Abstract
Despite the wide utility of hydroxylamines in organic synthesis, relatively few are commercially available, and there is a need for direct, efficient, and selective methods for their synthesis. Herein, we report two complementary methods to accomplish direct oxidation of secondary amines using UHP as an oxidant. The first method uses 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and a large excess of amine. Isolation of hydroxylamine products is enabled by selective salt formation, and recovery of excess amine is demonstrated. The second method uses hexafluoroacetone as an additive and is highlighted by the 1:1 stoichiometry between the oxidant and amine.

Abstract
Owing to their distinctive 1,3-dipolar structure, the catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of nitrones to hydroxylamines has been a formidable and longstanding challenge, characterized by intricate enantiocontrol and susceptibility to N-O bond cleavage. In this study, the asymmetric hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation of nitrones were accomplished with a tethered TsDPEN-derived cyclopentadienyl rhodium(III) catalyst (TsDPEN: p-toluenesulfonyl-1,2-diphenylethylene-1,2-diamine), the reaction proceeds via a novel 7-membered cyclic transition state, producing chiral hydroxylamines with up to 99 % yield and >99 % ee. The practical viability of this methodology was underscored by gram-scale catalytic reactions and subsequent transformations. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations were also conducted to elucidate the origin of enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric preparation of chiral 3-monosubstituted oxindoles represents a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry due to the ease of racemization of the tertiary stereocenter through enolization. Here, we describe a general titanium-catalyzed chemo- and enantioselective indole oxidation to produce a diverse set of chiral 3-monosubstituted oxindoles with up to 96% yield, 99% ee, and with a substrate/catalyst ratio of 10,000 by using the combination of a simple titanium(salan) catalyst with green and atom-economic terminal oxidant H2O2. The mild approach tolerates a broad range of functional groups, enabling late-stage asymmetric diversification of a series of commercial drugs and natural products together with late-stage asymmetric construction of a wide set of enzyme antagonists, all of which are difficult to achieve through existing methods.

Abstract
Chiral hydroxylamines are increasingly common structural elements in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, but their asymmetric synthesis remains challenging. Although enantioselective oxidation is the most straightforward method to prepare chiral oxides with a higher oxidation state, asymmetric and even nonasymmetric amine oxidation to hydroxylamines has been poorly addressed. We report a titanium-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation of racemic amines providing a broad range of structurally diverse chiral hydroxylamines with excellent chemo- and enantioselectivity. Notably, hydroxylamines bearing diverse substituent patterns on the stereocenters, including α,α-ester-alkyl, α,α-amide-alkyl, α,α-aryl-alkyl, α,α-alkynyl-alkyl, and α,α-dialkyl, are well tolerated with good functional group compatibility. Catalyst turnover numbers up to 5000 and selectivity factors up to 278 are observed. This finding offers a democratized platform to chiral hydroxylamines as design elements for drug discovery and provides insights into metal-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation of challenging substrates.

Abstract
The integration of oxidation and enantioselective reduction enables a redox deracemization to directly access enantioenriched products from their corresponding racemates. However, the solution of the kinetically microscopic reversibility of substrates used in this oxidation/reduction unidirectional event is a great challenge. To address this issue, we have developed a light-driven strategy to enable an efficient redox deracemization of cyclamines. The method combines a photocatalyst and a chiral phosphoric acid in a toluene/aqueous cyclodextrin emulsion biphasic co-solvent system to drive the cascade out-of-equilibrium. Systemic optimizations achieve a feasible oxidation/reduction cascade sequence, and mechanistic investigations demonstrate a unidirectional process. This single-operation cascade route, which involves initial photocatalyzed oxidation of achiral cyclamines to cyclimines and subsequent chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of cyclimines to chiral cyclamines, is suitable for constructing optically pure indolines and tetrahydroquinolines.

Abstract
By development of ProPhenol/Ti(IV) catalysts, a catalytic enantioselective hydroxylative dearomatization of naphthols is achieved by using TBHP as a simple oxidative reagent. The side coordinative chain equipped on the C1-position of β-naphthols plays an important role for initiating this asymmetric hydroxylative reaction, which might be a result of the proper cocoordination effects to the titanium center in the catalyst. A reasonable catalytic cycle is proposed, the catalytic system is applied to a reasonable range of this type of phenolic compound, and related concise transformations are carried out.

Abstract
Enantioselective [2 + 2] cyclization between an imine and a carbon-carbon double bond is a versatile strategy to build chiral azetidines. However, α-branched allenoates have never been successfully applied in [2 + 2] cyclization reactions with imines, as they always undergo Kwon's [4 + 2] annulation in previous catalytic methods. Herein, a simple in situ generated magnesium catalyst was employed to successfully achieve the enantioselective [2 + 2] cyclization reaction of DPP-imines and α-branched allenoates for the first time. Insightful experiments including KIE experiments, controlled experiments, Hammett plot analysis, and 31P NMR studies of initial intermediates indicate that the current [2 + 2] cyclization of imine most likely involves an asynchronous concerted transition state. Further mechanistic investigations by combining kinetic studies, ESI experiments, 31P NMR studies of coordination complexes, and controlled experiments on reaction rates under different catalyst loading amounts provided the coordination details for this [2 + 2] cyclization reaction between DPP-imines and α-branched allenoates. This new approach was applied to the synthesis of various chiral aza-heterocycles, including the enantioselective synthesis of the key intermediate of a lipid-lowering agent Ezetimibe.

