Abstract
Asymmetric synthesis of 3-(3-indolomethyl)oxindoles through the addition of indole-substituted enolized ketoesters to 3-bromo-3-substituted oxindoles has been achieved using a N,N'-dioxide/Ho(III) complex. A number of 3-(3-indolomethyl)oxindoles, which may possess biological activity, were obtained in good yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 97% yield, >19 : 1 dr, 98% ee). Furthermore, time-dependent reversal of diastereoselectivity enabled access to optically active diastereomers. The product followed by facile transformations gave a new route into trigolute analogs.

Abstract
A bimetallic relay catalysis protocol for tandem allylic C-H amination and asymmetric [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement has been developed with the use of an achiral Pd0 catalyst and a chiral N,N'-dioxide-MgII complex in a one-pot operation. A series of anti-α-amino derivatives containing two stereogenic centers were prepared from readily available allylbenzenes and glycine pyrazolamide with good yields and high stereoselectivities. Moreover, the synthetic potential of this protocol was further demonstrated by the product transformations, and a catalytic cycle was proposed to illustrate the reaction process.

Abstract
Chiral acyclic α-tertiary amino ketones are widely present in various natural products and pharmaceuticals; however, the direct synthesis of this pharmacophore through a robust strategy still presents significant challenges. The emerging photocatalysis provides a powerful approach to construct chemical bonds that are difficult to form via a traditional two-electron pathway. Herein, we developed visible-light-induced chiral Lewis acid-catalyzed highly enantioselective acylation/alkylation of aldimines enabled by cooperative FLN (9-fluorenone) electron-shuttle catalysis via radical addition. An array of α-tertiary amino ketones, β-amino alcohols, and chiral amines were achieved with high yields and good to excellent stereocontrol (87 examples, up to 84% yield, 96% ee). These products can be easily transformed into valuable and bioactive skeletons. Extensive control experiments, detailed mechanism studies, and density functional theory calculations elucidated the reaction process and highlighted the crucial role played by FLN.

Abstract
A highly efficient asymmetric [1,3]- and [3,3]-O-to-C sigmatropic rearrangement of 3-allyloxy-4H-chromenones and their analogues was developed. Chiral N,N'-dioxide complexes of 3d late transition metal complexes enabled two mechanistically different processes, giving a series of optically active 2,2-disubstituted chromane-3,4-diones and 2-allyl-3-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-ones as well as their related compounds in excellent yield and enantioselectivity. Systemic mechanistic studies and DFT calculation revealed the nature of the vinyl ether unit of the substrate, which biased regioselectivity via a stepwise tight ion pair pathway and a concerted pericyclic pathway, respectively. The enantioselectivity of the two processes is also disclosed.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective nitrene transfer to sulfides has emerged as one of the most powerful strategies for rapid construction of enantioenriched sulfimides. However, achieving stereocontrol over highly active earth-abundant transition-metal nitrenoid intermediates remains a formidable challenge compared with precious metals. Herein, we disclose a chiral iron(II)/N,N'-dioxide-catalyzed enantioselective imidation of dialkyl and alkyl aryl sulfides using iminoiodinanes as nitrene precursors. A series of chiral sulfimides were obtained in moderate-to-good yields with high enantioselectivities (56 examples, up to 99% yield, 98:2 e.r.). The utility of this methodology was demonstrated by late-stage modification of complex molecules and synthesis of the chiral insecticide sulfoxaflor and the intermediates of related bioactive compounds. Based on experimental studies and theoretical calculations, a water-bonded high-spin iron nitrenoid species was identified as the key intermediate. The observed stereoselectivity was original from the steric repulsion between the amide unit of the ligand in the chiral cave and the bulky substituent of sulfides. Additionally, dioxazolones proved to be suitable acylnitrene precursors in the presence of an iron(III)/N,N'-dioxide complex, resulting in the formation of enantioselectivity-reversed sulfimides (14 examples, up to 81% yield, 97:3 e.r.).

