Abstract
Although main group species have emerged in the field of dinitrogen activation in recent years, the reported examples are particularly rare in comparison with transition metal complexes due to their significant challenges. Herein, we demonstrate a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of N2 (with an activation energy as low as 12.5 kcal mol-1) initiated by an inorganic benzene via density functional theory calculations. Such N2 activation is supported by the elongated nitrogen-nitrogen bond distance (dNN), decreased vibration frequency (νNN), and weakened Wiberg bond index (WBINN). Subsequently, the "push-pull" electronic effect, formed by introducing a Lewis acid, HB(C6F5)2, facilitates the generation of thermodynamically more stable products. In addition, this inorganic benzene could also be used to activate a series of small molecules, including carbon dioxide, acetylene, ethylene, and acetonitrile with reaction barriers ranging from 4.7 to 11.6 kcal mol-1. Our findings provide an alternative approach to N2 activation and functionalization, theoretically validating the feasibility of the dual Lewis acid strategy for dinitrogen activation.

Abstract
A catalytic protio-semipinacol ring-expansion reaction has been developed for the highly enantioselective conversion of tertiary vinylic cyclopropyl alcohols into cyclobutanone products bearing α-quaternary stereogenic centers. The method relies on the cocatalytic effect of a chiral dual-hydrogen-bond donor (HBD) with hydrogen chloride. Experimental evidence is provided for a stepwise mechanism where protonation of the alkene generates a short-lived, high-energy carbocation, which is followed by C-C bond migration to deliver the enantioenriched product. This research applies strong acid/chiral HBD cocatalysis to weakly basic olefinic substrates and lays the foundation for further investigations of enantioselective reactions involving high-energy cationic intermediates.

Abstract
Computational analyses have revealed that the distortion of a catalyst and the substrates and their interactions are key to determining the stability of the transition state. Hence, two strategies "distortion strategy" and "interaction strategy" can be proposed for improving enantiomeric excess in enantioselective reactions. The "distortion strategy" is used as a conventional approach that destabilizes the TS (transition state) of the minor pathway. On the other hand, the "interaction strategy" focuses on the stabilization of the TS of the major pathway in which an enhancement of the reaction rate is expected. To realize this strategy, we envisioned the TS stabilization of the major reaction pathway by reinforcing hydrogen bonding and adopted the chiral phosphoric acid-catalysed enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of 2-vinylquinolines with dienylcarbamates. The intended "interaction strategy" led to remarkable improvements in the enantioselectivity and reaction rate.

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
Cooperative asymmetric catalysis with hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chiral dual-hydrogen-bond donors (HBDs) is applied successfully to highly enantioselective Prins cyclization reactions of a wide variety of simple alkenyl aldehydes. The optimal chiral catalysts were designed to withstand the strongly acidic reaction conditions and were found to induce rate accelerations of 2 orders of magnitude over reactions catalyzed by HCl alone. We propose that the combination of strong mineral acids and chiral hydrogen-bond-donor catalysts may represent a general strategy for inducing enantioselectivity in reactions that require highly acidic conditions.

Abstract
The dynamic parallel kinetic resolution (DPKR) of an α-ferrocenyl cation intermediate under the influence of a chiral conjugate base of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst has been demonstrated in an SN1 type substitution reaction of a racemic ferrocenyl derivative with a nitrogen nucleophile. The present method provides efficient access to a ferrocenylethylamine derivative in a highly enantioselective manner, which is potentially useful as a key precursor of chiral ligands for metal catalysis. The mechanism of the present intriguing resolution system was elucidated by control experiments using the enantio-pure precursor of relevant α-ferrocenyl cation intermediates and the hydroamination of vinylferrocene. Further theoretical studies enabled the elucidation of the origin of the stereochemical outcome as well as the efficient DPKR. The present DPKR, which opens a new frontier for kinetic resolution, involves the racemization process through the formation of vinylferrocene and the chemo-divergent parallel kinetic resolution of the enantiomeric α-ferrocenyl cations generated by the protonation/deprotonation sequence of vinylferrocene.

Abstract
Computational studies of chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric hydroamination (DyKAH) of racemic allenes show that the reaction proceeds through a catalytic asymmetric model involving a highly reactive π-allylic carbocationic intermediate, generated from a racemic allene through an intermolecular proton transfer mediated by CPA, which also results in a high E/Z selectivity. Moreover, the distortion-interaction, atom in molecule, and electrostatic interaction analyses and space-filling models are employed on the basis of the DyKAH catalyzed by (S)-A5 (reaction 1) or (R)-A2 (reaction 2) to explain the high enantioselectivity and the controlling effects of SPINOL scaffolds on the signs of enantioselectivity. Our calculations indicate that the enantioselectivity of reactions 1 and 2 can be mainly ascribed to the favorable noncovalent interactions within the stronger chiral electrostatic environment created by the phosphoric acid in the preferential transition states. Finally, the effect of (S/R)-SPINOL-based CPAs on the signs of enantioselectivity can be explained by the different combination modes of substrates into the chiral binding pocket of the catalyst controlled by the chirality of SPINOL backbones. Overall, the new insights into the reaction rationalize the outcome and these key factors that affect the product enantioselectivity are important to guide the DyKAHs.

