Abstract
We report a hydrogen atom transfer-initiated cyclization/reduction cascade for the synthesis of primary amines from δ,ε- and ε,ζ-unsaturated nitriles. The HAT transformation employs Mn(acac)3 as a catalyst and utilizes air as an oxidant along with NaBH4 as a dual-purpose reductant toward the olefin and subsequently C═N. Aromatic and aliphatic nitriles incorporating mono-, di-, and trisubstituted olefins are substrates for the reaction. Starting materials bearing malonates are transformed into the corresponding bicyclic lactams, enabling the rapid buildup of structural complexity.

Abstract
Chiral 1,2-bis(2,5-diphenylphospholano)ethane (Ph-BPE) is a class of optimal organic bisphosphine ligands with C2-symmetry. Ph-BPE with its excellent catalytic performance in asymmetric synthesis has attracted much attention of chemists with increasing popularity and is growing into one of the most commonly used organophosphorus ligands, especially in asymmetric catalysis. Over two hundred examples have been reported since 2012. This review presents how Ph-BPE is utilized in asymmetric synthesis and how powerful it is as a chiral ligand or even a catalyst in a wide range of reactions including applications in the total synthesis of bioactive molecules.

Abstract
In recent decades, strategies involving transition-metal catalyzed carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond coupling have emerged as potent synthetic tools for constructing intricate molecular architectures. Among these, decarboxylative carbon-nitrogen bond formation using abundant carboxylic acids or their derivatives has garnered notable attention for accessing alkyl- or arylamines, one of key pharmacophores. While several decarboxylative amination methods have been developed, the involvement of a common carboradical intermediate currently poses challenges in achieving stereospecific transformation toward chiral alkylamines. Herein, we present a base-mediated, stereoretentive decarboxylative amidation by harnessing 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-one as a reactive and robust amidating reagent under transition-metal-free ambient conditions, encompassing all types of primary, secondary and tertiary carboxylic acids, thereby providing access to the important pharmacophore, α-chiral amines. This method exhibits high functional group tolerance, convenient scalability, and ease of applicability for 15N-isotope labeling, thus accentuating its synthetic utilities. Experimental and computational mechanistic investigations reveal a sequence of elementary steps: i) nucleophilic addition of carboxylate to dioxazolone, ii) rearrangement to form a dicarbonyl N-hydroxy intermediate, iii) conversion to hydroxamate, followed by a Lossen-type rearrangement, and finally, iv) reaction of the in situ generated isocyanate with carboxylate leading to C-N bond formation in a stereoretentive manner.

Abstract
Despite much progress in the area of dearomatization, the enantioselective dearomatization of heterocycles is limited to those with a single heteroatom. Here we report a highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed dearomatization of pyrazine, a diazine, leading to chiral C-substituted piperazines. When exposed to a chloroformate and an alkyne in the presence of a catalyst derived from a copper salt and the chiral ligand StackPhos, pyrazine is readily dearomatized to provide a 2,3-disubstituted dihydropyrazine as single diastereomer in high enantiomeric excess. Mechanistic studies support a noninnocent involvement of chloride ion preventing a second iminium alkynylation, thus enabling subsequent functionalization at the second reactive site. The synthetically useful dihydropyrazine products, obtained in up to 95% yield and 99% ee, can be further manipulated to form optically active C-substituted piperazines and C1-symmetric 1,2-diamines.