Abstract
Azide compounds are widely present in natural products and drug molecules, and their easy-to-transform characteristics make them widely used in the field of organic synthesis. The merging of transition-metal catalysis with radical chemistry offers a versatile platform for radical carboazidation of alkenes, allowing the rapid assembly of highly functionalized organic azides. However, the direct use of readily available hydrocarbon feedstocks as sp3-hybridized carbon radical precursors to participate in catalytic enantioselective carboazidation of alkenes remains a significant challenge that has yet to be addressed. Herein, we describe an iron-catalyzed asymmetric three-component radical carboazidation of electron-deficient alkenes by direct activation of aliphatic C-H bonds. This approach involves intermolecular hydrogen atom transfer between a hydrocarbon and an alkoxy/aryl carboxyl radical, leading to the formation of a carbon-centered radical. The resulting radical then reacts with electron-deficient alkenes to generate a new radical species that undergoes chiral iron-complex-mediated C-N3 bond coupling. An array of valuable chiral azides bearing a quaternary stereocenter were directly accessed from widely available chemical feedstocks, and their synthetic potential is further demonstrated through more facile transformations to give other valuable enantioenriched building blocks.

Abstract
Asymmetric synthesis of 3-sulfonylated 3-substituted oxindoles through the addition of sodium sulfinate salts to 3-bromo-3-substituted oxindoles has been achieved using chiral nickel complexes of N,N'-dioxides. This method facilitates the creation of diverse chiral sulfonyl oxindoles, several of which display promising anticancer properties. Notably, the catalyst demonstrates remarkable tolerance to water, crucial for maintaining enantioselectivity. Furthermore, the utilization of topographic steric maps of the catalysts offers valuable insights into the mechanism underlying enantioselection reversal.

Abstract
The direct α-alkylation of acyclic carbonyls with nonactivated hydrocarbons through C(sp3 )-H functionalization is both extremely promising and notably challenging, especially when attempting to achieve enantioselectivity using iron-based catalysts. We have identified a robust chiral iron complex for the oxidative cross-coupling of 2-acylimidazoles with benzylic and allylic hydrocarbons, as well as nonactivated alkanes. The readily available and tunable N,N'-dioxide catalysts of iron in connection with oxidants exhibit precise asymmetric induction (up to 99 % ee) with good compatibility in moderate to good yields (up to 88 % yield). This protocol provides an elegant and straightforward access to optically active acyclic carbonyl derivatives starting from simple alkanes without prefunctionalization. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and control experiments were made to gain insight into the nature of C-C bond formation and the origin of enantioselectivity. We propose a radical-radical cross-coupling process enabled by the immediate interconversion between chiral ferric species and ferrous species.

Abstract
Owing to the mild generation methods, arynes have been widely used in synthetic chemistry. However, achieving asymmetric organocatalytic reactions with arynes remains a formidable and infrequent challenge, primarily because these neutral and transient species tend to spontaneously quench. To address this issue, a solid-liquid phase-transfer strategy is devised in which the generation speed of arynes could be controlled by the in situ generated fluoride-based chiral phase-transfer catalyst. In this study, we present a catalytic enantioselective nucleophilic addition reaction involving arynes, utilizing an amino amide-based guanidinium salt QG•X. Furthermore, we demonstrate the broad compatibility of this reaction with various arynes and cyclic/acyclic β-keto amides, leading to the creation of diverse α-aryl quaternary stereocenters with good stereoselectivity. Mechanistic investigations have uncovered the potential involvement of a chiral intramolecular cationic-anionic pair and HF during the ion exchange between QG•X and CsF for nucleophile activation and aryne generation. Additionally, DFT calculations suggested that the observed high levels of enantioselectivity can be attributed to steric repulsion and the cumulative noncovalent interactions between the catalysts and substrates.

