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
C - N axially chiral compounds have recently attracted significant interest among synthetic chemistry community due to their widespread application in pharmaceuticals, advanced materials and organic synthesis. Although the emerging asymmetric Catellani reaction offers great opportunity for their modular and efficient preparation, the only operative chiral NBE strategy to date requires using half stoichiometric amount of chiral NBE and 2,6-disubstituted bromoarenes as electrophiles. We herein report an efficient assembly of C-N axially chiral scaffolds through a distinct chiral ligand strategy. The crucial chiral source, a biimidazoline (BiIM) chiral dinitrogen ligand, is used in relatively low loading and permits the use of less bulky bromoarenes. The method also features the use of feedstock plain NBE, high reactivity, good enantioselectivity, ease of operation and scale-up. Applications in the preparation of chiral optoelectronic material candidates featuring two C-N chiral axes and a chiral ligand for asymmetric C-H activation have also been demonstrated.

Abstract
An efficient catalytic asymmetric Michael-type reaction of azonaphthalenes with 5-aminoisoxazoles has been developed. The reaction was based on the utilization of a chiral phosphoric acid as the catalyst, delivering a large panel of axially chiral heterobiaryl diamines in generally good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The gram-scale reaction and postmodification of the chiral product demonstrated their potentials in the synthesis of chiral catalysts and ligands. This approach not only provides a useful method for the construction of pentatomic heterobiaryl scaffolds but also offers new members to the axially chiral diamine family with promising applications in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Controlling product selectivity in successive reactions of the same type is challenging owing to the comparable thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the reactions involved. Here, the synergistic interaction of the two phosphoryl groups in bisphosphine dioxides (BPDOs) with a bromo-phosphonium cation was studied experimentally to provide a practical tool for substrate-catalyst recognition. As the eventual result, we have developed a phosphonium-catalyzed monoreduction of chiral BPDOs to access an array of synthetically useful bisphosphine monoxides (BPMOs) with axial, spiro, and planar chirality, which are otherwise challenging to synthesize before. The reaction features excellent selectivity and impressive reactivity. It proceeds under mild conditions, avoiding the use of superstoichiometric amounts of additives and metal catalysts to simplify the synthetic procedure. The accessibility and scalability of the reaction allowed for the rapid construction of a ligand library for optimization of asymmetric Heck-type cyclization, laying the foundation for a broad range of applications of chiral BPMOs in catalysis.

Abstract
The efficient cross-dehydrogenative coupling of electronically rich and sterically congested benzofulvene with bi-(hetero)aryl moieties to construct an axially chiral benzofulvene core remains a formidable task. In this study, we describe a highly efficient and practical palladium-catalyzed approach for atroposelective bi-(hetero)aryl benzofulvene synthesis, achieving excellent enantioselectivity with moderate yields. This protocol offers a remarkable opportunity for the direct regio- and enantioselective conversion of C-H bonds of benzofulvene to C-C bonds. Furthermore, the protocol permits the incorporation of benzofulvene with a 4-phenyl coumarin core, enabling access to a novel class of axially chiral coumarins.

Abstract
Axially chiral open-chained olefins are an underexplored class of atropisomers, whose enantioselective synthesis represents a daunting challenge due to their relatively low racemization barrier. We herein report rhodium(I)-catalyzed hydroarylative cyclization of 1,6-diynes with three distinct classes of arenes, enabling highly enantioselective synthesis of a broad range of axially chiral 1,3-dienes that are conformationally labile (ΔG≠ (rac)=26.6-28.0 kcal/mol). The coupling reactions in each category proceeded with excellent enantioselectivity, regioselectivity, and Z/E selectivity under mild reaction conditions. Computational studies of the coupling of quinoline N-oxide system reveal that the reaction proceeds via initial oxidative cyclization of the 1,6-diyne to give a rhodacyclic intermediate, followed by σ-bond metathesis between the arene C-H bond and the Rh-C(vinyl) bond, with subsequent C-C reductive elimination being enantio-determining and turnover-limiting. The DFT-established mechanism is consistent with the experimental studies. The coupled products of quinoline N-oxides undergo facile visible light-induced intramolecular oxygen-atom transfer, affording chiral epoxides with complete axial-to-central chirality transfer.

