Abstract
A boron-catalyzed Michael reaction using pairs of carboxylic acids was developed. The reaction occurs through dual activation of the two substrates by a boron catalyst, which facilitates boron enolate formation from the donor carboxylic acid with simultaneous activation of the α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid as the acceptor. α-Aryl and α-alkenyl carboxylic acids were applicable as donors. The versatility and utility of this reaction were demonstrated by the direct use of pharmaceuticals as donor carboxylic acids.

Abstract
To facilitate the discovery and development of new pharmaceuticals, the demand for novel stereofunctionalised building blocks has never been greater. Whilst molecules bearing quaternary and tetrasubstituted stereogenic centres are ideally suited to explore untapped areas of chemical space, the asymmetric construction ofsterically congested carbon centres remains a longstanding challenge in organic synthesis. The enantioselective assembly of acyclic stereogenic centres is even more demanding due to the need to restrict a much wider range of geometries and conformations of the intermediates involved. In this context, the catalytic asymmetric allylicalkylation (AAA) of acyclic prochiral nucleophiles, namely enolates, has become an indispensable tool to access a range of linearα-quaternary andα-tetrasubstituted carbonyl compounds. However, unlike the AAA of cyclic enolates with a fixed enolate geometry, to achieve high levels of stereocontrol in the AAA of acyclic enolates, the stereoselectivity of enolisation must be considered. The aim of this review is to offer acomprehensivediscussion of catalytic AAA reactions of acyclic prochiral enolates and their analogues to generate congested quaternary and tetrasubstituted chiral centres using metal, non-metal and dual catalysis, with particular focus given to the control of enolate geometry and its impact on the stereochemical outcome of the reaction.

Abstract
Pd2dba3·CHCl3 (2.5 mol%)-BINAPHANE (5 mol%) was used to promote the first catalytic enantioselective allylation of disubstituted ketenes to give α-allyl esters. The ester products were formed in good to excellent yields (61-93% yield for 13 examples, 16 examples in all), with moderate to good enantioselectivity (68-80% ee for 7 examples).

Abstract
Novel imidazole-containing boronic acid and palladium hybrid catalysis for regioselective O-allylation of carbohydrates has been developed. This catalytic process enables the introduction of a useful allyl functional group into the equatorial hydroxy group of cis-1,2-diols of various carbohydrates with low catalyst loading and excellent regioselectivities. This is the first report on hybrid catalysis in combination with a Lewis base-containing boronic acid and a transition metal complex.

Abstract
A catalytic, enantioselective method for direct α-alkylation of ketones with unactivated alkyl halides is realized by employing an α-enolizable ketone in a nickel-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp3) cross-coupling reaction. The key to the success is attributed to a unique bimetallic ligand. A variety of acyclic ketones and unactivated alkyl iodides can serve as suitable substrates under mild conditions to generate chiral ketones with α-quaternary carbon stereocenters in high yields with good enantioselectivities. A range of transformations based on the ketone moiety are also demonstrated to show the potential application of this method. Preliminary mechanistic studies support a dinickel-catalyzed cross-coupling mechanism.

Abstract
The development of catalytic and enantioselective transformations for the synthesis of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has long been recognized as a significant challenge in organic synthesis. While considerable progress has been made in asymmetric allylations, their potential to functionalize the commonly used synthon, epoxide, remains largely underexplored. Here we demonstrate the first highly regio- and enantioselective allylation of epoxides that delivers a range of quaternary stereocenters in the face of potentially problematic elimination and protonation reactions. The reaction proceeds via a radical approach under mild conditions and benefits from the use of earth-abundant titanium with a highly sophisticated salen ligand, which facilitates remarkable enantiocontrol and suppresses undesired side reactions. The resulting allylation products are multifunctional building blocks that can be elaborated chemo- and stereoselectively to a broad array of stereodefined structural motifs.

