Abstract
α-Aminophosphonic acids as an important class of bioisosteres of α-amino acids demonstrate various biologically important activities. We report here the development of a highly enantioselective isomerization of α-iminophosphonates enabled by an extraordinarily efficient organocatalyst. This organocatalyst afforded a total turnover number (TON) of 20,000-1,000,000 for a wide range of α-alkyl iminophosphonates. Even at a parts-per-million (ppm) loading, this catalyst achieved a complete reaction in greater than 93% enantiomeric excess (ee). Computational studies revealed that this small-molecule catalyst achieved enzyme-like efficiency via a network of weak bonding interactions that effectively preorganized the substrate and catalyst toward a transition-state-like complex. Considering the substrate tolerance, catalytic efficiency, and mechanism, this organocatalyst could be regarded as a small-molecule isomerase.

Abstract
Chiral aminonitriles not only are broadly useful building blocks but also increasingly appear as structural motifs in bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals. The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral aminonitriles, therefore, has been intensively investigated, as reflected in numerous reports of catalytic asymmetric Strecker reactions. Despite such great progress, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral α,α-dialkyl aminonitriles in a highly selective and efficient manner is still a formidable challenge. Here, we report a new approach for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral α,α-dialkyl aminonitriles via reaction of cyanoketimines with enals. We demonstrate that this reaction could be carried out with as low as 20 ppm catalyst loading.

Abstract
The ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric reductive amination of aryl-trifluoromethyl ketones affording high value primary α-(trifluoromethyl)arylmethylamines using cheap NH4OAc as the nitrogen source and H2 as the reductant is reported. This user-friendly and simple catalytic method tolerates various aromatic functions with electron-withdrawing or -donating substituents at the para- or meta-positions and as well challenging heteroaromatic functions, yielding primary α-(trifluoromethyl)arylmethylamines with excellent chemoselectivities, enantioselectivities, and useful yields (80-97% ee, 51-92% isolated yields). Finally, scalable and concise synthesis of key drug intermediates using this methodology is presented.

Abstract
1,2,4-Triazole and 1,2,4-triazoline are important components of bioactive molecules and catalysts employed in organic synthesis. Therefore, the efficient synthesis of these components has received significant research attention. However, studies on their structural diversity remain lacking. Previously, we developed chiral phase-transfer-catalyzed asymmetric reactions of α-imino carbonyl compounds with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and haloalkanes. In this study, we demonstrate the formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of α-imino esters with azo compounds under Brønsted base catalysis, resulting in the corresponding 1,2,4-triazolines in high yields. The results revealed that a wide range of substrates and reactants can be applied, irrespective of their steric and electronic characteristics. The present reaction made the general preparation of 3-aryl pentasubstituted 1,2,4-triazolines possible for the first time. Furthermore, a mechanistic study suggested that the reaction proceeds without isomerization into the aldimine form.

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
Fluorodesilylation is a widely used strategy to activate organosilanes as nucleophiles for the development of organic transformations. To date, highly enantioselective catalytic fluorodesilylations have been limited to the activation of silyl ethers, organosilanes bearing specific substituents such as trifluoromethyl and cyanide, allylsilanes, and acylsilanes. However, the catalytic enantioconvergent reaction of racemic organosilanes bearing variable substituents via fluorodesilylation has been rarely reported. We report an unprecedented enantioconvergent fluorodesilylation of racemic organosilanes bearing various substituents with a chiral ammonium fluoride. Notably, these results demonstrated that the fluorodesilylation could potentially be a general strategy for the development of catalytic asymmetric reactions of racemic organosilanes.

Abstract
Vinylogous enolate and enolate-type carbanions, generated by deprotonation of α,β-unsaturated compounds and characterized by delocalization of the negative charge over two or more carbon atoms, are extensively used in organic synthesis, enabling functionalization and C–C bond formation at remote positions. Similarly, reactions with electrophiles at benzylic and heterobenzylic position are performed through generation of arylogous and heteroarylogous enolate-type nucleophiles. Although widely exploited in metal-catalysis and organocatalysis, it is only in recent years that the vinylogy and arylogy principles have been translated fruitfully in phase-transfer catalyzed processes. This review provides an overview of the methods developed to date, involving vinylogous and (hetero)arylogous carbon nucleophiles under phase-transfer catalytic conditions, highlighting main mechanistic aspects.

Abstract
The T⋅⋅⋅N tetrel bond (TB) formed between TX3 OH (T=C, Si, Ge; X=H, F) and the Lewis base N≡CM (M=H, Li, Na) is studied by ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level. Complexes involving TH3 OH contain a conventional TB with interaction energy less than 10 kcal/mol. This bond is substantially strengthened, approaching 35 kcal/mol and covalent character, when fluorosubstituted TF3 OH is combined with NCLi or NCNa. Along with this enhanced binding comes a near equalization of the TB T⋅⋅⋅N and the internal T-O bond lengths, and the associated structure acquires a trigonal bipyramidal shape, despite a high internal deformation energy. This structural transformation becomes more complete, and the TB is further strengthened upon adding an electron acceptor BeCl2 to the Lewis acid and a base to the NCM unit. This same TB strengthening can be accomplished also by imposition of an external electric field.

