The best catalyst enabled the cyclization of several 5-arylhex-5-enoic acids into the corresponding bromolactones with up to 96% ee and in high to excellent chemical yields. The reported catalysts are prepared in a straightforward manner in two steps from dimethyl squarate. The utility of the developed protocol was demonstrated in highly enantioselective syntheses of the sesquiterpenoids (−)-gossoronol
The apple never falls far from the tree: S‐alkylthiocarbamate 1 (see scheme, NBP=N‐bromophthalimide) was prepared in high yield through a synthetic sequence involving a Newman–Kwart rearrangement of the corresponding O‐alkylthiocarbamates. Compound 1 was used to catalyze bromolactonization, thus providing enantioenriched δ‐lactones in excellent yield and enantioselectivity.
Catalytic Asymmetric Iodocyclization of<i>N-</i>Tosyl Alkenamides using Aminoiminophenoxy Copper Carboxylate: A Concise Synthesis of Chiral 8-Oxa-6-Azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes
A newly developed aminoiminophenoxycoppercarboxylate (L7‐Cu‐OAc)‐catalyzed asymmetriciodocyclization of N‐Tosyl alkenamides gave O‐cyclized products in good yields with high enantioselectivity. From the O‐cyclized products, a skeletal transformation was succeeded in the synthesis of biologically important chiral 8‐oxa‐6‐azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes. DFT calculations suggested that the acetoxy anion
A 3,3'-bis(aminoimino)BINOL ligand was newly designed and synthesized for the formation of a trinuclear Zn complex upon reaction with Zn(OAc)2. Using the harmony of the tri-zinc atoms, 1 mol% Zn3(OAc)4-3,3'-bis(aminoimino)binaphthoxide catalyzed asymmetriciodolactonization in up to 99.9% ee.
