The enantioselective synthesis of chiral [7]-helical dispirodihydro[2,1-c]indenofluorenes (DSF-IFs) was achieved for the first time in good yields with high er values (er up to 99 : 1). The crucial step of the whole reaction sequence was the enantioselective intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition of tethered triynediols to indenofluorenediols, which was catalyzed by a Rh/SEGPHOS® complex. Further transformations led to the corresponding DSF-IFs. The prepared helically chiral DSF-IFs combine circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity (g =∼10 ) with exceptionally high fluorescence quantum yields (up to Φ =0.97).

Rhodium-Catalyzed Allylic Amination for the Enantioselective Synthesis of Tertiary β-Fluoroamines.

The utilization of β-fluoroamines as pharmaceutical components for drug development has attracted a considerable amount of interest. However, direct access to tertiary β-fluoroamines is challenging. We herein report the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric amination of tertiary allylic trichloroacetimidates with anilines and cyclic aliphatic amines to access tertiary β-fluoroamines, where the α-carbon atom is bonded to four different substituents, in good yield with high levels of enantioselectivity.

Regiodivergent asymmetric synthesis represents a transformative strategy for the efficient generation of structurally diverse chiral products from a single set of starting materials, significantly enriching their enantiomeric composition. However, the design of radical-mediated regiodivergent and enantioselective reactions that can accommodate a wide range of functional groups and substrates has posed significant challenges. The obstacles primarily lie in switching the regioselectivity and achieving high enantiodiscrimination, especially when dealing with high-energy intermediates.

The enantioselective [3+2] annulation of readily accessible aldimines with alkynes via C-H activation is, in principle, a straightforward and atom-efficient route for synthesizing chiral 1-aminoindenes, which are important components in a wide array of natural products, bioactive molecules, and functional materials. However, such asymmetric transformation has remained undeveloped to date due to the lack of suitable chiral catalysts. Here, we report for the first time the enantioselective [3+2] annulation of aldimines with alkynes via C-H activation using chiral half-sandwich scandium catalysts.

Here, we demonstrated a copper(II)-catalyzed enantioselective addition of aryl amines to isatin-derived -Boc-ketimines using chiral O-N-N tridentate ligands derived from BINOL and proline. Generally, the chiral acyclic ,'-ketals were obtained in high yields (up to 98%) and excellent ee values (up to 98%). Various aryl amines could be tolerated and a gram-scale reaction was also possible.
