Efficient N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed O- to C-Acyl Transfer
摘要:
An N-heterocyclic carbene promotes the rearrangement of alpha-amino acid derived O-acyl carbonates to their corresponding C-acylated isomers, generating a C-C bond and a quaternary stereocenter with high efficiency, under mild reaction conditions and with low catalyst loadings.
Regiodivergent Enantioselective γ-Additions of Oxazolones to 2,3-Butadienoates Catalyzed by Phosphines: Synthesis of α,α-Disubstituted α-Amino Acids and N,O-Acetal Derivatives
摘要:
Phosphine-catalyzed regiodivergent enantioselective C-2- and C-4-selective gamma-additions of oxazolones to 2,3-butadienoates have been developed. The C-4-selective gamma-addition of oxazolones occurred in a highly enantioselective manner when 2-aryl-4-alkyloxazol-5-(4H)-ones were employed as pronudeophiles. With the employment of 2-alkyl-4-aryloxazol-5-(4H)-ones as the donor, C-2-selective gamma-addition of oxazolones took place in a highly enantioselective manner. The C-4-selective adducts provided rapid access to optically enriched alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino acid derivatives, and the C-2-selective products led to facile synthesis of chiral N,O-acetals and gamma-lactols. Theoretical studies via DFT calculations suggested that the origin of the observed regioselectivity was due to the distortion energy that resulted from the interaction between the nudeophilic oxazolide and the electrophilic phosphonium intermediate.
A new strategy, a transient homocoupling dimer strategy, for direct catalytic oxidative cross-enolate coupling reactions is developed. Cross-enolate coupling products bearing a (contiguous) tetrasubstituted carbon center were obtained chemoselectively without the need for stoichiometric amounts of strong bases/metal oxidants, and thus, the present catalysis provides a general method for the synthesis

remodeling by utilizing CO2 moiety as tracelessactivating and directinggroups in both reaction partners. The synthetic value is evidenced by the rapid preparation of a broad spectrum of highly functionalized 3-carbamoyl-4-aryl pyrroles in good to excellent yields with exclusive regio-control, including the important Atorvastatin core.

This work describes the first enantioselective 1,6-additions of azlactones to para-quinone methides. In the presence of a chiral phosphoric acid, 1,6-adducts were obtained in high yields (up to 96%) with excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities (all >20:1 diastereoselectivity ratio (dr), up to 99% enantiomeric excess (ee)). Importantly, the method offers a facile synthetic approach

The first enantioselective method for the installation of the SCF3 group at the C-4 position of azlactones is described in the present communication under quinidinium phasetransfercatalysis. The higher performance of substrates containing electron-rich 2-aryl groups at the azlactone was rationalized using DFT calculations.
