Abstract
A modular synthetic approach to strategically unique structural analogues of the alkaloid yohimbine is reported. The overall synthetic strategy couples the transition-metal-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation of 2,2-diphenylglycinate imino esters with a scandium triflate-mediated highly endo-selective intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) cycloaddition to generate a small collection of de-rigidified yohimbine analogues lacking the ethylene linkage between the indole and decahydroisoquinoline units. One compound generated in this study contains an unprecedented pentacyclic urea core and appears to demonstrate increased cytotoxicity against the gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 in comparison to a pancreatic cancer cell line (PATU-8988) and a normal human gastric mucosal cell line (GES-1).

Abstract
Allylation of nucleophiles with highly reactive electrophiles like allyl halides can be conducted without metal catalysts. Less reactive electrophiles, such as allyl esters and carbonates, usually require a transition metal catalyst to facilitate the allylation. Herein, we report a unique transition-metal-free allylation strategy with allyl ether electrophiles. Reaction of a host of allyl ethers with 2-azaallyl anions delivers valuable homoallylic amine derivatives (up to 92%), which are significant in the pharmaceutical industry. Interestingly, no deprotonative isomerization or cyclization of the products were observed. The potential synthetic utility and ease of operation is demonstrated by a gram scale telescoped preparation of a homoallylic amine. In addition, mechanistic studies provide insight into these C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond-forming reactions.

Abstract
Here we report a general and mild approach to prepare α-branched aliphatic amines from imines. This method capitalizes on a cobalt-catalyzed umpolung alkylation of imines, employs easily available reaction partners, and demonstrates a broad substrate scope. Mechanistic studies suggest this transformation occurs by a radical pathway.

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
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
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
The first nickel-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative allylation (DcA) of allyl 2,2-diarylglycinate imines is reported. This transformation utilizes a chiral ferrocenyl bidentate ligand and a Ni(0) precatalyst to mediate the decarboxylative generation and asymmetric allylation of 2-azaallyl anions, affording α-aryl homoallylic imines in modest-to-high yields and moderate-to-high enantiomeric ratios. The resulting Ni-catalyzed transformation proved to be less general in comparison to our previously reported analogous Pd-mediated protocol, but it still exhibited certain advantages in regard to the regio- and enantioselectivity of the C-C bond formation.

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
A strategy toward the preparation of substituted allyl aryl ethers from benzoic acids via a dearomatization and decarboxylative allylation (DcA) reaction is presented. The benzoic acids undergo a dearomatization to give alkylated 2,5-cyclohexadienyl ketoesters which are subjected to a palladium-catalyzed DcA reaction, providing a variety of functionalized allyl aryl ethers. In addition, the combination of a resonance stabilized DcA reaction with a Claisen rearrangement for the synthesis of multisubstituted phenols and applying to dihydroplicatin B derivative synthesis is also presented.

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
An intramolecular aminative Umpolung cyclization strategy has been developed by using α,α-diphenylglycine (2) as the amination and Umpolung reagent. Aldehydes (1) bearing an additional carbonyl group underwent condensation with α,α-diphenylglycine to form an imine, decarboxylation to generate a delocalized 2-azaallylanion, and subsequent intramolecular Umpolung cyclization to produce a variety of exocyclic β-amino alcohols (6) in 60-93% yields with up to >20:1 trans/cis selectivity under mild conditions.

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.

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
The impact of the steric and electronic factors in both the para-substituted benzaldimine and 2,2-diarylglycine components on the regioselectivity and enantioselectivity of the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation of allyl 2,2-diarylglycinate aryl imines was explored. These studies revealed that using 2,2-di(2-methoxyphenyl)glycine as the amino acid linchpin allowed for the exclusive synthesis of the desired homoallylic benzophenone imine regioisomers, independent of the nature of the imine moiety, in typically high yields. The resulting enantiomeric ratios, however, are slightly decreased in comparison to the transformations involving the corresponding allyl 2,2-diphenylglycinate imines, but this is more than balanced out by the increases in yield and regioselectivity. Overall, these studies suggest a general strategy for the highly regioselective functionalization of 2-azaallyl anions.

Both the metal catalyst and the phase-transfer catalyst are crucial for this methodology. The reaction features good yields, high diastereo- and enantio-selectivities, ease of scale-up to gram scale and further transformation of the products (e.g. to quaternary proline analogues with multi stereocenters).

Abstract
Direct oxidation of α-CH2 group of free amines is hard to achieve due to the higher reactivity of amine moiety. Therefore, oxidation of amines involves the use of sophisticated metallic reagents/catalyst in the presence or absence of hazardous oxidants under sensitive reaction conditions. A novel method for direct C-H oxygenation of aliphatic amines through a metal-free activation of molecular oxygen has been developed. Both activated and unactivated free amines were oxygenated efficiently to provide a wide variety of amides (primary, secondary) and lactams under operationally simple conditions without the aid of metallic reagents and toxic oxidants. The method has been applied to the synthesis of highly functionalized amide-containing medicinal drugs, such as O-Me-alibendol and -buclosamide.

Abstract
We report the direct preparation of 1,3-amino alcohols that contain up to three contiguous stereogenic centers by the umpolung coupling of imines and epoxides. Nucleophilic 2-azaallyl anions, generated from imines, are stereoselectively added to epoxides to furnish 1,3-amino alcohols after hydrolysis of the product imine. Transformations afford amino alcohols with >98% site selectivity with respect to both reaction partners and in up to >98% yield and >20:1 dr.

Abstract
The first direct catalytic asymmetric synthesis of γ-amino ketones was realized by the development of a highly diastereoselective and enantioselective C-C bond-forming umpolung reaction of imines and enones under the catalysis of a new cinchona alkaloid-derived phase-transfer catalyst. In a loading ranging from 0.02 to 2.5 mol %, the catalyst activates a broad range of trifluoromethyl imines and aldimines as nucleophiles to engage in chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective C-C bond-forming reactions with acyclic and cyclic enones, thereby converting these readily available prochiral starting materials into highly enantiomerically enriched chiral γ-amino ketones in synthetically useful yields. Enabled by this unprecedented umpolung reaction of imines, conceptually new and concise routes were developed for the asymmetric synthesis of nitrogen-heterocycles such as pyrrolidines and indolizidines.

Abstract
The carbon-nitrogen double bonds in imines are fundamentally important functional groups in organic chemistry. This is largely due to the fact that imines act as electrophiles towards carbon nucleophiles in reactions that form carbon-carbon bonds, thereby serving as one of the most widely used precursors for the formation of amines in both synthetic and biosynthetic settings. If the carbon atom of the imine could be rendered electron-rich, the imine could react as a nucleophile instead of as an electrophile. Such a reversal in the electronic characteristics of the imine functionality would facilitate the development of new chemical transformations that convert imines into amines via carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions with carbon electrophiles, thereby creating new opportunities for the efficient synthesis of amines. The development of asymmetric umpolung reactions of imines (in which the imines act as nucleophiles) remains uncharted territory, in spite of the far-reaching impact such reactions would have in organic synthesis. Here we report the discovery and development of new chiral phase-transfer catalysts that promote the highly efficient asymmetric umpolung reactions of imines with the carbon electrophile enals. These catalysts mediate the deprotonation of imines and direct the 2-azaallyl anions thus formed to react with enals in a highly chemoselective, regioselective, diastereoselective and enantioselective fashion. The reaction tolerates a broad range of imines and enals, and can be carried out in high yield with as little as 0.01 mole per cent catalyst with a moisture- and air-tolerant operational protocol. These umpolung reactions provide a conceptually new and practical approach to chiral amino compounds.