Abstract
The control of potato virus Y (PVY) induced crop failure is a challengeable issue in agricultural chemistry. Although many anti-PVY agents are designed to focus on the functionally important coat protein (CP) of virus, how these drugs act on CP to inactivate viral pathogenicity, remains largely unknown. Herein, a PVY CP inhibitor -3j (S) is disclosed, which is accessed by developing unusually efficient (up to 99% yield) and chemo-selective (> 99:1 er in most cases) carbene-catalyzed [3+4] cycloaddition reactions. Compound -3j bears a unique arylimidazole-fused diazepine skeleton and shows chirality-preferred performance against PVY. In addition, -3j (S) as a mediator allows ARG191 (R191) of CP to be identified as a key amino acid site responsible for intercellular movement of virions. R191 is further demonstrated to be critical for the interaction between PVY CP and the plant functional protein NtCPIP, enabling virions to cross plasmodesmata. This key step can be significantly inhibited through bonding with the -3j (S) to further impair pathogenic behaviors involving systemic infection and particle assembly. The study reveals the in-depth mechanism of action of antiviral agents targeting PVY CP, and contributes to new drug structures and synthetic strategies for PVY management.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy has been used to measure the concentration of a pharmaceutically relevant model amine intermediate for positive allosteric modulators of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in a ω-transaminase-catalyzed conversion. A model based on a one-dimensional convolutional neural network was developed to translate raw data augmented Raman spectra directly into substrate concentrations, with which the conversion from ketone to amine by ω-transaminase could be determined over time. The model showed very good predictive capabilities, with R2 values higher than 0.99 for the spectra included in the modeling and 0.964 for an independent dataset. However, the model could not extrapolate outside the concentrations specified by the model. The presented work shows the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a real-time monitoring tool for biocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
Herein we describe a sustainable and efficient photocatalytic method for the stereoselective radical alkylation of chiral sulfinyl imines. By employing readily available non-prefunctionalized radical precursors and the cost-effective TBADT as a direct HAT photocatalyst, we successfully obtain diverse chiral amines with high yields and excellent diastereoselectivity under mild conditions. This method provides an efficient approach for accessing a diverse array of medicinally relevant compounds, including both natural and synthetic α-amino acids, aryl ethyl amines, and other structural motifs commonly found in approved pharmaceuticals and natural product.

Abstract
The influence of added surfactant to aqueous reaction mixtures containing various IREDs has been determined. Just the presence of a nonionic surfactant tends to increase both rates and extent of conversion to the targeted amines. The latter can be as much as >40% relative to buffer alone. Several tandem sequences featuring several steps that combine use of an IRED together with various types of chemocatalysis are also presented, highlighting the opportunities for utilizing chemoenzymatic catalysis, all in water.

Abstract
Chiral α-tertiary amines and related azacycles are sought-after compounds for drug development. Despite progress in the catalytic asymmetric construction of aza-quaternary stereocentres, enantioselective synthesis of multifunctional α-tertiary amines remains underdeveloped. Enantioenriched α-disubstituted α-ethynylamines are attractive synthons for constructing chiral α-tertiary amines and azacycles, but methods for their catalytic enantioselective synthesis need to be expanded. Here we describe an enantioselective asymmetric Cu(I)-catalysed propargylic amination (ACPA) of simple ketone-derived propargylic carbonates to give both α-dialkylated and α-alkyl-α-aryl α-tertiary ethynylamines. Sterically confined pyridinebisoxazoline (PYBOX) ligands, with a C4 shielding group and relaying groups, play a key role in achieving excellent enantioselectivity. The syntheses of quaternary 2,5-dihydropyrroles, dihydroquinines, dihydrobenzoquinolines and dihydroquinolino[1,2-α]quinolines are reported, and the synthetic value is further demonstrated by the enantioselective catalytic total synthesis of a selective multi-target β-secretase inhibitor. Enantioselective Cu-catalysed propargylic substitutions with O- and C-centred nucleophiles are also realized, further demonstrating the potential of the PYBOX ligand.

Abstract
Chiral amine synthesis remains a significant challenge in accelerating the design cycle of drug discovery programs. A zirconium hydride, due to its high oxophilicity and lower reactivity, gave highly chemo- and stereoselective reductions of sulfinyl ketimines. The development of this zirconocene-mediated reduction helped to accelerate our drug discovery efforts and is applicable to several motifs commonly used in medicinal chemistry. Computational investigation supported a cyclic half-chair transition state to rationalize the high selectivity in benzyl systems.

Abstract
Synthetic biology is touted as the next industrial revolution as it promises access to greener biocatalytic syntheses to replace many industrial organic chemistries. Here, it is shown to what synthetic biology can offer in the form of multienzyme cascades for the synthesis of the most basic of new materials-chemicals, including especially designer chemical products and their analogs. Since achieving this is predicated on dramatically expanding the chemical space that enzymes access, such chemistry will probably be undertaken in cell-free or minimalist formats to overcome the inherent toxicity of non-natural substrates to living cells. Laying out relevant aspects that need to be considered in the design of multi-enzymatic cascades for these purposes is begun. Representative multienzymatic cascades are critically reviewed, which have been specifically developed for the synthesis of compounds that have either been made only by traditional organic synthesis along with those cascades utilized for novel compound syntheses. Lastly, an overview of strategies that look toward exploiting bio/nanomaterials for accessing channeling and other nanoscale materials phenomena in vitro to direct novel enzymatic biosynthesis and improve catalytic efficiency is provided. Finally, a perspective on what is needed for this field to develop in the short and long term is presented.

