Abstract
Catalytic hydrocupration of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds to generate organometallic nucleophiles has recently become an attractive alternative to conventional stoichiometric reagents in the stereoselective synthesis. Herein, we have developed an efficient and economical method to synthesize enantiopure α-hydroxy allyl ketones via a copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed hydroacylation of alkoxyallenes, a significant advancement given the scarcity of reports on such scaffolds in the literature. DFT calculations reveal that this reaction proceeds through the nucleophilic attack of a kinetically favourable Z-selective allyl-copper intermediate on acid anhydrides via a six-membered chair-like transition state, stabilized by strongly attractive non-covalent interactions that ultimately leads to high level of enantioselectivities using the simple BINAP ligand. This method successfully overcomes the challenges of over-reduction of carbonyl functionality in the presence of CuH-complex, olefin isomerization and the presence of a highly enolizable α-stereocenter, which can lead to erosion in enantioselectivities, making our strategy highly desirable. The reaction exhibits a wide range of substrate scope including symmetrical as well as carbonic anhydrides with both aromatic, and aliphatic substitutions. In addition, α-substituted acid anhydrides provide exclusive syn-selective α,α'-disubstituted allyl ketones in excellent enantiomeric ratios, where the nucleophilic allylation occurs on one of the carbonyls containing the matched α-stereocenter, confirmed with mechanistic studies.

Abstract
Transaminases (EC 2.6.1.X, TAs) are important biocatalysts in the synthesis of chiral amines, and have significant value in the field of medicine. However, TAs suffer from low enzyme activity and poor catalytic efficiency in the synthesis of chiral amines or non-natural amino acids, which hinders their industrial applications. In this study, a novel TA derived from Paracoccus pantotrophus (ppTA) that was investigated in our previous study was employed with a semi-rational design strategy to improve its enzyme activity to 2-ketobutyrate. By using homology modeling and molecular docking, four surrounding sites in the substrate-binding S pocket were selected as potential mutational sites. Through alanine scanning and saturation mutagenesis, the optimal mutant V153A with significantly improved enzyme activity was finally obtained, which was 578 % higher than that of the wild-type ppTA (WT). Furthermore, the mutant enzyme ppTA-V153A also exhibited slightly improved temperature and pH stability compared to WT. Subsequently, the mutant was used to convert 2-ketobutyrate for the preparation of L-2-aminobutyric acid (L-ABA). The mutant can tolerate 300 mM 2-ketobutyrate with a conversion rate of 74 %, which lays a solid foundation for the preparation of chiral amines.

Evolving ω-amine transaminase AtATA guided by substrate-enzyme binding free energy for enhancing activity and stability against non-natural substrates. Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0054324. [PMID: 38864627 PMCID: PMC11267935 DOI: 10.1128/aem.00543-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
In the field of chiral amine synthesis, ω-amine transaminase (ω-ATA) is one of the most established enzymes capable of asymmetric amination under optimal conditions. However, the applicability of ω-ATA toward more non-natural complex molecules remains limited due to its low transamination activity, thermostability, and narrow substrate scope. Here, by employing a combined approach of computational virtual screening strategy and combinatorial active-site saturation test/iterative saturation mutagenesis strategy, we have constructed the best variant M14C3-V5 (M14C3-V62A-V116S-E117I-L118I-V147F) with improved ω-ATA from Aspergillus terreus (AtATA) activity and thermostability toward non-natural substrate 1-acetylnaphthalene, which is the ketone precursor for producing the intermediate (R)-(+)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine [(R)-NEA] of cinacalcet hydrochloride, showing activity enhancement of up to 3.4-fold compared to parent enzyme M14C3 (AtATA-F115L-M150C-H210N-M280C-V149A-L182F-L187F). The computational tools YASARA, Discovery Studio, Amber, and FoldX were applied for predicting mutation hotspots based on substrate-enzyme binding free energies and to show the possible mechanism with features related to AtATA structure, catalytic activity, and stability in silico analyses. M14C3-V5 achieved 71.8% conversion toward 50 mM 1-acetylnaphthalene in a 50 mL preparative-scale reaction for preparing (R)-NEA. Moreover, M14C3-V5 expanded the substrate scope toward aromatic ketone compounds. The generated virtual screening strategy based on the changes in binding free energies has successfully predicted the AtATA activity toward 1-acetylnaphthalene and related substrates. Together with experimental data, these approaches can serve as a gateway to explore desirable performances, expand enzyme-substrate scope, and accelerate biocatalysis.IMPORTANCEChiral amine is a crucial compound with many valuable applications. Their asymmetric synthesis employing ω-amine transaminases (ω-ATAs) is considered an attractive method. However, most ω-ATAs exhibit low activity and stability toward various non-natural substrates, which limits their industrial application. In this work, protein engineering strategy and computer-aided design are performed to evolve the activity and stability of ω-ATA from Aspergillus terreus toward non-natural substrates. After five rounds of mutations, the best variant, M14C3-V5, is obtained, showing better catalytic efficiency toward 1-acetylnaphthalene and higher thermostability than the original enzyme, M14C3. The robust combinational variant acquired displayed significant application value for pushing the asymmetric synthesis of aromatic chiral amines to a higher level.

