Abstract
(R)-selective transaminases show promise as catalysts for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral amines, which are building blocks of various small molecule drugs. However, their application is limited by poor substrate acceptance and low catalytic efficiency. Here, a potential (R)-selective transaminase from Fodinicurvata sediminis (FsTA) was identified through a substrate truncating strategy, and used as starting point for enzyme engineering toward catalysis of 4-hydroxy-2-butanone, a substrate that poses challenges in catalysis. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations revealed Y90 as the key residue responsible for poor substrate binding. Starting from the variant (Y90F, mut1) with initial activity, FsTA was systematically modified to improve substrate-binding through active site reshaping and consensus sequence strategy, yielding three variants (H30R, V152K, and Y156F) with improved activity. A quadruple mutation variant H30R/Y90F/V152K/Y156F (mut4) was also found to show a 7.95-fold greater catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM) than the initial variant mut1. Furthermore, mut4 also enhanced the thermostability of enzyme significantly, with the Tm value increasing by 10 °C. This variant also exhibited significantly improved activity toward a series of ketones that are either not accepted or poorly accepted by the wild-type. This study provides a basis for the rational design of an active to creating variants that can accommodate novel substrates.

Cyclometallated Imides as Templates for the H-Bond Directed Iridium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of N-Methyl, N-Alkyl and N-Aryl Imines. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024:e202404955.

Abstract
A combined computational and experimental approach allowed us to develop overall the most selective catalyst for the direct hydrogenation of N-methyl, N-alkyl and N-aryl imines described to date. Iridium catalysts with a cyclometallated cyclic imide group provide selectivity of up to 99 % enantiomeric excess. Computational studies show that the selectivity results from the combined effect of H-bonding of the imide C=O with the substrate iminium ion and a stabilizing π-π interaction with the cyclometallated ligand. The cyclometallated ligand thus exhibits a unique mode of action, serving as a template for the H-bond directed approach of the substrate which results in enhanced selectivity. The catalyst (2) has been synthesized and isolated as a crystalline air-stable solid. X-ray analysis of 2 confirmed the structure of the catalyst and the correct position of the imide C=O groups to engage in an H-bond with the substrate. 19F NMR real-time monitoring showed the hydrogenation of N-methyl imines catalyzed by 2 is very fast, with a TOF of approx. 3500 h-1.

Abstract
ConspectusThe innovation of chiral ligands has been crucial for the asymmetric synthesis of functional molecules, as demonstrated by several types of widely applied "privileged" ligands. In this context, chiral pyridine-derived ligands, by far some of the oldest and most widely utilized ligands in catalysis, have attracted considerable research interest in the past half-century. However, the development of broadly applicable chiral pyridine units (CPUs) has been plagued by several intertwining challenges, thus delaying advancements in many asymmetric reactions.This Account aims to summarize the recent progress in new CPU-containing ligands, focusing on a rationally designed, modular, and tunable CPU developed in our laboratory. A significant problem thwarting conventional designs is the paradox between broad reactivity and stereoselectivity; that is, while enhanced stereoselectivity may be achieved by introducing chiral elements close to the N atom, the concomitant increase in local steric hindrance often limits catalytic activity and scope. Our newly developed CPU features a rigid [6-5-3] fused-ring framework and a tunable spirocyclic ketal side wall. The well-defined three-dimensional structure minimizes local (inner layer) steric hindrance and tunes the peripheral environment (outer layer) by remote substituents, thus securing reactivity and stereoselectivity. Different chelating ligands were readily assembled using this chiral structural module, with applications in mechanistically diverse transition-metal-catalyzed reactions. Thus, a series of chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligands were successfully employed in the development of a general, efficient, and highly enantioselective nickel-catalyzed intermolecular reductive addition, Ullmann coupling of ortho-chlorinated aryl aldehydes, and carboxylation of benzylic (pseudo)halides with CO2. Notably, these chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligands exhibited superior catalytic activity in the reactions compared to common N-based ligands. In addition, highly enantioselective iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation was developed using a CPU-containing N,B-bidentate ligand. Furthermore, mechanistically challenging, additive-free, and broad-scope transfer hydrogenative direct asymmetric reductive amination was achieved using a half-sandwich iridium catalyst supported by a chiral N,C-bidentate ligand. The new ligands demonstrated excellent performance in securing high catalytic activity and stereoselectivity, which, when combined with experimental and computational mechanistic investigations, supported the "double-layer control" design concept.Considering the broad applications of pyridine-derived ligands, the research progress described herein should inspire the creation of novel chiral catalysts and drive the development of many catalytic asymmetric reactions.

