The mixture contains about 60% of the desired product (R)-12 and is used directly in the next step. 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 ): δ = 7.35 (s, 1H ), 7.02 (s, 1H ), 3.01 (dd, J = 13.5, 6.0 Hz, 1H), (m, 1H), 2.61 (dd, J = 13.5, 6.0 Hz, 1H), 2.26 (s, 6H), 1.21 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 3H). HRMS: m/z calcd for C 12 H 14 BrO 2 [M-H] - : ; found: A mixture of the above product (1.35 g) in a solution of SOCl 2 (3.5 ml), DMF (2 drops) and CH 2 Cl 2 (50 ml) was heated at reflux for 1h. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the remaining yellow oil was dissolved in dichloroethane (100 ml) at 0 C. Then AlCl 3 (1.4 g, 10.5 mmol) was added, and the solution was stirred for 20 min. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO 3 (200 ml), extracted with CH 2 Cl 2 (2 100 ml), and dried with Na 2 SO 4. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum.

After cooling down to room temperature, anhydrous pyridine (0.48 ml, 6 mmol) was added. The solution was stirred for 5 min, and then compound (R)-13 (3.0 g, 12.0 mmol) was added. The mixture was again heated at reflux under N 2 for 12h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was directly charged onto a silica gel column using DCM as eluant to remove the metal salts. The product was further purified by chromatography on silica gel using pentane/dcm (3/1) as eluant. The product was obtained as a mixture of the trans/cis isomers in a 1:1 ratio (0.43 g, 15%).

The chemical shifts were identical with that of the authentic racemic sample (S1). Chiral HPLC analysis (Fig S5) indicates that no racemization happened under the above conditions for the McMurry coupling. Fig. S5. HPLC chromatograms of the racemic compounds trans-5 (A) obtained following a literature procedure (S1) and the product (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-5 (B) obtained following the procedure shown in Fig S3. Note: the retention times of compounds (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-5, (2S,2 S)-(M,M)-trans-5, and (2R,2 R)- (P,P)-cis-5 are quite close to each other. But a closer examination (see dashed line) of the HPLC data indicates the absence of a significant amount of the coupling product with (S)-configuration. HPLC conditions: AD-H column [n-heptane]; flow rate 0.25 ml/min; λ = 322 nm; 40 C; t R (major) = min, (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-5. Note S3 The other intermediate compounds for the asymmetric synthesis of (2R,2 R)-trans-1 were obtained by following the procedure shown in Fig S1. 1 H NMR analysis (data not shown) confirmed the identity of these compounds. Some key UV-vis, CD, and HPLC data are shown below. These data confirm the absolute configuration of the stereogenic centres (methyl groups) on the motor scaffold. 6

The UV-vis, and CD spectra were measured for the compounds with (R)-absolute configuration, which were obtained from the asymmetric synthesis (Fig S3, S1). HPLC chromatograms of the racemic compounds (obtained following the procedure shown in Fig S1), are shown in Fig Ad, Bd. All UV-vis/CD spectra were recorded in THF at 20 C. HPLC conditions: AD-H column [n-heptane-isopropanol, 70/30]; flow rate 0.5 ml/min; 40 C. Unidirectional rotation: The 4-step unidirectional isomerization of compound 1 could be followed by the chiral HPLC analysis. Chiralpak AD-H column ( mm); eluant 65:35 n-heptane/2-propanol; 20 C; flow rate 0.5 ml/min; λ detection was set at the isosbestic point of each step, respectively. 7

(a) (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-1, t R = min; (b) (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-cis-1, t R = 7.83 min, yield >99%; (c) (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-cis-1, t R = 7.49 min, yield 76%, the minor band (t R = min) resulted from some decomposition of thiourea. Dotted line: Purified (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-cis-1 by using preparative HPLC, which was used for step-3, and -4; (d) (2R,2 R)-(P,P)- trans-1, t R = min. Note: the unidirectional isomerizing behaviour was marked with the arrow (gray, solid). Compound (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-1 returns to its initial state after a 4-step isomerizing process, which is indicated by the double arrow between Fig S7-a,d. HPLC chromatogram of compound (2R,2 R)-(M,M)- trans-1 could not be recorded because of its short half life at rt (< 10 min). Conditions for each isomerizing step: step-1, UV irradiation at 312 nm for 1 min in THF at 20 C; step-2, heating in THF/isopropanal (2/1) at 70 C in a sealed vial for 40 min; step-3, UV irradiation at 312 nm for 5 min in THF at -60 o C; step-4, warming up the solution of step-3 to 20 C for 10 min. Fig. S8. Kinetic study for the thermal isomerizing step-2. The isomerization from (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-cis-1 to (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-cis-1 was followed by absorption changes at 350 nm at four different temperatures (50, 55, 60 and 65 C, A). The rate constants k of the first-order decay at different temperatures were obtained using the equation A = A 0 e -κt (A and A 0 are the absorbance at different time t). Analysis of these data using the conventional form of the absolute rate equation (Δ G = RT [ln (k B /h) - ln (k/t)], where k B is the Boltzmann constant and h the Planck constant (k B /h = K 1 s 1 )) provides the standard Gibbs energy of activation (Δ G = kj/mol). The long half life (120 days at 0 C, obtained by linear fit of lnk/t and 1/T, B) of compound (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-cis-1 is favorable for the study of its catalytic behavior. 8