Abstract
A sustainable, cyanide-free synthesis of alkyl nitriles via the aerobic oxidative deconstruction of unstrained cycloalkanones with ammonium salts has been developed. Using inexpensive and stable ammonium salts as the nitrogen source, a variety of alkyl nitriles containing a distal carbonyl group were obtained in good yields under visible-light-promoted iron catalysis. This protocol is characterized by mild conditions, abundant and environmentally benign materials, and high atom and step economy with minimal waste generation. The primary mechanism study revealed that 1O2 is likely to be involved in this reaction.

Abstract
The appeal of catalytic click chemistry is largely due to the copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) process, which is orthogonal to the more recently introduced sulfur-fluoride exchange (SuFEx). However, the triazole rings generated by CuAAC are not readily modifiable, and SuFEx connectors cannot be selectively functionalized, attributes that would be attractive in a click process. Here we introduce bisphosphine-copper-catalysed phenoxydiazaborinine formation (CuPDF), a link-and-in situ modify strategy for merging a nitrile, an allene, a diborane and a hydrazine. We also present copper- and palladium-catalysed quinoline formation (Cu/PdQNF), which is applicable in aqueous media, involving an aniline as the modifier. CuPDF and Cu/PdQNF are easy to perform and deliver robust, alterable and tunable fluorescent hubs. CuPDF and Cu/PdQNF are orthogonal to SuFEx and CuAAC, despite the latter and CuPDF also being catalysed by an organocopper species. These advantages were applied to protecting group-free syntheses of sequence-defined branched oligomers, a chemoselectively amendable polymer, three drug conjugates and a two-drug conjugate.

Abstract
Allylation and propargylation are two powerful synthetic strategies for making new substances that have been of significant importance in chemistry, medicine, and material fields. Conventional tactics employ various preformed allylation and propargylation reagents. In this study, a conceptually novel copper-catalyzed and B2pin2-mediated Umpolung reactivity of propargylic carbonates has been achieved for the first time, realizing both allylation and propargylation of aldehydes and ketones without additional reductants. Three types of allylation products and one type of propargylation product are generated efficiently, and all allylation products are formed with syn-configurations predominantly. The choice of ligands plays a vital role in modulating the Umpolung modes. The synthetic applications have been demonstrated in a myriad of further transformations including natural product synthesis, and systematic mechanistic studies have been conducted to reveal detailed insights into the Umpolung processes.