Abstract
The axially chiral biphenols are known as a broadly applicable chiral source. However, only a few electron-deficient ones have been reported to date. In the present study, chiral biphenols having several electron-withdrawing groups have been designed, and a facile synthetic route from readily available reagents has been developed. Newly synthesized chiral electron-deficient biphenols and biphenol-derived chiral Brønsted acids functioned as effective catalysts for several catalytic asymmetric reactions.

Abstract
The precise mechanism of the chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed aldol-type reaction of azlactones with vinyl ethers was investigated. DFT calculations suggested that the reaction proceeds through a Conia-ene-type transition state consisting of the vinyl ether and the enol tautomer of the azlactone, in which the catalyst protonates the nitrogen atom of the azlactone to promote enol tautomerization. In addition, the phosphoryl oxygen of the catalyst interacts with the vinyl proton of the vinyl ether. The favorable transition structure features dicoordinating hydrogen bonds. However, these hydrogen bonds are not involved in the bond recombination sequence and hence the catalyst functions as a template for binding substrates. From the results of theoretical studies and experimental supports, the high enantioselectivity is induced by the steric repulsion between the azlactone substituent and the binaphthyl backbone of the catalyst under the catalyst template effect.

Abstract
The enantioselective ketimine-ene reaction is one of the most challenging stereocontrolled reaction types in organic synthesis. In this work, catalytic enantioselective ketimine-ene reactions of 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ones with α-methylstyrenes were achieved by utilizing a B(C6 F5 )3 /chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyst. These ketimine-ene reactions proceed well with low catalyst loading (B(C6 F5 )3 /CPA=2 mol %/2 mol %) under mild conditions, providing rapid and facile access to a series of functionalized 2-allyl-indolin-3-ones with very good reactivity (up to 99 % yield) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee). Theoretical calculations reveal that enhancement of the acidity of the chiral phosphoric acid by B(C6 F5 )3 significantly reduces the activation free energy barrier. Furthermore, collective favorable hydrogen-bonding interactions, especially the enhanced N-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen-bonding interaction, differentiates the free energy of the transition states of CPA and B(C6 F5 )3 /CPA, thereby inducing the improvement of stereoselectivity.

Abstract
An enantioselective intermolecular addition reaction of 1,1,2-trisubstituted and 1,2- disubstituted simple olefins with ethyl glyoxylate was developed using F10BINOL-derived N-sulfonyl phosphoramide as a chiral strong Brønsted acid catalyst.

Abstract
Norstatine derivatives are of important value in pharmaceutical science. However, their catalytic asymmetric synthesis is rare. We developed a sustainable method via chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-[Rh(OAc)2]2 co-catalyzed multi-component reactions (MCR) of diazoacetates with alcohol/water and imines. This method allows us to synthesize a library of 45 norstatines with excellent enanotioselectivites and broad substrate scope which includes anti-α-aryl-norstatines 11-1, anti-α-alkyl-norstatines 11-2, syn-α-hydro-norstatines 11-3 and syn-α-aryl-norstatines 11-4. The sustainability of this method lies in the reliable scalability, improved safety, and reusable [Rh(OAc)2]2 catalyst. The synthetic value of norstatine derivatives was demonstrated by preparing oxazolinone 14, ezetimibe analogue 15, and Taxol C-13 chain 16. Mechanistic study reveals that the synergetic catalysis of CPA and [Rh(OAc)2]2 is essential to maintain chemo- and enantioselectivity. Control experiments support the mechanism where the reactions proceed through the trapping of hyper-reactive oxonium ylides with imines. Shortly, we report herein the sustainable catalytic enantioselective synthesis of both syn- and anti-norstatine derivatives. We believe that this method might shed light on the sustainable synthesis of norstatine derivative-based drug candidates.

Abstract
An enantioselective intermolecular addition reaction of azlactones, as carbon nucleophiles, with styrene derivatives, as simple olefins, was demonstrated using a newly developed chiral Brønsted acid catalyst, namely, F10 BINOL-derived N-triflyl phosphoramide. Addition products having vicinal tetrasubstituted carbon centers, one of which is an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center, were formed in good yields with moderate to high stereoselectivities. Extremely high acidity of the new chiral Brønsted acid was confirmed by its calculated pKa value based on DFT studies and is the key to accomplishing not only high catalytic activity but also efficient stereocontrol in the intermolecular addition.