Abstract
Although utilization of fluorine compounds has a long history, synthesis of chiral fluorinated amino acid derivatives with structural diversity and high stereoselectivity is still very appealing and challenging. Here, we report a biomimetic study of enantioselective [1,3]-proton shift of β,β-difluoro-α-imine amides catalyzed by chiral quinine derivatives. A wide range of corresponding β,β-difluoro-α-amino amides were achieved in good yields with high enantioselectivities. The optically pure β,β-difluoro-α-amino acid derivatives were further obtained, which have high application values in the synthesis of fluoro peptides, fluoro amino alcohols and other valuable fluorine-containing molecules.

Abstract
The direct asymmetric aldol reaction of glycinates represents an intriguing and straightforward strategy to make biologically significant chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino-acid derivatives. But it is not easy to realize the transformation due to the disruption of the reactive NH2 group of glycinates. Inspired by the enzymatic aldol reaction of glycine, we successfully developed an asymmetric aldol reaction of glycinate 5 and trifluoromethyl ketones 4 with 0.1-0.0033 mol % of chiral N-methyl pyridoxal 7 a as the catalyst, producing chiral β-trifluoromethyl-β-hydroxy-α-amino-acid esters 6 in 55-82 % yields (for the syn-diastereomers) with up to >20:1 dr and 99 % ee under very mild conditions. The reaction proceeds via a catalytic cycle similar to the enzymatic aldol reaction of glycine. Pyridoxal catalyst 7 a activates both reactants at the same time and brings them together in a specific spatial orientation, accounting for the high efficiency as well as excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Peptides are important compounds with broad applications in many areas. Asymmetric transamination of α-keto amides can provide an efficient strategy to synthesize peptides, however, the process has not been well developed yet and still remains a great challenge in both enzymatic and catalytic chemistry. For biological transamination, the high activity is attributed to manifold structural and electronic factors of transaminases. Based on the concept of multiple imitation of transaminases, here we report N-quaternized axially chiral pyridoxamines 1 for enantioselective transamination of α-keto amides, to produce various peptides in good yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. The reaction is especially attractive for the synthesis of peptides made of unnatural amino acids since it doesn’t need great efforts to make chiral unnatural amino acids before amide bond formation. Asymmetric transamination of α-keto amides could provide an efficient strategy to synthesise peptides, but has not been well developed yet. Here, the authors design chiral pyridoxamine catalyst and realize the asymmetric biomimetic transamination of α-keto amides, providing access to various peptides with excellent enantiopurities.

Abstract
Axially chiral styrenes are of great interest since they may serve as a class of novel chiral ligands in asymmetric synthesis. However, only recently have strategies been developed for their enantioselective preparation. Thus, the development of novel and efficient methodologies is highly desirable. Herein, we reported the first tandem iridium catalysis as a general strategy for the synthesis of axially chiral styrenes enabled by Asymmetric Allylic Substitution-Isomerization (AASI) using cinnamyl carbonate analogues as electrophiles and naphthols as nucleophiles. In this approach, axially chiral styrenes were generated through two independent iridium-catalytic cycles: iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution and in situ isomerization via stereospecific 1,3-hydride transfer catalyzed by the same iridium catalyst. Both experimental and computational studies demonstrated that the isomerization proceeded by iridium-catalyzed benzylic C-H bond oxidative addition, followed by terminal C-H reductive elimination. Amid the central-to-axial chirality transfer, the hydroxyl of naphthol plays a crucial role in ensuring the stereospecificity by coordinating with the Ir(I) center. The process accommodated broad functional group compatibility. The products were generated in excellent yields with excellent to high enantioselectivities, which could be transformed to various axially chiral molecules.

Abstract
The imine umpolung is a relatively new and interesting strategy, especially in catalytic asymmetric synthesis. A significant development in organo- and transition metal-catalyzed umpolung of imines took place only in the recently concluded decade. A majority of the reports on the asymmetric umpolung of imines involve the initial generation of 2-azaallyl anion intermediates with the chiral catalysts, which serve as a significant driving force for the umpolung addition/substitution reactions. A variety of organocatalysts such as bifunctional cinchona alkaloids including squaramides and thioureas, chiral BINOL derived phosphoric acids, phase transfer catalysts (PTCs), phosphines, and transition metal-complexes of iridium, copper and palladium have been employed to achieve the excellent level of asymmetric induction in such types of umpolung reactions. The asymmetric imine umpolung strategy has been applied successfully to synthesize synthetic amino-acid derivatives and other useful chiral amines, including drugs and potentially bioactive molecules. This review summarizes all the significant recent development in catalytic umpolung reactions of imines involving a 2-azaallyl anion intermediate.