Abstract
A diastereodivergent asymmetric desymmetrization of azetidinium salts with benzothiazoleamides as carbon nucleophiles through a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Mg(II) complex-promoted ring-opening reaction is realized by tuning ligands. Both syn- and anti-chiral δ-amino acid derivatives bearing benzothiazole structure were obtained in moderate to good yields and dr and ee values. DFT calculations indicated that the diastereodivergency stems from the different size of the chiral pocket formed by variable substructures of the ligands, leading to the opposite attack direction of the nucleophiles.

Abstract
Stereogenic nitrogen-containing heterocycles are ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceutical compounds, but methods for their enantioselective construction have remained elusive. We report a general method for the asymmetric conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to β-alkyl/aryl α,β-unsaturated lactams that affords chiral β,β-disubstituted lactams. The transformation is operationally simple and air- and moisture-tolerant and uses a commercially available (S)-t-Bu-PyOx ligand. The method is high-yielding (up to 95% yield) and enantioselective (up to 97% ee) for a wide range of arylboronic acids and α,β-unsaturated lactams, including those with different ring sizes.

Abstract
A bimetallic tandem catalysis-enabled enantioselective cycloisomerization/carbonyl-ene reaction was developed. The reaction proceeded well with a broad range of N-propargylamides and acylsilanes, affording the target chiral 5-oxazoylmethyl α-silyl alcohols in up to 95% yield and 99% ee under mild conditions. Importantly, this facile protocol was available for the late-stage modification of several bioactive molecules. Based on the mechanistic study and control experiments, a possible catalytic cycle and transition state are proposed to elucidate the reaction process and enantioinduction.

Abstract
A chiral 4-aryl-pyridine-N-oxide nucleophilic organocatalyst was used to synthesize chiral phthalidyl ester prodrugs by the acylative dynamic kinetic resolution process. By using the 3,5-dimethylphenyl-derived ArPNO catalyst, the phthalidyl esters were obtained in up to 97% yield with 97% ee at room temperature. Two phthalidyl esters of prodrugs, talosalate and talmetacin, were generated. By control experiments and density functional theory calculations, an acyl transfer mechanism was proposed.

Abstract
Asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes catalyzed by nonheme chiral Mn-O and Fe-O catalysts has been well established, but chiral Co-O catalysts for the purpose remain virtually undeveloped due to the oxo wall. Herein is first reported a chiral cobalt complex to realize the enantioselective epoxidation of cyclic and acyclic trisubstituted alkenes by using PhIO as the oxidant in acetone, wherein the tetra-oxygen-based chiral N,N'-dioxide with sterically hindered amide subunits plays a crucial role in supporting the formation of the Co-O intermediate and enantioselective electrophilic oxygen transfer. Mechanistic studies, including HRMS measurements, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, as well as DFT calculations, were carried out, confirming the formation of Co-O species as a quartet Co(III)-oxyl tautomer. The mechanism and the origin of enantioselectivity were also elucidated based on control experiments, nonlinear effects, kinetic studies, and DFT calculations.

Abstract
Compared to γ-addition, the α-addition of α-branched β,γ-unsaturated aldehydes faces larger steric hindrance and disrupts the π-π conjugation, which might be why very few examples are reported. In this article, a highly diastereo- and enantioselective α-regioselective Mannich reaction of isatin-derived ketimines with α-, β- or γ-branched β,γ-unsaturated aldehydes, generated in situ from Meinwald rearrangement of vinyl epoxides, is realized by using chiral N,N'-dioxide/ScIII catalysts. A series of chiral α-quaternary allyl aldehydes and homoallylic alcohols with vicinal multisubstituted stereocenters are constructed in excellent yields, good d.r. and excellent ee values. Experimental studies and DFT (density functional theory) calculations reveal that the large steric hindrance of the ligand and the Boc (tButyloxy carbonyl) protecting group of imines are critical factors for the α-regioselectivity.

