The transition-metal-catalyzed C?N cross-coupling has revolutionized the construction of amines. Despite the innovations of multiple generations of ligands to modulate the reactivity of the metal center, ligands for the low-temperature enantioselective amination of aryl halides remain a coveted target of catalyst engineering. Designs that promote one elementary reaction often create bottlenecks at other steps. We here report an unprecedented low-temperature (as low as ?50 °C), enantioselective Ni-catalyzed C?N cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with sterically hindered secondary amines via a kinetic resolution process (s factor up to >300). A bulky yet flexible chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand is leveraged to drive both oxidative addition and reductive elimination with low barriers and control the enantioselectivity. Computational studies indicate that the rotations of multiple σ-bonds on the C2-symmetric chiral ligand adapt to the changing needs of catalytic processes. We expect this design would be widely applicable to diverse transition states to achieve other challenging metal-catalyzed asymmetric cross-coupling reactions.

Given the widespread importance of piperazines as building blocks for the production of pharmaceuticals, an efficient and selective synthesis is highly desirable. Here we show the direct synthesis of piperazines from 1,2-dicarbonyl and 1,2-diamine substrates using the R-selective imine reductase from Myxococcus stipitatus as biocatalyst. Various N- and C-substituted piperazines with high activity and excellent enantioselectivity were obtained under mild reaction conditions reaching up to 8.1 g per liter.

A facile method has been developed for the synthesis of chiral piperazines through Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of pyrazines activated by alkyl halides, giving a wide range of chiral piperazines including 3-substituted as well as 2,3- and 3,5-disubstituted
