The rate of decarboxylation of 6-nitrobenzisoxazole-3-carboxylate, NBOC, was determined in micelles of N-hexadecyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide or chloride (CTAB or CTAC), N-hexadecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonium-1-propanesulfonate (HPS), N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonium-1-propanesulfonate (DPS), N-dodecyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), hexadecylphosphocholine (HPC), and their mixtures. Quantitative analysis of the effect on micelles on the velocity of NBOC decarboxylation allowed the estimation of the rate constants in the micellar pseudophase, k(m), for the pure surfactants and their mixtures. The extent of micellar catalysis for NBOC decarboxylation, expressed as the ratio k(m)/k(w), where k(w) is the rate constant in water, varied from 240 for HPS to 62 for HPC. With HPS or DPS, k(m) decreased linearly with CTAB(C) mole fraction, suggesting ideal mixing. With HPC, k(m) increased to a maximum at a CTAB(C) mole fraction of ca. 0.5 and then decreased at higher CTAB(C). Addition of CTAB(C) to HPC, where the negative charge of the surfactant is close to the hydrophobic core, produces tight ion pairs at the interface and, consequently, decreases interfacial water contents. Interfacial dehydration at the surface in equimolar HPC/CTAB(C) mixtures, and interfacial solubilization site of the substrate, can explain the observed catalytic synergy, since the rate of NBOC decarboxylation increases markedly with the decrease in hydrogen bonding to the carboxylate group.

Organocatalytic, enantioselective decarboxylative Mannich reactions of α,β-unsaturated β'-ketoacids and isatin -Boc imines, to give the corresponding 3-carbamoyl-2-oxindole derivatives, were developed. Subsequent N-deprotection and diastereoselective, intramolecular, aza-Michael reaction of the free amine provides previously unreported spiro[indoline-3,2'-piperidine]-2,4'-diones.

The chiral keto-substituted propargylamines are an essential class of multifunctional compounds in the field of organic and pharmaceutical synthesis and have attracted considerable attention, but the related synthetic approaches remain limited. Therefore, a concise and efficient method for the enantioselective synthesis of β-keto propargylamines chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich reaction between β-keto acids and -alkynyl -Boc ,-acetals as easily available -alkynyl imine precursors has been demonstrated here, affording a broad scope of β-keto -Boc-propargylamines in high yields (up to 97%) with generally high enantioselectivities (up to 97 : 3 er).

Herein, we reported an efficient and general synthetic route to assemble benzene-modified 2 generation strigolactams and GR24. The key features of this synthesis include a palladium-catalyzed ortho-selective olefination of the commercially available substituted N-Boc phenylalanine and a decarboxylative Giese radical cyclization. The bioactivities of these compounds to stimulate the seed germination of Orobanche aegyptiaca parasitic weed were also analysed.

A one-pot, metal-free, double cyclization for the synthesis of bicyclic 2-pyridones as peptidomimetics was developed. In this process, the transformation of 2-pyrones bearing a tethered, homochiral α-amino acid started with the removal of the -Boc protective group under acidic or neutral conditions at elevated temperature, followed by several key transformations, including cyclic enamine formation, decarboxylation or esterification, isomerization, and lactamization, to furnish bicyclic 2-pyridones in up to 98% yield with retention of the chirality at the α-carbon of the amino acid portion of the molecule. Exploration of the substrate scope revealed some selectivity between the decarboxylation and esterification pathways under thermal acidic conditions, while performing the reaction in boiling water yielded the decarboxylation products exclusively.

An enantioselective synthesis of diverse 4-Boc-protected α,α-disubstituted piperazin-2-ones using the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation reaction has been achieved. Using a chiral Pd-catalyst derived from an electron deficient PHOX ligand, chiral piperazinones are synthesized in high yields and enantioselectivity. The chiral piperazinone products can be deprotected and reduced to valuable -disubstituted piperazines.
