Silver Oxide Mediated Monotosylation of Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG): Heterobifunctional PEG via Polymer Desymmetrization
2017
Heterobifunctional poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEGs) are key structures for bioconjugation in the context of the “PEGylation” strategy to enhance blood circulation times of, for example, peptide drugs or “stealth” liposomes. The formation of heterobifunctional PEGs from symmetric PEG diols is challenging because of limited yields of the targeted monofunctional product and difficulties associated with separation steps. On the basis of a detailed comparison of reaction conditions, we have investigated a “polymer desymmetrization” strategy to maximize the yields of monofunctional PEG tosylate. The tosylation reaction in the presence of the heterogeneous catalyst silver oxide and potassium iodide i…
Recent Advances in Enantioselective Desymmetrizations of Prochiral Oxetanes
2021
Abstract Strain relief of oxetanes offers a plethora of opportunities for the synthesis of chiral alcohols and ethers. In this context, enantioselective desymmetrization has been identified as a powerful tool to construct molecular complexity and this has led to the development of elegant strategies on the basis of transition metal, Lewis acid, and Brønsted acid catalysis. This review highlights recent examples that harness the inherent reactivity of prochiral oxetanes and offers an outlook on the immense possibilities for synthetic application.
Biferrocene Amino Acid, a Ferrocenylogoue of Ferrocene Amino Acid: Synthesis, Cross-Linking, and Redox Chemistry
2010
Access of the novel biferrocene amino acid 7 is provided by two different routes, namely, via desymmetrization of a biferrocene and via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of two substituted ferrocenes. The dissymmetric biferrocene 7 is head−head coupled to ureylene-bridged bis(biferrocene) 9 and also head−tail coupled to amide-bridged bis(biferrocene) 14. The monomer 7 and the dimers 9 and 14 are oxidized to mixed-valent cations 7+, 9+, 92+, and 142+. The valencies are trapped in the solid state as shown by Mossbauer and EPR spectroscopy and by X-ray diffraction analysis of [7](I3). Paramagnetic NMR shift studies (7 → 7+) suggest that the hole is localized at the N-substituted ferrocene uni…

Asymmetric Synthesis of Spiro β-Lactamsviaa Squaramide- Catalyzed Sulfa-Michael Addition/Desymmetrization Protocol
2016
An efficient asymmetric synthesis of spirocyclohexenone β-lactams bearing three contiguous stereocenters has been achieved in moderate to good yields and high stereoselectivities. The protocol involves the combination of a squaramide-catalyzed sulfa-Michael addition under desymmetrization via a dynamic kinetic resolution of racemic 2,5-cyclohexadienones.
Stereoselective Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure Piperidine Derivatives by N-Galactosylation of Pyridones.
2004
Stereoselective desymmetrization of 4-pyridone has been achieved through selective N-galactosylation, activation of the N-(galactosyl)pyridone by O-silylation and immediate addition of Grignard compounds. Chiral piperidine derivatives, e.g. (S)-(+)-coniine and (5S,9S)-(+)-indolozidine 167B, were synthesised in enantiomerically pure form using these highly regio- and stereoselective reactions. After N-galactosylation of 2-pyridone and O-silylation of the N-galactosyl-2-pyridone, addition of a Grignard compound proceeded with high 1,4-regioselectivity and complete diastereoselectivity, to furnish 4-substituted 5,6-dehydro-2-piperidones.

Asymmetric synthesis of functionalized tetrahydrofluorenones via an NHC-catalyzed homoenolate Michael addition
2018
The first example of an N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed asymmetric desymmetrization of enal-tethered cyclohexadienones via an intramolecular homoenolate Michael addition/esterification reaction is described. This new protocol offers a direct entry to various functionalized tetrahydrofluorenones with three contiguous stereocenters in high yields, good diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities.

Asymmetric Intramolecular Aza-Michael Reaction in Desymmetrization Processes. Total Synthesis of Hippodamine and epi-Hippodamine
2015
The use of chiral sulfinyl amines both as nucleophilic nitrogen sources and chiral inducers has been described for the first time in a desymmetrization-type process involving an intramolecular aza-Michael reaction. The resulting product was employed as an advanced intermediate in the total synthesis of the natural product hippodamine and epi-hippodamine, taking advantage of the special symmetry of these molecules. In addition, this is the first asymmetric total synthesis of epi-hippodamine.