10 Catalytic behavior: Fig. S9. Reaction kinetics from 0 to 15 h followed by 1 H-NMR (CD 2 Cl 2, -15 C) spectroscopy. The reaction was very slow when the trans-isomer (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-1 was employed (A). The cis-isomers (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-cis-1 (B) and (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-cis-1 (C) displayed significant catalytic activity. The product formation could be followed by the increased resonance signal for proton H b at 2.63 ppm. Note S4 Reactions were carried out on a 0.1 mmol scale of enone and thiol, respectively. The enone (0.1 mmol, 100 μl 1.0 M stock solution in CD 2 Cl 2 ) was added to a mixture of thiol (0.1 mmol, 100 μl 1.0 M stock solution in CD 2 Cl 2 ) and catalyst ( mmol, 300 μl 1.0 mm stock solution in CD 2 Cl 2 ) at -15 C. The product formation was followed by in-situ 1 H-NMR spectroscopy (Fig S9). After 15 h, the reaction mixture was directly charged onto a silica gel column using CHCl 3 /heptane (1/1) as eluant to provide the product as a colorless oil. 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 ): δ = 7.39 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (t, J = 8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.91 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H), 6.89 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H), 3.89 (s, 3H), (m, 1H ), 2.65 (dd, J = 14.4, 4.4 Hz, 1H), (m, 3H), (m, 2H), (m, 2H). The chemical shifts were identical with that reported in literature (S4). Catalyst (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-cis-1 was obtained by irradiating (λ irr = 312 nm, 3 min) the stock solution of (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-1 in CD 2 Cl 2 without further purification due to high photoequilibrium (> 99%). Catalyst (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-cis-1 was obtained by preparative HPLC after the thermal isomerization step-2, see Fig S7, (c). Note: For preparative HPLC, an analytical AD-H column (chiralpak AD-H ( mm) was used; eluant 70:30 heptane-isopropanol; flow rate 0.5 ml/min; temperature 20 C). With this method, 1.5 mg of (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-cis-1 was obtained in 24 h. 9

11 A B 16 h 12 h 8 h 4 h 0.2 h C D (S) (R) Fig. S10. Switching-on the catalyst s enantioselectivity in situ with light. The non-enantioselective catalyst (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-1 is switched to the enantioselective catalyst (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-cis-1 by irradiation at 312 nm for 2 min (under an argon atmosphere) in the presence of methoxy thiophenol (0.2 M) and cyclohexenone (0.2 M). (A) The switching was monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy (spectra after 0 (black), 0.5 (blue), 1.0 (red), and 2.0 (green) min irradiation). The inset shows an expansion of the 1 H NMR spectrum showing that a mixture of (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-1 (3.06 ppm) and (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-cis-1 (3.01 and 1.51 and 1.39 ppm) is formed. (B) 1 H-NMR (CD 2 Cl 2, -15 C) spectroscopy is used to follow the asymmetric Michael addition with the mixture of catalysts (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-1 and (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-cis- 1 (the total catalyst loading is 0.3 mol%) formed by in situ irradiation. For labeling H a /H b see figure S9. (C) A significant rate enhancement compared with the non-irradiated reaction mixture (see Figure 3 for comparison) was observed with a 40 % conversion after 15 h. (D) The reaction was stopped after 18 h. Chiral HPLC analysis (Chiralpak AD-H column ( mm); eluant 98:2 heptane-isopropanol; flow rate 0.5 ml/min; detection at 254 nm, temperature 40 C) shows that the reaction is stereoselective with an e.r. of 74/26 (S/R). 10

12 Fig. S11. Molecular modeling of compound 1 in each isomerizing state, (A) (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-trans-1, (B) (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-cis-1, (C) (2R,2 R)-(P,P)-cis-1, (D) (2R,2 R)-(M,M)-trans-1. The closer distance between the thiourea and DMAP functional groups in the cis isomer (about 10 Å, distance defined between nitrogen of the DMAP unit and carbon of thiourea unit), distinct from that of the trans isomer (about 20 Å), supports the experimental observation that the cis isomer shows higher catalytic activity. Note S5 The calculations were performed with the HyperChem 8.0 (HyperChem(TM), Hypercube, Inc., 1115 NW 4th Street, Gainesville, FL 32601, USA) software package at the RM1 level of theory. Default convergence and integration settings were used. The motor units of the four isomers were built from the crystal structures of the first generation motors (S2, S5,S6). 11

13 Fig. S12. Chiral HPLC chromatograms of the product using the (S)-catalysts. Isomer (2S,2 S)-(P,P)-cis-1 preferentially gives the (R)-product (Fig. A, e.r., S/R, 25/75), while isomer (2S,2 S)-(M,M)-cis-1 displays an opposite stereoselectivity (Fig. B, e.r., S/R, 76/24). Conditions for HPLC: chiralpak AD-H column ( mm); eluant 98:2 heptane-isopropanol; flow rate 0.5 ml/min; detection at 254 nm, temperature 40 C. The absolute configuration of the adduct product in the catalytic reaction was confirmed by chiral HPLC analysis using OB-H (chiralpak OB-H, mm) column following a literature procedure (S4).