Abstract
A direct asymmetric reductive amination of α-keto acids catalyzed by Cp*Ir complexes bearing a chiral N-(2-picolyl)sulfonamidato ligand is described. The combined use of optically active 2-phenyglycinol as an aminating agent is effective for the chemo- and stereoselective transfer hydrogenation using formic acid. The subsequent elimination of the hydroxyethyl moiety by orthoperiodic acid can afford various unprotected α-amino acids in satisfactory isolated yields (20 examples) with excellent optical purities (up to >99% ee).

Abstract
Chiral amines are pivotal building blocks for the pharmaceutical industry. Asymmetric reductive amination is one of the most efficient and atom economic methodologies for the synthesis of optically active amines. Among the various strategies available, NAD(P)H-dependent amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) and imine reductases (IREDs) are robust enzymes that are available from various sources and capable of utilizing a broad range of substrates with high activities and stereoselectivities. AmDHs and IREDs operate via similar mechanisms, both involving a carbinolamine intermediate followed by hydride transfer from the co-factor. In addition, both groups catalyze the formation of primary and secondary amines utilizing both organic and inorganic amine donors. In this review, we discuss advances in developing AmDHs and IREDs as biocatalysts and focus on evolutionary history, substrate scope and applications of the enzymes to provide an outlook on emerging industrial biotechnologies of chiral amine production.

Abstract
By reshaping the substrate-binding pocket of β-amino acid dehydrogenase (β-AADH), some variants were obtained with up to 2560-fold enhanced activity toward the model substrates (S)-β-homophenylalanine and (R)-β-phenylalanine. A few aromatic β-amino acids were prepared with >99% ee and high isolated yields via either kinetic resolution of racemates or reductive amination of the corresponding β-keto acids. This work expands the catalytic capability of β-AADHs and highlights their practical application in the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant β-amino acids.

Abstract
Enantioenriched chiral amines are of exceptional importance in the pharmaceutical industry. Recently, several new methods for the installation of these functional groups directly from non-acidic C(sp3)-H bonds by catalytic intermolecular enantioselective amination have been reported. These methods represent significant advances of the field and most of them display high levels of enantioselectivity, utilize the C(sp3)-H substrate as the limiting reagent, feature good functional group tolerance, and show compatibility with late-stage C(sp3)-H amination of advanced substrates. This perspective provides an overview of the recent developments in this rapidly advancing field and outlines possibilities and limitations, which will help identify unsolved challenges and guide future research efforts.

Abstract
The direct catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of pyridines for the synthesis of piperidines remains a challenge. Herein, we report a one-pot asymmetric hydrogenation of pyridines with subsequent N-alkylation using a traceless Brønsted acid activation strategy. Catalyzed by an iridium-BINAP complex, the substrates undergo ketone reduction, cyclization and pyridine hydrogenation in sequence to form indolizidines and quinolizidines. The absolute configuration of the stereocenter of the alcohol is retained and influences the formation of the second stereocenter. Experimental and theoretical mechanistic studies reveal that the chloride anion and certain noncovalent interactions govern the stereoselectivity of the cascade reaction throughout the catalytic process.

