AbstractA highly effective aldol cyclization of α‐isothiocyanato imide to both β,γ‐unsaturated α‐keto esters and aryl‐substituted α‐keto esters has been developed. A chiral N,N′‐dioxide–yttrium triflate complex was used as the catalyst. A series of cyclic thiocarbamates bearing chiral quaternary stereocenters was synthesized in good to high yields, excellent diastereo‐ (up to 25:1 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee). In addition, the reaction could be carried out on a gram‐scale, and other functionalized derivatives are also conveniently transformed. Interestingly, a discrepancy of diastereoselection was observed between the reactions of β,γ‐unsaturated α‐keto esters and aryl‐substituted α‐keto esters. Moreover, a substrate dependency of non‐linear effects was observed in this reaction. On the basis of the experimental results and the absolute configuration of the products, possible catalytic models have been proposed to explain the origin of the asymmetric process.magnified image
Efficient Enantioselective Synthesis of Dihydropyrans Using a Chiral N,N′-Dioxide as Organocatalyst
摘要:
The bifunctional organocatalyst C3 N,N'-dioxide has been successfully applied to the asymmetric cascade Michael/hemiacetalization reaction of alpha-substituted cyano ketones and beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-ketoesters for the synthesis of multifunctionalized chiral dihydropyrans. The corresponding products were obtained in excellent yields (up to 99%) with high to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee).
Here we report an efficient asymmetric [4+2] cycloaddition of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters with cyclobutenones. The corresponding products were obtained in good yields (up to 92%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to >19/1 dr). Moreover, based on the control experiments and previous reports, a possible catalytic cycle was proposed.

An efficient asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction of 2-vinylindoles with β,γ-unsaturatedα-ketoesters has been developed for the construction of functionalized tetrahydrocarbazoles. The products were obtained in high yields (up to 96%) with good stereoselectivities (ee up to 95%, dr up to >99 : 1).

A Pd-catalyzed asymmetricallylic amination of 4-substituted 2-acetoxybut-3-enoates with amines has been developed for the regiospecific synthesis of chiral α,β-unsaturated γ-amino esters. The desired chiral aminated products can be obtained in up to 98% yield, and 99% ee and can be conveniently transformed to chiral γ-amino acid/alcohol derivatives and chiral γ-lactams, which can then be subjected
A change in tune: A novel [4+1] annulation between atropisomeric sulfur ylides 1 and unsaturated imines 2 was developed. The method allows the synthesis of enantioenriched pyrroline products 3 in high yield and with excellent stereocontrol. The origin of stereoinduction was primarily rationalized by a conformational analysis of the ylides.

An organocatalyticthree-component reductive coupling reaction between dimethyl phosphite, benzylidene pyruvates, and aldehydes is reported. A chiral triaryliminophosphorane catalyst promotes Pudovik addition, which is followed by phospha-Brook rearrangement to transiently generate enolates that are trapped stereoselectively by aldehydes. This reductive coupling provides vicinal polyfunctionalized
