Photoinduced Cobalt-Catalyzed Desymmetrization of Dialdehydes to Access Axial Chirality

Hao Jiang et al.

Summary: Enantioselective metallaphotoredox catalysis is an effective method to achieve stereoconvergence by combining photoredox catalysis and asymmetric transition-metal catalysis under mild conditions. However, the construction of axial chirality by metallaphotoredox catalysis has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we report two visible light-induced cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric reductive couplings of biaryl dialdehydes to synthesize axially chiral aldehydes with high yields, diastereomer ratio, and enantioselectivity.

Synthetic strategies and mechanistic studies of axially chiral styrenes

Zi-Hao Li et al.

Summary: Axially chiral molecules, a subclass of molecular chirality, are extensively used in chiral ligands and catalysts and exist in biologically active compounds. Atropisomeric styrenes, which have constrained rotation of the C(vinyl)-C(aryl) bond, have gained recent attention and numerous methods have been developed for their chemical preparation. This review discusses synthetic strategies and mechanistic studies of axially chiral styrenes, aiming to provide inspiration and advice for scientists interested in this topic.

Catalytic atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral benzonitriles via chirality control during bond dissociation and CN group formation

Ya Lv et al.

Summary: In this study, an unusual strategy for the selective synthesis of benzonitriles via the formation of nitrile units on structures with stereogenic axes was developed. The method provides access to axially chiral benzonitriles with high yields and enantioselectivities, which can be easily converted to functional molecules through a dynamic kinetic resolution process.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Atropisomeric Biaryl Phosphorus Compounds by Chiral-Phosphonium-Salt-Enabled Cascade Arene Formation

Lixiang Zhu et al.

Summary: An effective and modular method for synthesizing axially chiral biaryl molecules bearing phosphorus groups has been developed. This method involves the cascade reaction between phosphorus-containing nitroolefins and alpha,alpha-dicyanoolefins catalyzed by a chiral phosphonium salt. The reaction pathway includes cycloaddition, oxidative hydroxylation, and aromatization, and features chirality transfer from the central to axial position.

Synthesis of Axially Chiral Biaryls via Enantioselective Ullmann Coupling of ortho-Chlorinated Aryl Aldehydes Enabled by a Chiral 2,2′-Bipyridine Ligand

Saima Perveen et al.

Summary: The first nickel-catalyzed highly enantioselective reductive Ullmann coupling of ortho-chlorinated aryl aldehyde was achieved under mild reaction conditions using a chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligand (+)-DTB-SBpy, resulting in the synthesis of axially chiral biphenyl or binaphthyl dials with high yields and enantioselectivities. The versatility of the products as common synthetic intermediates for diverse axially chiral ligands, catalysts, and functional molecules was demonstrated through short-step transformations. Additionally, this protocol enabled the concise and highly enantioselective formal total synthesis of biologically active natural products.

Enantiodivergent Kinetic Resolution of 1,1′-Biaryl-2,2′-Diols and Amino Alcohols by Dipeptide-Phosphonium Salt Catalysis Inspired by the Atherton-Todd Reaction

Siqiang Fang et al.

Summary: An innovative enantiodivergent organocatalytic method was developed for the synthesis of atropisomeric biaryls, inspired by a dipeptide-phosphonium salt-catalyzed Atherton-Todd reaction. The method allowed for the production of both R- and S-enantiomers with high selectivity factors, showcasing the potential of the newly synthesized O-phosphorylated biaryl diols. Mechanistic investigations revealed the crucial role of hydrogen bonding interactions between the catalysts and phosphorus molecules in asymmetric induction.

Recent Advances in Catalytic Asymmetric Construction of Atropisomers

Jun Kee Cheng et al.

Summary: Atropisomerism is a stereochemical behavior exhibited by three-dimensional molecules with rotationally restricted sigma bonds, and compounds with atropisomerically chiral properties are increasingly utilized in fields where molecular asymmetry is influential. There is a steady demand for atroposelective synthesis, leading to conceptually novel and streamlined methods for expanding the structural diversity of atropisomers. This review summarizes key achievements in the stereoselective preparation of biaryl, heterobiaryl, and nonbiaryl atropisomers between 2015 and 2020, emphasizing synthetic strategies for each structural class and potential applications of atropochiral targets.
