Copper(II)-Catalyzed Asymmetric (3+3) Annulation of Diaziridines with Oxiranes.

Org Lett

Highly asymmetric (3+3) annulation of diaziridines with oxiranes via C-N bond cleavage in diaziridine was achieved under 10 mol % of chiral copper(II) complex as the catalyst under mild reaction conditions. With Cu(OTf) as the Lewis acid and C-symmetric imidazolidine-pyrroloimidazolone pyridine as the ligand, diverse tetrahydro-[1,3,4]-oxadiazines were obtained by stereospecific C-N/C-O bond formation in moderate to good yields (up to 93% yield) and high diastereo- (>20:1 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee). The catalytic cycle and stereochemical model were proposed by DFT calculation.

Enantioselective Catalytic Synthesis of Inherently Chiral Calixarenes.

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.

The absolute and relative configurations of bioactive chiral molecules are typically relevant to their biological properties. It is thus highly important and desirable to construct all possible stereoisomers of a lead candidate or a given bioactive natural compound. Synergistic dual catalysis has been recognized as a reliable synthetic strategy for a variety of predictable stereodivergent transformations.

The use of olefins in the construction of cyclic compounds represents a powerful strategy for advancing the pharmaceutical industry. Photocycloaddition has attracted significant interest from chemists due to its ability to exploit simple and readily available olefins along with their reaction patterns under mild conditions. Moreover, the sustainable and versatile pathways for generating highly reactive intermediates can greatly enrich both substrate diversity and reaction patterns.