Abstract
Herein we report the utilization of N-heterocyclic nitrenium ions - easily prepared, bench-stable and non-oxidating nitrogen sources for the efficient electrophilic amination of aliphatic and aromatic organometallic nucleophiles, towards the facile and general preparation of primary amines. To this end, a plethora of abundant organolithium and organomagnesium reagents were combined with nitrenium salts to generate a variety of previously unexplored N-alkyl and N-aryl triazanes. Through the simple hydrogenolysis of these relatively stable triazanes, we have prepared a diverse scope of primary amines, including linear and branched aliphatic as well as (hetero)aromatic amines possessing various stereo-electronic substituents. Furthermore, we present the facile synthesis of valuable 15N-labelled primary amines from easily prepared 15N-labelled nitrenium salts, as well as a one-pot approach to biologically relevant primary amines. Finally, a recyclable variant of the nitrenium precursor was prepared and a simple recovery protocol was developed to improve the atom-economy of this procedure.

Abstract
ConspectusIn this Account, we share the story of the development of catalytic olefin metathesis processes that efficiently deliver a wide range of acyclic and macrocyclic E- or Z-trisubstituted alkenes. The tale starts with us unveiling, in collaboration with Richard Schrock and his team, the blueprint in 2009 for the design of kinetically controlled Z-selective olefin metathesis reactions. This paved the way for the development of Mo-, W-, and Ru-based catalysts and strategies for synthesizing countless linear and macrocyclic Z-olefins. Six years later, in 2015, we found that abundant Z-alkene feedstocks, such as oleic acid, can be directly transformed to high-value and more difficult-to-access alkenes through a cross-metathesis reaction promoted by a Ru-catechothiolate complex that we had developed; the approach, later coined stereoretentive olefin metathesis, was extended to the synthesis of E-alkenes.It was all about disubstituted alkenes until when in 2017 we addressed the challenge of accessing stereodefined Z- and E-trisubstituted alkenes, key to medicine and materials research. These transformations can be most effectively catalyzed by Mo monoaryloxides pyrrolide (MAP) and chloride (MAC) complexes. A central aspect of the advance is the merging of olefin metathesis, which delivered trisubstituted alkenyl fluorides, chlorides, and bromides with cross-coupling. These catalytic and stereoretentive transformations can be used in various combinations, thereby enabling access to assorted Z- or E-trisubstituted alkene. Ensuing work led to the emergence of other transformations involving substrates that can be purchased with high stereoisomeric purity, notably E- and Z-trihalo alkenes. Trisubstituted olefins, Z or E, bearing a chemoselectively and stereoretentively alterable F,Cl-terminus or B(pin),Cl-terminus may, thus, be easily and reliably synthesized. Methods for stereoretentive preparation of other alkenyl bromide regioisomers and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic and thiol esters, nitriles, and acid fluorides followed, along with stereoretentive ring-closing metathesis reactions that afford macrocyclic trisubstituted olefins. Z- and E-Macrocyclic trisubstituted olefins, including those that contain little or no entropic support for cyclization (minimally functionalized) and/or are disfavored under substrate-controlled conditions, can now be synthesized. The utility of this latest chapter in the history of olefin metathesis has been highlighted by applications to the synthesis of several biologically active compounds, as well as their analogues, such as those marked by one or more site-specifically incorporated fluorine atoms or more active but higher energy and otherwise unobtainable conformers.The investigations discussed here, which represent every stereoretentive method that has been reported thus far for preparing a trisubstituted olefin, underscore the inimitable power of Mo-based catalysts. This Account also showcases a variety of mechanistic attributes─some for the first time, and each instrumental in solving a problem. Extensive knowledge of mechanistic nuances will be needed if we are to address successfully the next challenging problem, namely, the development of catalysts and strategies that may be used to synthesize a wide range of tetrasubstituted alkenes, especially those that are readily modifiable, with high stereoisomeric purity.

