constitutes a significant challenge in the area of asymmetric catalysis, particularly where the configurational integrity of the products is problematic. Through the unprecedented merger of two independent, yet complementary, catalysis events it has been possible to facilitate the direct asymmetric α-allylation of readily available aryl aceticacid esters. Since enantioselection is determined by the nucleophile

Several γ-hydroxy-α-amino acid systems were prepared stereoselectively from 2-amino-4-pentenoic acid derivatives using electrophilic lactonization. This strategy was applied to the synthesis of a highly functionalized proline analogue, (−)-bulgecinine (4).

A direct, highly enantioselective alkylation of arylacetic acids via enediolates using a readily available chiral lithium amide as a stereodirecting reagent has been developed. This approach circumvents the traditional attachment and removal of chiralauxiliaries used currently for this type of transformation. The protocol is operationally simple, and the chiral reagent is readily recoverable.

various functionalized racemic nitriles catalyzed by Rhodococcus erythropolis AJ270, a nitrile hydratase/amidase-containing microbial whole-cell catalyst, were studied. While the nitrile hydratase exhibits high catalytic efficiency but very low enantioselectivity against almost all nitrile substrates examined, the amidase is very sensitive toward the structure of the amides. The release of the steric crowdedness
A novel approach for the asymmetric synthesis of the active (1S,2R)-enantiomer of the antidepressant milnacipran is reported. The two stereogenic centers borne by the cyclopropane ring were sequentially installed starting from phenylacetic acid.