Abstract
The textbook alkene halogenation reaction establishes straightforward access to vicinal dihaloalkanes. However, a robust catalytic method for dihalogenizing electron-deficient olefins in an enantioselective manner is still under development, and its mechanism remains controversial. Herein, we disclose efficient regio-, anti-diastereo-, and enantioselective dibromination, bromochlorination, and dichlorination reactions of enones catalyzed by a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Yb(OTf)3 complex. With the combination of electrophilic halogen and halide salts as halogenating agents, an array of homo- and heterodihalogenated derivatives is achieved in moderate to good enantioselectivities. Moreover, DFT calculations reveal that a novel triplet halo-radical pylon intermediate is probable in accounting for the exclusive regio- and anti-diastereoselectivity.

Abstract
Herein, the enantioselective synthesis of complex tricyclo[3.2.2.0]nonenes through the Diels-Alder reaction is reported. Utilizing racemic norcaradienes prepared from the visible-light-mediated dearomative cyclopropanation of m-xylene as dienes and enone derivatives as dienophiles, the overall process represents a kinetic asymmetric transformation in the presence of a chiral cobalt(ii) complex of chiral N,N'-dioxide. High diastereo- and enantioselectivity could be obtained in most cycloaddition processes and part racemization of norcaradiene is observed. The topographic steric maps of the catalysts were collected to rationalize the relationship between reactivity and enantioselectivity with the catalysts.

Abstract
The para-Claisen rearrangement of aryl 1-propargyl ethers involves two-step [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements and dearomatization process, which has high activation barriers and is of challenge. Here we discovered thermal para-Claisen rearrangement of naphthyl 1-propargyl ethers, and it enabled the formation of formal para-C-H propargylation products upon rearomatization. Chirality transfer occurred if optically active propargyl ethers were employed, leading to the construction of aryl/propargyl-containing stereogenic centers. Moreover, catalytic asymmetric dearomatization of naphthyl 1-propargyl ethers with different substitution at para-position gave access to benzocyclohexenones bearing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. The reaction was accelerated by a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Co(OTf)2 complex catalyst to achieve high yields (up to 98 %) and high enantioselectivities (up to 93 % ee). The DFT calculations and experimental results provided important clues to clarify the para-Claisen rearrangement process as well as the chiral induction and remote delivery.

Abstract
Photocatalysis opens up a new window for carbonyl chemistry. Despite a multitude of photochemical reactions of carbonyl compounds, visible light-induced catalytic asymmetric transformations remain elusive and pose a formidable challenge. Accordingly, the development of simple, efficient, and economic catalytic systems is the ideal pursuit for chemists. Herein, we report an enantioselective radical photoaddition to ketones through a Lewis acid-enabled photoredox catalysis wherein the in situ formed chiral N,N'-dioxide/Sc(III)-ketone complex serves as a temporary photocatalyst to trigger single-electron transfer oxidation of silanes for the generation of nucleophilic radical species, including primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals, giving various enantioenriched aza-heterocycle-based tertiary alcohols in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and high-resolution mass spectrum (HRMS) measurements provided favorable evidence for the stereocontrolled radical addition process involved in this reaction.

Abstract
Asymmetric sigmatropic rearrangement is a powerful organic transformation via substrate-reorganization to efficiently increase molecular complexity from readily accessible starting materials. In particular, a high level of diastereo- and enantioselectivity can be readily accessed through well-defined and predictable transition states in [3,3], [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements, which have been widely applied in the synthesis of various chiral building blocks, natural products, and pharmaceuticals. In recent years, catalytic asymmetric sigmatropic rearrangements involving chiral metal complexes to induce stereocontrol have been intensively studied. This review presents an overview of metal-catalysed enantioselective versions of sigmatropic rearrangements in the past two decades, mainly focusing on [3,3], [2,3], and [1,3]-rearrangements, to show the development of substrate design, new catalyst exploitation, and novel cascade processes. In addition, their application in the asymmetric synthesis of complex natural products is also exemplified.