Abstract
Axially chiral five-membered heterobiaryls synthesized by enantioselective catalysis typically feature large ortho-substituents or a heteroatom in the chiral axis to maintain a stable configuration. Herein we report a cation-directed catalytic enantioselective desymmetrization method that enables rapid access to axially chiral imidazoles with the basic nitrogen at the ortho position and efficiently integrates π-stacking moieties to ensure a stable axial configuration for further applications. The process is operationally simple, is highly enantioselective, and can be performed on the gram scale. The majority of the products are obtained in >90% ee, but interestingly even those with only moderate ee can readily be enriched to near optical purity by selective racemate crystallization. Together with a mild phosphine oxide reduction method, axially chiral imidazoles such as StackPhos and its derivatives are readily prepared in high yield and excellent enantioselectivity on the gram scale. The method also enables the preparation of new chiral non-phosphine-bearing imidazoles.

Abstract
An axially chiral styrene-based organocatalyst, featuring a combination of axially chiral styrene-based structure and a pyrrole ring, has been designed and synthesized. This catalyst demonstrates remarkable capabilities in producing a wide range of densely substituted spirooxindoles that feature an alkyne-substituted quaternary stereogenic center. These spirooxindoles are generated through mild cascade Michael/cyclization reactions, resulting in high conversion rates and exceptional enantioselectivity. Our catalytic model, based on experiments, X-ray structure analysis and DFT calculations suggests that chiral matched π-π interactions and multiple H-bonds between the organocatalyst and substrates play significant roles in controlling the stereoselectivity of the reaction.

Abstract
We herein report a general and efficient enantioselective C-H arylation of aryl bromides based on the use of BozPhos as the bisphosphine ligand and SP-NHC-PdII as recoverable heterogeneous catalyst. By exploiting the "release and catch" mechanism of action of the catalytic system, we used BozPhos as a broadly applicable chiral ligand, furnishing high enantioselectivities across all types of examined substrates containing methyl, cyclopropyl and aryl C-H bonds. For each reaction, the reaction scope was investigated, giving rise to 30 enantioenriched products, obtained with high yields and enantioselectivities, and minimal palladium leaching. The developed catalytic system provides a more sustainable solution compared to homogeneous systems for the synthesis of high added-value chiral products through recycling of the precious metal.

Abstract
The three-dimensional structure of carbohelicenes has fascinated generations of molecular chemists and has been exploited in a wide range of applications. Their strong circularly polarized luminescence has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to promising applications in new optical materials. Although the enantioselective synthesis of fused carbo- and heterohelicenes has been achieved, a direct catalytic enantioselective method allowing the synthesis of lower, non-fused carbo[n]helicenes (n = 4-6) is still lacking. We report here that Pd-catalysed enantioselective C-H arylation in the presence of a unique bifunctional phosphine-carboxylate ligand provides a simple and general access to these lower carbo[n]helicenes. Computational mechanistic studies indicate that both the C-H activation and reductive elimination steps contribute to the overall enantioselectivity. The observed enantio-induction seems to arise from a combination of non-covalent interactions and steric repulsion between the substrate and ligand during the two key reductive elimination steps. The photophysical and chiroptical properties of the synthesized scalemic [n]helicenes have been systematically studied.

Abstract
Given the comparatively lower rotational barriers, the catalytic asymmetric construction of axially chiral biaryl structures, especially those containing a five-membered heterocycle, still remains a challenge. Herein, we described a general and modular protocol to access atropisomeric arylpyrazole scaffolds containing a phosphorus unit by a dipeptide phosphonium salt catalyzed reaction involving an oxidative central-to-axial chirality conversion. This reaction features excellent yields and enantioselectivities, broad substrate scope, and a low catalyst loading, delivering axially chiral phosphine compounds.

