Abstract
A ruthenium-catalyzed reductive amination via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) has been used to perform an efficient dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of N-aryl 2-formyl pyrroles decorated with a phosphine moiety positioned at the ortho' position. The strategy relies on the labilization of the stereogenic axis in the substrate facilitated by a transient Lewis acid-base interaction (LABI) between the carbonyl carbon and the phosphorus center. The reaction features broad substrate scope of aliphatic amines and N-aryl pyrrole scaffolds, and proceeds under very mild conditions to afford P,N atropisomers in good to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) for both diphenyl and dicyclohexylphosphino derivatives.

Abstract
A general and efficient method has been developed to access axially chiral 2-arylpyrroles using catalytic asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. A wide range of axially chiral arylpyrroles were obtained in high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities. The key to success is the use of a combined catalytic system involving a palladium catalyst and chiral ferrocene diphosphine ligand for achieving effective enantiocontrol. More importantly, this axially chiral CF3-substituted 2-arylpyrrole serves as a key intermediate in the preparation of the anti-hypertensive and diabetic nephropathy drug esaxerenone. It was directly asymmetrically synthesized with high enantioselectivity (92% ee). Thus, a new strategy is provided for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of esaxerenone.

Abstract
Distal biaxial atropisomers are typical structures in chiral catalysts and ligands and offer a wide variety of applications in biology and materials technology, but the development of efficient synthesis of these valuable scaffolds is still in great demand. Herein, we describe a highly efficient iridium catalyzed asymmetric C-H alkylation reaction that provides a range of new distal biaxial atropisomers with excellent yields (up to 99%) and stereoselectivity (up to 99% ee and essentially one isomer). Based on this unprecedented strategy, a polycyclic skeleton with five successive chiral centers as well as C-C and C-N (or N-N) two distal chiral axes was created successfully in mild circumstances. In addition, the optically pure products bearing fluorophores show circular polarized luminescence (CPL) properties, being potential candidate materials for CPL applications.

Abstract
The construction of atropisomers with 1,2-diaxes, while maintaining high enantiocontrol, presents a significant challenge due to the dynamic nature of steric hindrance at ortho-aryl substituents. Although various catalytic asymmetric methods have been developed for accessing axially chiral arylpyrroles, the synthesis of axially chiral arylpyrroles with 1,2-diaxes in a catalytic asymmetric manner has remained rare. Herein, the authors report the synthesis of diverse axially chiral arylpyrroles with 1,2-diaxes, and C-C and C-N axes through copper-catalysed asymmetirc [4 + 1] annulation of yne-allylic esters with arylamines via a remote stereocontrol strategy. This approach provides facile access to a broad range of heterobiaryl atropisomers (67 examples) in excellent enantioselectivities, each bearing one or two C-C/C-N axes, demonstrating its versatility and efficiency. The utility of this methodology is further highlighted by the transformation of the product into chiral phosphine ligand, and chiral thioureas for the use in asymmetric catalysis.

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
The development of new methods for regio- and stereoselective activation of C-O bonds in ethers holds significant promise for synthetic chemistry, offering advantages in terms of environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. Moreover, the C-N atropisomers represent a fascinating and crucial chiral system, extensively found in natural products, pharmaceutical leads, and the frameworks of advanced materials. In this work, we have introduced a nickel-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective carbon-oxygen arylation reaction for atroposelective synthesis of N-arylisoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones. The high regioselectivity of C-O cleavage benefits from the high stability of the in situ formed (amido)ethenolate via oxidative addition. Additionally, the self-activation of the aryl C-O bond facilitates the reaction under mild conditions, leading to outstanding enantioselectivities. The diverse post-functionalizations of the axially chiral isoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones further highlighted the utility of this protocol in preparing valuable C-N atropisomers, including the chiral phosphine ligands.