Abstract
Cu-catalyzed highly stereoselective and enantiodivergent syntheses of (Z)- or (E)-β,γ-unsaturated ketones from 1,3-butadienyl silanes are developed. The nature of the silyl group of the dienes has a significant impact on the stereo- and enantioselectivity of the reactions. Under the developed catalytic systems, the reactions of acyl fluorides with phenyldiemthylsilyl-substituted 1,3-diene gave (Z)-β,γ-unsaturated ketones bearing an α-tertiary stereogenic center with excellent enantioselectivities and high Z-selectivities, where the reactions with triisopropylsilyl-substituted 1,3-butadiene formed (E)-β,γ-unsaturated ketones with high optical purities and excellent E-selectivities. The products generated from the reactions contain three functional groups with orthogonal chemical reactivities, which can undergo a variety of transformations to afford synthetically valuable intermediates.

Abstract
An unprecedented but challenging defluorinative arylboration has been achieved. Enabled by a copper catalyst, an interesting procedure on defluorinative arylboration of styrenes has been established. With polyfluoroarenes as the substrates, this methodology offers flexible and facile access to provide a diverse assortment of products under mild reaction conditions. In addition, by using a chiral phosphine ligand, an enantioselective defluorinative arylboration was also realized, affording a set of chiral products with unprecedented levels of enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric geminal bis-nucleophilic addition to nonreactive functional groups is a type of highly desirable yet challenging transformation in organic chemistry. Here, we report the first catalytic asymmetric reductive/deoxygenative alkynylation of secondary amides. The method is based on a multicatalysis strategy that merges iridium/copper relay catalysis with organocatalysis. A further combination with the palladium-catalyzed alkyne hydrogenation allows the one-pot enantioselective reductive alkylation of secondary amides. This versatile protocol allows the efficient synthesis of four types of α-branched chiral amines, which are prevalent structural motifs of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The protocol also features excellent enantioselectivity, chemoselectivity, and functional group tolerance to be compatible with more reactive functional groups such as ketone and aldehyde. The synthetic utility of the method was further demonstrated by the late-stage functionalization of two drug derivatives and the concise, first catalytic asymmetric approach to the κ-opioid antagonist aticaprant.

Abstract
A reaction intermediate is a key molecular entity that has been used in explaining how starting materials converts into the final products in the reaction, and it is usually unstable, highly reactive, and short-lived. Extensive efforts have been devoted in identifying and characterizing such species via advanced physico-chemical analytical techniques. As an appealing alternative, trapping experiments are powerful tools in this field. This trapping strategy opens an opportunity to discover multicomponent reactions. In this work, we report various highly diastereoselective and enantioselective four-component reactions (containing alcohols, diazoesters, enamines/indoles and aldehydes) which involve the coupling of in situ generated intermediates (iminium and enol). The reaction conditions presented herein to produce over 100 examples of four-component reaction products proceed under mild reaction conditions and show high functional group tolerance to a broad range of substrates. Based on experimental and computational analyses, a plausible mechanism of this multicomponent reaction is proposed.

Abstract
![]()
Functionalized alicyclic amines are important building
blocks for
the synthesis of bioactive natural compounds and drugs. Existing methods
of functionalization are typically limited to the synthesis of protected
amines or the use of highly basic organometallic reagents that can
compromise functional group tolerance. Here, we report a novel approach
that enables the transformation of O-benzoyl hydroxylamines
into α-functionalized cyclic secondary amines by means of a
copper-catalyzed regio-, stereo-, and chemoselective coupling with
allenes and bis(pinacolato)diboron. A key feature of the present transformation
is the use of a catalytic Lewis base additive which inhibits the competing
C–N bond forming reaction between the catalytically generated
boron-substituted allylcopper intermediate with the O-benzoyl hydroxylamine, thus enabling in situ transformation of the
latter into an alicyclic imine which undergoes selective C–C
bond formation with the allylcopper species.

