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
Pharmaceuticals and biologically active natural products usually contain multiple stereocenters. The development of catalytic asymmetric reactions for the direct construction of complex motifs containing three nonadjacent stereocenters is a particularly important and formidable challenge. In this paper, we report an unprecedented method for the direct asymmetric construction of complex chiral amines with 1,3,5- or 1,3,4-stereocenters from readily available achiral and racemic starting materials. The reaction was made possible by the development of highly efficient chiral ammonium catalysts that serve three distinct functions: promoting efficient kinetic resolution by chiral recognition of racemic electrophiles, promoting asymmetric C-C bond forming reactions by recognizing enantiotropic faces of achiral nucleophiles, and mediating a highly stereoselective protonation of carbanions. Using these trifunctional catalysts, the reaction of imines and tulipane derivatives proceeded in a highly regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective manner to produce synthetically useful yields of complex chiral amines. We believe that trifunctional catalysis can be applied in a variety of asymmetric transformations for the streamlined asymmetric synthesis of complex chiral molecules with multiple stereocenters.

Abstract
The umpolung functionalization of imines bears vast synthetic potential, but polarity inversion is less efficient compared with the carbonyl counterparts. Strong nucleophiles are often required to react with the N-electrophiles without catalytic and stereochemical control. Here we show an effective strategy to realize umpolung of imines promoted by organocatalytic aromatization. The attachment of strongly electron-withdrawing groups to imines could enhance the umpolung reactivity by both electronegativity and aromatic character, enabling the direct amination of (hetero)arenes with good efficiencies and stereoselectivities. Additionally, the application of chiral Brønsted acid catalyst furnishes (hetero)aryl C-N atropisomers or enantioenriched aliphatic amines via dearomative amination from N-electrophilic aromatic precursors. Control experiments and density functional theory calculations suggest an ionic mechanism for the umpolung reaction of imines. This disconnection expands the options to forge C-N bonds stereoselectively on (hetero)arenes, which represents an important synthetic pursuit, especially in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence and synthetic accessibility of amides render them valuable precursors for the synthesis of diverse nitrogen-containing compounds. Herein, we present a metal-free and streamlined synthetic strategy for the synthesis of quaternary α-aminophosphonates. This approach involves sequential deoxygenative nucleophilic phosphonation and versatile electrophilic alkylation of secondary amides in a one-pot fashion. Notably, this method enables the direct bis-functionalization of secondary amides with both nucleophiles and electrophiles for the first time, with simple derivatization leading to valuable free α-aminophosphonates by hydrolysis. The protocol has the advantages of operational simplicity, broad functional-group compatibility, environmental friendliness, and scalability to multigram quantities.

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
The reactivity umpolung of the C═N bond in the quinoxaline scaffold has been successfully realized for the first time by introduction of a formyl or an acyl group adjacent to the C-position of the C═N moiety. The reversed reactivity of the C═N bond thus enabled direct nucleophilic attack of alkyl Grignard reagents at the N-terminus rather than the C-terminus, thereby providing an unprecedented and efficient method for the synthesis of quinoxalin-2(1H)-one derivatives involving a tandem N-alkylation/C─C bond cleavage process.

Abstract
A copper catalyzed annulation-aromatization of benzyl trifluoromethyl ketimines with 3-acryloyloxazolidin-2-ones for the synthesis of 3-fluoropyridines through double C-F bond cleavages has been developed. In this approach, the annulation occurred between the in situ formed dienes from trifluoromethyl ketimines via the first C-F bond cleavage and 3-acryloyloxazolidin-2-ones. Then the aromatization afforded 3-fluoropyridines in moderate yields through the second C-F bond cleavage. The 3-fluoropyridine products could be further hydrolyzed to multi-substituted 3-pyridinecarboxylic acids.

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
Herein we reported a highly diastereoselective synthesis of quaternary 3-amino oxindoles bearing an acetal unit via a palladium catalyzed three-component cascade umpolung allylation/acetalation process. An array of 3-amino 3-allyl oxindoles incorporating diversified functional groups were prepared in good yields with exclusive diastereoselectivities. Further investigation demonstrated that the current method could also be extended to cascade umpolung allenylation/acetalation.

