Organocatalytic Stereoselective Epoxidation of Trisubstituted Acrylonitriles
摘要:
The first diastereospecific and enantioselective epoxidation of trans-2-aroyl-3-arylacrylonitriles by means of the commercially available diaryl L-prolinol/tert-butyl hydroperoxide system has been developed. These diversely functionalized epoxides were obtained in excellent yield (up to 99%), complete diastereoselectivity for the transisomer, and good enantioselectivity (up to 84% ee). Highly enantioenriched epoxides can be easily obtained after a single crystallization (ee > 90%).
DABCO-mediated [4 + 4] domino annulation reactions of ynones and α-cyano-α,β-unsaturated ketones were discovered. The domino process affords an alternative route to eight-membered cyclic ethers in good yields under mild conditions.

An organocatalyticasymmetric cascade reaction has been developed for the synthesis of highlysubstituted pyrrolidines having a stereogenic quaternary centre at the 3-position. N-Tosyl aminomethyl enone and trans-α-cyano-α,β-unsaturated ketone were utilized as the reaction partners in this method. Cinchonidine derived bifunctional amino-squaramide catalysts were the best to obtain the products in high
Asymmetric Synthesis of Trisubstituted Tetrahydrothiophenes Bearing a Quaternary Stereocenter via Double Michael Reaction Involving Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
The stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized tetrahydrothiophenes bearing threecontiguousstereocenters, one of them quaternary, can be achieved by reacting trans-α-cyano-α,β-unsaturated ketones and trans-tert-butyl 4-mercapto-2-butenoate in the presence of a readily available amine thiourea. The products are obtained in high yield, good diastereoselectivity, and excellent enantioselectivity
Phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of β-sulfonamido-substituted enones with <i>trans</i>-α-cyano-α,β-unsaturated ketones for the synthesis of highly substituted pyrrolidines
To synthesize highly substituted pyrrolidines, we developed a phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of β-sulfonamido-substituted enones with trans-α-cyano-α,β-unsaturated ketones. We prepared a series of pyrrolidines under mild conditions with high yields and moderate-to-good diastereoselectivities. A catalytic mechanism for this reaction is suggested.
While phosphine-mediated reactions have been extensively explored over the past few decades, the catalytic cyclopropanation reaction via a phosphonium ylide pathway has been significantly underdeveloped, and an intermolecular version still remains to be disclosed. Presented herein is a catalytic cyclopropanation reaction between readily available benzylbromides and activated alkenes, such as α-cyano
