ChemInform Abstract: Catalytic Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of Terminal Alkynes to β-Trifluoromethyl α,β-Enones.
The first enantioselective conjugate alkynylation of β-trifluoromethyl α,β-enones (II) using terminal alkynes (I) and a taniaphos-Cu(I) complex as catalyst is described.
Highly enantioselective copper(I)-catalyzed conjugate addition of terminal alkynes to 1,1-difluoro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-en-2-ones: new ester/amide surrogates in asymmetric catalysis.
A highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed conjugate alkynylation of monoactivated enones, namely 1,1-difluoro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-en-2-ones, is described. The reaction products are obtained with good yields and excellent enantioselectivities (from 92 to 99% ee). The β-alkynylated difluoro(phenylsulfonyl) ketones can be converted into the corresponding β-alkynylated difluoro- and trifluoromethyl ketones, esters and amides. This is the first example on the use of 1,1-difluoro-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-en-2-ones as substrates in an enantioselective reaction, which have been shown to be new ester/amide surrogates.

The first enantioselective conjugate alkynylation of β-trifluoromethyl α,β-enones using terminal alkynes and a taniaphos–Cu(I) complex as catalyst is described. Ketones bearing a trifluoromethylated propargylic chiral centre in the β-position were obtained with good yields and high enantiomeric excesses (up to 99%).
ChemInform Abstract: E,Z-Stereodivergent Synthesis of N-Tosyl α,β-Dehydroamino Esters via a Mukaiyama-Michael Addition
The stereodivergent synthesis of N-tosyl α,β-dehydroamino esters via a Mukaiyama–Michael addition is reported. The reaction of silylketene acetals with N-tosylimines derived from β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters in dichloromethane provided the corresponding (Z)-α,β-dehydroamino esters while the (E)-isomers were obtained when the reaction was carried out in the presence of 10 mol% copper(II) triflate.
