A simple and efficient organocatalytic enantioselective hydrophosphonylation of imines to enantiomerically enriched alpha-amino phosphonates is reported. By using 10 mol % of quinine as the catalyst in the enantioselective addition of diethyl phosphite to N-Boc protected imines, alpha-amino phosphonates are obtained in moderate to good yields and with up to 94% ee.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for C-H functionalization of heteroaryl compounds is introduced, which involves a process called dearomative addition followed by hydrogen autotransfer.
- This process starts with the hydroruthenation of dienes to create allylruthenium nucleophiles, leading to branched C-C coupling products through addition and β-hydride elimination.
- The study also details the formation of enantiomerically enriched heteroarylethyl alcohols and amines through oxidative cleavage and dynamic kinetic asymmetric reduction, supported by density functional theory calculations linking regioselectivities to molecular factors.

Regiodivergent asymmetric synthesis represents a transformative strategy for the efficient generation of structurally diverse chiral products from a single set of starting materials, significantly enriching their enantiomeric composition. However, the design of radical-mediated regiodivergent and enantioselective reactions that can accommodate a wide range of functional groups and substrates has posed significant challenges. The obstacles primarily lie in switching the regioselectivity and achieving high enantiodiscrimination, especially when dealing with high-energy intermediates.

Cyclopropanols have attracted significant attention in organic synthesis as versatile three-carbon synthons, as this readily available class of donor-activated cyclopropanes undergoes miscellaneous transformations, either ring-opening or with retention of the cyclopropane ring. This review summarizes stereoselective and stereoretentive transformations suitable for asymmetric synthesis. The utility of cyclopropanols is discussed for two main strategies: (i) substrate-controlled transformations using enantiomerically enriched cyclopropanol intermediates through a traditional approach, and (ii) the use of nonchiral or racemic cyclopropanols, where asymmetric induction is achieved through a chiral catalyst, representing a direction that has recently emerged.

Nanosized chiral octahedral M coordination cages were prepared self-assembly of sulfonylcalix[4]arene tetranuclear M(II) clusters (M = Co or Ni) with enantiomerically enriched linkers based on tris(dipyrrinato)cobalt(III) complexes, appended with peripheral carboxylic groups. Two pairs of enantiomers of cages were obtained and unambiguously characterized from a structural point of view, using single crystal X-ray diffraction. Chiral-HPLC was used to evidence the enantiomers.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for creating enantiomerically enriched (S)-α-aminopropionic acid derivatives was developed using a reaction called Cu(I) catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition, which combines azides with alkynes.
- The process started with a specific nickel complex and involved several key chemical components, including Schiff bases and phenyl azides.
- The absolute configuration and purity of the resulting amino acids were confirmed through advanced techniques like circular dichroism and chiral HPLC analysis, leading to the successful synthesis of seven new non-proteinogenic (S)-α-amino acids.