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
The C-N axially chiral N-arylpyrrole motifs are privileged scaffolds in numerous biologically active molecules and natural products, as well as in chiral ligands/catalysts. Asymmetric synthesis of N-arylpyrroles, however, is still challenging, and the simultaneous creation of contiguous C-N axial and central chirality remains unknown. Herein, a diastereo- and atroposelective synthesis of N-arylpyrroles enabled by light-induced phosphoric acid catalysis has been developed. The key transformation is a one-pot, three-component oxo-diarylation reaction, which simultaneously creates a C-N axial chirality and a central quaternary stereogenic center. A broad range of unactivated alkynes were readily employed as a reaction partner in this transformation, and the N-arylpyrrole products are obtained in good yields, with excellent enantioselectivities and very good diastereoselectivities. Notably, the N-arylpyrrole skeletons represent interesting structural motifs that could be used as chiral ligands and catalysts in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization of methylenecyclopropanes (MCP) has presented a considerable challenge due to the difficult manipulation of regioselectivity and complicated reaction patterns. Herein, we report a straightforward Pd-catalyzed ring-opening hydrophosphinylation reaction of MCP via highly selective C-C bond cleavage. This allows for rapid and efficient access to a wide range of chiral allylic phosphine oxides in good yields and high enantioselectivities. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism and the origin of product enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Chiral phosphoric acids (CPAs) have received considerable attention due to their high activity for enantioselective transformations. However, the role of various chiral skeletons of CPAs in regulating the mechanism and enantioselectivity of asymmetric transfer hydrogenation has remained unclear. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to elucidate the role of chiral skeletons on the acidity, mechanism, enantioselectivity, and kinetic stabilities of transition states (TSs) in Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogen (ATH) reaction catalyzed by five CPAs. We found that the acidity of CPAs is strongly dependent on the chiral skeleton. The origin of enantioselectivity of ATH reaction arises from the differential noncovalent interactions between TSs and CPAs. Moreover, the shape and size of the catalyst pocket depending on chiral skeletons play key roles in the stability of TSs and the enantioselectivity of ATH. This study might facilitate to design and computationally screening of CPAs and guide the strategic choice of CPA skeletons to reduce the experimental workload.

Abstract
The growing importance of axially chiral architectures in different scientific domains has unveiled shortcomings in terms of efficient synthetic access and skeletal variety. This account describes our strategies in answering these challenges within the organocatalytic context where the emergence of bifunctional catalysts such as chiral phosphoric acids (CPAs) has proven invaluable in controlling the sense of axial chirality. The wide occurrence of bi(hetero)aryl skeletons in privileged structures constitutes a strong motivation to devise more effective arylation methods. Our design revolves around modulating the intrinsic nucleophilicity of aromatic amines and alcohols. The first approach involves the design of an electron-withdrawing activating group which could associate with the catalyst for reactivity enhancement and selectivity control. The resonance of arenes offers the unique mechanistic possibility to select between activating sites. C2-Azo- and nitroso-substituted naphthalenes undergo atroposelective ortho C- or N-arylation with (hetero)aromatic nucleophiles. For monocyclic benzenes, programmable charge localization leads to regioselective activation by catalytic control alone or aided by substrate design. For instance, selective addition to nitroso nitrogen enables successive annulation initiated by the amine to yield axially chiral N-arylbenzimidazoles. In a biomimetic manner, a finely tuned catalyst could direct a para-selective nucleophilic approach in the atroposelective arylation of azobenzenes. The second strategy employs electrophilic arene precursors for arylation which occurs via rearomatization with central-to-axial chirality transfer. This enabled the arylation of (imino)quinones with indoles to access phenylindole atropisomers. By adapting this chemistry with an additional oxidation event to liberate the carbonyl functionalities, aryl-o-naphthoquinone and aryl-p-quinone atropisomers were attained. Along with the development of new arylation strategies, deriving new axially chiral structures has been another consistent theme of our research program. The atroposelective functionalization of alkynes provides broad entry to atropisomeric alkenes. The monofunctionalization of alkynes through the interception of an electrophilic vinylidene-quinone-methide (VQM) intermediate with 2-naphthols yielded the new EBINOL scaffolds. By designing an internal directing group, the atroposelective dihalogenation of alkynes was realized using abundant alkali halides despite their weak nucleophilicities and poor solubilities. The atroposelective N-alkylation of alkenes was pursued to prepare multifunctionalized alkene atropisomers that could be converted into 2-arylpyrroles with chirality transfer. The synthesis of B-aryl-1,2-azaborines containing a C-B chiral axis was accomplished where the CPA catalyst effects the desymmetrization and defines the configuration of the distal C-B bond. Inspired by the axially chiral scaffold of allenes, we leveraged the developed arene activation strategy to achieve para-addition and dearomatization of judiciously designed azobenzenes, which led to structurally novel cyclohexadienylidene-based hydrazones. To complement these structures, axially chiral cyclohexadienyl oxime ethers were also attained through CPA-catalyzed condensation between hydroxylamines and spiro[4.5]trienones.

