Abstract
Herein we have developed a highly practical and efficient one-step coupling protocol for the synthesis of chiral spiro diphosphine ligands, especially for the oxa-spiro diphosphine ligands O-SDP, which showed excellent reactivity and diastereoselectivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of a key intermediate of Sacubitril. It should be noted that the one-step coupling protocol could be operated on a kilogram scale, and the resulting ruthenium catalyst of O-SDP could hydrogenate the key intermediate of Sacubitril on an industrial scale.

Abstract
Despite half a century's advance in the field of transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric alkene hydrogenation, the enantioselective hydrogenation of purely alkyl-substituted 1,1-dialkylethenes has remained an unmet challenge. Herein, we describe a chiral PCNOx-pincer iridium complex for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of this alkene class with ethanol, furnishing all-alkyl-substituted tertiary stereocenters. High levels of enantioselectivity can be achieved in the reactions of substrates with secondary/primary and primary/primary alkyl combinations. The catalyst is further applied to the redox isomerization of disubstituted alkenols, producing a tertiary stereocenter remote to the resulting carbonyl group. Mechanistic studies reveal a dihydride species, (PCNOx)Ir(H)2, as the catalytically active intermediate, which can decay to a dimeric species (κ3-PCNOx)IrH(μ-H)2IrH(κ2-PCNOx) via a ligand-remetalation pathway. The catalyst deactivation under the hydrogenation conditions with H2 is much faster than that under the transfer hydrogenation conditions with EtOH, which explains why the (PCNOx)Ir catalyst is effective for the transfer hydrogenation but ineffective for the hydrogenation. The suppression of di-to-trisubstituted alkene isomerization by regioselective 1,2-insertion is partly responsible for the success of this system, underscoring the critical role played by the pincer ligand in enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of 1,1-dialkylethenes. Moreover, computational studies elucidate the significant influence of the London dispersion interaction between the ligand and the substrate on enantioselectivity control, as illustrated by the complete reversal of stereochemistry through cyclohexyl-to-cyclopropyl group substitution in the alkene substrates.

Abstract
In contrast to previous approaches to chiral α-aryl carboxylic acids that based on reactions using hazardous gases, pressurized setup and mostly noble metal catalysts, in this work, a nickel-catalyzed general, efficient and highly enantioselective carboxylation reaction of racemic benzylic (pseudo)halides under mild conditions using atmospheric CO2 has been developed. A unique chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligand named Me-SBpy featuring compact polycyclic skeleton enabled both high reactivity and stereoselectivity. The utility of this method has been demonstrated by synthesis of various chiral α-aryl carboxylic acids (30 examples, up to 95 % yield and 99 : 1 er), including profen family anti-inflammatory drugs and transformations using the acids as key intermediates. Based on mechanistic experimental results, a plausible catalytic cycle involving Ni-complex/radical equilibrium and Lewis acid-assisted CO2 activation has been proposed.

Abstract
A readily available and highly modular class of chiral P,N,N-ligands based on a structurally flexible nonchiral phosphine-amine framework with an optically active 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine unit bearing a tertiary amine terminus as the chiral source have been developed and successfully applied in the Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of o-amidophenyl ketones. These tridentate P,N,N-ligands exhibited excellent activity, enantioselectivity, and substrate tolerance, thus furnishing various optically active o-amidobenzhydrols in up to 99% yields and with >99% ee. The utility of this protocol has been proven by synthetically diverse product transformation and highly enantioselective production of a rice plant growth regulator, (S)-inabenfide.

Abstract
The transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric cycloisomerization of 1,7-enynes is regarded as a formidable challenge due to the poor ability of 1,7-enynes to serve as bidentate ligands to metal. In this Letter, a highly enantioselective rhodium(I)-catalyzed Alder-ene-type cycloisomerization of 1,7-enynes is disclosed, offering an efficient method for the synthesis of a wide range of fused six-membered cyclic compounds. Furthermore, a high turnover frequency experiment and deuterium-labeling experiment were performed to give insight into this transformation.

Abstract
Asymmetric hydrogenation of tetrasubstituted alkenes remains a formidable challenge in asymmetric catalysis. We report herein an unprecedented Rh-catalyzed enantioselective and diastereoselective hydrogenation of easily accessed α,β-disubstituted unsaturated lactams to afford synthetically valuable chiral lactams with 1,2-consecutive stereocenters. The reaction could be performed on the gram scale, and the products could be concisely transformed to enantiomerically pure trans-3,4-disubstituted piperidines, which are prevalent structural units in medicinal agents.

Abstract
Chiral carboxylic acids bearing an α-stereogenic center constitute the backbone of many natural products and therapeutic reagents as well as privileged chiral ligands and catalysts. Hence, it is not surprising that a large number of elegant catalytic asymmetric strategies have been developed toward the efficient synthesis of α-chiral carboxylic acids, such as α-hydroxy acids and α-amino acids. In this review, the recent advances in asymmetric synthesis of α-stereogenic free carboxylic acids via organocatalysis and transition metal catalysis are summarized (mainly from 2010 to 2020). The content is organized by the reaction type of the carboxyl source involved, including asymmetric functionalization of substituted carboxylic acids, cyclic anhydrides, α-keto acids, substituted α,β-unsaturated acids and so on. We hope that this review will motivate further interest in catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral α-substituted carboxylic acids.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions have been a powerful tool in organic synthesis for many years. The design of chiral ligands with the right configuration is fundamental to induce high regio- and stereoselectivity to catalytic reactions and to achieve high turnover numbers and high yields. A challenge is the control of prochiral centers with similar electronic properties in a similar steric environment within the same molecule. Over the last 10 years, a range of novel rigid C-stereogenic chiral phosphine ligands has been developed and successfully applied in various types of asymmetric transformations. Many of these ligands are of a di-, tri-, or multidentate nature. The purpose of this Perspective is to highlight recent synthetic achievements (since 2010) with spiro-phosphines and other rigid phosphines and discuss some mechanistic aspects of the catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Phosphine-oxazoline (PHOX) ligands are a very important class of privileged ligands in asymmetric catalysis. A series of highly rigid oxa-spiro phosphine-oxazoline (O-SIPHOX) ligands based on O-SPINOL was synthesized efficiently, and their iridium complexes were synthesized by coordination of the O-SIPHOX ligands to [Ir(cod)Cl]2 in the presence of sodium tetrakis-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylborate (NaBArF). The cationic iridium complexes showed high reactivity and excellent enantioselectivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of 1-methylene-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepin-2-ones (up to 99% yield and up to 99% ee). A key intermediate of the anti-obesity drug lorcaserin could be efficiently synthesized using this protocol.
