Abstract
The development of efficient methodologies for the controlled manufacture of specific stereoisomers bearing quaternary stereocenters has prompted advances in a variety of scientific disciplines including pharmaceutical chemistry, materials science, and chemical biology. However, complete control of the absolute and relative stereochemical configurations of alkyne derivatives remains an unmet synthetic challenge. Herein, a Ni/Cu dual-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic substitution reaction is presented to produce propargylated products with all-carbon quaternary stereocenters in high yields with significant diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 dr, >99% ee). The synthesis of all stereochemical variants of methohexital, a widely used sedative-hypnotic drug, exemplifies the efficacy of dual-catalyzed stereodivergent propargylation.

Abstract
The construction of chiral motifs containing nonadjacent stereocenters in an enantio- and diastereoselective manner has long been a challenging task in synthetic chemistry, especially with respect to their stereodivergent synthesis. Herein, we describe a protocol that enables the enantio- and diastereoselective construction of 1,5/1,7-nonadjacent tetrasubstituted stereocenters through a Pd/Cu-cocatalyzed Heck cascade reaction. Notably, a C=C bond relay strategy involving the shift of the π-allyl palladium intermediate was successfully applied in the asymmetric construction of 1,7-nonadjacent stereocenters. The current method allows for the efficient preparation of chiral molecules bearing two privileged scaffolds, oxindoles and non-natural α-amino acids, with good functional group tolerance. The full complement of the four stereoisomers of products bearing 1,5/1,7-nonadjacent stereocenters could be readily accessed by a simple combination of two chiral metal catalysts with different enantiomers.

Abstract
The dual catalysis strategy is an efficient and powerful tool to fulfill the stereodivergent synthesis of stereoisomeric products from the same set of starting materials. Great attention has been given to the construction of chiral compounds with two contiguous stereocenters. However, the synthesis of two remote noncontiguous stereocenters is more challenging and is less developed, despite the high demand for synthetic tactics. We herein developed an unprecedented example of the stereodivergent preparation of synthetically useful and biologically important chiral ζ-hydroxy amino ester derivatives containing remote 1,6-noncontiguous stereocenters and a unique β,γ-unsaturation moiety. This cascade dehydrogenation/1,6-Michael addition/hydrogenation protocol between readily-available ketoimine esters and racemic branched dienyl carbinols was rationally realized with bimetallic copper/ruthenium relay catalysis. The key features of the process were atom economy, step economy, and redox-neutrality. All four stereoisomers of chiral ζ-hydroxy amino ester derivatives were easily achieved by the orthogonal permutations of a chiral copper catalyst and chiral ruthenium catalyst. Importantly, a much more challenging stereodivergent synthesis of all eight stereoisomers of chiral peptide products containing three remote stereocenters was accomplished with excellent results through the cooperation of two chiral catalyst pairs and substrate enantiomers.

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
Much attention has been focused on the catalytic asymmetric creation of single chiral centers or two adjacent stereocenters. However, the asymmetric construction of two nonadjacent stereocenters is of significant importance but is challenging because of the lack of remote chiral induction models. Herein, based on a C═C bond relay strategy, we report a synergistic Pd/Cu-catalyzed 1,5-double chiral induction model. All four stereoisomers of the target products bearing 1,5-nonadjacent stereocenters involving both allenyl axial and central chirality could be obtained divergently by simply changing the combination of two chiral catalysts with different configurations. Control experiments and DFT calculations reveal a novel mechanism involving 1,5-oxidative addition, contra-thermodynamic η3-allyl palladium shift, and conjugate nucleophilic substitution, which play crucial roles in the control of reactivity, regio-, enantio-, and diastereoselectivity. It is expected that this C═C bond relay strategy may provide a general protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of structural motifs bearing two distant stereocenters.

