Abstract:
Asymmetric metal/organo relay catalysis, utilizing a metal complex and a chiral organocatalyst in a one-pot cascade reaction, is aimed to sequentially impart activation on multiple steps by distinct catalysts. Such a catalysis merges the advantages of both metal catalysis and organocatalysis, providing step-economy, and, more importantly, the potential to achieve inaccessible reactivity by a single catalyst. Chiral phosphoric acids are among the most robust organocatalysts, rendering a broad range of enantioselective bond-forming reactions. The combination of metal complexes and chiral phosphoric acids in a single vessel has been well documented. In particular, the asymmetric relay catalysis of metal complex with chiral phosphoric acid has grown rapidly since 2008. Several excellent reviews have been published to cover almost all examples in this area from 2008 to early 2014; therefore, in this chapter, we will mainly highlight progress from 2014 to mid-2019.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

The carboxylate ion acts as a nucleophile that attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, the re-formation of the carbonyl group with the loss of the chloride ion as a leaving group leads to the formation of an acid...

As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic...