Abstract
ConspectusThe expanding applications of atropisomeric compounds combined with the growing diversity of such chiral molecules translate into an urgent need for innovative synthetic strategies allowing their rapid, efficient, and sustainable synthesis. Recently, the C-H activation approach has provided new opportunities for synthesizing axially chiral compounds. The two complementary approaches allowing implementation of the C-H activation methodology toward the synthesis of the chiral molecules imply either ortho-functionalization of the preexisting prochiral or atropo-unstable biaryl substrates or direct C-H arylation of sterically encumbered aromatics. The first approach required the preinstallation of a directing group on a biaryl precursor, which drastically limits the diversity of thus generated products. To tackle this important synthetic limitation, we have envisioned using a chiral sulfoxide as both directing group and chiral auxiliary. Indeed, in addition to efficiently coordinating the Pd-catalyst thus allowing chiral induction, the sulfoxide moiety can be easily removed, via the sulfoxide/lithium exchange, after the C-H activation step, thus guaranteeing an almost unlimited postdiversification of the atropisomeric products. The efficiency and generality of this concept could be illustrated by developing atropo-diastereoselective oxidative Heck reaction, direct acetoxylation, and iodination, as well as direct arylation. Besides, the synthetic utility of this methodology was demonstrated by designing an expedient synthesis of a direct steganone precursor. This unique transformation also allowed us to build up unprecedented triaryl scaffolds with two perfectly controlled chiral axes, original chiral skeletons for new ligand design. While considering the atroposelective direct arylations, the clear antagonism between the harsh reaction conditions frequently required for the coupling of two sterically hindered compounds and the atropo-stability of the new product, resulted in the scarcity of such transformations. To solve this fundamental challenge, we have focused on the application of a low-valent cobalt catalyst, prompted to catalyze C-H activation of indoles at the C2 position under extremely mild reaction conditions (room temperature). Accordingly, atroposelective C2-arylation of indoles could be achieved using an original carbene ligand and delivering the uncommon atropoisomerically pure indoles in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Detailed combined experimental and theoretical mechanistic studies shed light on the mechanism of this transformation, providing strong evidence regarding the origin of the enantioselectivity. Finally, the antagonism between steric hindrance required to guarantee the atropo-stability of a molecule and harsh reaction conditions required to couple two partners is a strong limitation not only for the development of atroposelective C-H arylation reaction but also for the development of direct synthesis of the C-N axially chiral compounds. Despite the long history and incredible advances achieved in Ullmann-Goldberg and Buchwald-Hartwig couplings, atroposelective versions of such transformations have remained unprecedented until recently. Our idea to tackle this challenging issue consisted in using hypervalent iodines as highly reactive coupling partners, thus allowing the desired N-arylations to occur at room temperature. This hypothesis could be validated by reporting first atropo-diastereoselective Cu-catalyzed N-arylation, using sulfoxide λ3-iodanes as the coupling partners. Subsequently, the enantioselective version of this atroposelective N-arylation was successfully established by using a chiral Cu-complex bearing a BOX ligand. In conclusion, we report herein designing tailored-made solutions to provide new synthetic strategies to construct the atropisomeric molecules, including biaryls and C-N axially chiral molecules.

Abstract
Axially chiral molecules bearing multiple stereogenic axes are of great importance in the field of organic chemistry. However, the efficient construction of atropisomers featuring two different types of stereogenic axes has rarely been explored. Herein, we report the novel atroposelective synthesis of configurationally stable axially chiral B,N-heterocycles. By using stepwise asymmetric allylic substitution-isomerization (AASI) strategy, diaxially chiral B,N-heterocycles bearing B-C and C-N axes that are related to the moieties of axially chiral enamines and arylborons were also obtained. In this case, all four stereoisomers of diaxially chiral B,N-heterocycles were stereodivergently afforded in high enantioselectivities. Density functional theory (DFT) studies demonstrated that the NH⋅⋅⋅π interactions played a unique role in the promotion of stereospecific isomerization, thereby leading to the highly efficient central-to-axial chirality transfer.