Abstract
Organoboron reagents represent a unique class of compounds because of their utility in modern synthetic organic chemistry, often affording unprecedented reactivity. The transformation of the carbon-boron bond into a carbon-X (X = C, N, and O) bond in a stereocontrolled fashion has become invaluable in medicinal chemistry, agrochemistry, and natural products chemistry as well as materials science. Over the past decade, first-row d-block transition metals have become increasingly widely used as catalysts for the formation of a carbon-boron bond, a transformation traditionally catalyzed by expensive precious metals. This recent focus on alternative transition metals has enabled growth in fundamental methods in organoboron chemistry. This review surveys the current state-of-the-art in the use of first-row d-block element-based catalysts for the formation of carbon-boron bonds.

Abstract
A pair of chiral bis(amidine) [BAM] proton complexes provide reagent (catalyst)-controlled, highly diastereo- and enantioselective direct aza-Henry reactions leading to α-alkyl-substituted α,β-diamino esters. A C2-symmetric ligand provides high anti-selectivity, while a nonsymmetric congener exhibits syn-selectivity in this example of diastereodivergent, enantioselective catalysis. A detailed computational analysis is reported for the first time, one that supports distinct models for selectivity resulting from the more hindered binding cavity of the C1-symmetric ligand. Binding in this congested pocket accommodates four hydrogen bond contacts among ligands and substrates, ultimately favoring a pre-syn arrangement highlighted by pyridinium-azomethine activation and quinolinium-nitronate activation. The complementary transition states reveal a wide range of alternatives. Comparing the C1- and C2-symmetric catalysts highlights distinct electrophile binding orientations despite their common hydrogen bond donor-acceptor features. Among the factors driving unusual high syn-diastereoselection are favorable dispersion forces that leverage the anthracenyl substituent of the C1-symmetric ligand.

Abstract
Though numerous cyanation reactions have been developed for the synthesis of benzonitriles, the construction of valuable fully substituted benzonitriles is still a challenging task. Herein, we reported a tertiary amine-catalyzed [3 + 3]-benzannulation for the green synthesis of CF3-functionalized fully substituted benzonitriles. This strategy features exclusive chemoselectivity, high atom-economy, and good step-economy with environment-friendly reagents and mild conditions. Unique triphenyl-substituted dicyanobenzoate products could be rapidly constructed using this method. The practicality and reliability of this reaction were proved by the successful scale-up synthesis. A mechanistic study indicates that the [3 + 3]-benzannulation was initiated by an intermolecular Rauhut-Currier reaction.

Abstract
Multisubstituted allylic boronates are attractive and valuable precursors for the rapid and stereoselective construction of densely substituted carbon skeletons. Herein, we report the first synthetic approach for differentially 2,3,3-trialkyl-substituted allylic boronates that contain a stereodefined tetrasubstituted alkene structure. Copper(I)-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective three-component coupling reactions between gem-dialkylallenes, alkyl halides, and a diboron reagent afforded sterically congested allylic boronates. The allylboration of aldehydes diastereoselectively furnished the corresponding homoallylic alcohols that bear a quaternary carbon. A computational study revealed that the selectivity-determining mechanism was correlated to the coordination of a boryl copper(I) species to the allene substrate as well as the borylcupration step.

Abstract
Borylative difunctionalization of alkenes has emerged as a powerful approach for synthesizing highly functionalized molecules. Herein, dual Cu/Pd-catalysed borylfluoroallylation of alkenes was smoothly achieved by using gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes and B2pin2, providing the corresponding monofluoroalkene scaffolds in moderate to high yields with excellent stereoselectivity. Moreover, an array of synthetic building blocks can be obtained by downstream transformations.

Abstract
A diastereoselective copper and NHC-ligand-catalyzed three-component difunctionalization of allenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron and 2H-azirines to afford borylated allylaziridines is described. The reaction exhibits complete diastereoselectivity and good yields, and the further chlorination of the corresponding borylated products was also performed. It is believed that the high ring-strain force of 2H-azirines facilitates the reaction. More chemical transformations of borylated allylaziridines are also reported.

