[reaction: see text] The highly stereoselective synthesis of beta-amino acids via the chiral 4-phenyloxazolidinone-controlled linear N-acyliminium ion reaction has been achieved by employing chiral N,O-acetal TMS ethers. In addition, the mechanism of the excellent stereochemical outcome has been elucidated. The oxazolidinone auxiliary plays a dual role in stereocontrol: the E/Z geometry control of the N-acyliminium ion induced by an initial stereoselective amide reduction, leading to the chiral N,O-acetal TMS ether, and face control of the nucleophile attack in the N-acyliminium ion reaction.

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.

An efficient methodology for the synthesis of dihydro[1,2,3]triazolo-pyrimidoisoindolones and dihydro[1,2,3]triazolo-diazepinoisoindolones has been developed using the Huisgen reaction from sodium azide and alkyne substituted amido alcohols in moderate to good yields. The reaction involves the generation of the -acyliminium ion intermediate, which undergoes a nucleophilic attack by the azide ion, followed by a [3 + 2]-intramolecular azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. Importantly, the reaction proceeds without the involvement of any transition metal catalyst.

Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, 201002, India.

Herein, we disclose a selective, versatile, accessible, cost-effective and highly efficient cation-exchange industrial grade INDION 130 resin as a reusable catalyst for the synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolinones from various γ-hydroxy lactams and a variety of C, N, O, and S nucleophiles involving N-acyliminium ion intermediates under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies suggested the generation of a different kind of kinetically and thermodynamically controlled intermediates/eliminated products, which further converted to their corresponding products depending upon the nucleophile, reaction parameter and nitrogen substitution (benzyl vs. aryl) of the substrate (succinamidals vs.