Abstract
Biaryl phosphines bearing C(Ar)-C(Ar) axial chirality are commonly known and have been successfully applied in many asymmetric catalyses. Nevertheless, the development of a chiral ligand having an axially chiral C(Ar)-N backbone remains elusive due to its undesirable less restricted rotational barrier. In fact, it is highly attractive to overcome this challenge in ligand development as the incorporation of an N-donor component at the chiral axis is more favorable toward the transient metal coordination, and thus, a better outcome of stereocommunication is anticipated to the approaching substrates. Herein, we present a rational design of a new collection of chiral phosphines featuring a C-N axial chirality and their applications in enantioselective Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling for accessing highly steric hindered tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls (26 examples up to 98:2 er). It is worth noting that the embodied carbazolyl framework is crucial to succeed the reaction, by the fruitful steric relief of bulky substrate coordination and transmetalation via a fleeting Pd-N jumping to Pd-π fashion. DFT calculation reveals an interesting Pd-arene-walking characteristic across the carbazolyl plane for attaining a lower energy-preferred route in a catalytic cycle. The theoretical study successfully predicts the stereooutcome and matches the enantioselectivity with the experimental results.

We report herein that copper(I) catalysis using a bis(phosphine) dioxide ligand can catalyze the desymmetric C-H arylation of prochiral bipyrroles. More than 50 nitrogen-nitrogen atropisomers were achieved in good to excellent yields with excellent enantioselectivities (≤97% yield, ≤98% ee). The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with good functional group compatibility on arenes and diaryliodonium salts. Moreover, this principle enables iterative arylation of the bipyrroles to enantioselectively arylate different positions during the catalysis of copper.

Abstract
We present a central-to-axial chirality conversion strategy for the construction of C-N axially chiral N-arylpyrroles via a gold(I)-catalyzed 5-endo-dig cyclization/dehydration cascade from amino acid derivatives. The reaction exhibits high efficiency on the central-to-axial chirality conversion. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the stereospecificity during the central-to-axial chirality conversion lies in the stability of the conformations of the amino alcohol and the corresponding low barrier transition state.

Using the chiral phosphoric acid catalyst, a series of axially chiral 3-arylindolizines were accessed in good to excellent yields and atropo-enantioselectivities. This approach features a broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, good scalability, and facile derivatization. Moreover, preliminary investigations based on nonlinear effects and a thermal racemization study demonstrated the intrinsic pathway for the formation of axial chirality and its potential utility.

Abstract
Enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral sulfur-containing biaryl derivatives through the electrophilic sulfenylation of biaryl phenols has been achieved for the first time. This catalytic asymmetric system, which involves sequential desymmetrization and kinetic resolution, is enabled by a combination of a novel 3,3'-disubstituted BINOL-derived selenide catalyst and an achiral sulfonic acid. Control experiments and computational studies suggest that multiple noncovalent interactions between the cocatalysts and substrate, especially a network of hydrogen bond interactions, play a crucial role in determining the enantioselectivity and reactivity.