Abstract
The enantioconvergent C(sp3)-N cross-coupling of racemic alkyl halides with (hetero)aromatic amines represents an ideal means to afford enantioenriched N-alkyl (hetero)aromatic amines yet has remained unexplored due to the catalyst poisoning specifically for strong-coordinating heteroaromatic amines. Here, we demonstrate a copper-catalyzed enantioconvergent radical C(sp3)-N cross-coupling of activated racemic alkyl halides with (hetero)aromatic amines under ambient conditions. The key to success is the judicious selection of appropriate multidentate anionic ligands through readily fine-tuning both electronic and steric properties for the formation of a stable and rigid chelating Cu complex. Thus, this kind of ligand could not only enhance the reducing capability of a copper catalyst to provide an enantioconvergent radical pathway but also avoid the coordination with other coordinating heteroatoms, thereby overcoming catalyst poisoning and/or chiral ligand displacement. This protocol covers a wide range of coupling partners (89 examples for activated racemic secondary/tertiary alkyl bromides/chlorides and (hetero)aromatic amines) with high functional group compatibility. When allied with follow-up transformations, it provides a highly flexible platform to access synthetically useful enantioenriched amine building blocks.

Abstract
Chiral diamines based on an 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline backbone, known as CAMPY (L1), or the 2-methyl substituted analogue Me-CAMPY (L2) were employed as novel ligands in Cp* metal complexes for the ATH of a series of substituted dihydroisoquinolines (DHIQs), known for being key intermediates in the synthesis of biologically active alkaloids. Different metal-based complexes were evaluated in this kind of reaction, rhodium catalysts, C3 and C4, proving most effective both in terms of reactivity and enantioselectivity. Although modest enantiomeric excess values were obtained (up to 69% ee in the case of substrate I), a satisfactory quantitative conversion was successfully fulfilled even in the case of the most demanding hindered substrates when La(OTf)3 was used as beneficial additive, opening up the possibility for a rational design of novel chiral catalysts alternatives to the Noyori-Ikariya (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN catalyst.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the development of a copper-catalyzed C(sp3 )-amination of proaromatic dihydroquinazolinones derived from ketones. The reaction is enabled by the intermediacy of open-shell species arising from homolytic C-C bond-cleavage driven by aromatization. The protocol is characterized by its operational simplicity and generality, including chemical diversification of advanced intermediates.

Abstract
An operationally simple process has been developed for the synthesis of unsymmetrical amines and α-amino carbonyl derivatives in the absence of a catalyst, ligand, oxidant, or any additives. Contrary to known reductive amination methods, this protocol is amenable to substrates containing other reducible groups. This process effectively results in consecutive cleavage and formation of C-N bonds. DFT studies and Hammett analysis provide useful insight into the mechanism. The role of noncovalent interactions as a stabilizing factor have been examined in the protocol. A wide range of alkyl-bromides have been coupled efficiently with a variety of dimethyl anilines to get unsymmetric tertiary amines with yields up to 90%. This methodology was further extended to the synthesis of α-amino carbonyl derivatives with yields up to 93%.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric reductive amination of ketones with pinacolborane employing chiral SPINOL-derived borophosphates as catalysts has been realized. A series of chiral amine derivatives bearing multiple functional groups were obtained in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 97% yield, 98% ee) under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the synthetic applicability of the established method has been demonstrated by the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-Fendiline.

Abstract
The sturdy chelation of 1,2-diamines and transition-metals would retard or even interrupt the routine catalytic cycles. In the amidation and asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) cascade reactions of diamines and ketoesters, we deployed sets of additives to ensure a smooth transformation catalyzed by the complexes of rhodium and versatile and highly modular phosphoramidite-phosphine ligands. The tunability of the ligands was fully exploited to accommodate various diamines and α-ketoesters for the efficient synthesis of chiral 3,4-dihydroquinoxalinones.

