The first enantioselective Michael addition of alpha-cyanoketones to alpha,beta-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketones using a novel piperazine-thiourea catalyst was described. The resulting alpha-trifluoromethyldihydropyrans were obtained in high yields and with up to 95% ee within a short reaction time. A useful transformation of the chiral adduct was also illustrated.
chiral ligand based on an ethylenediamine backbone was developed to achieve Pd-catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3)-H arylation of cyclopropanecarboxylic and 2-aminoisobutyric acids without using exogenous directing groups. This new chiral catalyst affords new disconnection for preparing diverse chiral carboxylic acids from simple starting materials that are complementary to the various ring forming approaches

The preparation of solid-phase active esters from a new pyrazolone linker resin is described. N-Acylation using this resin provides various amide products with a high conversion rate and good purity under mild conditions. The polymer-bound pyrazolone linkers are stable in the reaction conditions and are resistant to hydrolysis. Moreover, this resin can also be reused repeatedly without a loss of reactivity.