Abstract
Chiral amines are pivotal building blocks for the pharmaceutical industry. Asymmetric reductive amination is one of the most efficient and atom economic methodologies for the synthesis of optically active amines. Among the various strategies available, NAD(P)H-dependent amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) and imine reductases (IREDs) are robust enzymes that are available from various sources and capable of utilizing a broad range of substrates with high activities and stereoselectivities. AmDHs and IREDs operate via similar mechanisms, both involving a carbinolamine intermediate followed by hydride transfer from the co-factor. In addition, both groups catalyze the formation of primary and secondary amines utilizing both organic and inorganic amine donors. In this review, we discuss advances in developing AmDHs and IREDs as biocatalysts and focus on evolutionary history, substrate scope and applications of the enzymes to provide an outlook on emerging industrial biotechnologies of chiral amine production.

Abstract
The discovery of highly enantioselective catalysts and elucidating their generality face great challenges due to the complex multidimensional chemical space of asymmetric catalysis and inefficient screening methods. Here, we develop a general strategy for ultra-high-throughput mapping of the chemical space of asymmetric catalysis by escaping the time-consuming chiral chromatography separation. The ultrafast ( ~ 1000 reactions/day) and accurate (median error < ±1%) analysis of enantiomeric excess are achieved through the ion mobility-mass spectrometry combines with the diastereoisomerization strategy. A workflow for accelerated asymmetric reaction screening is established and verified by mapping the large-scale chemical space of more than 1600 reactions of α-asymmetric alkylation of aldehyde with organocatalysis and photocatalysis. Importantly, a class of high-enantioselectivity primary amine organocatalysts of 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine-based sulfonamides is discovered by the accelerated screening, and the mechanism for high-selectivity is demonstrated by computational chemistry. This study provides a practical and robust solution for large-scale screening and discovery of asymmetric reactions.

Abstract
Asymmetric reactions that convert racemic mixtures into enantioenriched amines are of significant importance due to the prevalence of amines in pharmaceuticals, with about 60% of drug candidates containing tertiary amines. Although transition-metal catalyzed allylic substitution processes have been developed to provide access to enantioenriched α-disubstituted allylic amines, enantioselective synthesis of sterically demanding α-tertiary amines with a tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenter remains a major challenge. Herein, we report a chiral diene-ligated rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric substitution of racemic tertiary allylic trichloroacetimidates with aliphatic secondary amines to afford α-trisubstituted-α-tertiary amines. Mechanistic investigation is conducted using synergistic experimental and computational studies. Density functional theory calculations show that the chiral diene-ligated rhodium promotes the ionization of tertiary allylic substrates to form both anti and syn π-allyl intermediates. The anti π-allyl pathway proceeds through a higher energy than the syn π-allyl pathway. The rate of conversion of the less reactive π-allyl intermediate to the more reactive isomer via π-σ-π interconversion was faster than the rate of nucleophilic attack onto the more reactive intermediate. These data imply that the Curtin-Hammett conditions are met in the amination reaction, leading to dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation. Computational studies also show that hydrogen bonding interactions between β-oxygen of allylic substrate and amine-NH greatly assist the delivery of amine nucleophile onto more hindered internal carbon of the π-allyl intermediate. The synthetic utility of the current methodology is showcased by efficient preparation of α-trisubstituted-α-tertiary amines featuring pharmaceutically relevant secondary amine cores with good yields and excellent selectivities (branched-linear >99:1, up to 99% enantiomeric excess).

Abstract
A Ni-catalyzed enantioselective hydroamination of vinylarenes has been developed, affording a wide variety of α-branched chiral alkylamines in good yields with exclusive Markovnikov regioselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity. The SKP ligand was found to be crucial to both the reactivity enhancement and enantiocontrol of the reaction. The synthetic utility of the protocol was exemplified in a gram-scale reaction and late-stage modification of medicinally relevant molecules. The deuterium-labeling experiment revealed that the irreversible hydronickelation of vinylarenes is most likely the enantioselectivity-determining step.

