Diastereoselective enolate alkylation reactions of N-acylsulfinamides and conversion of the alkylation products to a variety of enantiopure products are reported. Several sulfinamides were prepared in solution followed by acylation to provide N-acylsulfinamides. The N-acylsulfinamides were then evaluated in diastereoselective enolate alkylation reactions. Of the sulfinamides evaluated, tert-butanesulfinamide provided the highest diastereoselectivity. To establish the potential utility of sulfinamides as versatile auxiliaries, methods were developed for (1) the racemization-free acylation of tert-butanesulfinamide to prepare optically pure N-acyl-tert-butanesulfinamides, (2) the diastereoselective C-alkylation of N-acyl-tert-butanesulfinamides, (3) the conversion of the N-acyl-tert-butanesulfinamides to the active ester equivalent by N-alkylation and S-oxidation, and (4) the cleavage of the N-alkyl-N-acyl-tert-butanesulfonamides to give chiral alcohol, ester, amide, and carboxylic acid target compounds. These studies provide the groundwork for the development of sulfinamides as dual chiral auxiliaries and linkers for the multistep solid-phase synthesis of enantioenriched compounds.

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of 1,4-(Hetero) Dicarbonyl Compounds through α-Carbonyl Umpolung.
J Am Chem Soc

Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Leipzig, 04103 Leipzig, Germany.
The enantioselective synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds continues to pose a significant challenge in organic synthesis, and a catalytic process which generates two adjacent stereogenic centers with full stereochemical control is lacking until now. The 1,4-relationship of the functional groups requires an Umpolung strategy as one of the α-carbonyl positions has to be inverted into an electrophilic center to react with a normal enolate. We report herein the highly enantio- and diastereoselective addition of silyl ketene acetals toward electrophilic 1-azaallyl cations to furnish chiral 4-hydrazonoesters, which are masked 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds.

The functionalized polycycle with densely contiguous tertiary stereocenters is a formidable challenge in synthesizing the parvistemoline family of Stemona alkaloids. We herein report their catalytic, asymmetric total syntheses in 13-14 steps from commercially available 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-pyrrole, featuring the development and deployment of an Ir/Pd-synergistically-catalyzed allylation of α-non-substituted keto esters with secondary aryl-substituted alcohols, stereodivergently accessible to four stereoisomers. Using chiral Pd-enolate and Ir π-allyl complex under neutral conditions, no epimerization occurs.

Herein, we present an economical method for highly enantioselective and diastereoselective Cu-BINAP-catalysed reductive coupling of alkoxyallenes with a range of electronically and structurally diverse ketones to afford 1,2-,-diols, using PMHS as the hydride source. This reductive coupling has also been efficiently employed in the enantioselective desymmetrization of prochiral cyclic ketones harboring quaternary centres, in high yields with exclusive diastereoselectivity. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are used to elucidate that the reaction is facilitated by a kinetically favourable "open" -enolate copper-alkoxyallene conformer, occurring at a lower Gibbs free energy barrier (by 3.

Here, we report a robust nickel-catalyzed α,β-dehydrogenation process designed for substrates that contain electron-withdrawing sulfur and phosphorus groups. Leveraging the formation of organozinc intermediates and the utilization of a mild oxidant, allyl methyl carbonate, this methodology exhibits remarkable efficiency and outstanding diastereoselectivities across a diverse array of substrates, achieving E : Z ratios exceeding 20 : 1. Investigation through deuterium incorporation studies and an analysis of the reaction sequence leading to the formation of the dehydrogenative allylation side product, provide useful insights into reaction optimization.
