ChemInform Abstract: Asymmetric Allylation/Ring Closing Metathesis: One-Pot Synthesis of Benzo-Fused Cyclic Homoallylic Amines. Application to the Fo…
2013
A stepwise process consisting of asymmetric allylation of imines of type (I) and following ring-closing metathesis of the resulting dienes (III) is developed to synthesize cyclic homoallylic amines.
Reaction of lithium enediolates with perfluoroketene dithioacetals. Synthesis of α-trifluoromethyl γ-dicarboxylic acid derivatives
2004
The reaction of perfluoroketene dithioacetals with dianions of carboxylic acids proceeds through the substitution of the vinylic fluoride. The preparative value of this reaction depends strongly on the reaction and work-up conditions, the optimisation of which led to use LDA as a base and multiple extraction techniques. The overall process may be considered as a formal synthesis of α-trifluoromethyl γ-dicarboxylic acid derivatives.
Asymmetric Allylation/Ring Closing Metathesis: One-Pot Synthesis of Benzo-fused Cyclic Homoallylic Amines. Application to the Formal Synthesis of Ser…
2013
A one-pot asymmetric allylation/ring closing metathesis (RCM) sequence for the synthesis of cyclic homoallylic amines has been developed. A library of six- and seven-membered benzo-fused products has been synthesized in good yields and complete diastereoselectivity. The new methodology has been applied to the formal syntheses of the antidepressant Sertraline and the epimeric Norsertraline. The methodology is amenable for the synthesis of analogs.
Formal synthesis of ent-Cephalotaxine using a one-pot Parham-aldol sequence
2018
A short formal synthesis of ent-Cephalotaxine is achieved. The approach features a new Lewis acid mediated [2,3]-Stevens rearrangement of N-allylated prolineamide to generate a key quaternary stereogenic center. Additionally, a one-pot Parham–aldol sequence was developed to rapidly assembly two of the four rings in the cephalotaxine core. peerReviewed
Desymmetrization of Prochiral Cyclobutanones via Nitrogen Insertion: A Concise Route to Chiral γ‐Lactams
2021
Abstract Asymmetric access to γ‐lactams is achieved via a cyclobutanone ring expansion using widely available (1S,2R)‐1‐amino‐2‐indanol for chiral induction. Mechanistic analysis of the key N,O‐ketal rearrangement reveals a Curtin–Hammett scenario, which enables a downstream stereoinduction (up to 88:12 dr) and is corroborated by spectroscopic, crystallographic, and computational studies. In combination with an easy deprotection protocol, this operationally simple sequence allows the synthesis of a range of optically pure γ‐lactams, including those bearing all‐carbon quaternary stereocenters. In addition, the formal synthesis of drug molecules baclofen, brivaracetam, and pregabalin further …
