6-Aryl-5,6-dihydrodibenzo[][1,2]azaborinines display restricted rotation at the boron-carbon aryl bond, yielding conformational isomers or atropisomers. The stereodynamic processes were monitored by variable-temperature NMR (D-NMR), dynamic enantioselective HPLC (D-HPLC), or kinetic racemization measurements. The absolute configuration of stable atropisomers (compound , Δ = 26.0 kcal·mol) was determined by TD-DFT simulation of the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The racemization energy of is more than 12 kcal·mol smaller than its isostere 9-(2-methylnaphthalen-1-yl)phenanthrene.

The Pd-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenolysis rearrangement of allylic acetates using (s-Bu)3BHK has been described, achieving the synthesis of axially chiral alkylidene cycloalkanes with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and a wide substrate scope (30 examples of cyclohexanes and cyclobutanes). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to achieve synthesis of axially chiral olefins via asymmetric hydrogenolysis of allylic acetates. This methodology not only offers a novel synthetic pathway for non-atropisomeric axially chiral structures but also highlights the potential of asymmetric hydrogenolysis as a powerful tool in synthetic organic chemistry.

With the rapid advancements in asymmetric catalysis, there is a growing need for the asymmetric selective synthesis of complex and diverse molecules with chiral axes. Axially chiral molecules are not only present in natural products and drugs but also in specialized chiral ligands and catalysts. The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of axially chiral molecules has garnered significant attention within the chemical community.

A new approach is introduced to control the metal-centred configuration of stereogenic-at-iron catalysts by utilizing axial ligand chirality, which becomes locked upon metal coordination. This strategy is applied to an iron catalyst containing two chelating -(2-pyridyl)-substituted triazol-5-ylidene mesoionic carbenes (MICs) resulting in a helical topology with a stereogenic iron centre.

Highly fluorinated naphthyl aldehyde and binaphthyl aldehyde ()- were designed and synthesized for fluorous-phase-based sensing. Greatly enhanced sensitivity and chemoselectivity in going from to ()- in the fluorescent detection of cysteine has been discovered. This is attributed to the increased structural rigidity of the axially chiral binaphthyl unit in ()- upon reaction with cysteine to form the corresponding thiazolidine product.

Chiral organic molecules with a complementing π-structure are highly desired to obtain materials with good semiconducting properties and pronounced chirality effects in the visible region. Herein, we introduce a novel design strategy to achieve an axially chiral and rigid perylene bisimide (PBI) dye by attaching the chirality-inducing 2,2'-biphenoxy moiety at one side of the bay area and the rigidity-inducing di--butylsilanediol bridge on the other side. This yielded a new bay-functionalized PBI derivative carrying the combination of a highly rigid and, simultaneously, an axially chiral perylene core.
