The intrinsic gas-phase reactivity of cyclic N-acyliminium ions in Mannich-type reactions with the parent enol silane, vinyloxytrimethylsilane, has been investigated by double- and triple-stage pentaquadrupole mass spectrometric experiments. Remarkably distinct reactivities are observed for cyclic N-acyliminium ions bearing either endocyclic or exocyclic carbonyl groups. NH-Acyliminium ions with endocyclic carbonyl groups locked in s-trans forms participate in a novel tandem N-acyliminium ion reaction: the nascent adduct formed by simple addition is unstable and rearranges by intramolecular trimethylsilyl cation shift to the ring nitrogen, and an acetaldehyde enol molecule is eliminated. An NSi(CH(3))(3)-acyliminium ion is formed, and this intermediate ion reacts with a second molecule of vinyloxytrimethylsilane by simple addition to form a stable acyclic adduct. N-Acyl and N,N-diacyliminium ions with endocyclic carbonyl groups, for which the s-cis conformation is favored, react distinctively by mono polar [4(+) + 2] cycloaddition yielding stable, ressonance-stabilized cycloadducts. Product ions were isolated via mass-selection and structurally characterized by triple-stage mass spectrometric experiments. B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) calculations corroborate the proposed reaction mechanisms.

A highly efficient enantioselective enamine-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition has been developed to directly convert unfunctionalized cyclic α-hydroxyamides into chiral cyclic α-hydroxyamides by reacting with vinyl sulfones, which could be used as versatile azacyclic synthons in the following sequences: (1) as the precursors of cyclic -acyliminium ions to prepare natural productlike chiral azapolycyclic compounds under acidic conditions and (2) to construct chiral cyclic imides bearing unilateral substituents via oxidation reaction-induced formal desymmetrization.

A novel three-component strategy has been developed for the synthesis of iminosugars in good to excellent yields. This is the first report on the Mannich type addition of cyclic 1,3-diketones to aza-acetal derived from hydroxy-γ-lactone and arylamine to produce a novel series of aza-sugars with high selectivity.

We have developed a catalytic aza-Nazarov reaction of -acyliminium salts generated in situ from the reaction of a variety of cyclic and acyclic imines with α,β-unsaturated acyl chlorides to afford substituted α-methylene-γ-lactam heterocycles. The reactions proceed effectively in the presence of catalytic (20 mol %) amounts of AgOTf as an anion exchange agent or hydrogen-bond donors such as squaramides and thioureas as anion-binding organocatalysts. The aza-Nazarov cyclization of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines with α,β-unsaturated acyl chlorides gives tricyclic lactam products in up to 79% yield with full diastereocontrol (dr = >99:1).

Herein, we report the first chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-catalyzed asymmetric addition of α-fluoro(phenylsulfonyl)methane (FSM) derivatives to generated cyclic -acyliminium. This process enables metal-free expeditious access to sulfone and fluorine incorporating contiguous all substituted quaternary stereocenters ingrained in biorelevant isoindolinones in excellent stereoselectivities (up to 99% ee and up to 50 : 1 dr).

The synthesis of spiro[furan-2,1'-isoindolin]-3'-ones from 2-(4-hydroxybut-1-yn-1-yl)benzonitriles and aryl aldehydes is demonstrated. It involves the initial formation of dihydrofuranylideneisoindolinone via intramolecular sequential Prins and Ritter reactions, followed by the ring opening of the furanyl moiety to generate -acyliminium ions and alcohols for the final cyclization reaction, and the spiro-cyclic compounds are produced in moderate to good yields. It is a one-pot, three-component reaction in which one new quaternary carbon, two five-membered rings, one C-N bond, two C-O bonds, and one C-C bond are formed.
