A green way to amino acids: α-Tetrasubstituted α-amino acid derivatives are formed in high yield and enantioselectivity by using a Rh-catalyzed enantioselective alkynylation of α-ketiminoesters. This reaction, which involves a proton transfer and can be conducted at room temperature, has high substrate scope (see scheme; Cbz = benzyloxycarbonyl, Fmoc = 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl).

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.

Herein, we report an example of a stereoselective γ-addition reaction of trifluoromethyl ketimines to 1-alkynyl ketones mediated by an isothiourea, BTM, under mild conditions, which afforded tetrasubstituted allenes with central chiralities in high yields (up to 94% yield), good enantioselectivities (up to 91% ee), and excellent diastereoselectivities (all >20 : 1 dr). In addition, the BTM-catalyzed γ-addition reaction was successfully applied to the gram-scale reaction, and an unexpected benzopyrrolothiazine derivative was successfully converted, albeit racemic.
