A series of dendritic substituted alkaloids, deriving from quinine or atropine and Frechet-type dendrons up to generation three, have been prepared. Enantioseparation of the dendronized atropine ammonium salts was achieved by HPLC on chiral stationary phases. Investigation of the chiroptical properties of the series of dendrimers by circulardichroism spectroscopy revealed an influence of the chiral

A palladium/Cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed α-arylation between cyclicketones and aryl halides under phosphine-free conditions is presented. The use of a simple, unmodifiedCinchonaalkaloid results in high levels of activity and selectivity with up to 93% ee. These enantioinduction levels are comparable or even higher than the ones reported using palladium/BINAP complexes. To the best of our knowledge
A fluorescent probe (QA) based on quinine bearing two quaternary ammonium groups and a long hydrophobic chain was synthesized, and it showed highly selective recognition of carbenicillin (a typical beta-lactam antibiotic) in 100% aqueous solution via concerted interactions.
The cinchona alkaloids 1a-d react selectively at the quinuclidine ring with benzyl bromide it and at the quinoline ring with benzhydrylium ions (diarylcarbenium ions). The kinetics of these reactions have been determined photometrically or conductimetrically and are compared with analogous reactions of quinuclidine and quinoline derivatives. Quantum chemical calculations [MP2/6-31 + G(2d p)// B3LYP/6-31G(d)] show that the products obtained by attack at the quinuclidine ring (N-sp3) of quinine are thermodynamically more stable when small alkylating agents (primary alkyl) are used, while the products arising from attack at the quinoline ring (N-sp2) are more stable for bulkier electrophiles (Ar2CH). In some cases, rate and equilibrium constants for their reactions with berizhydrylium ions could be determined. These data gave access to the Marcus intrinsic barriers, which are approximately 20 U mol(-1) lower for attack at the N-sp3-center than at the N-sp2-center.

A modified phase-transfer catalysed enantioselective epoxidation of estra-Delta(5(10),9(11))-diene, an important intermediate of anti-early pregnancy drug mifepristone 1, have been determined and investigated. Eight chiral ammonium salts (PTC A-H), used as phase-transfer catalysts, have been synthesized from cinchona alkaloids. Among them, PTC G and PTC H have exhibited satisfying catalytic activity to improve the ratio of alpha/beta epoxide up to 7:1.