Abstract
Cyclopropanes are key features in many preclinical, clinical, and commercial drugs, as well as natural products. The most prolific technique for their synthesis is the metal-catalyzed reaction of an alkene with a diazoalkane, a highly energetic reagent requiring stringent safety precautions. Discovery of alternative innocuous reagents remains an ongoing challenge. Herein, we report a simple photoredox-catalyzed intermolecular cyclopropanation of unactivated alkenes with active methylene compounds. The reaction proceeds in neutral solvent under air or dioxygen (O2) with a photoredox catalyst excited by blue light-emitting diode light and an iodine co-catalyst that is either added as molecular iodine or generated in situ from alkyl iodides. Mechanistic investigations indicate that photosensitized O2 plays a vital role in the generation of carbon-centered radicals for both the addition of active methylene compounds to alkenes and the ring closure.

Abstract
The asymmetric α-allylation of α-aryl-substituted 2-acetyl imidazoles synergistically catalyzed by Ni/Pd catalysts has been developed. In this process, the nickel-bisoxazoline complex activates the enolate of an acetyl imidazole, which then reacts with a π-allyl palladium electrophile generated from an allyl alcohol derivative by a palladium-based catalyst. A broad scope of substrates was suitable for this reaction. The utility of this method was demonstrated by a gram-scale reaction and subsequent elaboration of the allylation products.

Abstract
To investigate the synergistic catalytic effects of boric acid and α-hydroxycarboxylic acids (HCAs), we analyzed and measured the effects of the complexation reactions between boric acid and HCAs on the ionization equilibrium of the HCAs. Eight HCAs, glycolic acid, D-(-)-lactic acid, (R)-(-)-mandelic acid, D-gluconic acid, L-(-)-malic acid, L-(+)-tartaric acid, D-(-)-tartaric acid, and citric acid, were selected to measure the pH changes in aqueous HCA solutions after adding boric acid. The results showed that the pH values of the aqueous HCA solutions gradually decreased with an increase in the boric acid molar ratio, and the acidity coefficients when boric acid formed double-ligand complexes with HCAs were smaller than those of the single-ligand complexes. The more hydroxyl groups the HCA contained, the more types of complexes could be formed, and the greater the rate of change in the pH. The total rates of change in the pH of the HCA solutions were in the following order: citric acid > L-(-)-tartaric acid = D-(-)-tartaric acid > D-gluconic acid > (R)-(-)-mandelic acid > L-(-)-malic acid > D-(-)-lactic acid > glycolic acid. The composite catalyst of boric acid and tartaric acid had a high catalytic activity-the yield of methyl palmitate was 98%. After the reaction, the catalyst and methanol could be separated by standing stratification.

Abstract
Although arynes are usually considered fleeting intermediates, they are highly valuable synthons because they enable the introduction of aromatic rings and the simultaneous formation of new bonds at two sites. Although catalytic reactions using transition metals are excellent method for constructing complex polycyclic aromatic molecules in a single step, the use of asymmetric catalysis for the capture of arynes remains a crucial goal for the progress of aryne chemistry. Catalytic asymmetric reactions of arenes are challenging, requiring sufficient interactions between the neutral and highly reactive short-lived aryne intermediates in a stereo-controlled fashion. In addition, spontaneous decomposition, as well as side reactions, has hindered their development and, until recently, highly enantioselective reactions using arynes had remained elusive. This Review highlights asymmetric reactions using arynes, featuring diastereoselective, enantioselective and catalytic enantioselective reactions.

Abstract
The synthetic methodologies for the α-functionalization of free carboxylic acids through the enediolate intermediates are summarized in this review. In general, the enediolates could be generated in situ or transiently from free carboxylic acids with a stoichiometric or catalytic amount of protection reagents, including metal, boron, and silicon reagents. The in situ or transient generated enediolates were subsequently subjected to racemic or asymmetric reactions with various electrophiles, producing the α-functionalized free carboxylic acids in a single step. In addition, the enediolate could undergo an α-oxidation reaction with TEMPO through the radical process.