Abstract
Organic molecules bearing chiral sulfur stereocenters exert a great impact on asymmetric catalysis and synthesis, chiral drugs, and chiral materials. Compared with acyclic ones, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of thio-heterocycles has largely lagged behind due to the lack of efficient synthetic strategies. Here we establish the first modular platform to access chiral thio-oxazolidinones via Pd-catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] annulations of vinylethylene carbonates with sulfinylanilines. This protocol is featured by readily available starting materials, and high enantio- and diastereoselectivity. In particular, an unusual effect of a non-chiral supporting ligand on the diastereoselectivity was observed. Possible reaction mechanisms and stereocontrol models were proposed.

Abstract
The development of stereodivergent synthetic methods to access all four stereoisomers of biologically important α-fluoro γ-butyrolactones containing vicinal stereocenters is of great importance and poses a formidable challenge owing to ring strain and steric hindrance. Herein, a novel asymmetric [3+2] annulation of α-fluoro α-azaaryl acetates with vinylethylene carbonate was successfully developed through Cu/Ir-catalyzed cascade allylic alkylation/lactonization, affording a variety of enantioenriched α-fluoro γ-butyrolactones bearing vicinal stereogenic centers with high reaction efficiency and excellent levels of both stereoselectivity and regioselectivity (up to 98% yield, generally >20:1 dr and >99% ee). Notably, all four stereoisomers of these pharmaceutically valuable molecules could be accessed individually via simple permutations of two enantiomeric catalysts. In addition, other azaaryl acetates bearing α-methyl, α-chlorine or α-phenyl group were tolerated well in this transformation. Reaction mechanistic investigations were conducted to explore the process of this bimetallic catalysis based on the results of reaction intermediates, isotopic labelling experiments, and kinetic studies.

Abstract
The creation of full stereoisomers of an organic compound comprising multiple contiguous stereocenters with simultaneous control over both relative and absolute configurations remains a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry. Using a cooperative catalysis strategy, we established an N-heterocyclic carbene/nickel-catalyzed enantio- and diastereodivergent propargylation reaction to access 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles, enabling the incorporation of internal alkyne functionality and the introduction of a single quaternary or vicinal quaternary/tertiary stereogenic center. By selecting the appropriate combination of catalyst chirality, all four potential stereoisomers of α-quaternary propargylated oxindoles were synthesized in a predictable and precise way with remarkable yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities from identical starting materials. The synthetic utility of this method was demonstrated in the concise asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-debromoflustramine B and (-)-C(β-Me)-debromoflustramine B.

Abstract
The construction of acyclic, non-adjacent 1,3-stereogenic centers, prevalent motifs in drugs and bioactive molecules, has been a long-standing synthetic challenge due to acyclic nucleophiles being distant from the chiral environment. In this study, we successfully synthesized highly valuable 1,2-bis(boronic) esters featuring acyclic and nonadjacent 1,3-stereocenters. Notably, this reaction selectively produces migratory coupling products rather than alternative deborylative allylation or direct allylation byproducts. This approach introduces a new activation mode for selective transformations of gem-diborylmethane in asymmetric catalysis. Additionally, we found that other gem-diborylalkanes, previously challenging due to steric hindrance, also successfully participated in this reaction. The incorporation of 1,2-bis(boryl)alkenes facilitated the diversification of the alkenyl and two boron moieties in our target compounds, thereby enabling access to a broad array of versatile molecules. DFT calculations were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism and shed light on the factors responsible for the observed excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. These were determined to arise from ligand-substrate steric repulsions in the syn-addition transition state.