Abstract
CuH and CuBpin are versatile catalysts and intermediates in organic chemistry. However, studies that involve both CuH and CuBpin in the same reaction is still rarely reported due to their high reactivity. Now, a study on CuH- and CuBpin-catalyzed borylative methylation of alkyl iodides with CO as the C1 source is reported. Various one carbon prolongated alkyl boranes (RCH2 Bpin and RCH(Bpin)2 ) were produced in moderate to good yields from the corresponding alkyl iodides (RI). In this cooperative system, CuH reacts with alkyl iodide faster than CuBpin.

Abstract
Chiral 1,2-diamino compounds are important building blocks in organic chemistry for biological applications and as asymmetric inducers in stereoselective synthesis that are challenging to prepare in a straightforward and stereoselective manner. Herein, we disclose a cost-effective and readily available Cu-catalyzed system for the reductive coupling of a chiral allenamide with N-alkyl substituted aldimines to access chiral 1,2-diamino synthons as single stereoisomers in high yields. The method shows broad reaction scope and high diastereoselectivity and can be easily scaled using standard Schlenk techniques. Mechanistic investigations by density functional theory calculations identified the mechanism and origin of stereoselectivity. In particular, the addition to the imine was shown to be reversible, which has implications toward development of catalyst-controlled stereoselective variants of the identified reductive coupling of imines and allenamides.

Abstract
A mild copper-mediated protocol has been developed for borylation of alkynyl cyclic carbonates. Depending on the nature of the borylating reaction partner, either stereoselective diborylation of the propargylic surrogate takes place, providing convenient access to (E)-1,2-borylated 1,3-dienes, or traceless monoborylation occurs, which leads to α-hydroxyallenes as the principal product. The dichotomy in this borylation protocol has been scrutinized by several control experiments, illustrating that a relatively small change in the diboron(4) reagent allows for competitive alcohol-assisted protodemetalation to forge an α-hydroxyallene product under ambient conditions.

Abstract
We report a means to achieve the addition of two disparate nucleophiles to the amide carbonyl carbon in a single operational step. Our method takes advantage of non-precious-metal catalysis and allows for the facile conversion of amides to chiral alcohols via a one-pot Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling/transfer-hydrogenation process. This study is anticipated to promote the development of new transformations that allow for the conversion of carboxylic acid derivatives to functional groups bearing stereogenic centers via cascade processes.

Abstract
The Cu-catalyzed asymmetric carboboration of cyclohexadienone-tethered allenes has been achieved through regioselective β-borylation of the allenes and subsequent conjugate addition to cyclohexadienones, affording cis-bicyclic frameworks with acceptable yields and high to excellent enantioselectivities. Further conjugate borylation of the carboboration products proved to be a favorable kinetic resolution process, which improved the overall enantioselectivity. Finally, one-pot preparation of highly enantioenriched tricyclo[5.2.2.04,9]undecanes was developed from the cyclohexadienone-tethered allenes through β-borylation/1,4-addition and subsequent tandem oxidation/intramolecular aldol reaction.

Abstract
Copper-catalyzed borylative multicomponent reactions (MCRs) involving olefins and C-N electrophiles are a powerful tool to rapidly build up molecular complexity. The products from these reactions contain multiple functionalities, such as amino, cyano and boronate groups, that are ubiquitous in medicinal and process chemistry programs. Copper-catalyzed MCRs are particularly attractive because they use a relatively abundant and non-toxic catalyst to selectively deliver high-value products from simple feedstocks such as olefins. In this Minireview, we explore this rapidly emerging field and survey the borylative union of allenes, dienes, styrenes and other olefins, with imines, nitriles and related C-N electrophiles.