Abstract
H8-BINOL, a partially reduced form of BINOL, is widely employed in a broad array of organocatalyzed asymmetric methodologies. Over the last 25 years, asymmetric organocatalysis has witnessed an incredible improvement, and an advancement still continues to get a single enantio-enriched product. The broad-spectrum applications of H8-BINOL organocatalyst in C-C bond formation, C-heteroatom bond construction, name reactions, pericyclic reactions, and one pot and multicomponent reaction are attracting the attention of researchers. A diversified unique H8-BINOL-based catalyst has been synthesized and screened for catalytic activity. In this Review we frame out the H8-BINOL catalyzed novel discoveries from the last two decades.

Abstract
Many successful stories in enzyme engineering are based on the creation of randomized diversity in large mutant libraries, containing millions to billions of enzyme variants. Methods that enabled their evaluation with high throughput are dominated by spectroscopic techniques due to their high speed and sensitivity. A large proportion of studies relies on fluorogenic substrates that mimic the chemical properties of the target or coupled enzymatic assays with an optical read-out that assesses the desired catalytic efficiency indirectly. The most reliable hits, however, are achieved by screening for conversions of the starting material to the desired product. For this purpose, functional group assays offer a general approach to achieve a fast, optical read-out. They use the chemoselectivity, differences in electronic and steric properties of various functional groups, to reduce the number of false-positive results and the analytical noise stemming from enzymatic background activities. This review summarizes the developments and use of functional group probes for chemoselective derivatizations, with a clear focus on screening for enzymatic activity in protein engineering.

Abstract
This study describes the enantioseparation of three chiral amines as naphthaldimine derivatives, using normal phase HPLC with amylose and cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phases (CSPs). Three chiral amines were derivatized using three structurally similar naphthaldehyde derivatizing agents, and the enantioselectivity of the CSPs toward the derivatives was examined. The degree of enantioseparation and resolution was affected by the amylose or cellulose-derived CSPs and aromatic moieties as well as a kind of chiral amine. Especially, efficient enantiomer separation was observed for 2-hydroxynapthaldimine derivatives on cellulose-derived CSPs. Molecular docking studies of three naphthaldimine derivatives of leucinol on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) were performed to estimate the binding energies and conformations of the CSP-analyte complexes. The obtained binding energies were in good agreement with the experimentally determined enantioseparation and elution order.

Abstract
Amines featuring an adjacent stereocenter are important building blocks, and recent years have seen remarkable growth in methods forming these via prochiral α-amino radical intermediates. However, very few can exert control over the newly formed stereocenter. We disclose a strategy to overcome this in the context of one of the most widely used radical carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, the Giese reaction. Incorporation of a removable basic heteroarene into the substrate enables a network of attractive noncovalent interactions between a phosphoric acid catalyst, the subsequently formed α-amino radical, and the Giese acceptor, allowing the catalyst to exert control during the C-C bond forming step. Deprotection of the products leads to analogues of γ-aminobutyric acid. We anticipate that this strategy will be applicable to other asymmetric radical transformations in which catalyst control is presently challenging.

Abstract
Amine transaminases (ATAs) are powerful biocatalysts for the stereoselective synthesis of chiral amines. However, wild-type ATAs usually show pH optima at slightly alkaline values and exhibit low catalytic activity under physiological conditions. For efficient asymmetric synthesis ATAs are commonly used in combination with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, optimal pH: 7.5) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH, optimal pH: 7.75) to shift the equilibrium towards the synthesis of the target chiral amine and hence their pH optima should fit to each other. Based on a protein structure alignment, variants of (R)-selective transaminases were rationally designed, produced in E. coli, purified and subjected to biochemical characterization. This resulted in the discovery of the variant E49Q of the ATA from Aspergillus fumigatus, for which the pH optimum was successfully shifted from pH 8.5 to 7.5 and this variant furthermore had a two times higher specific activity than the wild-type protein at pH 7.5. A possible mechanism for this shift of the optimal pH is proposed. Asymmetric synthesis of (R)-1-phenylethylamine from acetophenone in combination with LDH and GDH confirmed that the variant E49Q shows superior performance at pH 7.5 compared to the wild-type enzyme.