Abstract
ConspectusVicinal stereogenic centers are prevalent structural motifs of primary functional relevance in natural products and bioactive molecules. The quest for the rapid and controllable construction of vicinal stereogenic centers stands as a frontier endeavor in asymmetric organic synthesis. Over the past decade, stereodivergent synthesis has been intensely researched within the realm of bimetallic catalysis, aiming at establishing novel transition-metal dual-catalytic reactions that efficiently generate all stereochemical combinations of multichiral molecules from identical starting materials, thus offering new opportunities toward rapid complexity building and diversity-oriented chiral compound library generation. In this Account, we summarize our recent advancements in computational investigations of stereodivergent asymmetric allylic alkylation, an important reaction class heavily studied for the purpose of constructing vicinal stereogenic centers. Our discussions focus on synergistic bimetallic catalysis for the syntheses of α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids and cascade allylation/cyclization toward enantiomerically enriched indole-containing heterocycles. We describe our series of studies that converge in establishing the molecular mechanism of asymmetric induction for chiral copper-azomethine ylide, a nucleophile that holds widespread utility and is characterized by a distinctive, sterically biased surrounding enveloping the prochiral center. Notably, our studies revealed that attacks at the prochiral site by allylmetal species are significantly favored by dispersion attraction from one face (-PPh2) but blocked by steric repulsion and associated structural distortions on the opposite face (oxazoline), therefore building up a multimodal and highly robust face-selective stereoinduction. We showcase how a suite of systematic computational analyses generates precise atomistic insights into a number of systems of relevance. We also discuss how the same methodologies can be applied to chiral intermediates with shared interaction patterns, including the rhodium-Josiphos catalyst in asymmetric hydrogenation to create two continuous stereocenters. In the selectivity-controlling migratory insertion step, our computational models unveiled that the reaction is favored by ligand-substrate dispersion attraction on the -PPh2 side and hindered by steric repulsion on the opposite -PtBu2 side. These noncovalent interactions along with the distal ligand-auxiliary structural distortions enable strictly oriented three-dimensional stereoinduction. Our analysis of ligand-substrate dispersion interactions and steric effects in competing pathways highlights certain interaction-level similarities between PHOX-type and Josiphos-type ligands in asymmetric induction. In summary, this Account underscores the foundational significance and broad applicability of nonbonded dispersion interactions in asymmetric inductions for the construction of vicinal stereogenic centers. We envisage that the computational methodologies employed in these studies will shift toward a paradigm of interaction-based rational molecular and reaction design.

Abstract
Chiral cyclobutane presents as a popular motif in natural products and biologically active molecules, and its derivatives have been extensively used as key synthons in organic synthesis. Herein, we report an efficient synthetic method toward enantioenriched cyclobutane derivatives. The reaction proceeds in a cascade fashion involving Ir-catalyzed asymmetric allylic etherification and visible-light induced [2 + 2] cycloaddition. Readily available branched allyl acetates and cinnamyl alcohols are directly used as the substrates under mild reaction conditions, providing a broad range of chiral cyclobutanes in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 12:1 dr, >99% ee). It is worth noting that all substrates and catalysts were simultaneously added without any separated step in this approach. The gram-scale reaction and diverse transformations of product further enhance the potential utility of this method.

Abstract
Functionalized triose-, furanose and chromane-derivatives were synthesized by the titled reactions. The sugar-assisted kinetic resolution/C-C bond-forming cascade processes generate a functionalized sugar derivative with a quaternary stereocenter in a highly enantioselective fashion (up to >99 % ee) by using a simple combination of metal and chiral amine co-catalysts. Notably, the interplay between the chiral sugar substrate and the chiral amino acid derivative allowed for the construction of a functionalized sugar product with high enantioselectivity (up to 99 %) also when using a combination of racemic amine catalyst (0 % ee) and metal catalyst.

Abstract
The Tsuji-Trost reaction between carbonyl compounds and allylic precursors has been widely used in the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical compounds. As the α-C-H bond is far more acidic than the β-C-H bond, carbonyl compounds undergo highly regioselective allylation at the α-position and their β-allylation is therefore highly challenging. This innate α-reactivity conversely hampers diversity, especially if the corresponding β-allylation product is targeted. Herein, we present a formal intermolecular β-C-C bond formation reaction of a broad range of aldehydes and ketones with different allyl electrophiles through cooperative nickel and photoredox catalysis. β-Selectivity is achieved via initial transformation of the aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding silyl enol ethers. The overall transformation features mild conditions, excellent regioselectivity, wide functional group tolerance and high reaction efficiency. The introduced facile and regioselective β-allylation of carbonyl compounds proceeding through cooperative catalysis allows the preparation of valuable building blocks that are difficult to access from aldehydes and ketones using existing methodology.

