The Pd-catalysed asymmetric intramolecular alpha-arylation of amide enolates containing heteroatom substituents gives chiral 3-alkoxy or 3-aminooxindoles in high yield and with enantioselectivities up to 97% ee when a new chiral N-heterocyclic carbene ligand is used.

An -heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed atroposelective [3 + 3] annulation of alkynyl acylazoliums with benzothiazole derivatives has been developed for the divergent synthesis of axially chiral triaryl 2-pyranones and fused 2-pyridones. The regioselectivity of this protocol depends on the structure of benzothiazoles with three different nucleophilic centers. The obtained axially chiral frameworks represent a new class of arylheterocycle atropisomers, which may be potentially useful in medicinal chemistry.

Axial chirality is present in a variety of naturally occurring compounds, and is becoming increasingly relevant also in medicine. Many axially chiral compounds are important as catalysts in asymmetric catalysis or have chiroptical properties. This review overviews recent progress in the synthesis of axially chiral compounds via asymmetric organocatalysis.

Divergent synthesis of valuable molecules through common starting materials and metal catalysis represents a longstanding challenge and a significant research goal. We here describe chemodivergent, highly enantio- and regioselective nickel-catalyzed reductive and dehydrogenative coupling reactions of alkynes, aldehydes, and silanes. A single chiral Ni-based catalyst is leveraged to directly prepare three distinct enantioenriched products (silyl-protected trisubstituted chiral allylic alcohols, oxasilacyclopentenes, and silicon-stereogenic oxasilacyclopentenes) in a single chemical operation.
