Spiro-3,2'-azetidine oxindoles combine two independently important pharmacophores in an understudied spirocyclic motif that is attractive for medicinal chemistry. Here, the enantioselective synthesis of these structures is achieved in up to 2:98 er through intramolecular C-C bond formation, involving activation of the substrate with a novel SF-containing chiral cation phase-transfer (PT) catalyst. The products are readily elaborated/deprotected to afford medicinally relevant enantioenriched compounds.

In this personal account, we describe our recent advances in the three types of phase-transfer catalysis for various transformations including asymmetric induction: Firstly, asymmetric phase-transfer catalysis with Maruoka-type C -symmetric chiral biaryl-modified tetraalkylammonium salts and phosphonium salts; Secondly, asymmetric phase-transfer catalysis under base-free and neutral conditions; Thirdly, hydrogen-bonding catalysis using tetraalkylammonium and trialkylsulfonium salts. These three different strategies are illustrated by using various phase-transfer catalyzed transformations.

A general phase-transfer-catalyzed asymmetric (+1) ( = 4 or 5) annulation reaction, featuring the direct coupling of simple oxindoles with alkyl dihalides that are allylic/benzylic and non-allylic/benzylic, has been developed to provide previously inaccessible cyclopentane- and cyclohexane-fused spirooxindole scaffolds with high yields and enantioselectivities (88-95% ee). Along with a broad scope and mild conditions, the new protocol also enables a two-step and gram-scale synthesis of the core of the drug ubrogepant.

N-N axially chiral skeletons are significant structural motifs in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials. Herein we disclose a method for the asymmetric synthesis of N-N axially chiral compounds by phase-transfer catalysis. A wide range of N-N axially chiral quinazolinone derivatives were prepared in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities.