Abstract
Highly diastereo-/enantioselective assembly of 2,3-fused indolizine derivatives could be easily available through a cascade allylation/Friedel-Crafts type reaction enabled by a synergistic Cu/Ir catalysis. This designed protocol provides an unprecedented and facile route to enantioenriched indolizines bearing three stereogenic centers in moderate to high yields with excellent stereoselective control, which also featured broad substrate generality. Remarkably, four stereoisomers of the 2,3-fused indolizine products could be efficiently constructed in a predictable manner through the pairwise combination of copper and iridium catalysts. The synthetic utility of this method was readily elaborated by a gram-scale reaction, and synthetic transformations to other important chiral indolizine derivatives. Quantum mechanical explorations constructed a plausible synergetic catalytic cycle, revealed the origins of stereodivergence, and rationalized the protonation-stimulated stereoselective Friedel-Crafts type cyclization to form the indolizine products.

Abstract
Aldehydes constitute a main class of organic compounds widely applied in synthesis. As such, catalyst-controlled enantioselective α-functionalization of aldehydes has attracted great interest over the years. In this context, α-branched aldehydes are especially challenging substrates because of reactivity and selectivity issues. Firstly, the transient trisubstituted enamines and enolates resulting upon treatment with an aminocatalyst or a base, respectively, would exhibit attenuated reactivity; secondly, mixtures of E- and Z-configured enamines/enolates may be formed; and third, effective face-discrimination on such trisubstituted sp2 carbon intermediates by the incoming electrophilic reagent is not trivial. Despite these issues, in the last 15 years, several catalytic approaches for the α-functionalization of prostereogenic α-branched aldehydes that proceed in useful yields and diastereo- and enantioselectivity have been uncovered. Developments include both organocatalytic and metal-catalyzed approaches as well as dual catalysis strategies for forging new carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom (C-O, N, S, F, Cl, Br, …) bond formation at Cα of the starting aldehyde. In this review, some key early contributions to the field are presented, but focus is on the most recent methods, mainly covering the literature from year 2014 onward.

Abstract
Herein, we report a synthesis of cyclohexanones bearing multi-continuous stereocenters by combining copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of dialkylzinc reagents to cyclic enones with iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution reaction. Good to excellent yields, diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity can be obtained. Unlike the stereodivergent construction of adjacent stereocenters (1,2-position) reported in the literature, the current reaction can achieve the stereodivergent construction of nonadjacent stereocenters (1,3-position) by a proper combination of two chiral catalysts with different enantiomers.

Abstract
Spirooxindoles have emerged as promising architectures for engineering biologically active compounds. The diastereodivergent construction of unique scaffolds of this type with full control of continuous chiral centers including an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center is yet to be developed. Here, we report an unprecedented diastereodivergent desymmetric [3 + 3] annulation of oxabicyclic alkenes with enals enabled by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/Rh cooperative catalysis, leading to a series of enantiomerically enriched spirooxindole lactones with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to >95:5 dr). The combined catalyst system comprises a rhodium complex that controls the configuration at the electrophilic carbon and an NHC catalyst that controls the configuration at the nucleophilic oxindole-containing carbon; thus, four stereoisomers of the spirooxindole products can be readily obtained simply by switching the configurations of the two chiral catalysts. Transformations of the chiral spirooxindoles delivered synthetically useful compounds. Importantly, those chiral spirooxindoles arrested mammalian cells in mitosis and exhibited potent antiproliferative activities against HeLa cells. Significantly, both absolute and relative configurations exert prominent effects on the bioactivities, underscoring great importance of catalytic asymmetric diastereodivergent synthesis beyond creating useful tools for the exploration of structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed three-component tandem radical cyclization reaction of aryl bromides with 1,3-enynes and aryl boric acids to construct γ-lactam-substituted allene derivatives has been described. This protocol provides lactam alkyl radicals through the free radical cyclization process, which can be effectively used to participate in the subsequent multicomponent coupling reaction so that 1,3-enynes could directly convert into corresponding poly-substituted allene compounds. In addition, this efficient method enjoys a broad substrate scope and provides a series of 1,5-difunctionalized allenes in a one-pot reaction.

