unprecedented atroposelective dynamic kinetic resolution of Bringmann's lactones with C-nucleophiles. By the use of activated isocyanides as the reagent, a wide range of novel axially chiral oxazole-substituted biaryl phenols were accessed in high yields with high enantioselectivities. Key to the success of this process lies in the tandem atroposelective addition of isocyanides to the lactone substrate followed by a rapid cyclization, overcoming the challenge of stereochemical leakage induced by lactol formation.

Abstract
The first catalytic asymmetric construction of axially chiral 4-aryl α-carboline skeletons has been accomplished through an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed atroposelective formal [3 + 3] annulation of 4-nitrophenyl 3-arylpropiolates with 2-sulfonamidoindolines. The synthetic utility of the title compounds has been demonstrated by the diverse late-stage structural modifications. Density functional theory calculations were also conducted to illuminate the key factors for controlling the origin of the enantioselectivity. This strategy not only provides an efficient pathway to access axially chiral α-carboline atropisomers but also offers a novel catalytic enantioselective mode for the construction of axially chiral heterobiaryls by using NHC-bound alkynyl acylazoliums.

Abstract
Atropisomerism is a stereochemical behavior portrayed by three-dimensional molecules that bear rotationally restricted σ bond. Akin to the well-represented point-chiral molecules, atropisomerically chiral compounds are finding increasing utilities in many disciplines where molecular asymmetry is influential. This provides steady demand on atroposelective synthesis, where numerous synthetic pursuits have been rewarded with conceptually novel and streamlined methods while expanding the structural diversity of atropisomers. This review summarizes key achievements in stereoselective preparation of biaryl, heterobiaryl, and nonbiaryl atropisomers documented between 2015 and 2020. Emphasis is placed on the synthetic strategies for each structural class, while examples are cited to illustrate the potential applications of the accessed atropochiral targets.

Abstract
Low molecular weight synthetic peptides have been demonstrated to be effective catalysts for an increasingly wide array of asymmetric transformations. In many cases, these peptide-based catalysts have enabled novel multifunctional substrate activation modes and unprecedented selectivity manifolds. These features, along with their ease of preparation, modular and tunable structures, and often biomimetic attributes make peptides well-suited as chiral catalysts and of broad interest. Many examples of peptide-catalyzed asymmetric reactions have appeared in the literature since the last survey of this broad field in Chemical Reviews (Chem. Rev. 2007, 107, 5759-5812). The overarching goal of this new Review is to provide a comprehensive account of the numerous advances in the field. As a corollary to this goal, we survey the many different types of catalytic reactions, ranging from acylation to C-C bond formation, in which peptides have been successfully employed. In so doing, we devote significant discussion to the structural and mechanistic aspects of these reactions that are perhaps specific to peptide-based catalysts and their interactions with substrates and/or reagents.

Abstract
Enantioenriched aryne atropisomers having a biaryl stereogenic axis vicinal to the reactive triple bond are demonstrated to exist. These reaction intermediates are easily produced in situ and can undergo the standard aryne cycloaddition chemistry in an enantiospecific manner. Notably, the aryne atropisomers herein have allowed the practical syntheses of a small nanographene as well as some triptycene and anthracene derivatives that embed stereogenic axes of controlled absolute configurations.

Abstract
The defined structure of molecules bearing multiple stereogenic axes is of increasing relevance to materials science, pharmaceuticals, and catalysis. However, catalytic enantioselective approaches to control multiple stereogenic axes remain synthetically challenging. We report the catalytic synthesis of two-axis terphenyl atropisomers, with complementary strategies to both chlorinated and brominated variants, formed with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The chemistry proceeds through a sequence of two distinct dynamic kinetic resolutions: first, an atroposelective ring opening of Bringmann-type lactones produces a product with one established axis of chirality, and second, a stereoselective arene halogenation delivers the product with the second axis of chirality established. In order to achieve these results, a class of Brønsted basic guanidinylated peptides, which catalyze an efficient atroposelective chlorination, is reported for the first time. In addition, a complementary bromination is reported, which also establishes the second stereogenic axis. These bromo-terphenyls are accessible following the discovery that chiral anion phase transfer catalysis by C2-symmetric phosphoric acids allows catalyst control in the second stereochemistry-determining event. Accordingly, we established the fully catalyst-controlled stereodivergent synthesis of all possible chlorinated stereoisomers while also demonstrating diastereodivergence in the brominated variants, with significant levels of enantioselectivity in all cases.

Abstract
Atropisomers are important organic frameworks in bioactive natural products, drugs as well as chiral catalysts. Meanwhile, silanols display unique properties compared to their alcohol analogs, however, the catalytic synthesis of atropisomers bearing silanol groups is challenging. Here, we show a rhodium-catalyzed torsional strain-promoted asymmetric ring-opening reaction for the synthesis of α-silyl biaryl atropisomers. The reaction features a dynamic kinetic resolution of C(Ar)-Si bond cleavage, whose stereochemistry was controlled by a phosphoramidite ligand derived from (S)-3-methyl-1-((2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)sulfonyl)piperazine. This work is a demonstration of an aryl-Narasaka acylation, where the C(Ar)-Si bond cleavage is promoted by the torsional strain of α, α’-disubstituted silafluorene. Methods to access atropisomers bearing silanol groups are of value in organic synthesis. Here, the authors report a rhodium-catalyzed torsional strain-promoted asymmetric ring-opening reaction for the synthesis of α-silyl biaryl atropisomers.

Abstract
Central-to-axial chirality conversion represents a fascinating class of chemical processes consisting of the destruction of stereogenic centers and the simultaneous installation of axial chiral elements, which provides efficient methods for the preparation of axially chiral compounds. Using the strategy, a wide range of axially chiral compounds, including biaryls, heterobiaryls, aromatic amides, allenes and vinyl arenes, have been synthesized with high efficiency and excellent enantioselectivity. In addition, central-to-axial chirality conversion strategy has been applied to the synthesis of natural products. The strategy has undoubtedly become and will continue to be a hot research topic in the field of asymmetric catalysis and synthesis. In this minireview, we selected some examples to introduce the developments and trends in the central-to-axial chirality conversion strategy up to April 2020.
