[reaction: see text] New axially chiral 2,2'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxides were obtained by a new method that does not involve any procedures for the separation of enantiomers. One of the dioxides, (R)-3,3'-bis(hydroxymethyl)-6,6'-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide, exhibited extremely high catalytic activity for the asymmetric allylation of aldehydes with allyl(trichloro)silane. The allylation of aromatic aldehydes proceeded in the presence of 0.01 or 0.1 mol % of the dioxide catalyst to give the corresponding homoallyl alcohols of up to 98% ee.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) film attracted considerable attention in information storage and encryption, three-dimensional display, and chiral recognition. However, due to the limited molecular mobility within thin film, achieving a high asymmetry factor and non-contact modulation of CPL remain challenging. In this work, color-switchable homochiral CPL films with high luminescence asymmetry factor (glum~0.

Aldol reactions are one of the most fundamental organic reactions involving the formation of carbon-carbon bonds that are commonly used in the synthesis of complex molecules through the condensation of an enol or enolate with a carbonyl group. The aldol reaction of thiohydantoin derivatives with benzaldehyde starts with hydrogen removal from C5 by lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) to form the enolate. Benzaldehyde adds to the enolate either at the less or more hindered site.

Chirality has garnered significant attention in the scientific community since its discovery by Louis Pasteur over a century ago. It has been showing a profound impact on chemical, biomedical, and materials sciences. Significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for advancements in the asymmetric catalytic synthesis of molecules with central and axial chirality.

The development of chiral BODIPYs attracts remarkable interest due to their unique properties, structural diversity, and good photochemical stability, whereas achieving the construction of chiral BODIPYs maintains scarce. Herein, we present an enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral BODIPYs through Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. The newly synthesized chiral BODIPYs and the coassembly showed desirable photophysical properties, including high fluorescence quantum yields and intense CPL, both in solution and the solid state.

Skeletal editing represents an attractive strategy for adding complexity to a given molecular scaffold in chemical synthesis. Isodesmic reactions provide a complementary skeletal editing approach for the redistribution of chemical bonds in chemical synthesis. However, catalytic enantioselective isodesmic reaction is extremely scarce and enantioselective isodesmic reaction to synthesize atropisomeric compounds is unknown.
