A method was developed for the enantioselective formal 1,2-diamination of disubstituted ketenes using iminosulfinamides as nitrogen sources. The protocol involves the addition of lithium iminosulfinamides to ketenes to form -iminosulfinyl amide metalloenolates. These metalloenolates then undergo a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to yield unnatural α,α-disubstituted α-amino acid derivatives with high enantiopurity. The chirality present at the sulfur atom in the iminosulfinamides is effectively transferred to α carbon of the resulting products, facilitating the highly enantioselective amination of ketenes.

The [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides is traditionally observed as a competitive minor pathway alongside the thermally allowed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Concerted [1,2]-rearrangements are formally forbidden, with these processes believed to proceed through homolytic C-N bond fission of the ylide, followed by radical-radical recombination. The challenges associated with developing a catalytic enantioselective [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides therefore lie in biasing the reaction pathway to favor the [1,2]-reaction product, alongside controlling a stereoselective radical-radical recombination event.

Skeletal editing represents an attractive strategy for adding complexity to a given molecular scaffold in chemical synthesis. Isodesmic reactions provide a complementary skeletal editing approach for the redistribution of chemical bonds in chemical synthesis. However, catalytic enantioselective isodesmic reaction is extremely scarce and enantioselective isodesmic reaction to synthesize atropisomeric compounds is unknown.

Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed enantioselective formal (3+3) and (3+2) cycloaddition reaction of isatin-derived tertiary propargylic esters with N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid and 4-hydroxycoumarins, respectively. In this process, the tertiary propargylic ester serves as both C3- and C2-synthons, facilitating the synthesis of optically active spirooxindole-pyran and furan scaffolds featuring an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter. The reaction delivers these spirocyclic frameworks in good yields with high enantioselectivities.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces CoNSA-POase, an artificial peroxygenase made from single-atom cobalt supported on polymeric carbon nitrogen, which shows excellent performance in converting aromatic alkanes to ketones.
- Density functional theory indicates that this artificial enzyme operates via a different catalytic mechanism compared to natural peroxygenases.
- The integration of CoNSA-POase with other enzymes in continuous-flow systems enhances the efficient production of chiral alcohols and amines, suggesting potential advancements in enzyme-based applications.

A copper catalyzed enantioselective formal aza-Diels-Alder reaction of formed 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes from α-halohydrazones and vinyl diazo compounds was described. The protocol provides a variety of optically enriched diazo-containing tetrahydropyridazines in moderate yields and with up to excellent enantioselectivities. The present methodologies utilize chiral oxazolines as the chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis and feature mild reaction conditions, readily available substrates, and broad substrate scope.
