Aliphatic and aromatic sulfonamides were alkynylated with 1-bromo-1-alkynes in the catalytic presence of CuI to give N-(1-alkynyl)sulfonamides in good to excellent yields. The acetylene-titanium complexes generated from N-(1-alkynyl)benzosultams underwent diastereoselective addition to aldehydes. [reaction: see text]

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.

A concise and convergent synthesis of the isosteroidal alkaloids veratramine and 20--veratramine has been accomplished. A Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination joins two chiral building blocks of approximately equal complexity and a transition-metal catalyzed intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition-aromatization cascade constructs the tetrasubstituted arene. Other key steps include a highly diastereoselective crotylation of an -sulfonyl iminium ion and an Eschenmoser fragmentation.

This work describes a chiral bifunctional squaramide/DBU sequential catalytic strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of nonfused chiral eight-membered O-heterocycles through the asymmetric addition of ynones to β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters followed by the regio- and diastereoselective cyclization of the adduct intermediates. Mechanistic experiments revealed that an isomerization process should be involved in the ring formation step, and the origin of the high regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity has also been elucidated by the DFT calculations.

A novel copper-catalyzed formal diastereoselective [4 + 3] cycloaddition of 2-arylaziridines and 2-substituted cyclopentadiene was developed. This transformation provided an efficient protocol for the assembly of a highly strained bridged azabicyclo[3.2.
