Article Abstract
A highly atroposelective synthesis of nonbiaryl N-C atropisomers was achieved via direct aminations of 1,3-benzenediamines with azodicarboxylates enabled by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. A series of N-substituents, benzene-substituents and azodicarboxylates were well tolerated, generating N-C atropisomers with high configurational stability. The facile derivatizations and utilizations of the chiral products as novel chiral organocatalysts demonstrate the value of these reactions.

pH-Responsive molecular switches and motors are a class of organic molecules whose three-dimensional structure can be changed by acid-base stimuli. To date, pH-responsive molecular switches have been developed using various functional groups, but further advances require expanding the range of pH-responsive systems and discovering new molecular architectures. Here, we investigate the pH-responsive behavior of -disubstituted benzamidine, which generates atropisomers and / isomers.

Catalyst-guided divergent synthesis marks a paradigm shift in organic synthesis, offering transformative potential to access structurally diverse molecules. By leveraging symmetric enolates as programmable synthons, we established a catalyst-guided atroposelective - and -acylation for the switchable divergent synthesis of N-C and N-N axially chiral pyridones. The outstanding enantio- and regiocontrol (- vs -acylation) originated from the development of new chiral 4-pyrrolidinopyridine (PPY) derivatives and PPY--oxides as orthogonal acyl-transfer catalysts.

Here we present an enantioselective intramolecular hydroamination reaction of -aminophenyl-1,3-enynes via cooperative catalysis of Pd(0) and chiral phosphoric acid. This approach enables the efficient construction of N-N/C-N axially stereogenic indoles with broad skeletal diversity and high levels of enantioselectivity in a completely atom-economic manner. Mechanistic studies indicate that a protonation of the alkyne moiety via Pd(0) π-Lewis base activation is favored, and the chiral phosphate counteranion plays a crucial role in controlling the atroposelectivity in the ring-closure step.

A symmetric anion mediated dynamic kinetic asymmetric Knoevenagel reaction was established as a general and efficient method for accessing both N-C and N-N atropisomers. The resulting highly enantio-pure pyridine-2,6(1H,3H)-diones exhibit diverse structures and functional groups. The key to excellent regio- and remote enantiocontrol could be owed to the hydrogen bond between the enolate anion and triflamide block of the organocatalyst.

ConspectusAtropisomers bearing a rotation-restricted axis are common structural units in natural products, chiral ligands, and drugs; thus, the prevalence of asymmetric synthesis has increased in recent decades. Research into atropisomers featuring an N-containing axis (N-X atropisomers) remains in its infancy compared with the well-developed C-C atropisomer analogue. Notably, N-X atropisomers could offer divergent scaffolds, which are extremely important in bioactive molecules.