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
An oxa-[2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement involving arynes is reported featuring the umpolung of ketones, where the C═O bond polarity is reversed. The in situ-generated sulfur ylides from β-keto thioethers and arynes undergo efficient rearrangement allowing the facile and robust synthesis of functionalized enol ethers in high yields and excellent functional group compatibility. Preliminary mechanistic studies rule out the possibility of Pummerer-type rearrangement operating in this case.

Abstract
A unique enantioselective nickel-catalyzed vinylation of 2-azaallyl anions is advanced for the first time. This method affords diverse vinyl aryl methyl amines with high enantioselectivities, which are frequently occurring scaffolds in natural products and medications. This C-H functionalization method can also be extended to the synthesis of enantioenriched 1,3-diamine derivatives by employing suitably elaborated vinyl bromides. Key to the success of this process is the identification of a Ni/chiraphos catalyst system and a less reducing 2-azaallyl anion, all of which favor an anionic vinylation route over a background radical reaction. A telescoped gram scale synthesis and a product derivatization study confirmed the scalability and synthetic potential of this method.

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
Chiral 1,2-diamines serve as not only common structure units in bioactive molecules but also useful ligands for a range of catalytic asymmetric reactions. Here, we report a method to access anti-1,2-diamine derivatives. By means of the electron-withdrawing nature of 2- or 4-nitro-phenyl group, a copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric α-addition of ketimines derived from trifluoroacetophenone and 2- or 4-NO2-benzylamines to aldimines is achieved, which affords a series of chiral anti-1,2-diamine derivatives in moderate to high yields with moderate to high diastereoselectivity and high to excellent enantioselectivity. Aromatic aldimines, heteroaromatic aldimines, and aliphatic aldimines serve as suitable substrates. The nitro group is demonstrated as a synthetical handle by several transformations, including a particularly interesting Fe(acac)3-catalyzed radical hydroamination with a trisubstituted olefin. Moreover, the aryl amine moiety obtained by the reduction of the nitro group serves as a synthetically versatile group, which leads to the generation of several functional groups by the powerful Sandmeyer reaction, such as -OH, -Br, -CF3, and -BPin. Chiral 1,2-diamines are useful chemicals used as ligands in asymmetric catalysis. Here, the authors report a copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric α-addition of ketimines derived from trifluoroacetophenone and 2- or 4-NO2-benzylamines to aldimines, affording a series of chiral anti-1,2-diamine derivatives.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylation of N-fluorenyl trifluoromethyl imine with allylic acetates is disclosed. This method provides scalable and efficient access to polysubstituted chiral α-trifluoromethyl amines bearing two adjacent stereocenters and one allyl group in high yields with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. Importantly, this method also provides a powerful strategy for the synthesis of both regioisomeric products and the regioselectivity is controlled by the chiral catalysts and optically active substrates.

Abstract
Michael, Michael-annulation, and oxa-Diels-Alder reactions of carbohydrate derivatives that afford polyoxy-functionalized piperidine derivatives bearing tetrasubstituted carbon at the 3-position of the piperidine ring are reported. Iminium ions generated from carbohydrate derivatives with amines were converted to enamines in situ, which acted as nucleophiles. As a result, substituents were introduced at the 3-position or both 2- and 3-positions of the piperidines bearing polyoxy groups. This strategy will be useful in drug discovery efforts.

Abstract
We describe a strategy for the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of homoallylic α-trifluoromethyl amines by the catalytic hydroalkylation of terminal dienes. Trifluoromethyl-substituted isatin-derived azadienolate nucleophiles undergo γ-selective alkylation with a Pd-DTBM-SEGPHOS catalyst, which additionally promotes regioselective addition to the diene and delivers products in up to 86% yield, 10:1 dr, and 97.5:2.5 er.