Abstract
Chiral compounds containing nitrogen heteroatoms are fundamental substances for the chemical, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. However, the preparation of some of these interesting scaffolds is still underdeveloped. Herein we present the synthesis of a family of P‐stereogenic phosphinooxazoline iridium catalysts from L‐threonine methyl ester and their use in the asymmetric hydrogenation of N‐Boc‐2,3‐diarylallyl amines, achieving very high enantioselectivity. Furthermore, the synthetic utility of the 2,3‐diarylpropyl amines obtained is demonstrated by their transformation to 3‐aryl‐tetrahydroquinolines and 4‐benzyl‐tetrahydroisoquinolines, which have not yet been obtained in an enantioselective manner by direct reduction of the corresponding aromatic heterocycles. This strategy allows the preparation of these types of alkaloids with the highest enantioselectivity reported up to date.

Abstract
A convenient asymmetric reductive amination of benzylic ketones (α-arylated ketones) catalyzed by newly designed Cp*Ir complexes bearing a chiral N-(2-picolyl)sulfonamidato ligand was developed. Using readily available β-amino alcohols as chiral aminating agents, a range of benzo-fused and acyclic ketones were successfully reduced with formic acid in methanol at 40 °C to afford amines with favorable chemo- and diastereoselectivities. The amino alcohol-derived chiral auxiliary was easily removed by mild periodic oxidants, leading to optically active primary β-arylamines without erosion of the optical purity (up to 97% ee). The excellent catalytic performance was retained even upon lowering the amount of catalyst to a substrate/catalyst (S/C) ratio of 20,000, and the amination could be performed on a large scale exceeding 100 g. The precise hydride transfer to iminium species generated from the ketonic substrate and the chiral amine counterpart was suggested by the mechanistic studies on stoichiometric reactions of isolable hydridoiridium complexes and model intermediates such as N,O-acetal, enamine, and iminium compounds.

Abstract
Direct asymmetric reductive amination is one of the most efficient methods for the construction of chiral amines, in which the scope of the applicable amine coupling partners remains a significant challenge. In this study we describe primary alkyl amines effectively serve as the N-sources in direct asymmetric reductive amination catalyzed by the iridium precursor and sterically tunable chiral phosphoramidite ligands. The density functional theory studies of the reaction mechanism imply the alkyl amine substrates serve as a ligand of iridium strengthened by a (N)H-O(P) hydrogen-bonding attraction, and the hydride addition occurs via an outer-sphere transition state, in which the Cl-H H-bonding plays an important role. Through this concise procedure, cinacalcet, tecalcet, fendiline and many other related chiral amines have been synthesized in one single step with high yields and excellent enantioselectivity. Direct asymmetric reductive amination is one of the most efficient methods for obtaining chiral amines. Here the authors show how primary alkyl amines can undergo this transformation in the presence of an iridium catalyst with sterically tuneable chiral phosphoramidite ligands, achieving the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds.

Abstract
Chirality is a central feature in the evolution of biological systems, but the reason for biology’s strong preference for specific chiralities of amino acids, sugars, and other molecules remains a controversial and unanswered question in origins of life research. Biological polymers tend toward homochiral systems, which favor the incorporation of a single enantiomer (molecules with a specific chiral configuration) over the other. There have been numerous investigations into the processes that preferentially enrich one enantiomer to understand the evolution of an early, racemic, prebiotic organic world. Chirality can also be a property of minerals; their interaction with chiral organics is important for assessing how post-depositional alteration processes could affect the stereochemical configuration of simple and complex organic molecules. In this paper, we review the properties of organic compounds and minerals as well as the physical, chemical, and geological processes that affect organic and mineral chirality during the preservation and detection of organic compounds. We provide perspectives and discussions on the reactions and analytical techniques that can be performed in the laboratory, and comment on the state of knowledge of flight-capable technologies in current and future planetary missions, with a focus on organics analysis and life detection.