Abstract
A manganese-catalyzed highly site- and enantioselective benzylic C-H azidation of indolines has been described. The practical method is applicable for azidation of a tertiary benzylic C-H bond with good functional group tolerance, allowing facile access to structurally diverse tertiary azide-containing indolines in high efficiency with excellent site-, chemo-, and enantioselectivity. The generality of the method was further demonstrated by site- and enantioselective azidation of the secondary benzylic C-H bond for a range of secondary azide-containing indolines. The benzylic C-H azidation method allows to straightforwardly and enantioselectively install a variety of nitrogen-based functional groups and diverse bioactive molecules at the C3 position of indoline frameworks through post-azidation manipulations. Gram-scale synthesis was also demonstrated, further highlighting the synthetic potential of the method. Mechanistic studies by combined experiments and computations elucidated the reaction mechanism and origins of stereoselectivity.

Abstract
The asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of 3H-indoles represents an ideal approach to the synthesis of useful chiral indoline scaffolds. However, very few catalytic systems based on precious metals have been developed to realize this challenging reaction. Herein, we report a Mn-catalyzed AH of 3H-indoles with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The kinetic resolution of racemic 3H-indoles by AH was also achieved with high s-factors to construct quaternary stereocenters. Many acid-sensitive functional groups, which cannot be tolerated when using a state-of-the-art ruthenium catalyst, were compatible with manganese catalysis. This new process expands the scope of this transformation and highlights the uniqueness of earth-abundant metal catalysis. The reaction could proceed with catalyst loadings at the parts per million (ppm) level with an exceptional turnover number of 72 350. This is the highest value yet reported for an earth-abundant metal-catalyzed AH reaction.

Abstract
Mimicking naturally occurring metalloenzymes to enrich the diversity of catalytic asymmetric oxidation reactions is a long-standing goal for modern chemistry. Toward this end, a range of methane monooxygenase (MMO) mimic chiral carboxylate-bridged (μ-hydroxo) diiron(III) dimer complexes using salan as basal ligand and sodium aryl carboxylate as additive have been designed and synthesized. The chiral diiron complexes exhibit efficient catalytic reactivity in dehydrogenative kinetic resolution of indolines using environmentally benign hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. In particular, complex C9 bearing sterically encumbered salan ligands and a 2-naphthoate bridge is identified as the optimal catalyst in terms of chiral recognition. Further investigation reveals that this MMO mimic chiral catalyst can be readily generated by self-assembly under the dehydrogenation conditions. The self-assembling catalytic system is applicable to a series of indolines with multiple stereocenters and diverse substituent patterns in high efficiency with a high level of chiral recognition (selectivity factor up to 153). Late-stage dehydrogenative kinetic resolution of bioactive molecules is further examined.

Abstract
Optically active amines represent critically important subunits in bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals, as well as key scaffolds in chiral catalysts and ligands. Kinetic resolution of racemic amines and enantioselective desymmetrization of prochiral amines have proved to be efficient methods to access enantioenriched amines, especially when the racemic or prochiral amines were easy to prepare while the chiral ones are difficult to be accessed directly. In this review, we systematically summarized the development of kinetic resolution and desymmetrization of amines through nonenzymatic asymmetric catalytic approaches in the last two decades.

Abstract
The diastereoselective acylation of a number of racemic methyl-substituted cyclic alkylamines with active esters of 2-phenoxypropanoic acid was studied in detail. The ester of (R)-2-phenoxypropanoic acid and N-hydroxysuccinimide was found to be the most selective agent. The highest stereoselectivity was observed in the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-methylpiperidine in toluene at -40 °C (selectivity factor s = 73) with the predominant formation of (R,R)-amide (93.7% de). To explain the observed stereoselectivity, DFT modelling of the transition states in the reactions of the title acylating agent with 2-methylpiperidine and 2-methylpyrrolidine was performed. The calculated values were in good agreement with experimental data. It has been demonstrated that the acylation proceeds via a concerted mechanism, in which the addition of an amine occurs simultaneously with the elimination of the hydroxysuccinimide fragment. The high stereoselectivity of the (R,R)-amide formation is largely ensured by the lower steric hindrances in the transition states as compared to the formation of (R,S)-amide.

Abstract
A novel protocol for asymmetric synthesis of hydroquinazolines bearing C4-tetrasubstituted stereocenters has been achieved through kinetic resolution of 2-amido α-tertiary benzylamines via chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed intramolecular dehydrative cyclizations. This method gave access to both α-tertiary benzylamines and hydroquinazolines with broad scope and high enantioselectivities. An intriguing restricted rotation of the C-N bond was observed for hydroquinazoline products bearing C4-tetrasubstituted stereocenters.

Abstract
An efficient kinetic resolution of N-aryl β-amino alcohols has been developed via asymmetric para-aminations of anilines with azodicarboxylates enabled by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. Broad substrate scope and high kinetic resolution performances were afforded with this method. Control experiments supported the critical roles of the NH and OH group in these reactions.
