Axially chiral compounds play a pivotal role in organic synthesis, materials science, and pharmaceutical development. Among the various strategies for their construction, enantioselective iodination and bromination have emerged as powerful and versatile approaches, enabling the introduction of halogen functionalities that serve as valuable synthetic handles for further transformations. This review highlights recent advances in atroposelective iodination and bromination, with a particular focus on the synthesis of axially chiral biaryl and heterobiaryl frameworks. Key catalytic systems are discussed, including transition metal complexes, small-molecule organocatalysts, and high-valent metal catalysts in combination with chiral ligands or transient directing groups. Representative case studies are presented to elucidate mechanistic pathways, stereochemical induction models, and synthetic applications. Despite notable progress, challenges remain, such as expanding substrate scope, improving atom economy, and achieving high levels of regio- and stereocontrol in complex molecular settings. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of these halogenation strategies and offers insights to guide future research in the atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral molecules.

Atropisomeric molecules are present in many natural products, biologically active compounds, chiral ligands and catalysts. Many elegant methodologies have been developed to access axially chiral molecules. Among them, organocatalytic cycloaddition and cyclization have attracted much attention because they have been widely used in the asymmetric synthesis of biaryl/heterobiaryls atropisomers via construction of carbo- and hetero-cycles. This strategy has undoubtedly become and will continue to be a hot topic in the field of asymmetric synthesis and catalysis. This review aims to highlight the recent advancements in this field of atropisomer synthesis by using different organocatalysts in cycloaddition and cyclization strategies. The construction of each atropisomer, its possible mechanism, the role of catalysts, and its potential applications are illustrated. Full article

A series of novel benzofuran derivatives containing biaryl moiety were designed and synthesized by the Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. The reactions, performed in the presence of K2CO3, EtOH/H2O and Pd(II) complex as catalyst, gave the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. The methodology allows the facile production of heterobiaryl compounds, a unique architectural motif that is ubiquitous in medicinal chemistry. Full article

A series of piperazin-1-yl substituted unfused heterobiaryls was synthesized as ligands of the 5-HT7 receptors. The goal of this project was to elucidate the structural features that affect the 5-HT7 binding affinity of this class of compounds represented by the model ligand 4-(3-furyl)-2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyrimidine (2). The SAR studies included systematical structural changes of the pyrimidine core moiety in 2 to quinazoline, pyridine and benzene, changes of the 3-furyl group to other heteroaryl substituents, the presence of various analogs of the 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl group, as well as additional substitutions at positions 5 and 6 of the pyrimidine. Substitution of position 6 of the pyrimidine in the model ligand with an alkyl group results in a substantial increase of the binding affinity (note a change in position numbers due to the nomenclature rules). It was also demonstrated that 4-(3-furyl) moiety is crucial for the 5-HT7 binding affinity of the substituted pyrimidines, although, the pyrimidine core can be replaced with a pyridine ring without a dramatic loss of the binding affinity. The selected ethylpyrimidine (12) and butylpyrimidine (13) analogs of high 5-HT7 binding affinity showed antagonistic properties in cAMP functional test and varied selectivity profile—compound 12 can be regarded as a dual 5-HT7/5-HT2AR ligand, and 13 as a multi-receptor (5-HT7, 5-HT2A, 5-HT6 and D2) agent.