Abstract
We herein report a high yielding protocol for the direct α-allylation of easily accessible trifluoropyruvate-derived imines using Pd-catalysis. The reaction gives access to a variety of different α-allylated-α-CF3-amino acids in a straightforward manner, starting from commercially available trifluoropyruvate. We also provide a proof-of-concept for an enantioselective protocol (up to er = 75:25) by using chiral phosphane ligands.

Abstract
The development of new strategies for the preparation of chiral amines is an important objective in organic synthesis. In this Synpacts, we summarize our approach for catalytically accessing nucleophilic aminoalkyl metal species from 2-azadienes, and its application in generating a number of important but elusive chiral amine scaffolds. Reductive couplings with ketones and imines afford 1,2-amino tertiary alcohols and 1,2-diamines, respectively, whereas fluoroarylations of gem-difluoro-2-azadienes deliver α-trifluoromethylated benzylic amines.

Abstract
Enabled by the discovery of new cinchonium salts and coadditives, a direct and efficient asymmetric access to trifluoromethylated γ-amino esters/lactones has been realized through the enantioselective and diastereoselective umpolung reaction of trifluoromethyl imines with acrylates or α,β-unsaturated lactones as carbon electrophiles. At 0.5-5.0 mol % catalyst loadings, the newly developed catalytic system activates a variety of imine substrates as unconventional nucleophiles to mediate highly chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective C-C bond forming reactions. The developed synthetic protocol represents an excellent strategy to target a series of versatile and enantiomerically enriched γ-amino esters/lactones in good to excellent yields from the readily available starting materials. Additionally, we found that the epi-vinyl catalysts based on cinchonidine and quinine promote a similarly high enantioselective reaction generating the opposite configuration of chiral products in a highly efficient manner, which allows convenient access to either the R- or S-enantiomer of the chiral amine products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of α-trifluoromethyl benzylic amines through the vicinal fluoroarylation of gem-difluoro-2-azadienes. Our studies indicate that XPhos plays an important role as a phase transfer catalyst that promotes the addition of AgF to the difluoroazadiene, generating an α-trifluoromethyl azaallyl-silver intermediate that we have characterized by NMR spectroscopy. This intermediate likely transmetallates to Pd, coupling several aryl iodides to deliver products in up to 90% yield. Modification of the azadiene's activating group facilitates challenging cross-couplings.

Abstract
A novel regioselective cyclization reaction of N-cinnamoylthioureas leading to six- or five-membered heterocyclic compounds was developed. N-Cinnamoylthioureas in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) underwent the well-established intramolecular cycloaddition reaction to give 2-imino-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-ones in good yields. On the other hand, the reaction with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) proceeded in an unprecedented "umpolung" cyclization fashion to afford five-membered 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones and/or 2-thioxoimidazolidine-4-ones. The reaction was considered to occur via a cycloadduct of DBU with the cinnamoyl moiety followed by intramolecular attack of the thiourea group.

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
Chiral exocylic vicinal diamines are biologically and chemically important compounds, but they are not easy to make. In this paper, an interesting aminative Umpolung cyclization process has been developed. Aromatic aldehydes 6 bearing an electrophilic chiral sulfinimine group underwent imine formation with 2,2-diphenylglycine (2), decarboxylation, and subsequent Umpolung cyclization, producing various trans-diamines 10 in 84-96% yields with high trans/cis ratios under very mild conditions. This work not only provides an efficient, clean, and mild method for the synthesis of chiral exocyclic vicinal diamines in one step but also represents a new application of aminative Umpolung strategy on intramolecular reactions.

Abstract
This review covers the use of 2-azaallyl anions, 2-azaallyl cations, and 2-azaallyl radicals in organic synthesis up through June 2018. Particular attention is paid to both foundational studies and recent advances over the past decade involving semistabilized and nonstabilized 2-azaallyl anions as key intermediates in various carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming processes. Both transition-metal-catalyzed and transition-metal-free transformations are covered. Azomethine ylides, which have received significant attention elsewhere, are discussed briefly with the primary focus on critical comparisons with 2-azaallyl anions in regard to generation and use.
