dinuclear zinc–ProPhenol catalyst enables highly enantioselective nitro‐Michael reactions with oxazol‐4(5H)‐ones as nucleophilic substrates (see scheme, Nap=2‐naphthyl). This work highlights the utility of the ProPhenol family of ligands. The modular nature of these ligands proved crucial in the optimization of reaction conditions to achieve excellent stereoselectivities.

An organocatalytic enantioselectiveallylicalkylation of 5H-oxazol-4-ones with Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates has been developed. With 10 mol% of commercially available cinchonidine, a wide range of substituted 5H-oxazol-4-one derivatives were constructed in good-to-excellent yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The allylicalkylation adducts obtained are valuable precursors for

An organocatalytic asymmetric reaction between 5H-oxazol-4-ones and N-substituted maleimides is disclosed. Employing Takemoto's chiral tertiary amine-thiourea as the catalyst, [4 + 2] annulation reactions were performed with high chemoselectivity, leading to a series of biologically important chiral oxo-bridged piperidone-fused succinimides in good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) and >19:1 dr.
Organocatalytic Asymmetric Michael Addition of 5<i>H</i>-Oxazol-4-ones to Nitroolefins
The first organocatalytic asymmetric Michael addition of 5H-oxazol-4-ones to nitroolefins has been developed. In the presence of easily prepared L-tert-leucine-derived tertiary amine/thiourea catalyst, the Michael addition of 5H-oxazol-4-ones to nitroolefins proceeded in an excellent diastereo- and enantioselective manner (up to 99% ee and >19:1 dr). The Michael adducts obtained are valuable precursors for the synthesis of chiral alpha-alkyl-alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acid derivatives, which represent a series of versatile building blocks in many biologically active compounds.
Highly enantioselective α-sulfenylation of 5H-oxazol-4-ones to N-(sulfanyl)succinimides
An unprecedented asymmetric alpha-sulfenylation of 5H-oxazol-4-ones to N-(sulfanyl)succinimides has been established, to access various alpha-sulfenylated adducts with good to excellent enantioselectivities (86-95% ee) by utilizing a cinchona alkaloid-derived squaramide as catalyst. The conditions of this alpha-sulfenylation protocol simultaneously satisfy N-(arylthio)succinimides, N-(benzylthio)succinimides, and N-(alkylthio)succinimides by tuning the substituted groups of 5H-oxazol-4-ones on the 2-position as well as additives.
