catalytic enantioselective Michaelreaction has been developed using chiral palladium complexes. Various substrates including β-keto esters and 1,3-diketones reacted with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give the corresponding Michael adducts in good yield with up to 99% ee, thereby affording chiral quaternary carbon centers. In these reactions, chiral palladium enolates were generated as key intermediates

We have established a new route to provide 2-substituted 1,3-cycloheptanediones via a Lewis acid mediated ring expansion reaction of cyclobutanones as the key step. The ring expansion reactions were mediated by a series of Lewis acids. Among the used Lewis acids, ZnI2 was the most practical mediator. This route has succeeded in providing the title compounds even on a multi-gram scale. During the research, the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the cyclobutanones to obtain the new bicyclic lactones was also examined. The regioselective oxidation was observed in the case of chlorinated cyclobutanones.

The efficient desymmetrization of N-(2-tert-butylphenyl)maleimides was realized by means of a Michael addition reaction of a series of carbon nucleophiles generating the corresponding axially chiral succinimides in high yields. The use of (DHQD)(2)Pyr as catalyst was fundamental to achieve the remote control of the stereogenic chiral axis with the concurrent construction of adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereocenters.