Abstract
Stereoselective construction of unprotected β-amino acids is a significant challenge owing to the lack of methods for the catalytic generation of highly enantioenriched carboxylic acid enolates. In this study, a novel copper-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective reductive Mannich-type reaction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids was developed, which provides a direct and scalable synthetic method for enantioenriched β2,3,3 -amino acids with vicinal stereogenic centers. The protocol features in situ generation of transiently protected carboxylic acids by a hydrosilane and their diastereo- and enantioselective reductive coupling with ketimines. The synthetic utility of this process was demonstrated by a gram-scale reaction and the transformation of β-amino acids.

Abstract
Catalytic, chemoselective, and asymmetric α-functionalizations of carboxylic acids promise up-grading simple feedstock materials to value-added functional molecules, as well as late-stage structural diversifications of multifunctional molecules, such as drugs and their leads. In this personal account, we describe boron-catalyzed α-functionalizations of carboxylic acids developed in our group (five reaction types). The reversible boron carboxylate formation is key to the acidification of the α-protons and enolization using mild organic bases, allowing for chemoselective and asymmetric bond formations of carboxylic acids. The ligand effects on reactivity and stereoselectivity, substrate scopes, and mechanistic insights are summarized.

Abstract
A cooperative tertiary amine/palladium-catalyzed sequential reaction process, proceeding via a [4 + 3] cyclization of isatin-derived Morita-Baylis-Hillman Expansion (MBH) carbonates and tert-butyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)allyl carbonates followed by a [1,3]-rearrangement, has been found and developed. A range of structurally diverse spiro[methylene cyclopentane-1,3'-oxindolines] bearing two adjacent β,γ-acyl quaternary carbon stereocenters, which are difficult to obtain by conventional strategies, were obtained in good yields. Further synthetic utility of this protocol is highlighted by its excellent regio- and stereocontrol as well as the large-scale synthesis and diverse functional transformations of the synthetic compounds. Moreover, the control experiments probably established the plausible mechanism for this sequential [4 + 3] cyclization/[1,3]-rearrangement process.

Abstract
A single-flask cascade of Michael addition and Wittig olefination was developed to allow the stereoselective α-allylic alkylation of α-branched N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimines for the construction of acyclic quaternary stereocenters bearing two sterically and electronically similar substituents. In this process, tBuOK-promoted stereoselective α-deprotonation gives fully substituted aza-enolates with a stereodefined geometry, Michael addition with α,β-unsaturated phosphonates generates C-C bonds with exceptional stereocontrol, and finally paraformaldehyde trapping of the conjugate addition intermediate generates functionalized α-allylated imines.

Abstract
A method for regioselective palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of ambident nitrogen heterocycles, employing simple allylic alcohols as electrophile precursors, is described. An organoboron co-catalyst serves both to activate the azole-type nucleophile toward selective N-functionalization and to accelerate the formation of a π-allylpalladium complex from the allylic alcohol. The method can be applied to various heterocycle types, including 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazoles, tetrazoles, pyrazoles, and purines, and can be extended to substituted allylic alcohol partners.

Abstract
Medium-sized rings are important structural units, but their synthesis, especially in a highly enantioselective manner, has been a great challenge. Herein we report an enantioselective synthesis of medium-sized-ring lactones by an iridium-catalyzed Z-retentive asymmetric allylic substitution reaction. The reaction features mild conditions and a broad substrate scope. Various eight- to 11-membered-ring lactones can be afforded in moderate to excellent yields (up to 88%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). The utilization of both Z-allyl precursors and an Ir catalyst is critical for the medium-sized-ring formation.

