In recent years, enantioselective cooperative catalytic reactions, wherein two catalysts work simultaneously to form products which cannot be obtained by the use of a single catalyst alone, have attracted considerable attention. This review focuses on this emerging field, with particular emphasis on mechanistic aspects, which will help readers to understand the role of each catalyst.

Neutral dual hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) are effective catalysts that enhance the electrophilicity of substrates or the Lewis/Brønsted acidity of reagents through an anion-binding mechanism. Despite their success in various enantioselective organocatalytic reactions, their application to transition metal catalysis remains rare. Herein, we report the activation of gold(I) precatalysts by chiral ureas, leading to enantioselective hydroarylation of allenes with indoles.

Cellulose is one of the most abundant biopolymers in nature. Despite being the subject of research in various fields, it is not as famous as chitosan in catalyst design. Herein, a novel thiourea-functionalized cellulose (CTU-6) was synthesized as a robust hydrogen bonding catalyst with the degree of substitution (DS) of 0.

Article Synopsis
- Chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) combines a metal racemization catalyst and an enzyme to effectively convert racemic compounds into enantiopure products, with compatibility between the two catalysts as a significant challenge.
- The study introduces a reliable ligand that enhances the coordination between the metal and the ligand, enabling better performance in the DKR process.
- An efficient DKR method was developed using a copper catalyst and lipase LPL-311-Celite, successfully producing high yields of chiral BINOLs and other functionalized chiral biaryls, with a proposed mechanism involving a radical-anion intermediate facilitating the reaction.
Iridium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Vinylogous and Bisvinylogous Allenylic Substitution.

Compared to the widely explored enol silanes, the applicability of their extended variants especially as bisvinylogous nucleophiles in enantioselective catalysis has been sparse. Herein, we describe the first enantioselective vinylogous and bisvinylogous allenylic substitution using silyl dienol and trienol ethers, respectively, as a nucleophile. With racemic allenylic alcohols as the electrophile, these enantioconvergent reactions are cooperatively catalyzed by an Ir(I)/(phosphoramidite,olefin) complex and Lewis acidic La(OTf) and display remarkable regio- and diastereoselectivity in most cases.
