Zn-Catalyzed enantioselective allylation and allenylation of isatins by virtue of a proline-derived chiral ligand.

An asymmetric allylation and allenylation of isatins with facile organoboron reagents was developed under the catalysis of a Lewis acid. A series of optically pure 3-allyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles and 3-allenyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles can be obtained in excellent yields (up to 99% yield) and high enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee). The possible transition state was supported by DFT calculation and the corresponding mechanism was proposed.

A catalytic asymmetric Michael/cyclization cascade reaction of 3-isothiocyanato oxindoles and 3-nitroindoles has been disclosed with a chiral Zn(OTf)2/diphenylamine-linked bis(oxazoline) complex as the catalyst. A range of enantioenriched polycyclic spirooxindole derivatives containing three contiguous stereocenters were efficiently constructed in quantitative yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Importantly, the metal catalytic strategy in this work is significantly superior to the previous organocatalytic method in the diastereo- and enantioselectivities for almost all of the examined cases.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method for synthesizing piperidines using a zinc catalyst and a unique BOPA ligand has been developed through a specific [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 1-azadienes and nitro-alkenes, showing high selectivity during the process.
  • The modification of ortho substitution on the reacting arenes helps control the reaction environment and lowers the required temperatures, enhancing efficiency.
  • Studies suggest that the reaction follows a stepwise mechanism, starting with a Michael-type addition before cyclization, which enables effective reactions even between electron-deficient substrates.

In response to Berkeš's report revising the stereochemistry of HPA-12, an important ceramide-trafficking inhibitor that was discovered and synthesized and its stereochemistry determined in 2001, the synthesis and the stereochemistry were reinvestigated. A large-scale synthetic method for HPA-12 based on a Zn-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich-type reaction in water was developed. Single crystals of HPA-12 for X-ray crystallographic analysis were obtained from ethyl propionate/n-hexane, and the stereochemistry was definitely determined to be 1R,3S, consistent with Berkeš's revised structure.