Abstract
Axially chiral heterobiaryl frameworks are privileged structures in many natural products, pharmaceutically active molecules, and chiral ligands. Therefore, a variety of approaches for constructing these skeletons have been developed. Among them, de novo synthesis, due to its highly convergent and superior atom economy, serves as a promising strategy to access these challenging scaffolds including C-N, C-C, and N-N chiral axes. So far, several elegant reviews on the synthesis of axially chiral heterobiaryl skeletons have been disclosed, however, atroposelective construction of the heterobiaryl subunits by de novo synthesis was rarely covered. Herein, we summarized the recent advances in the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of the axially chiral heterobiaryl scaffold via de novo synthetic strategies. The related mechanism, scope, and applications were also included.

Abstract
Enantioselective C-H activation has surfaced as a transformative toolbox for the efficient assembly of chiral molecules. However, despite of major advances in rhodium and palladium catalysis, ruthenium(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation has thus far largely proven elusive. In contrast, we herein report on a ruthenium(II)-catalyzed highly regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective C-H alkylation. The key to success was represented by the identification of novel C2-symmetric chiral imidazolidine carboxylic acids (CICAs), which are easily accessible in a one-pot fashion, as highly effective chiral ligands. This ruthenium/CICA system enabled the efficient installation of central and axial chirality, and featured excellent branched to linear ratios with generally >20 : 1 dr and up to 98 : 2 er. Mechanistic studies by experiment and computation were carried out to understand the catalyst mode of action.

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
An Ir(I)/squaramide cooperative catalytic strategy for atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral aryltriazoles has been developed for the first time. Diverse structurally novel aryltriazole skeletons that cannot be accessed by traditional click reactions were synthesized in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity. Both enantiomers were easily obtained from a pair of diastereoisomeric natural quinidine- and quinine-derived squaramides. A significant Ir(I)/squaramide coordination activation, but no self-quenching phenomenon was observed in this metal/organo cooperative catalytic system.

Abstract
Abstract1,2-Azoles are privileged structures in ligand/catalyst design and widely exist in many important natural products and drugs. In this report, two types of axially chiral 1,2-azoles (naphthyl-isothiazole S-oxides with a stereogenic sulfur center and atropoisomeric naphthyl pyrazoles) are synthesized via modified vinylidene ortho-quinone methide intermediates. Diverse products are acquired in satisfying yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities. The vinylidene ortho-quinone methide intermediates bearing two hetero atoms at 5-position have been demonstrated as a platform molecule for the atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral 1,2-azoles. This finding not only enrich our knowledge of vinylidene ortho-quinone methide chemistry but also provide the easy preparation method for diverse atropisomeric heterobiaryls that were inaccessible by existing methodologies. The obtained chiral naphthyl-isothiazole S-oxides and naphthyl-pyrazoles have demonstrated their potential application in further synthetic transformations and therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Significant advances have been achieved for the construction of chiral skeletons containing 1,2,3-triazoles via transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric azide-alkyne cycloaddition; however, most of them have been limited to terminal alkynes in the synthesis of central chirality via desymmetrization and dynamic/dynamic kinetic resolution. Enantioselective transition-metal-catalyzed azide-internal-alkyne cycloaddition is extremely limited. Moreover, the construction of a challenging five-membered (hetero)biaryl axially chiral molecule via transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric azide-internal-alkyne cycloaddition is still underexplored. Herein, we first report an atroposelective and atom-economical synthesis of axially chiral 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles, directly acting as core chiral units of challenging five-membered atropisomers, via the enantioselective Rh-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (E-RhAAC) of internal alkynes and azides. The reaction demonstrates excellent functional group tolerance, forging a variety of C-C axially chiral 1,2,3-triazoles under mild conditions with moderate to excellent yields (up to 99% yield) and generally high to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) along with specific regiocontrol. The origin of regio- and enantioselectivity control is disclosed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, providing new guidance for the facile construction of axially chiral compounds.

Abstract
We present herein our experimental and DFT computational studies on the directing ability of chalcogenoether motifs in Pd-catalyzed atroposelective C-H functionalization. The thioether motif was found to be a superior directing group compared to the corresponding ether and selenoether in terms of reactivity and enantiocontrol. Remarkably, DFT calculation provided a predictive model for the optimization of reaction conditions and the interpretation of the origin of enantioselectivity. Both Pd-catalyzed enantioselective C-H olefination and allylation reactions were successfully developed using chiral phosphoric acids as efficient ligands, providing a broad range of axially chiral biaryls in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The highly enantio- and diastereoselective construction of polyaryls bearing multiple stereogenic axes, gram-scale reaction and various chemical transformations make this protocol more attractive and significant.

