[reaction: see text] [2.2]Paracyclophane-based ketimine ligands were evaluated as catalysts for the enantioselective addition of in situ-prepared alkynylzinc reagents to aldehydes. The initial high activity and enantioselectivity of these ligands could be improved by an additive screening. The final protocol gives chiral propargyl alcohols in up to >98% ee.

Planar chirality found tremendous use in many fields, such as chemistry, optics, and materials science. In particular, planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophanes (PCPs) are a type of structurally interesting and practically useful chiral compounds bearing unique electronic and photophysical properties and thus have been widely used in π-stacking polymers, organic luminescent materials, and as a valuable toolbox for developing chiral ligands or organocatalysts.

Article Synopsis
- The catalytic asymmetric transformation of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) is an important method for creating a variety of enantioenriched molecules, but using tetrasubstituted DACs to generate products with quaternary stereocenters has been a persistent challenge.
- This study introduces a copper-catalyzed asymmetric aminative ring-opening process for tetrasubstituted alkynyl DACs that successfully produces a wide range of α-tertiary amines with high enantioselectivity.
- The resulting products, which contain alkyne, amine, and ester groups, open up new possibilities for synthesizing bioactive molecules, with mechanism studies highlighting the significance of a zwitter

Chiral fully-substituted allenes are synthetically significant and pivotal building blocks that can engage in diverse transformations toward a variety of bioactive molecules. The enantioselective assembly of these skeletons using readily available reactants offers significant advantages but remains challenging. Herein, an asymmetric formal Michael-type addition of alkynyl imines with the key alkylgold intermediates derived in situ from N-propargylamides is accomplished under gold-complex and chiral quinine-derived squaramide (QN-SQA) synergetic catalysis.

The tethered counterion-directed catalysis (TCDC) strategy enables the Au(I)-catalyzed highly enantioselective synthesis of bicyclic furan derivatives via a reaction sequence combining the cycloisomerization of 2-alkynyl enones and the addition of nucleophiles. A large range of oxygenated nucleophiles, such as water, alcohols, carboxylic acids, and peroxides, have successfully been used as nucleophiles, delivering the chiral furane derivatives in high enantioselectivities (mostly above 90% enantiomeric excess). The CPAphosAuCl complexes were used with catalytic loadings as low as 0.

Chiral pincer complexes, characterized by their rigid tridentate coordination framework, have emerged as powerful catalysts in asymmetric synthesis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the development of chiral pincer-type ligands and their corresponding transition metal complexes. We highlight the latest progress in their application across a range of catalytic asymmetric reactions, including the (transfer) hydrogenation of polar and non-polar bonds, hydrophosphination, alkynylation, Friedel-Crafts reactions, enantioselective reductive cyclization of alkynyl-tethered cyclohexadienones, enantioselective hydrosilylation, as well as Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions.
