cyclic imines promoted by a chiral zinc complex is reported. In situ generated zinc‐ProPhenol complex with silane afforded pharmaceutically relevant enantioenriched 2‐aryl‐substituted pyrrolidines in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). The synthetic utility of presented methodology is demonstrated in an efficient synthesis of the corresponding chiral cyclic amines, being pharmaceutical

Air-stable secondaryphosphineoxides (SPOs) are readily formed from diazaphospholene bromides. In the presence of pinacolborane, these SPOs are transformed into catalytically active diazaphospholene hydrides. A silyl triflate transforms the SPOs into phosphenium triflates. The use of diazaphospholene SPOs as reduction reaction precatalysts was validated by imine reduction, conjugate reduction, pyridine

The present disclosure discusses (i) a compound having a chemical formula according to Formula (I), or its enantiomer; and (ii) a compound that is reactive with a hydride to produce a compound having a chemical formula according to Formula (I), or its enantiomer. Formula (I) is: Formula (I) where R1 and R2 are H, optionally substituted C1-C3 alkyl, or linked together to form an optionally substituted C3 or C4 alkyl group; R3 and R3′ are H; R4 and R4′ are the same, and are optionally substituted C1-C6 alkyl; and R5 and R5′ are the same, and are optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl. In some examples, R4 and R5 are linked, and R4′ and R5′ are linked, where both linking groups are the same. The present disclosure also discusses methods of asymmetric reduction of an imine, and methods of forming the catalysts and pre-catalysts.
A new thiourea catalyst is reported for the enantioselective cationic polycyclization of hydroxylactams. Both the yield and enantioselectivity of this transformation were found to vary strongly with the identity of a single aromatic residue on a common catalyst framework, with more expansive and polarizable arenes proving optimal. Evidence is presented for a mechanism in which stabilizing cation-Pi interactions are a principal determinant of enantioselectivity.
