Atroposelective Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling to Form 2‐Amino‐2′‐Hydroxybiphenyls Enabled by sRuPhos
We report a new chiral phosphine ligand, sRuPhos, which permits the highly enantioselective Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of ortho‐aniline and ortho‐phenol building blocks. This results in 2‐amino‐2′‐hydroxybiphenyls with very high enantiomeric excesses, products that will have application in pharmaceutical synthesis and ligand design for catalysis ...

(Poly)Borylated Species as Modern Reactive Groups toward Unusual Synthetic Applications
In this review, we spotlight recent breakthroughs in α‐polyboron‐substituted carbon‐centered intermediates (carbanion, carbocation, radical, and carbene) and polyborylated alkenes. By bridging fundamental reactivity with the application potential of these extraordinary species, we hope this review will serve as a roadmap for harnessing these unique ...

Towards Chemoenzymatic Syntheses of Both Enantiomers of Phosphoemeriamine
An enzyme-promoted addition of nitromethane to the appropriate phosphorylated imine (aza-Henry reaction) intended to be used in the synthesis of the title phosphoemeriamine, a phospha-analog of emeriamine (aminocarnitine), failed due to the ...

Chiral Polymerization in Open Systems From Chiral-Selective Reaction Rates
We investigate the possibility that prebiotic homochirality can be achieved exclusively through chiral-selective reaction rate parameters without any other explicit mechanism for chiral bias.

Stereospecific Transition-Metal-Free Alkylation of Chiral Non-Racemic Secondary Tosylates with Cyanohydrins: Convenient Access to Enantiomerically Enriched α-Tertiary Ketones. [PDF]
A stereospecific, transition‐metal‐free SN2 alkylation of cyanohydrins with chiral non‐racemic secondary tosylates is reported, providing efficient access to enantioenriched α‐tertiary ketones. The method exhibits broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, and excellent stereospecificity, including stereoconvergent reactions of E/Z mixtures of ...

Dual Circularly Polarized Luminescence from Chiral Boron‐Embedded Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Boron‐embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons featuring an asymmetric boron center coordinated by a proximal P═O group were synthesized. Anthracene‐fused boracyclic derivatives show dual circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) arising from excited‐state P═O⋯B dissociation, which converts point chirality into C−B axial chirality.

Assignment-free chirality detection in unknown samples via microwave three-wave mixing
Identification of chiral molecules in multi-component mixtures of unknown compositions remains a challenge. Here, the authors show that microwave three-wave mixing that uses broad-spectrum fields can detect chiral molecules in enantiomeric excess without

Chiral polymerization: symmetry breaking and entropy production in closed systems
We solve numerically a kinetic model of chiral polymerization in systems closed to matter and energy flow, paying special emphasis to its ability to amplify the small initial enantiomeric excesses due to the internal and unavoidable statistical ...
