Stereoselective Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Nitrocyclopropanes through the Organocatalyic Michael‐Addition‐Initiated Cyclization of Bromonitromethane and β,γ‐Unsaturated α‐Ketoesters
A highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective cyclopropanation of β,γ‐unsaturated α‐ketoesters with bromonitromethane has been successfully developed through a domino Michael‐addition/intramolecular‐alkylation strategy. Acceptable yields (up to 89 %) and enantioselectivities (up to 96 % ee) have been obtained.

4a,8a‐tetrahydro‐2H,5H‐pyrano[2,3‐b]pyran‐7‐carboxylates have been obtained in high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities from the same starting materials using a tandem inverse‐electron‐demand hetero‐Diels–Alder/oxa‐Michael reaction catalyzed by modularly designed organocatalysts (MDOs). Diastereodivergence was achieved in these reactions through the direct control of the stereochemistry
A catalytic asymmetric carbonyl-ene reaction of [small beta],[gamma]-unsaturated [small alpha]-ketoesters with 5-methyleneoxazolines was accomplished. The process was based on the utilization of a chiral N,N'-dioxide/MgII catalyst, providing the desired products with excellent...
The asymmetricepoxidation of electron‐deficient olefins has been achieved using inexpensive and readily available prolinols as catalysts with good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The utility of the resulting chiral epoxides was illustrated by elaboration to several synthetically useful compounds featuring a concise synthesis of (−)‐(5R,6S)‐balasubramide.
A novel carbon electrophile induced intermolecular oxa-Diels–Alder/semipinacolrearrangement/aldol cascade reaction of allylic silyl ether with β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoester has been developed under the promotion of SnCl4. This highly efficient transformation enables the quick construction of polycyclic architectures with up to five contiguous stereogenic centers in a single operation with moderate to