Abstract
A widely applicable, practical, and scalable strategy for efficient and enantioselective synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated ketones that contain an α-stereogenic center is disclosed. Accordingly, aryl, heteroaryl, alkynyl, alkenyl, allyl, or alkyl ketones that contain an α-stereogenic carbon with an alkyl, an aryl, a benzyloxy, or a siloxy moiety can be generated from readily available starting materials and by the use of commercially available chiral ligands in 52-96% yield and 93:7 to >99:1 enantiomeric ratio. To develop the new method, conditions were identified so that high enantioselectivity would be attained and the resulting α-substituted NH-ketimines, wherein there is strong C═N → B(pin) coordination, would not epimerize before conversion to the derived ketone by hydrolysis. It is demonstrated that the ketone products can be converted to an assortment of homoallylic tertiary alcohols in 70-96% yield and 92:8 to >98:2 dr-in either diastereomeric form-by reactions with alkyl-, aryl-, heteroaryl-, allyl-, vinyl-, alkynyl-, or propargyl-metal reagents. The utility of the approach is highlighted through transformations that furnish other desirable derivatives and a concise synthesis route affording more than a gram of a major fragment of anti-HIV agents rubriflordilactones A and B and a specific stereoisomeric analogue.

Abstract
A copper-based complex that contains a sulfonate N-heterocyclic carbene ligand was first reported 15 years ago. Since then, these organometallic entities have proven to be uniquely effective in catalyzing an assortment of enantioselective transformations, including allylic substitutions, conjugate additions, proto-boryl additions to alkenes, boryl and silyl substitutions, hydride-allyl additions to alkenyl boronates, and additions of boron-containing allyl moieties to N-H ketimines. In this review article, we detail the shortcomings in the state-of-the-art that fueled the development of this air stable ligand class, members of which can be prepared on multigram scale. For each reaction type, when relevant, the prior art at the time of the advance involving sulfonate NHC-Cu catalysts and/or subsequent key developments are briefly analyzed, and the relevance of the advance to efficient and enantioselective total or formal synthesis of biologically active molecules is underscored. Mechanistic analysis of the structural attributes of sulfonate NHC-Cu catalysts that are responsible for their ability to facilitate transformations with high efficiency as well as regio- and enantioselectivity are detailed. This review contains several formerly undisclosed methodological advances and mechanistic analyses, the latter of which constitute a revision of previously reported proposals.

Abstract
A protocol of highly regio- and enantioselective copper-catalyzed hydroacylation of the non-terminal C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond in 1,1-disubstituted terminal allenes with anhydrides has been developed. Both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic anhydrides are applicable to the efficient construction of all carbon quarternary centers connected with a versatile C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond and a useful ketone functionality. The synthetic potentials of the enantioenriched products have also been demonstrated. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to explain the steric outcome of the products: the hydroacylation proceeds through a six-membered transition state and the ligand-substrate steric interactions account for the observed enantioselectivity although the chiral ligand is far away from the to-be-genetated chiral center.

Abstract
α-Chiral primary amines are one among the most valuable and versatile building blocks for the synthesis of numerous amine-containing pharmaceuticals and natural compounds. They also serve as chiral ligands or organo-catalysts for asymmetric catalysis. However, most of the existing chemocatalytic methods toward enantiopure primary amines rely on multistep manipulations on N-substituted substrates, which are not ideally atom-economical and cost-effective. Among the catalytic methods including the asymmetric transformations of the pre-prepared or in situ formed NH imines, biomimetic chemocatalysis inspired by enzymatic transaminations has recently emerged as an appealing and straightforward method to access chiral primary amines. This tutorial review highlights the state-of-the-art catalytic methods for the direct asymmetric synthesis of α-chiral primary amines and demonstrates their utility in the construction of molecular complexities, which may attract extensive attention and inspire applications in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Various new transformations of gem-difluoroalkenes leading to trifluoromethyl substituted compounds have been well established in the past years. However, the development of new transformations of gem-difluoroenynes lags much behind. Herein is reported the fluoroarylation of 1,1-difluoro-1,3-enynes with aryl halides in the presence of silver fluoride affording trisubstituted trifluoromethyl allenes under the catalysis of palladium. The reaction features mild conditions, high functional-group tolerance, and high regioselectivity.
