We developed a stereocontrolled route allowing potential access to the eight isomers of 4-benzylaminohex-5-ene-1,2,3-triol in two or four steps and ca. 50% yield from readily available chiral nonracemic cis- or trans-alpha,beta-epoxyimine precursors. A new (NH(4))(2)CO(3)-based carboxylation/intramolecular cyclization sequence allowed regio- and stereocontrolled C-3 epoxide opening while neat C-2 hydrolysis was ensured by simple aqueous acidic treatment.

A new stereoselective [4+2] annulation method for constructing tetracyclic indolines by reacting indoles with bicyclic N-substituted cyclobutanes has been developed. Using Sc(OTf) as a catalyst, a series of tetracyclic indolines with four continued stereogenic carbon centers have been obtained in ≤86% yields as single diastereomers. This reaction offers an accessible way for the rapid construction of the core structures of biologically active natural products like paucidirinine, deethylibophyllidine, and ibophyllidine.

We present a versatile palladium-catalyzed glycosylation platform that enables facile access to structurally diverse N-O-linked glycosides with constantly excellent regio- and stereoselectivities. Importantly, this approach offers a broad substrate scope, low catalyst loadings, and outstanding chemoselectivity, allowing for the selective reaction of oximes/hydroximic acids over hydroxyl groups that would otherwise pose challenges in conventional glycosylation methods. The synthetic utility of this method is further exemplified through a range of synthetic transformations and late-stage modification of bioactive molecules.

Catalytic alkene isomerization is a powerful synthetic strategy for preparing valuable internal alkenes from simple feedstocks. The utility of olefin isomerization hinges on the ability to control both positional and stereoisomerism to access a single product among numerous potential isomers. Within base-metal catalysis, relatively little is known about how to modulate reactivity and selectivity with group 6 metal-catalyzed isomerization.

Electrochemical, fully stereoselective P(V)-radical hydrophosphorylation of olefins and carbonyl compounds using a P(V) reagent is disclosed. By strategically selecting the anode material, radical reactivity is accessible for alkene hydrophosphorylation whereas a polar pathway operates for ketone hydrophosphorylation. The mechanistic intricacies of these chemoselective transformations were explored in-depth.

Amino alcohols are vital in natural products, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and as key building blocks for various applications. Traditional synthesis methods often rely on polar bond retrosynthetic analysis, requiring extensive protecting group manipulations that complicate direct access. Here we show a streamlined approach using a serine-derived chiral carboxylic acid in stereoselective electrocatalytic decarboxylative transformations, enabling efficient access to enantiopure amino alcohols.