Abstract
Organic compounds labeled with hydrogen isotopes play a crucial role in numerous areas, from materials science to medicinal chemistry. Indeed, while the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium gives rise to improved absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties in drugs and enables the preparation of internal standards for analytical mass spectrometry, the use of tritium-labeled compounds is a key technique all along drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry. For these reasons, the interest in new methodologies for the isotopic enrichment of organic molecules and the extent of their applications are equally rising. In this regard, this Review intends to comprehensively discuss the new developments in this area over the last years (2017-2021). Notably, besides the fundamental hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) reactions and the use of isotopically labeled analogues of common organic reagents, a plethora of reductive and dehalogenative deuteration techniques and other transformations with isotope incorporation are emerging and are now part of the labeling toolkit.

Abstract
Atropoisomeric (hetero)biaryls are scaffolds with increasing importance in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Although it is the most obvious disconnection to construct such compounds, the direct enantioselective C-H arylation through the concomitant induction of the chiral information remains extremely challenging and uncommon. Herein, the unprecedented earth-abundant 3d-metal-catalyzed atroposelective direct arylation is reported, furnishing rare atropoisomeric C2-arylated indoles. Kinetic studies and DFT computation revealed an uncommon mechanism for this asymmetric transformation, with the oxidative addition being the rate- and enantio-determining step. Excellent stereoselectivities were reached (up to 96% ee), while using an unusual N-heterocyclic carbene ligand bearing an essential remote substituent. Attractive dispersion interactions along with positive C-H---π interactions exerted by the ligand were identified as key factors to guarantee the excellent enantioselection.

Abstract
Thioethers allowed for highly atroposelective C–H olefinations by a palladium/chiral phosphoric acid catalytic system under ambient air. Both N–C and C–C axial chiral (hetero)biaryls were successfully constructed, leading to a broad range of axially chiral N-aryl indoles and biaryls with excellent enantioselectivities up to 99% ee. Experimental and computational studies were conducted to unravel the walking mode for the atroposelective C–H olefination. A plausible chiral induction model for the enantioselectivity-determining step was established by detailed DFT calculations. Thioethers allowed for highly atroposelective C–H olefinations by a palladium/chiral phosphoric acid catalytic system under ambient air.![]()

Abstract
Described herein is an imidazole ring formation strategy for the synthesis of axially chiral N-arylbenzimidazoles by means of chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. Two sets of conditions were developed to transform two classes of 2-naphthylamine derivatives into structurally diverse N-arylbenzimidazole atropisomers with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity as well as high levels of enantiocontrol. It is worth reflecting on the unique roles played by the nitroso group in this domino reaction. It functions as a linchpin by first offering an electrophilic site (N) for the initial C-N bond formation while the resulting amine performs the nucleophilic addition to form the second C-N bond. Additionally, it could facilitate the final oxidative aromatization as an oxidant. The atropisomeric products could be conveniently elaborated to a series of axially chiral derivatives, enabling the exploitation of N-arylbenzimidazoles for their potential utilities in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
AbstractTransition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric C–H functionalization has become a powerful strategy to synthesize complex chiral molecules. Recently, catalytic enantioselective C–H arylation has attracted great interest from organic chemists to construct aryl-substituted chiral compounds. In this short review, we highlight recent advances in asymmetric C–H arylation from 2019 to late 2021, including enantioselective C(sp2)–H arylation to construct axial or planar chiral compounds, and enantioselective C(sp3)–H arylation to introduce central chirality via desymmetrization of the methyl group or methylene C–H activation. These processes proceed with palladium, rhodium, iridium, nickel, or copper catalysts, and utilize aryl halides, boron, or diazo derivatives as arylation reagents.1 Introduction2 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation2.1 Chelation-Assisted Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation for the Construction of Atropisomer2.2 Chelation-Assisted Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation for the Construction of Planar Chiral Compounds2.3 Chelation-Assisted Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation and Axial-to-Central Chirality Transfer for the Construction of Spirocycles2.4 Other Asymmetric C(sp2)–H Arylation Reactions3 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Asymmetric C(sp3)–H Arylation3.1 Chelation-Assisted Enantioselective C(sp3)–H Arylation through Desymmetrization3.2 Chelation-Assisted Enantioselective Methylene C(sp3)–H Arylation3.3 Other Asymmetric C(sp3)–H Arylations4 Conclusion and Outlook

