The free‐radical three‐component carbocyanation of electron‐rich olefins was investigated with p‐tosyl cyanide as cyanide source. The scope and limitations of the process were established by varying the nature of the alkene and radical precursor. Carbocyanation of chiral allylsilanes was shown to occur with high diastereocontrol, leading to syn β‐silyl nitriles. The origin of the stereocontrol was
The first total synthesis of eucophylline was reported in 10 steps and 10% overall yield. The naphthyridine core of eucophylline was prepared through the coupling between a strained azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one and a trisubstituted benzonitrile, followed by a cyclization of the corresponding amidine. This coupling reaction was shown to proceed through a stable bicyclic chloroenamine intermediate. The

Alkeneaminooxygenation and dioxygenation reactions that result in carbonyl products are uncommon, and protocols that control absolute stereochemistry are rare. We report herein catalytic enantioselective alkeneaminooxygenation and dioxygenation that directly provide enantioenriched 2-formyl saturated heterocycles under aerobic conditions. Cyclization of substituted 4-pentenylsulfonamides, catalyzed