Abstract
Amides are one of the most fundamental chemical bonds in nature. In addition to proteins and other metabolites, many valuable synthetic products comprise amide bonds. Despite this, there is a need for more sustainable amide synthesis. Herein, we report an integrated next generation multi-catalytic system, merging nitrile hydratase enzymes with a Cu-catalysed N-arylation reaction in a single reaction vessel, for the construction of ubiquitous amide bonds. This synergistic one-pot combination of chemo- and biocatalysis provides an amide bond disconnection to precursors, that are orthogonal to those in classical amide synthesis, obviating the need for protecting groups and delivering amides in a manner unachievable using existing catalytic regimes. Our integrated approach also affords broad scope, very high (molar) substrate loading, and has excellent functional group tolerance, telescoping routes to natural product derivatives, drug molecules, and challenging chiral amides under environmentally friendly conditions at scale. Proteins, other metabolites and many valuable synthetic products contain amide bonds and there is a need for more sustainable amide synthesis routes. Here the authors show an integrated next generation multi-catalytic system, merging nitrile hydratase enzymes with a Cu-catalysed N-arylation reaction in a single reaction vessel, for the construction of ubiquitous amide bonds.

Abstract
We have developed the first enantioselective reductive aldol reaction of unprotected α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids by employing a copper/bisphosphine catalyst. The reaction features in situ protection and activation of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid by a hydrosilane. The copper enolate formed in situ reacts with a ketone to afford the β-hydroxy carboxylic acid with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). The corresponding gram-scale reaction with a low catalyst loading and the derivatization of the β-hydroxy carboxylic acids highlight the practicality of this transformation.

Abstract
Acyclic quaternary carbon stereocenters exist widely in natural products and bioactive molecules, but their enantioselective construction remains a prominent challenge. In particular, multicomponent enantioselective couplings of simple precursors to acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters are very rare. We describe herein an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-Ni catalyzed redox-economical three-component reaction of aldehydes, alkynes, and enones that proceeds in a highly chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective manner. A wide variety of valuable acyclic α-quaternary chiral ketones were synthesized in a single step with 100% atom economy. This reaction proceeds through the formation of a transient cyclic enolate followed by an aldol reaction/ring-opening sequence. The strategy is expected to inspire new and efficient approaches to generate other acyclic quaternary stereocenters.

Abstract
Chiral carboxylic acids bearing an α-stereogenic center constitute the backbone of many natural products and therapeutic reagents as well as privileged chiral ligands and catalysts. Hence, it is not surprising that a large number of elegant catalytic asymmetric strategies have been developed toward the efficient synthesis of α-chiral carboxylic acids, such as α-hydroxy acids and α-amino acids. In this review, the recent advances in asymmetric synthesis of α-stereogenic free carboxylic acids via organocatalysis and transition metal catalysis are summarized (mainly from 2010 to 2020). The content is organized by the reaction type of the carboxyl source involved, including asymmetric functionalization of substituted carboxylic acids, cyclic anhydrides, α-keto acids, substituted α,β-unsaturated acids and so on. We hope that this review will motivate further interest in catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral α-substituted carboxylic acids.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction is among the most useful reactions in organic synthesis. Despite the existence of many prominent reports, however, the late-stage, chemoselective, catalytic, asymmetric aldol reaction of multifunctional substrates is still difficult to achieve. Herein, we identified that in situ pre-conversion of carboxylic acids to siloxy esters facilitated the boron-catalyzed direct aldol reaction, leading to the development of carboxylic acid-selective, catalytic, asymmetric aldol reaction applicable to multifunctional substrates. Combining experimental and computational studies rationalized the reaction mechanism and led to the proposal of Si/B enediolates as the active species. The silyl ester formation facilitated both enolization and catalyst turnover by acidifying the α-proton of substrates and attenuating poisonous Lewis bases to the boron catalyst.

Abstract
The asymmetric alkylation of enolates is a particularly versatile method for the construction of α-stereogenic carbonyl motifs, which are ubiquitous in synthetic chemistry. Over the past several decades, the focus has shifted to the development of new catalytic methods that depart from classical stoichiometric stereoinduction strategies (e.g., chiral auxiliaries, chiral alkali metal amide bases, chiral electrophiles, etc.). In this way, the enantioselective alkylation of prochiral enolates greatly improves the step- and redox-economy of this process, in addition to enhancing the scope and selectivity of these reactions. In this review, we summarize the origin and advancement of catalytic enantioselective enolate alkylation methods, with a directed emphasis on the union of prochiral nucleophiles with carbon-centered electrophiles for the construction of α-stereogenic carbonyl derivatives. Hence, the transformative developments for each distinct class of nucleophile (e.g., ketone enolates, ester enolates, amide enolates, etc.) are presented in a modular format to highlight the state-of-the-art methods and current limitations in each area.