Abstract
Atropoisomeric biaryl motifs are widely found in natural products and bioactive compounds as well as chiral catalysts and ligands. Various efficient approaches have been disclosed for the construction of chiral six-six biaryl skeletons. In contrast, the enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral arylindoles through the strategy of de novo construction, other than the asymmetric functionalization of indoles, remain a challenging task. Herein we report an efficient Pd(0)/(S)-Segphos-catalyzed atroposelective Cacchi reaction of 2-alkynylanilines with sterically congested naphthyl halides, which afforded an array of naphthyl-C3-indoles in high yields with good to excellent atroposelectivities. The addition of water and the modulation of the manipulation procedure by premixing the palladium complex and the naphthyl halide were the keys to success. The conformational stability of the obtained axially chiral naphthyl-C3-indole containing a synthetically more-valuable free NH moiety is revealed through kinetic experiments.

Abstract
Chiral macrocycles possess significant value in chiral science and supramolecular chemistry. Pillararenes, as a class of relatively young supramolecular macrocyclic hosts, have been widely used for host-guest recognition and self-assembly. Since the position of substituents on the benzene rings breaks the molecular symmetry (symmetric plane and symmetric center), pillararenes possess planar chirality. However, it is a great challenge to synthesize stable and resolvable enantiomers because of the easy rotation of the phenylene group. In this review, we summarize the construction methods of resolvable chiral pillararenes. We also focus on their applications in enantioselective recognition, chiral switches, chirality sensing, asymmetric catalysis, circularly polarized luminescence, metal-organic frameworks, and highly permeable membranes. Finally, we discuss the future research perspectives in this field of pillararene-based planar chiral materials. We hope that this review will encourage more researchers to work in this exciting field.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective C-H functionalization has become a powerful strategy for the formation of C-C or C-X bonds, enabling the highly asymmetric synthesis of a wide range of enantioenriched compounds. Atropisomers are widely found in natural products and pharmaceutically relevant molecules, and have also found applications as privileged frameworks for chiral ligands and catalysts. Thus, research into asymmetric routes for the synthesis of atropisomers has garnered great interest in recent years. In this regard, transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective C-H functionalization has emerged as an atom-economic and efficient strategy toward their synthesis. In this Perspective, the approaches for the synthesis of atropisomers by transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric C-H functionalization reactions are summarized. The main focus here is on asymmetric catalysis via Pd, Rh, and Ir complexes, which have been the most frequently utilized catalysts among reported enantioselective C-H functionalization reactions. Finally, we discuss limitations on available protocols and give an outlook on possible future avenues of research.

Abstract
C-H bond activation has been established as an attractive strategy to access axially chiral biaryls, and the most straightforward method is direct C-H arylation of arenes. However, the arylating source has been limited to several classes of reactive and bulky reagents. Reported herein is rhodium-catalyzed 1:2 coupling of diarylphosphinic amides and diarylacetylenes for enantio- and diastereoselective construction of biaryls with both central and axial chirality. This twofold C-H activation reaction stays contrast to the previously explored Miura-Satoh type 1:2 coupling of arenes and alkynes in terms of chemoselectivity and proceeded under mild conditions with the alkyne acting as a rare arylating reagent. Both C-H activation events are stereo-determining and are under catalyst control, with the 2nd C-H activation being diastereo-determining in a remote fashion. Analysis of the stereochemistry of the major and side products suggests moderate enantioselectivity of the initial C-H activation-desymmetrization process. However, the minor (R) rhodium vinyl intermediate is consumed more readily in undesired protonolysis, eventually resulting in high enantio- and diastereoselectivity of the major product.
