An efficient method for the stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-alpha-arylacrylates is described. Treatment of alpha-hydroxyesters with triflic anhydride and pyridine at 0 degrees C followed by warming to room temperature afforded the corresponding (Z)-alpha-aryl-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters in very good yields and excellent stereoselectivity.

We report here the first example of a copper-catalyzed transformation involving nitro allyl derivatives. This borylation reaction, which exploits the high versatility of the aforementioned precursor, tolerates a variety of functional groups and allows practical, scalable, and highly straightforward access to diversely substituted allylboronic esters in high yields. The method was also extended to allyl sulfones, which provides a very complementary approach, offering additional structural diversity along with improved stereoselectivities.

C-N atropisomeric amides are important compounds in medicinal chemistry and agrochemistry. Atropselective methods for their synthesis are therefore important. In this study, a novel strategy to make C-N atropisomeric amides based on intramolecular acyl transfer a tethered Lewis basic pyridine or tertiary amine group is reported.

Several chemoenzymatic pathways have been developed for the stereoselective production of the drug tamsulosin. The interest in the exclusive synthesis of its ()-enantiomer lies in the greater activity compared to that displayed by its ()-counterpart for the treatment of kidney stones and benign prostatic hyperplasia disease. Using different types of biocatalysts such as lipases, alcohol dehydrogenases and transaminases, three complementary strategies have been studied to introduce chirality into a key synthetic precursor.

Construction of vinylsilane building blocks is important for advancing the synthesis of complex small molecules and natural products. Herein, we report a highly regio- and stereoselective copper-catalyzed hydrosilylation of unsymmetrical internal aryl alkynes. The reaction is performed across a broad scope of internal aryl alkynes, providing exclusive access to α-vinylsilane alkenyl arene products, including several silylated small molecule drug analogs.

Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) are an important class of nutrients and are involved in lipid metabolism. The positions of the C=C bond and cis-trans isomerism have a significant influence on their physiological activity. However, simultaneously detecting these two structural properties has been challenging due to multiple isomers of MUFA.