Abstract
Fumaric acid diesters are important building blocks for organic synthesis. A class of zwitterionic organocatalysts based on an amide anion/iminium cation charge pair were found to be effective in catalyzing the isomerization of maleic acid diesters to give fumaric acid diesters. Comparison of the performance of different zwitterionic organocatalysts toward the reaction revealed that nonclassical hydrogen bonding was involved in the stabilization of the Michael adduct intermediate.

Abstract
The exploitation of the α-trifluoromethylamino group as an amide surrogate in peptidomimetics and drug candidates has been on the rise. In a large number of these cases, this moiety bears stereochemistry with the stereochemical identity having important consequences on numerous molecular properties, such as the potency of the compound. Yet, the majority of stereoselective syntheses of α-CF3 amines rely on diastereoselective couplings with chiral reagents. Concurrent with the rapid expansion of fluorine into pharmaceuticals has been the development of catalytic enantioselective means of preparing α-trifluoromethyl amines. In this work, we outline the strategies that have been employed for accessing these enantioenriched amines, including normal polarity approaches and several recent developments in imine umpolung transformations.

Abstract
Axially chiral enamides bearing a N–C axis have been recently studied and were proposed to be valuable chiral building blocks, but a stereoselective synthesis has not been achieved. Here, we report the first enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral enamides via a highly efficient, catalytic approach. In this approach, C(sp2)–N bond formation is achieved through an iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylation, and then in situ isomerization of the initial products through an organic base promoted 1,3-H transfer, leading to the enamide products with excellent central-to-axial transfer of chirality. Computational and experimental studies revealed that the 1,3-H transfer occurs via a stepwise deprotonation/re-protonation pathway with a chiral ion-pair intermediate. Hydrogen bonding interactions with the enamide carbonyl play a significant role in promoting both the reactivity and stereospecificity of the stepwise 1,3-H transfer. The mild and operationally simple formal N-vinylation reaction delivered a series of configurationally stable axially chiral enamides with good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Axially chiral enamides bearing a N–C axis have been recently studied and were proposed to be valuable chiral building blocks, but a stereoselective synthesis has not been achieved.![]()

Abstract
Intermolecular haloesterification is an important class of transformations. The resulting products are valuable building blocks. However, it is often necessary to use super-stoichiometric amount of acid in order to compensate the low reactivity. Herein, we report a zwitterion-catalyzed intermolecular bromoesterification using acid and olefin in an equimolar ratio. Mechanistic study revealed that the charge pair in the zwitterion works synergistically in activating both NBS and carboxylic acid.

Abstract
A biomimetic enantioselective transamination of α-keto ester derivatives can be realized under mild conditions by using chiral quaternary ammonium arenecarboxylates in the absence of base additives. The corresponding α-amino acids can be used as versatile intermediates for further synthetic transformations that furnish chiral pyrrolidine and octahydroindolizine derivatives.

Abstract
Cinchona alkaloid-derived chiral catalysts represent one of the most widely applied classes of organocatalysts, which have been successfully utilized in the promotion of a wide variety of asymmetric reactions. Cinchona alkaloids exist in nature as pseudoenantiomers, which allow cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed reactions to provide high enantioselectivities and yields toward both enantiomers of interest in many reactions. On the other hand, the subtle structural difference between pseudoenantiomeric cinchona alkaloids could also lead to uneven efficiency that severely limits the applicability of some cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed reactions. We describe here the elucidation of the origin of and the consequent development of novel modified cinchona alkaloids to address such a problem in asymmetric imine umpolung reactions by cinchonium salts.

Abstract
An intramolecular umpolung allylation of imines is reported. This reaction occurs via the intermediacy of 2-azaallyl anions. It could proceed either under transition-metal-catalyzed conditions or under transition-metal-free conditions. Importantly, this approach afforded trans-3-vinyl-4-aminochromanes with high diastereoselectivity, while conventional, nonumpolung methods often display high cis-selectivity.

Abstract
Highly diastereo and enantioselective [4+2] cycloadditions have been achieved between pyrrolidone-derived cyclic enones and α-haloaldehydes under mild conditions. Relying on extremely reactive in-situ generated chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes, this stereoselective annulation proceeds efficiently even on the gram scale with the catalyst loading as low as 0.025 mol% (250 ppm). A variety of cis-substituted bicyclic dihydropyranones can be produced in up to 96% yield with up to >99% ee. In addition, simple, inexpensive linear aldehydes such as n-propanal can be used directly in asymmetric cycloadditions via oxidative N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis with low catalyst loading. This method may provide an economical and practical approach for the asymmetric synthesis of medicinally relevant molecules.