Abstract
An organocatalytic highly diastero- and enantioselective Friedel-Crafts conjugate addition of indolizines to prochiral cyclopentenediones has been successfully developed. This desymmetric transformation provides a direct access to the desired indolizine-substituted cyclopentanediones in yields of 62-91% and excellent stereoselectivities. The utility of the approach was demonstrated by diverse late-stage functionalizations through reduction or oxidation. Importantly, the direct sp2 C-H functionalization with nitromethane in one-pot process resulted in the indolizine-linked axially chiral styrene bearing a remote chiral center.

Abstract
The field of asymmetric catalysis has been developing to access synthetically efficacious chiral molecules from the last century. Although there are many sustainable ways to produce nonracemic molecules, simplified and unique methodologies are always appreciated. In the recent developments of asymmetric catalysis, chiral-at-metal Lewis acid catalysis has been recognized as an attractive strategy. The catalysts coordinatively activate a substrate while serving the sole source of chirality by virtue of its helical environment. These configurationally stable complexes were utilized in a large number of asymmetric transformations, ranging from asymmetric Lewis acid catalysis to photoredox and electrocatalysis. Here we provide a comprehensive review of the current advancements in asymmetric catalysis utilizing iridium and rhodium-based chiral-at-metal complexes as catalysts. First, the asymmetric transformations via LUMO and HOMO activation assisted by a chiral Lewis acid catalyst are reviewed. In the second part, visible-light-induced asymmetric catalysis is summarized. The asymmetric transformation via the electricity-driven method is discussed in the final section.

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
Nitrogen-nitrogen bonds containing motifs are ubiquitous in natural products and bioactive compounds. However, the atropisomerism arising from a restricted rotation around an N-N bond is largely overlooked. Here, we describe a method to access the first enantioselective synthesis of N-N biaryl atropisomers via a Cu-bisoxazoline-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. A wide range of axially chiral N-N bisazaheterocycle compounds were efficiently prepared in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities via desymmetrization and kinetic resolution. Heating experiments showed that the axially chiral bisazaheterocycle products have high rotational barriers.

Abstract
The first catalytic asymmetric construction of axially chiral 4-aryl α-carboline skeletons has been accomplished through an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed atroposelective formal [3 + 3] annulation of 4-nitrophenyl 3-arylpropiolates with 2-sulfonamidoindolines. The synthetic utility of the title compounds has been demonstrated by the diverse late-stage structural modifications. Density functional theory calculations were also conducted to illuminate the key factors for controlling the origin of the enantioselectivity. This strategy not only provides an efficient pathway to access axially chiral α-carboline atropisomers but also offers a novel catalytic enantioselective mode for the construction of axially chiral heterobiaryls by using NHC-bound alkynyl acylazoliums.

Abstract
An unprecedented example of a chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed atroposelective Pictet-Spengler reaction of N-arylindoles is reported. Highly enantioenriched N-aryl-tetrahydro-β-carbolines with C-N bond axial chirality are obtained via dynamic kinetic resolution. The hydrogen bond donor introduced on the bottom aromatic ring, forming a secondary interaction with the phosphoryl oxygen, is essential to achieving high enantioselectivity. A wide variety of substituents are tolerable with this transformation to provide up to 98 % ee. The application of electron-withdrawing group-substituted benzaldehydes enables the control of both axial and point stereogenicity. Biological evaluation of this new and unique scaffold shows promising antiproliferative activity and emphasizes the significance of atroposelective synthesis.

Abstract
Atropisomerism is a stereochemical behavior portrayed by three-dimensional molecules that bear rotationally restricted σ bond. Akin to the well-represented point-chiral molecules, atropisomerically chiral compounds are finding increasing utilities in many disciplines where molecular asymmetry is influential. This provides steady demand on atroposelective synthesis, where numerous synthetic pursuits have been rewarded with conceptually novel and streamlined methods while expanding the structural diversity of atropisomers. This review summarizes key achievements in stereoselective preparation of biaryl, heterobiaryl, and nonbiaryl atropisomers documented between 2015 and 2020. Emphasis is placed on the synthetic strategies for each structural class, while examples are cited to illustrate the potential applications of the accessed atropochiral targets.