Abstract
A family of polystyrene-supported (phosphoramidite, olefin) ligands L1-L4, based on the original design by Defieber and Carreira, has been developed and applied in iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination of unmasked allylic alcohols (27 examples, up to 99% ee). Among them, functional resins L1 and L4 exhibit important advantages such as easy preparation, ligand recyclability, and easy handling for sequential use. As a distinctive advantage, the catalytic use of the iridium complexes of L1 and L4 allows the straightforward reuse of a high percentage of the expensive iridium metal involved in the complexes, which is not achievable under homogeneous conditions with the corresponding monomeric complexes.

Abstract
The most fundamental tasks in asymmetric synthesis are the development of fully stereodivergent strategies to access the full complement of stereoisomers of products bearing multiple stereocenters. Although great progress has been made in the past few decades, developing general and practical strategies that allow selective generation of any diastereomer of a reaction product bearing multiple stereocentres through switching distinct chiral catalysts is a significant challenge. Here, attaining precise switching of the product stereochemistry, we develop a novel P-chirogenic ligand, i.e.YuePhos, which can be easily derived from inexpensive and commercially available starting materials in four chemical operations. Through switching of three chiral ligands, an unprecedented ligand-dependent diastereodivergent Pd-catalyzed asymmetric intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of vinyl benzoxazinanone with α-arylidene succinimides was developed. This novel method provides an efficient route for the stereodivergent synthesis of six stereoisomers of pyrrolidines bearing up to three adjacent stereocenters (one quaternary center). Despite the anticipated challenges associated with controlling stereoselectivity in such a complex system, the products are obtained in enantiomeric excesses ranging up to 98% ee. In addition, the synthetic utilities of optically active hexahydrocarbazoles are also shown.

Abstract
Developing new asymmetric auto-tandem catalysis processes, especially in a divergent manner, is highly attractive but extremely challenging. Presented herein is a palladium-catalyzed auto-tandem reaction between 2,4-dienyl carbonates and o-TsNH arylimines or trifluoroacetophenones that proceeds through a consecutive N-allylation, vinylogous addition, π-σ-π isomerization, and another N-allylation sequence. Importantly, switchable diastereodivergent synthesis could be achieved by tuning the chiral bisphosphine ligands, which led to the construction of a broad spectrum of fused tetrahydroquinoline architectures with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity. Ligand control even enabled effective access to regiodivergent azetidine or chemodivergent β-H elimination with fair enantioselectivity, further showing the versatility of the current auto-tandem catalysis.

Abstract
Tuning diastereoselectivity is a great challenge in asymmetric catalysis for the inherent stereochemical bias of the substrates. Here, we report a diastereodivergent asymmetric Mannich reaction of cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines with ketones catalyzed by a bispidine-based chiral amine catalyst, in which additional water switches the diastereoselectivity efficiently. Both chiral anti- and syn-benzosultams with potential anti-HIV-1 activity are obtained in excellent yields and good to excellent ee values. Control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were applied to study the diastereodivergent mechanism, which reveal that the diastereodivergent catalysis should be state-determined, and the water reverses the energies of states to realize the diastereodivergency. The findings are quite new and might inspire more diastereodivergent asymmetric synthesis. A diastereodivergent asymmetric Mannich reaction of cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines with ketones is realized by employing bispidine-based chiral amine as catalyst and additional water switching the diastereoselectivity.![]()