Abstract
Chiral amines are key structural motifs present in a wide variety of natural products, drugs, and other biologically active compounds. During the past decade, significant advances have been made with respect to the enantioselective synthesis of chiral amines, many of them based on catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation (AH). The present review covers the use of AH in the synthesis of chiral amines bearing a stereogenic center either in the α, β, or γ position with respect to the nitrogen atom, reported from 2010 to 2020. Therefore, we provide an overview of the recent advances in the AH of imines, enamides, enamines, allyl amines, and N-heteroaromatic compounds.

Abstract
The synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines through the reductive amination of carbonyl compounds is one of the most significant reactions in synthetic chemistry. Asymmetric reductive amination for the formation of chiral amines, which are required for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other bioactive molecules, is often achieved through transition metal catalysis, but biocatalytic methods of chiral amine production have also been a focus of interest owing to their selectivity and sustainability. The discovery of asymmetric reductive amination by imine reductase (IRED) and reductive aminase (RedAm) enzymes has served as the starting point for a new industrial approach to the production of chiral amines, leading from laboratory-scale milligram transformations to ton-scale reactions that are now described in the public domain. In this perspective we trace the development of the IRED-catalyzed reductive amination reaction from its discovery to its industrial application on kg to ton scale. In addition to surveying examples of the synthetic chemistry that has been achieved with the enzymes, the contribution of structure and protein engineering to the understanding of IRED-catalyzed reductive amination is described, and the consequent benefits for activity, selectivity and stability in the design of process suitable catalysts. IRED-catalyzed reductive aminations have progressed from mg to ton scale, through advances in enzyme discovery, protein engineering and process biocatalysis.![]()

Abstract
Catalytic reduction of oximes represents a direct efficient approach to synthesize valuable hydroxylamine derivatives. However this transformation presents significant challenges: oximes are hard to reduce and, if reactive, reductive cleavage of the weak N−O bond often leads to primary amine side products. The first suitable systems involved the use of platinum‐based heterogeneous catalysts with hydrogen as reductant and stoichiometric amounts of a strong Brønsted acid. More recently metal‐free and transition‐metal‐based homogeneous catalysts have been developed, which display the highest turnovers (up to 4000). In the asymmetric variants, the E/Z‐geometry of the oxime double bond affects significantly the stereoselectivity, sometimes requiring extra synthetic efforts in substrate preparation. This minireview provides an overview of the advances and limitations in catalytic oxime to hydroxylamine reduction. Emphasis is put on highlighting and comparing the practical aspects of the existing methods, such as their reaction conditions and substrate scope. Additionally, future directions for improving this young research area are suggested.

Abstract
A series of half-sandwich Ir(III) complexes 1-6 bearing an amidato bidentate ligand were conveniently synthesized and applied to the catalytic Leuckart-Wallach reaction to produce racemic α-chiral primary amines. With 0.1 mol% of complex 1, a broad range of ketones, including aryl ketones, dialkyl ketones, cyclic ketones, α-keto acids, α-keto esters and diketones, could be transformed to their corresponding primary amines with moderate to excellent yields (40%-95%). Asymmetric transformation was also attempted with chiral Ir complexes 3-6, and 16% ee of the desired primary amine was obtained. Despite the unsatisfactory enantio-control achieved so far, the current exploration might stimulate more efforts towards the discovery of better chiral catalysts for this challenging but important transformation.

Abstract
Asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) is one of the most promising methods for the synthesis of chiral amines. Herein we report our efforts on merging two ARA reactions into a single-step transformation. Catalyzed by a complex formed from iridium and a steric hindered phosphoramidite, readily available and inexpensive aromatic ketones initially undergo the first ARA with ammonium acetate to afford primary amines, which serve as the amine sources for the second ARA, and finally provide the enantiopure C2 -symmetric secondary amine products. The developed process competently enables the successive coupling of inorganic and organic nitrogen sources with ketones in the same reaction system. The Brønsted acid additive plays multiple roles in this procedure: it accelerates the formation of imine intermediates, minimizes the inhibitory effect of N-containing species on the iridium catalyst, and reduces the primary amine side products.
