In the presence of a rhodium catalyst (5 mol %) generated in situ from [Rh(cod)Cl](2) and (S,S')-(R,R')-C(2)-ferriphos (4a), the asymmetric ring-opening reaction of azabenzonorbornadienes (1a-m) with various aliphatic and aromatic amines (2a-l) proceeded with high enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) to give the corresponding 1,2-diamine derivatives 3 in high yields. In the specific case of pyrrolidine as nucleophile, Et(3)NHCl was necessary as an additive for good reactivity and enantioselectivity. Additionally, a practical protocol was developed for the ring-opening of 1a with volatile amines at elevated temperatures and standard pressure, using R(2)NH(2)I and i-Pr(2)NEt. The experimental results showed that the nature of the chiral ligand has the significant impact on the reactivity of the catalyst and the use of excess amount (2.2 eq to Rh) of the chiral ligand plays an important role to improve the enantioselectivity in the present asymmetric reaction.

Three two-dimensional (2D) chiral Ag(I) complexes with formulas [Ag(L)(5-nipa)] (), [Ag(L)(5-nipa)] (), and {[Ag(L)(5-hipa)]·2HO} () were prepared through the reactions of AgO with enantiopure -monodentate N-donors (L/L) and different dicarboxylic acids bearing A (acceptor)-π-- and D (donor)-π--type structural features, where / = (-)/(+)-2-(4'-pyridyl)-4,5-pinene-pyridine, 5-Hnipa = 5-nitroisophthalic acid, and 5-Hhipa = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid. A study of their nonlinear optical responses reveals that chiral and enantiomeric pairs with the A-π--type dicarboxylic acid ligand simultaneously display second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG and THG) responses, while chiral containing the D-π--type dicarboxylic acid ligand only exhibits a very strong THG response. The THG intensity of is 451 × α-SiO, being about 27 and 24 times larger than those of and , respectively.

The azahelicenes are structurally fascinating and practically useful chiral scaffolds, but their synthesis, especially in a catalytically asymmetric manner, is rather challenging. Herein, we report a CPA-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation process, which enables a rapid kinetic resolution of aza[6]helicenes. The established strategy provides facile access to enantioenriched aza[6]helicenes and tetrahydro[6]helicenes from easily available starting materials.

Chiral metal organic cage compounds with excellent circularly polarized luminescent performance have broad application prospects in many fields. Herein, two lanthanide complexes with luminescent properties in the form of racemic hexagonal octahedral cages were synthesized using a tri (β-diketone) ligand. Eu6(C21H6F15O6)8(H2O)6 exhibited red light emission with high quantum yields of 61%.

The ligand-free Lewis acid-mediated regioselective hydroamination and hydroarylation of styrenes have been successfully developed in the presence of isatins or heterocyclic aryl compounds such as benzothiophenes and benzofurans. The reactions tolerate a variety of functional groups and afford the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Deuterium labeling experiments show that the functionalized hydrogen of styrenes was derived from the nitrogen-hydrogen of the substrates in the hydroamination.

Chiral allyl amines are important structural components in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and chiral catalysts. Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective reductive coupling of imines with internal alkynes to synthesize chiral allyl amines. The reaction is catalyzed by a cobalt complex derived from commercially available bisphosphine ligand utilizing zinc as the electron donor.
