[reaction: see text] In an effort to develop new ways of synthesizing polycyclic alkaloids, we successfully added silyl enol ethers, allylsilanes, and enamines to iminium ions generated from amides. Because of their higher oxidation state, such iminiums show a yet unexploited advantage of potential double cyclizations over standard Mannich monocyclizations. We report herein the first example of tethered nonaromatic carbon nucleophiles adding to activated amides for the generation of enaminals of various ring sizes, with endo- or exo-cyclic nitrogen.

Catalytic asymmetric dicarbofunctionalization of tethered alkenes has emerged as a promising tool for producing chiral cyclic molecules; however, it typically relies on aryl-tethered alkenes to form benzene-fused compounds. Herein, we report an enantioselective cross-electrophile divinylation reaction of nonaromatic substrates, 2-bromo-1,6-dienes. The approach thus offers a route to new chiral cyclic architectures, which are key structural motifs found in various biologically active compounds.

The extent of conformational rigidity determines hydration in nonaromatic hexacyclic systems.

We conducted an ultrasonic study of the hydration number for hexacyclic systems. We find from these experiments that cyclohexane-based molecules such as cyclohexanol and myo-inositol show a very small increase in hydration number despite the large difference in the number of hydroxyl groups present in each of the molecules. There is however a dramatic increase in hydration number when shifting from molecules with a cyclohexane frame to molecules with a cyclopyranose frame particularly glucose.
