Enantioselective synthesis of fluorinated alpha-amino acids and derivatives in combination with ring-closing metathesis: intramolecular pi-stacking i…
2001
[reaction: see text]. Hydride reduction of C=N bonds stereocontrolled by intramolecular pi-stacking interactions of 1-naphthylsulfinyl and N-aryl groups, nonoxidative Pummerer rearrangement, and ring-closing metathesis are efficiently combined in a highly stereoselective entry to enantiomerically pure cyclic and acyclic fluorinated beta-amino alcohols and alpha-amino acid derivatives, respectively.
1,7-Octadiene-Assisted Tandem Multicomponent Cross-Enyne Metathesis (CEYM)-Diels-Alder Reactions: A Useful Alternative to Mori’s Conditions
2012
The use of 1,7-octadiene as an in situ source of ethylene led us to develop a novel multicomponent tandem cross-enyne metathesis (CEYM)-Diels-Alder reaction. The process can be considered a relay metathesis, in which the ethylene liberated in the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of 1,7-octadiene initiates the tandem sequence. Aliphatic, aromatic, and fluorinated alkynes and several dienophiles are compatible with the process, which is particularly efficient with aromatic alkynes. This methodology constitutes a useful variant of Mori's conditions in CEYM-related reactions.
Asymmetric Allylation/RCM-Mediated Synthesis of Fluorinated Benzo-Fused Bicyclic Homoallylic Amines As Dihydronaphthalene Derivatives
2016
Enantiomerically enriched fluorinated benzo-fused bicyclic homoallylic amities have been synthesized through an asymmetric allylation/ring closing metathesis (RCM) sequence. This sequence has been carried out using alpha-trifluoromethylstyrene derivatives as key intermediates, synthesized by microwave radiation. The great deactivating effect exerted by such substituents has been brought to light by a comparative study.
A Concise, Asymmetric Synthesis of Tetramic Acid Derivatives
2002
[reaction: see text] A simple, asymmetric synthesis of tetramic acid derivatives is described in this paper. The key step is a carbonyl transfer from carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) to alpha-diimines (I) to form N-alkyl-4-alkylamino-5-methylenepyrrol-2-ones (II). In turn, these compounds can be easily transformed into tetramic acid derivatives (III) in two additional steps.
First Highly Diastereoselective Synthesis of syn α-Methyl β-Fluoroalkyl β-Amino Esters
1999
A new two-step approach for the diastereoselective synthesis of the syn α-methyl β-fluoroalkyl β-amino esters 4 has been developed. This approach is based on the chemical reduction of the fluorinated β-enamino esters 3, which have been previously obtained from imidoyl chlorides 1 and lithium ester enolates, with ZnI2/NaBH4 as the reducing agent. The process takes place with high syn diastereoselectivity and good to excellent yields. A metal-chelated six-membered model has been suggested to explain the stereochemical outcome of the reduction reaction.

The protocol relies on a relay metathesis process, in which 1,7-octadiene acts as an in situ source of ethylene.