Abstract
This Review compiles the evolution, mechanistic understanding, and more recent advances in enantioselective Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution and decarboxylative and oxidative allylic substitutions. For each reaction, the catalytic data, as well as examples of their application to the synthesis of more complex molecules, are collected. Sections in which we discuss key mechanistic aspects for high selectivity and a comparison with other metals (with advantages and disadvantages) are also included. For Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution, the catalytic data are grouped according to the type of nucleophile employed. Because of the prominent position of the use of stabilized carbon nucleophiles and heteronucleophiles, many chiral ligands have been developed. To better compare the results, they are presented grouped by ligand types. Pd-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative reactions are mainly promoted by PHOX or Trost ligands, which justifies organizing this section in chronological order. For asymmetric oxidative allylic substitution the results are grouped according to the type of nucleophile used.

Abstract
We report a method to prepare α-chiral carboxylic acid derivatives, including those bearing all-carbon quaternary centers, through an enantioselective CuH-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of allenes with a commercially available fluoroformate. A broad range of heterocycles and functional groups on the allenes were tolerated in this protocol, giving enantioenriched α-quaternary and tertiary carboxylic acid derivatives in good yields with exclusive branched regioselectivity. The synthetic utility of this approach was further demonstrated by derivatization of the products to afford biologically important compounds, including the antiplatelet drug indobufen.

Abstract
ConspectusWhile spectacular successes have been achieved in homogeneous catalysis with the use of achiral diphosphine ligands featuring a wide natural bite angle, such as XantPhos, chiral diphosphines that can induce a large P-M-P bite angle in their transition metal complexes are conspicuously less explored in asymmetric catalysis, probably due to the challenges in the identification and efficient construction of a suitable chiral backbone. In the past decade, a highly efficient synthesis of chiral aromatic spiroketals and the corresponding diphosphine ligands (SKPs) has been developed in this group.Based on a one-pot catalytic tandem double asymmetric hydrogenation-spiroketalization ring-closure reaction sequence, these SKP ligands featuring an extraordinarily long P···P distance and a flexible backbone have been readily prepared in large scale. Remarkably versatile coordination modes have been found in the complexes of SKP with some catalysis-relevant transition metals, for example, Pd, Cu, Au, and Rh. Whereas SKP enforces an unusually large bite angle in [Pd(SKP)Cl2] and [Cu(SKP)Cl] complexes (160.1° and 132.8°, respectively), it also allows for a bimetallic Au-Au interaction (3.254 Å) in the complex of [Au2(SKP)Cl2] or a square-planar coordination geometry for the [Rh(SKP)(cod)]SbF6 complex. Such an adaptable nature of SKP ligands for transition metal coordination has profound consequences in homogeneous asymmetric catalysis, as demonstrated by their unique performance in several types of catalytic asymmetric reactions. One of the most exciting examples is SKP/Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts, in which SKP/Pd complexes demonstrated excellent control of regio- and enantioselectivities and exhibited exceptionally high efficiency (with a TON up to 4750) in the catalysis. SKP ligands have also found a diversity of successful applications in Cu-, Au-, or Rh-catalyzed asymmetric reactions, further attesting their wide utilities in asymmetric catalysis. Overall, this class of readily accessible SKP ligands featuring a chiral aromatic spiroketal skeleton have demonstrated unique adaptable structures in a variety of transition metal complexes and provided outstanding performance in some difficult asymmetric transformations. The works delineated herein would be expected to stimulate further research efforts on the application of this type of chiral ligand and to provide useful clues in the design of new chiral diphosphine ligands with adaptable bite angles for transition metal catalyzed asymmetric reactions.

