In recent years, the synthesis of axially chiral compounds has received considerable attention due to their extensive application as biologically active compounds in medicinal chemistry and as chiral ligands in asymmetric catalysis. Chiral phosphoric acids are recognized as efficient organocatalysts for a variety of enantioselective transformations. In this review, we summarize the recent development of chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed synthesis of a wide range of axially chiral biaryls, heterobiaryls, vinylarenes, N-arylamines, spiranes, and allenes with high efficiency and excellent stereoselectivity.

Starting from the functionalized Josiphos derivatives (R)-1-[(S)-2-(diphenylphosphino)-1'-(dimethyl-3''-aminopropylsilyl)-ferrocenyl]ethyldicyclohexylphosphine ((R)-(S)-3), (R)-1-[(S)-2-(diphenylphosphino)-1'-(hydroxy methyl) ferrocenyl]ethyldicyclohexylphosphine ((R)-(S)-4), and (R)-1-[(S)-2-(diphenylphosphino)-1'-(3''-hydroxy propyl)ferrocenyl]ethyldicyclohexylphosphine ((R)-(S)-5), a series of dendrimers containing up to sixteen ferrocenyl diphosphine units were prepared. Dendrimer cores are based on benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid and 1,3,5,7-adaman tanetetracarboxylic acid, with 5-substituted isophthalic acid derivatives constituting the branching units. The dendrimers have been used in three different asymmetric catalytic reactions: Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate, Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution, and Rh-catalyzed hydroboration of styrene with catecholborane. In all three reactions the selectivity obtained with the dendrimers was very similar to the one obtained with the parent ligand Josiphos.Key words: dendrimer, asymmetric catalysis, ferrocenyl ligands, hydrogenation.

Advances in asymmetric catalysis have led to enormous progress in the atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral biaryls. Because of the biological importance of indoles, stereogenic axes in aryl-substituted indoles have attracted considerable research attention in recent years. Here we present a summary of recent advances in the atroposelective synthesis of aryl-substituted indoles by dynamic kinetic resolution. While several researchers have developed enantioselective syntheses of 3-arylindoles, N-arylindoles have been much less studied. Accordingly, we have reported a Pictet–Spengler reaction with catalytic and enantioselective control of the axial chirality around the C−N bond of the product. A chiral phosphoric acid induces the cyclization smoothly and with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. To achieve this high selectivity, an NH group at the ortho position of the N-substituted aromatic ring that interacts favorably with the catalyst is required. Furthermore, when substituted aldehydes are used instead of paraformaldehyde, both the point and axial chiralities can be controlled during the cyclization.
