[reaction: see text] Asymmetric synthesis of densely functionalized bicyclic frameworks for entry into bacillariolides I/III and ent-bacillariolide II is reported. The key features are ring-closing metathesis of a pair of diastereomerically related dienes obtained through a stereodivergent route from a R-(+)-glyceraldehyde derivative, transformation of a nonstereoselective cyclopentene ester enolate alkylation process to a completely stereoselective one through alkylation of a bulky ester enolate with a bulky electrophile, and a remote silyloxymethyl group directed epoxidation.

This paper presents a new strategy for the construction of the chiral 4-chromene skeleton. A series of chiral 2-trifluoromethyl-4-(indol-3-yl)-4-chromenes were synthesized in moderate to good yields (60-92%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) through the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric condensation of 2-chromenes and indoles. These trifluoromethylated, stereochemically rich building blocks hold potential value in medicinal chemistry.

Since the introduction of the concept of inherent chirality by Böhmer, an important part of research focused on the asymmetric synthesis of calixarene macrocycles. However, long synthetic procedures and tedious separation strategies hampered the application of this technology in many topics of organic chemistry, including enantioselective molecular recognition and catalysis. Very recently, a new generation of enantioselective catalytic methodologies has been reported, able to provide highly functionalized, inherently chiral calixarenes in a straightforward manner.

A novel chiral ligand, named MAdPHOS, bearing a P-stereogenic phosphane and a diadamantyl phosphane linked by a NH bridge has been synthesized. This bulky, C-symmetric, PNP ligand has been prepared from enantiopure -butylmethyl aminophosphane and was obtained as a crystalline solid. The NH/PH tautomerism, air-stability, and σ-donor capacity of MAdPHOS have been assessed herein.