Abstract
Chiral chromanone lactones are a class of natural products with important biological activity. We report a direct diastereo- and enantioselective vinylogous conjugate addition of butenolide to 2-ester substituted chromones. The transformation proceeded well in the presence of as low as 1 mol% of a chiral N,N'-dioxide/ScIII complex, 3 Å MS and a catalytic amount of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). The scope of Michael acceptors includes a variety of substituted chromones at different positions, and the desired chromanone lactones upon reduction are afforded in good yield and diastereoselectivity, and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). The strategy could be used in the concise synthesis of blennolide C and gonytolide A, C and G.

Abstract
A diastereo- and enantioselective photoenolization/Mannich (PEM) reaction of ortho-alkyl aromatic ketones with benzosulfonimides was established by utilizing a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Ni(OTf)2 complex as the Lewis acid catalyst. It afforded a series of benzosulfonamides and the corresponding ring-closure products, and a reversal of diastereoselectivity was observed through epimerization of the benzosulfonamide products under continuous irradiation. On the basis of the control experiments, the role of the additive LiNTf2 in achieving high stereoselectivity was elucidated. This PEM reaction was proposed to undergo a direct nucleophilic addition mechanism rather than a hetero-Diels-Alder/ring-opening sequence. A possible transition state model with a photoenolization process was proposed to explain the origin of the high level of stereoinduction.

Abstract
cis-Hydroindole scaffolds widely exist in a large number of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and organocatalysts. Therefore, the development of efficient and enantioselective methods for the construction of cis-hydroindoles is of great interest and importance. Herein, a novel approach for the enantioselective synthesis of cis-hydroindole scaffolds has been realized through a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Mg(OTf)2 complex catalyzed asymmetric inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction of 2-pyrones and cyclic enamines. A series of substituted cis-hydroindole derivatives bearing multiple contiguous stereocenters and functional groups were obtained in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield, and 95% ee) under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the enantioselective formal total synthesis of (+)-minovincine was concisely furnished with high efficiency and stereoselectivity to demonstrate the synthetic potential of this method.

Abstract
Herein, we report the first example of enantioselective (2+1) cycloaddition of thioketones with α-diazo pyrazoleamides for the direct synthesis of tetrasubstituted thiiranes. In the presence of chiral N,N'-dioxide/cobalt(ΙΙ) complexes (2-5 mol%), excellent efficiency (up to 99 % yield within 15 mins) and high stereoselectivity (up to >19 : 1 dr and 97 % ee) are available. Elaborations of thiiranes via desulfuration have also been conducted to deliver tetrasubstituted olefins. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the reaction initiates from a doublet state cobalt(ΙΙ) carbenoid, which is followed by a quartet cobalt(ΙΙ)-bound thiocarbonyl ylide pathway. This work provides a route for the selective construction of tetrasubstituted thiiranes and olefins that are otherwise difficult to access.

Abstract
We reported an efficient asymmetric amination of azlactones with N-aryl-N-aroyldiazenes through a chiral N,N'-dioxide-based Lewis acid catalyst. The multicoordination ability of Nd(III) enabled it to simultaneously activate and to locate the two reactants for N-selective addition. Hydrazine-bearing azlactone derivatives were obtained in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The ubiquity of sulfur-containing molecules in biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals has long attracted synthetic chemists to develop efficient strategies towards their synthesis. The strategy of direct α-C(sp3 )-H modification of sulfides provides a streamlining access to complex sulfur-containing molecules. Herein, we report a photoinduced chemo-, site- and stereoselective α-C(sp3 )-H functionalization of sulfides using isatins as the photoredox reagent and coupling partner catalyzed by a chiral gallium(III)-N,N'-dioxide complex. The reaction proceeds through a verified single-electron transfer (SET) mechanism with high efficiency, excellent functional group tolerance, as well as a broad substrate scope. Importantly, this cross-coupling protocol is highly selective for the direct late-stage functionalization of methionine-related peptides, regardless of the inherent structural similarity and complexity of diverse residues.
