A method of synthesizing highly optically enriched &agr;-halo-esters comprises reacting acid halides with a cinchona alkaloid catalyst and a base to form intermediate ketenes. The ketenes are reacted with electrophilic halogenating reagents to produce &agr;-halo-esters with high enantiomeric excess. The base can be an inorganic salt. The thus-formed &agr;-halo-esters have utility in synthesizing other optically-pure materials.
discover biorational natural products-based insecticides, two series (27) of novel 9R/S-acyloxy derivatives of cinchonidine and cinchonine were prepared and assessed for their insecticidal activity against Mythimna separata in vivo by the leaf-dipping method at 1 mg/mL. Among all the compounds, especially derivatives 6l and 6o exhibited the best insecticidal activity with final mortality rates of 75

strong nucleophilicity and photochemical activity, can promote the coupling reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acid anhydrides or chlorides to give products under thermal or blue light photochemical conditions. Kinetic studies and density functional theory calculations suggest interesting mechanistic insights for reactions promoted by this acyl-transfer catalytic system.

Stereochemistry, products, and driving forces of the “first and second Cinchona rearrangement” have been investigated and a unified theory is presented. The first cage expansion affords [3.2.2]azabicyclic α-amino ether and is formulated via a configurationally stable bridgehead iminium ion and quasiequatorial nucleophilic attack. The second cage expansion affords β-functionalized [3.2.2]azabicycles
Ethyl pyruvate was hydrogenated as a gas-phase reactant over 2.5% Pt/SiO2 premodified with hydroquinidine 4-chlorobenzoate at two concentrations (0.85 and 8.5 mM g(cat)(-1)). The sense of enantioselectivity changed as a function of the modifier concentration. At low modifier concentrations, the (S)-lactate is the preferred product, and at higher concentrations, (R)-lactate is favoured. The lower concentration yielded an enantiomeric excess (ee) of 15% (S)-ethyl lactate in contrast to 17% (R)-lactate for the higher concentration. A range of hydroquinidine and hydroquinine derivatives were evaluated at these concentrations; the results suggest that the carbonyl group of the ester linkage at the C(9) position was required to promote the observed inversion of enantioselectivity. In a subsequent set of experiments, Bi3+ was adsorbed onto the Pt/SiO2 catalyst before the premodification step; these ions are considered to adsorb preferentially on high-energy surface sites (e.g., corner sites or step edges). Increasing Bi3+ concentration decreased the degree of inversion until the effect was lost. On the basis of high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) comparisons of these Pt/SiO2 and Bi-PtlSiO(2) catalysts, the inversion effect is discussed in terms of the interaction of the substrate and modifier with the catalyst surface.
