ChemInform Abstract: Stereoselective Synthesis of syn-α-Methyl-β-hydroxy Esters.

2000

Abstract Boron enolates of an ethyl ketone structurally related to erythrulose react with achiral aldehydes in a highly stereoselective fashion to yield 1,2- syn /1,3- syn stereoisomers. Oxidative cleavage of the aldol adducts yields enantiopure O -formylated syn -α-methyl-β-hydroxy esters, easily cleaved to the corresponding hydroxyl-free compounds. The aforementioned ketone behaves therefore as a chiral propionate enolate equivalent.

ChemInform Abstract: The Construction of Quaternary Stereocenters by the Henry Reaction: Circumventing the Usual Reactivity of Substituted Glyoxals.

2011

The enantioselective Henry reaction between alkyl- and arylglyoxal hydrates and nitromethane catalyzed by Cu(II)-iminopyridine complexes takes place regioselectively on the ketone carbonyl group to give chiral tertiary nitroaldols with high functional group density and enantiomeric excesses of up to 96 %. Both aromatic and aliphatic glyoxals are suitable substrates for this reaction.

Base-catalyzed isomerization of 2-isoxazolines enables a two-step enantioselective synthesis of β-hydroxynitriles from enals.

2010

The asymmetric synthesis of β-hydroxynitriles remains a challenge in organic synthesis. Herein we report a convenient synthesis of β-hydroxynitriles from enantiomerically enriched 3-unsubstituted 2-isoxazolines via a base-catalyzed ring-opening reaction that takes place without loss of enantiopurity. In combination with organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of 3-unsubstituted 2-isoxazolines, the ring-opening enables a short 2-step synthesis of β-hydroxynitriles from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in high enantiomeric purity.

Modular one-pot synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyrroles from alpha-(alkylideneamino)nitriles.

2007

2,3,4,5-Tetrasubstituted pyrroles have been prepared with high regioselectivity by a formal cycloaddition of alpha-(alkylideneamino)nitriles and nitroolefins followed by elimination of HCN and HNO2. The reaction allows the convergent construction of the pyrrole ring in four steps from a nitroalkane and three aldehydes.

Enantioselective addition of Et2Zn to seven‐membered cyclic imines catalyzed by a (R)-VAPOL-Zn(II) complex

2017

Various substituted dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines underwent an enantioselective alkylation with Et2Zn catalyzed by a (R)-VAPOL-Zn(II) complex. The corresponding chiral 11-ethyl-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepine derivatives were obtained with good yields and moderate enantioselectivities. This represents the first example of enantioselective addition of Et2Zn to cyclic aldimines.

ChemInform Abstract: Enantioselective Addition of Terminal Alkynes to N-(Diphenylphosphinoyl)imines Catalyzed by Zn-BINOL Complexes.

2012

Abstract Chiral nonracemic N-(diphenylphosphinoyl)-protected propargylic amines have been prepared by addition of terminal alkynes to N-(diphenylphosphinoyl)aldimines in the presence of dimethylzinc and 3,3′-dibromo-BINOL as catalyst. The reaction works with a variety of aromatic and heteroaromatic aldimines and with different alkynes, providing the expected products in generally good yields and enantiomeric excesses (up to 96%).

Stereoselective Synthesis of 2-Substituted Pyrrolidines

2000

Using O-pivaloyl protected D-galactopyranosylamine and D-arabinopyranosylamine, (S) or (R) configured α-substituted homoallylamines are synthesized with high diastereoselectivity by reaction of the corresponding aldimines with allyltributylstannane. Electrophile-induced endo-trig-cyclization of these N-glycosylhomoallylamines gave the 2-substituted pyrrolidines of high diastereomeric purity.

Palladium-Catalyzed C—C Coupling Reactions in the Enantioselective Synthesis of 2,4-Disubstituted 4,5-Dehydropiperidines Using Galactosylamine as a S…

2005

Abstract Stereoselective synthesis of enantiomerically pure 2,4-disubstituted piperidine derivatives, which are considered interesting pharmacophoric structures, was achieved starting with a tandem Mannich–Michael reaction sequence on O -pivaloylated N -galactosyl aldimines. Subsequent conversion of the thus formed 2-substituted dehydropiperidinones into the corresponding enol triflates was carried out by conjugate hydride addition and trapping the enolate with N , N -bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)aniline. Their Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids was performed under conditions compatible with the carbohydrate structure, in particular, with the sensitive N -glycosi…

Organocatalyticanti-Selective Mannich Reactions with Fluorinated Aldimines: Synthesis ofanti-γ-Fluoroalkyl-γ-amino Alcohols

2009

The asymmetric Mannich reaction between fluoroalkyl aldimines and aldehydes catalyzed by α,α-diphenylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether is reported. The corresponding Mannich adducts were reduced in situ to afford anti-β-alkyl-γ-fluoroalkyl-γ-amino alcohols in moderate yields and with very high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.