Abstract
The development of the palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of in situ generated boron enolates via tandem 1,4-hydroboration is reported. Investigation of the reaction revealed insights into specific catalyst electronic features as well as a profound leaving group effect that proved crucial for achieving efficient allylic alkylation of ester enolates at room temperature and ultimately a highly preparatively useful synthesis of notoriously challenging acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. The method demonstrates boron enolates as viable pro-nucleophiles in transition-metal catalyzed allylic alkylation, potentially opening up further transformations outside their traditional use.

Abstract
A boron-catalyzed α-amination of simple carboxylic acids was developed. Catalytically generated boron enolates of carboxylic acids reacted with an electrophilic aminating reagent, diisopropylazodicarboxylate, to provide amino acid derivatives. The catalysis afforded not only α-monosubstituted glycine derivatives but also α,α-disubstituted derivatives. The resulting α-aminocarboxylic acid was easily converted to carboxylic acid derivatives. Extension to a catalytic asymmetric variant was possible by introducing a chiral ligand on the boron catalyst.

Abstract
The first enantioselective Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of fully substituted N-acyl indole-derived enol carbonates generates acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters in excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) using a new electron-deficient phosphinoxazoline (PHOX) ligand.
The first enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of fully substituted N-acyl indole-derived enol carbonates forming acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters is reported. Excellent yields up to 99% and enantioselectivities up to 98% ee are obtained through the use of a new electron-deficient phosphinoxazoline (PHOX) ligand. Control of substrate enolate geometry is crucial for high selectivity. The obtained α-quaternary N-acyl indoles are formal ester equivalents, and represent a useful handle for further synthetic transformations.

Abstract
Decarboxylative cross-coupling of aliphatic acid anhydrides with vinyl triflates or halides was accomplished via nickel catalysis. This methodology works well with a broad array of substrates and features abundant functional group tolerance. Notably, our approach addresses the issue of safe and environmental installation of methyl or ethyl group into molecular scaffolds. The method possesses high chemoselectivity toward alkyl groups when aliphatic/aromatic mixed anhydrides are involved. Furthermore, diverse ketones could be modified with our strategy.

Abstract
Iridium complexes modified by the chiral phosphine ligand PhanePhos catalyze the 2-propanol-mediated reductive coupling of diverse 1,1-disubstituted allenes 1a-1u with fluoral hydrate 2a to form CF3-substituted secondary alcohols 3a-3u that incorporate acyclic quaternary carbon-containing stereodiads. By exploiting concentration-dependent stereoselectivity effects related to the interconversion of kinetic ( Z)- and thermodynamic ( E)-σ-allyliridium isomers, adducts 3a-3u are formed with complete levels of branched regioselectivity and high levels of anti-diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The utility of this method for construction of CF3-oxetanes and CF3-azetidines is illustrated by the formation of 4a and 6a, respectively. Studies of the reaction mechanism aimed at illuminating the singular effectiveness of PhanePhos as a supporting ligand in this and related transformations have led to the identification of a chromatographically stable cyclometalated iridium-( R)-PhanePhos complex, Ir-PP-I, that is catalytically competent for allene-fluoral reductive coupling and previously reported transfer hydrogenative C-C couplings of dienes or CF3-allenes with methanol. Deuterium labeling studies, reaction progress kinetic analysis (RPKA) and computational studies corroborate a catalytic mechanism involving rapid allene hydrometalation followed by turnover-limiting carbonyl addition. A computationally determined stereochemical model shows that the ortho-CH2 group of the cyclometalated iridium-PhanePhos complex plays a key role in directing diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The collective data provide key insights into the structural-interactional features of allyliridium complexes required to enforce nucleophilic character, which should inform the design of related cyclometalated catalysts for umpoled allylation.

Abstract
The first enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of fully substituted acyclic enol carbonates providing linear α-quaternary ketones is reported. Investigation into the reaction revealed that the use of an electron-deficient phosphinooxazoline ligand renders the enolate geometry of the starting material inconsequential, with the same enantiomer of product obtained in the same level of selectivity regardless of the starting ratio of enolates. As a result, a general method toward acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has been developed.