Abstract
The efficient asymmetric catalytic synthesis of amines containing more than one stereogenic center is a current challenge. Here, we present a biocatalytic cascade that combines ene-reductases (EReds) with imine reductases/reductive aminases (IReds/RedAms) to enable the conversion of α,β-unsaturated ketones into primary, secondary, and tertiary amines containing two stereogenic centers in very high chemical purity (up to >99%), a diastereomeric ratio, and an enantiomeric ratio (up to >99.8:<0.2). Compared with previously reported strategies, our strategy could synthesize two, three, or even all four of the possible stereoisomers of the amine products while precluding the formation of side-products. Furthermore, ammonium or alkylammonium formate buffer could be used as the only additional reagent since it acted both as an amine donor and as a source of reducing equivalents. This was achieved through the implementation of an NADP-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH) for the in situ recycling of the NADPH coenzyme, thus leading to increased atom economy for this biocatalytic transformation. Finally, this dual-enzyme ERed/IRed cascade also exhibits a complementarity with the recently reported EneIRED enzymes for the synthesis of cyclic six-membered ring amines. The ERed/IRed method yielded trans-1,2 and cis-1,3 substituted cyclohexylamines in high optical purities, whereas the EneIRED method was reported to yield one cis-1,2 and one trans-1,3 enantiomer. As a proof of concept, when 3-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one was converted into secondary and tertiary chiral amines with different amine donors, we could obtain all the four possible stereoisomer products. This result exemplifies the versatility of this method and its potential for future wider utilization in asymmetric synthesis by expanding the toolbox of currently available dehydrogenases via enzyme engineering and discovery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Biocatalysis has emerged as a powerful and useful strategy for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The outstanding developments in molecular biology techniques allow nowadays the screening, large-scale production, and designing of biocatalysts, adapting them to desired reactions. Many enzymes can perform reactions both in aqueous and non-aqueous media, broadening even further the opportunities to integrate them in complex pharmaceutical multi-step syntheses. AREAS COVERED This paper showcases several examples of biocatalysis in the pharmaceutical industry, covering examples of different enzymes, such as lipases, oxidoreductases, and transaminases, to deliver active drugs through complex synthetic routes. Examples are critically discussed in terms of reaction conditions, motivation for using an enzyme, and how biocatalysts can be integrated in multi-step syntheses. When possible, biocatalytic routes are benchmarked with chemical reactions. EXPERT OPINION The reported enzymatic examples are performed with high substrate loadings (>100 g L-1) and with excellent selectivity, making them inspiring strategies for present and future industrial applications. The combination of powerful molecular biology techniques with the needs of the pharmaceutical industry can be aligned, creating promising platforms for synthesis under more sustainable conditions.

Abstract
A one-pot catalytic synthesis of α-tetrasubstituted amino acid derivatives via in situ generation of N-unsubstituted ketimines is reported. Because of the irreversible formation of N-unsubstituted ketimines, the yields were higher than those generated under the conventional one-pot reaction conditions. This process prevents the need to isolate unstable N-unsubstituted ketimines with alkyl substituents and streamlines the synthesis of highly congested α-amino acid derivatives.

Abstract
Despite the frequent occurrence of γ-branched amines in bioactive molecules, the direct catalytic asymmetric synthesis of this structural motif containing a remote stereocenter remains an important synthetic challenge. Here, we report an amide-directed, rhodium-catalyzed highly diastereo- and enantioselective hydroboration of unactivated internal alkenes. This method provided facile access to enantioenriched amines containing β,γ-vicinal stereocenters. The application of this strategy to the synthesis of bioactive molecules was demonstrated. Computational studies indicated that migratory insertion of the alkene into rhodium hydride controls the enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Chiral amines are among the most important organic compounds and have widespread applications. Enantioselective construction of chiral amines is a major aim in organic synthesis. Among synthetic methods, direct functionalization of omnipresent C-H bonds with common organic nitrogen compounds represents one of the most attractive strategies. However, C-H amination strategies are largely limited to constructing a specific type of N-heterocycles or amine derivatives. To maximize the synthetic potential of asymmetric C-H amination, we report here an approach that unites the complementary reactivities of radical and ionic chemistry for streamlined synthesis of functionalized chiral amines. This synthesis merges the development of an enantioselective radical process for 1,5-C(sp 3)-H amination of alkoxysulfonyl azides via Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis with an enantiospecific ionic process for ring-opening of the resulting five-membered chiral sulfamidates by nucleophiles. Given that alkoxysulfonyl azides are derived from the corresponding alcohols, this approach offers a powerful synthetic tool for enantioselective β-C-H amination of common alcohols while converting the hydroxy group to other functionalities through formal nucleophilic substitution.