Abstract
The free radical cyclization reaction is a promising strategy for ring framework formation. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed tandem radical cyclization strategy for preparing substituted lactam derivatives. This reaction proceeds through a radical coupling approach, which not only allows a wide range of alkenes but also is quite compatible with the primary, secondary, and tertiary radicals. In addition, density functional theory calculations were performed to gain insights into the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Despite that asymmetric stereodivergent synthesis has experienced great success to provide unusual processes for the creation of chirality complexity, concepts appliable to asymmetric stereodivergent catalysis are still limited. The dependence on the unusual capacity of each catalyst to precisely control the reactive site planar in the region poses unparalleled constraints on this field. Here, we first demonstrate that the chiral Cu-allenylidene species can participate in the stereodivergent propargylic alkylation of enals, in concert with chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). Thus, all four stereoisomers were obtained with excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity (up to >99% e.e. and >95:5 d.r.) from the same starting materials by simply altering chiral Cu-Pybox complex and NHC combinations. The rich chemistry workable in the products enables the structurally diverse synthesis of chiral functional molecules and holds great potential in alkaloid synthesis, as showcased by the preparation of the key building block to access (-)-perophoramidine. The ability to construct multiple stereocenters in a modular fashion is an important goal of synthetic organic chemistry. Here the authors present a method to construct oxindoles in four stereoisomers with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity from the same starting materials by using cooperative copper- and organocatalysis.

Abstract
In this study, we reported a hydrogen-bond-donor-directed enantiodivergent vinylogous aldol-cyclization cascade reaction of 3-alkylidene oxindoles with isatins and o-quinones. Both enantiomers can be prepared by thiourea or squaramide cinchona alkaloid bifunctional organocatalysts with the same quinine scaffold. Kinetic study data provided the possible reaction mechanism for the vinylogous aldol-cyclization cascade reaction. The DFT calculation data showed the geometry of the generated dienolates from pronucleophiles dominated the observed switch of enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed cycloaddition has been established as a powerful tool for heterocycle synthesis. Despite impressive advances, the exploitation of new catalysis strategies and systems is still highly significant to enrich the heterocycle family. Herein, we disclosed a cooperative catalysis system merging an achiral Pd catalyst and a chiral Co catalyst for the asymmetric [4+2] cycloaddition between vinyl benzoxazinones and N-acylpyrazoles. Chiral tetrahydroquinolines bearing two contiguous, unusual cis-configured stereocenters were produced in high yields and enantio- and diastereoselectivities. The pyrazole directing group can be easily converted into many other functional groups, thus demonstrating the flexibility of the present methodology.

Abstract
The development of efficient and straightforward methods for obtaining all optically active isomers of structurally rigid spirocycles from readily available starting materials is of great value in drug discovery and chiral ligand development. However, the stereodivergent synthesis of spirocycles bearing multiple stereocenters remains an unsolved challenge owing to steric hindrance and ring strain. Herein, we report an enantio- and diastereodivergent synthesis of rigid spirocycles through dual-metal-catalyzed [3+2] annulation of oxy π-allyl metallic dipoles with less commonly employed nucleophilic dipoles (imino esters). A series of spiro compounds bearing a pyrroline and an olefin were easily synthesized in an enantio- and diastereodivergent manner (up to 19:1 dr, >99 % ee), which showed great promise as a new type of N-olefin ligand. Preliminary mechanistic studies were also carried out to understand the process of this bimetallic catalysis.

Abstract
We report asymmetric [4 + 3] annulations between isatin-derived Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates and two types of vinyl carbonates synergistically catalyzed by tertiary amines and transition metals, through chemoselective assemblies of in situ formed allylic ylides and metal-containing 1,4-dipoles. A range of oxepane frameworks are generally constructed in moderate to good yields with high stereocontrol. Moreover, all four diastereomers for the products bearing vicinal stereocenters are accessible by tuning tertiary amine and metal catalysts.

Abstract
A DBU-catalyzed desymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition between para-quinamines and photogenerated ketenes was developed for the first time. Under the irradiation of low-energy blue LEDs, a variety of hydroindoles bearing all-carbon quaternary centers were produced with good reaction efficiency and complete diastereoselectivity (34 examples, 45-99% yields and >95 : 5 dr). This protocol represents a new approach to synthetically significant hydroindoles, and features broad substrate scope, high functional group compatibility and mild reaction conditions.
