The synthesis of chiral, nonracemic difluoromethylthio (SCFH) compounds that contain a tetrasubstituted stereogenic center is reported. Racemic α-SCFH-β-ketoallylesters 5 were initially prepared by an electrophilic difluoromethylthiolation of β-ketoallylesters 6, followed by a Pd-catalyzed Tsuji decarboxylative asymmetric allylic alkylation (DAAA) to provide a wide variety of chiral, nonracemic α-allyl-α-SCFH-ketones (4) with high enantiopurity. This strategy can be extended to the enantioselective synthesis of chiral, nonracemic α-allyl-α-trifluoromethylthio(SCF)-ketones (7).

Diarylmethanes play, in part, a pivotal role in the design of highly potent, chiral, nonracemic drugs whose bioactivity is typically affected by the substitution pattern of their arene units. In this context, certain arenes such as -substituted benzenes or unsubstituted heteroarenes cause particular synthetic challenges, since such isosteric residues at the central methane carbon atom are typically indistinguishable for a chiral catalyst. Hence, the stereoselective incorporation of isosteric (hetero)arenes into chiral methane scaffolds requires the use of stoichiometrically differentiated building blocks, which is typically realized through preceding redox-modifying operations such as metalation or halogenation and thus associated with disadvantageous step- and redox-economic traits.

Nucleoside analogues have seen significant advancements in treating viral infections and cancer through ProTide technology, leading to a series of FDA-approved drugs such as sofosbuvir, tenofovir alafenamide, and remdesivir. The stereochemical configuration at the phosphorus center of ProTides significantly influences their pharmacological properties, necessitating efficient stereoselective synthesis. Traditional methods using chiral auxiliaries or nonracemic phosphorylating agents are labor-intensive and inefficient, while recent organocatalytic approaches, despite their promise, still face limitations.

The distinctive features of gold self-relay catalysts were alternatively utilized in the intriguing cascade condensation of 2-aminobenzaldehydes with alcohols and amines. Using NaAuCl·2HO as a catalyst, a range of 13-alkyloxy-7,11-dihydro-6,13-6,12-[1,2]benzenoquinazolino[3,4-]quinazoline derivatives was produced in good to high yields through AB condensation of various 2-aminobenzaldehydes with alcohols. By carefully choosing the reaction conditions, gold catalysis also proved effective for AB condensation with primary aryl- and benzylamines, facilitating the synthesis of challenging McGeachin bisaminals, including a chiral nonracemic derivative of 2-()-methylbenzylamine.
