Conjugate additions of organometallic reagents to α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acidderivatives give access to numerous β-substituted chiral building blocks. Chiral oxazolidinones serve as useful surrogates of carboxylic function in the asymmetric conjugate addition of Grignardreagents. N-Enoyl oxazolidinones undergo this 1,4-addition with a catalytic amount of copper salt and using either chiral or
The [2 + 2] photodimerization of cinnamic acid derivatives to afford enantiopure cyclobutanes has been investigated. The use of a chiral auxiliary represents a convenient and straightforward method to exert enantiocontrol on the reaction. By exploiting Evans oxazolidinones, the stereoselective light-driven cyclisation affords a functionalised cyclobutane ring with up to 99% enantiocontrol after removing

A method for the asymmetric synthesis of phthalides containing a stereogenic γ-carbon has been described. The protocol, based on the arylogous Michael addition to chiral alkenoyl oxazolidinones catalyzed by a crown ether under phase-transfer conditions does not require anhydrous conditions and uses commercially available materials. A complete syn-stereocontrol is achieved and facial diastereoselectivities

The effects of including metal salts for three. component reactions involving alpha-alkyl-alpha-diazo esters, aromatic aldehydes, and 3-(2-alkenoyl)-2-oxazolidinones are described, in terms of yields and diastereoselectivities. Metal tetrafluorborates (10-30 mol %) such as Co(BF4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O, Ni(BF4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O, and AgBF4 were effective in delivering high yields and diastereoselectivities (93:7 to 99:1) of the corresponding tetrahydrofuran derivatives while suppressing the competitive formation of 1,3-dioxolane. Using (S)-3-(2-alkenoyl)-4-isopropyl-2-oxazolidinones as the dipolarophiles in the three-component reactions, in the presence of Ni(BF4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O or Co(ClO4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O (10-30 mol %), optically active tetrahydrofurans that possess four successive asymmetric centers were synthesized in high diastereoselectivities (99:1). On the basis of the configuration of the cycloadduct using the X-ray analysis, the high diastereoselectivity could be explained by the unusual Re-face approach to the dipolarophile in the presence of the Lewis acid, proceeding through the s-cis conformer of the 3-(2-alkenoyl)-2-oxazolidinone with the two carbonyls in opposing directions (dipole-dipole interaction).
Electroreductive 4-Pyridylation of Electron-deficient Alkenes with Assistance of Ni(acac)<sub>2</sub>
An electroreductive 4-pyridylation of activated alkenes was developed in an undivided cell with the assistance of Ni(acac)(2) (acac = acetylacetone). This novel protocol is compatible with a broad range of electron-poor alkenes, which are commonly regarded as challenging substrates in the previous conventional approaches. Moreover, a series of cyclic voltammetric experiments were conducted to reveal the unique role of Ni(acac)(2) differentiating reduction process of reaction partners.
