Bicyclic iminium ethers can be synthesized by the reactions of ketones with hydroxyalkyl azides. These cationic species react with a variety of nucleophiles via two possible pathways. The initially formed, kinetic product arises from direct addition to the iminium carbon in the substrate. In some cases, the initial adduct reverts to the starting iminium ether and the ultimate product arises from nucleophilic displacement at the O-alkyl group to afford the terminally functionalized N-substituted amide. The behavior of a range of nucleophiles was studied by using several iminium ethers. In general, the relevant pathway could be identified by characterization of the product formed. For hydroxide addition, which can afford only one product regardless of mechanism, the reaction was shown to arise by the kinetic pathway, using (18)O-labeled hydroxide. A one-pot synthesis of functionalized lactams entailing treatment of ketones first with hydroxyalkyl azides followed by nucleophilic addition was also developed.

A comparative study of the copolymerization of racemic propylene oxide (PO) with CO catalyzed by racemic (salcy)CoX (salcy = ,'-bis(3,5-di--butylsalicylidene)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane; X = perfluorobenzoate (OBzF) or 2,4-dinitrophenoxy (DNP)) in the presence of a [PPN]Cl ([PPN] = bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium) cocatalyst is performed in bulk at 21 °C and a 2.5 MPa pressure of CO. The increase in the nucleophilicity of an attacking anion results in the increase in the copolymerization rate.

A "one-step" strategy has been demonstrated for the tunable synthesis of multifunctional aliphatic polycarbonates (APCs) with ethylene oxide (EO), ethylene carbonate (EC), and cyclohexene oxide (CHO) side groups by the copolymerization of 4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene diepoxide with carbon dioxide under an aminotriphenolate iron/PPNBz (PPN = bis(triphenylphosphine)-iminium, Bz = benzoate) binary catalyst. By adjusting the PPNBz-to-iron complex ratio and incorporating auxiliary solvents, the content of functional side groups can be tuned within the ranges of 53-75% for EO, 18-47% for EC, and <1-7% for CHO. The yield and molecular weight distribution of the resulting multifunctional APCs are affected by the viscosity of the polymerization system.

In this Letter, we demonstrate the usefulness of hydrazone activation for the synthesis of biologically relevant tetrahydroindolizines. A pyrrol-derived hydrazone bearing a Michael acceptor moiety in the -alkyl side chain has been designed with the aim of participating in the aminocatalytic cascade reaction leading to the annulation of the new six-membered heterocyclic scaffold. The application of ()-(-)-α,α-diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol trimethylsilyl ether as the aminocatalyst allows for the iminium ion-enamine-mediated cascade to proceed in a fully stereoselective manner.

A novel organocatalytic one-pot cascade ether oxidation iminium-ion activation strategy for the synthesis of naphtho[2,1-]furan-1-carbaldehyde and benzofuran-3-carbaldehyde from high atomic utilization transformation of aryl allyl ethers has been developed. Its synthetic application will provide a new ether oxidation iminium-ion activation cascade tool for the efficient synthesis of complex molecules.

The synthesis and characterisation of a bis(iminium)phenoxide diacid cation [4-Bu-CH-2,6-(HCN(H)Dipp)-1-O] ([HL]), is discussed. [HL][BF] (1) and [HL][HN{B(CF)}] (2) were synthesised in high yields protonation of the bis(imino)phenol conjugate base with ethereal HBF or Bochmann's acid ([H(OEt)][HN{B(CF)}]). Both species were fully characterised using NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as X-ray crystallography.
