High enantioselection is obtained in Michael additions of cyclic beta-ketoesters in the presence of lanthanium triflates and (S,S)-ip-pybox. Intermediates based on simultaneous coordination of the lanthanide to both (S,S)-ip-box and beta-ketoester (in keto and enolate forms) are detected by means of ESI mass spectrometry and NMR experiments, and a possible mechanism is proposed through theoretical calculations.

Catalytic prenyl conjugate additions for synthesis of enantiomerically enriched PPAPs.

Polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) are a class of >400 natural products with a broad spectrum of bioactivity, ranging from antidepressant and antimicrobial to anti-obesity and anticancer activity. Here, we present a scalable, regio-, site-, and enantioselective catalytic method for synthesis of cyclic β-prenyl ketones, compounds that can be used for efficient syntheses of many PPAPs in high enantiomeric purity. The transformation is prenyl conjugate addition to cyclic β-ketoesters promoted by a readily accessible chiral copper catalyst and involving an easy-to-prepare and isolable organoborate reagent.

Rh(III)-catalyzed direct oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling between -pyrimidylindoles and β-ketoesters is presented. Easily available β-ketoesters are used as an alkylating agent for the facile construction of all-carbon quaternary centers under mild conditions. The ester group in the product can undergo decarboxylation or decarboxylative amination.

The development of enantioselective synthetic methods capable of generating vicinal stereogenic centres, where one is tetrasubstituted (such as either an all-carbon quaternary centre or where one or more substituents are heteroatoms), is a recognised synthetic challenge. Herein, the enantioselective conjugate addition of a range of carbo- and heterocyclic α-substituted β-ketoesters to α,β-unsaturated aryl esters using the isothiourea HyperBTM as a Lewis base catalyst is demonstrated. Notably, divergent diastereoselectivity is observed through the use of either cyclopentanone-derived or indanone-derived substituted β-ketoesters with both generating the desired stereodefined products with high selectivity (>95 : 5 dr, up to 99 : 1 er).

Herein, we report the highly enantioselective α-fluorination of both cyclic and acyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds, including β-diketones, β-ketoesters, and β-ketoamides. The reactions with β,β-diaryl serines as primary amine organocatalysts were enhanced by adding alkali carbonates, such as NaCO or LiCO, and enabled the reaction to be conducted with only 1.1 equiv of Selectfluor.

The Cu(I)-catalyzed reaction between five-, six-, seven-, and eight-membered cyclic 1-bromoallyl tosylates and five- and six-membered cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyls in DMF at 80 °C using CsCO as a base and 2-picolinic acid as an additive selectively delivers a wide array of bisannulated 4-pyrans in a single step with yields up to 92%. The transformations are considered to proceed as intermolecular C-allylations/intramolecular O-vinylations. With six-membered cyclic 1-bromoallyl tosylates and acyclic β-ketoesters as substrates, the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4-chromene-3-carboxylates are obtained with yields up to 59%.
