A general and practical Cu(I)-Fesulphos-catalyzed Mannich reaction of glycinate Schiff bases with aliphatic imines generated in situ from alpha-amido sulfones is described. Imines with linear and branched alkyl chains, including substrates bearing functional groups, can be efficiently applied. The resulting syn-configured orthogonally protected beta-alkyl-alpha,beta-diamino acid derivatives are produced

Indole-substituted N-propargylamides undergo a gold(III)-catalyzed cyclization to give oxazoles or beta-carbolinones, depending on the Substitution pattern at the amide nitrogen. Secondary amides furnished oxazoles via a 5-exo-dig cyclization, while tertiary indole-2-carboxamides cycloisomerized to give 2,9-dihydro-beta-carbolin-1-ones upon treatment with catalytic amounts of gold(III) chloride. An optimized procedure was developed to prepare several new N-benzyl-beta-carbolinones as well as the corresponding beta-carbolines, which are of interest as core structures found in various natural products such as the harman, ervolanine, and lavendamycin class of alkaloids.