Abstract
Biocatalysis has become an attractive tool in modern synthetic chemistry both in academic and industrial settings, offering access to enantiopure molecules. In industry, biocatalysis found use in small molecule pharmaceutical development. For several amine-containing drugs, biotransformations were applied in the process routes, improving the original syntheses employing classical chemical methods. This review illustrates how and why biocatalysis has been applied to create safer, more efficient and less costly processes for the manufacture of chiral amine-containing pharmaceuticals and alkaloids. Several enzyme classes have been applied to syntheses of natural products, pharmaceutical products and their intermediates, including transaminases, imine reductases, monoamine oxidases and Pictet-Spenglerases. The routes with and without application of biocatalysis are compared, and the potential of these enzyme classes in redesigned synthetic routes to natural products, alkaloids and high-value chemicals is evaluated, using syntheses of sitagliptin, suvorexant, PF-04449913, MK-7246, vernakalant, GSK-2879552, boceprevir and (−)-strictosidine as examples. Application of biocatalysis in the synthesis of amine-containing pharmaceuticals constitutes a greener alternative to transition metal-catalysed routes, facilitates installation of chiral amine functionalities at a late stage of the synthesis and provides exquisite stereocontrol. Opportunities and challenges of biocatalysis for the synthesis of chiral amines are reviewed with respect to use in drug discovery and development.

Abstract
Efficient enantioselective separation using porous materials requires tailored and diverse pore environments to interact with chiral substrates; yet, current cage materials usually feature uniform pores. Herein, we report two porous assemblies, PCC-60 and PCC-67, using isostructural octahedral cages with intrinsic microporous cavities of 1.5 nm. The PCC-67 adopts a densely packed mode, while the PCC-60 is a hierarchically porous assembly featuring interconnected 2.4 nm mesopores. Compared with PCC-67, the PCC-60 demonstrates excellent enantioselectivity and recyclability in separating racemic diols and amides. This solid adsorbent PCC-60 is further utilized as a chiral stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), enabling the complete separation of six valuable pharmaceutical intermediates. According to quantitative dynamic experiments, the hierarchical pores facilitate the mass transfer within the superstructure, shortening the equilibrium time for adsorbing chiral substrates. Notably, this hierarchically porous material PCC-60 indicates remarkably higher enantiomeric excess (ee) values in separating racemates than PCC-67 with uniform microporous cavities. Control experiments confirm that the presence of mesopores enables the PCC-60 to separate bulky substrates.

Abstract
![]()
Chiral γ-branched
aliphatic amines are present in a large
number of pharmaceuticals and natural products. However, enantioselective
methods to access these compounds are scarce and mainly rely on the
use of designed chiral transition-metal complexes. Herein, we combined
an organocatalytic method for the stereospecific isomerization of
chiral allylic amines with a diastereoselective reduction of the chiral
imine/enamine intermediates, leading to γ-trifluoromethylated
aliphatic amines with two noncontiguous stereogenic centers, in excellent
yields and high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. This approach
has been used with primary amine substrates. This approach also provides
a new synthetic pathway to chiral trifluoromethylated scaffolds, of
importance in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, a gram-scale reaction
demonstrates the applicability of this synthetic procedure.

Abstract
Owing to the strong nucleophilicity of the NH2 group, free-NH2 glycinates react with MBH acetates to usually deliver N-allylated products even in the absence of catalysts. Without protection of the NH2 group, chiral pyridoxal catalysts bearing an amide side chain at the C3 position of the naphthyl ring switched the chemoselectivity of the glycinates from intrinsic N-allylation to α-C allylation. The reaction formed chiral multisubstituted glutamic acid esters as SN 2'-SN 2' products in good yields with excellent stereoselectivity (up to 86 % yield, >20 : 1 dr, 97 % ee). As compared to pyridoxal catalysts bearing an amide side arm at the C2 position, the pyridoxals in this study have a bigger catalytic cavity to enable effective activation of larger electrophiles, such as MBH acetates and related intermediates. The reaction is proposed to proceed via a cooperative bifunctional catalysis pathway, which accounts for the high level of diastereo- and enantiocontrol of the pyridoxal catalysts.
