Dual photoredox and copper-catalyzed remote asymmetric C(sp)-H alkylation of hydroxamic acid derivatives with glycine derivatives via a 1,5-hydrogen transfer (1,5-HAT) process has been realized. The reaction was characterized by redox-neutral and mild conditions, good yields, excellent enantioselectivity, and broad substrate scope. This protocol provides a straightforward and efficient strategy to prepare highly valuable enantioenriched noncanonical α-amino acids.

Article Synopsis
  • The catalytic asymmetric transformation of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) is an important method for creating a variety of enantioenriched molecules, but using tetrasubstituted DACs to generate products with quaternary stereocenters has been a persistent challenge.
  • This study introduces a copper-catalyzed asymmetric aminative ring-opening process for tetrasubstituted alkynyl DACs that successfully produces a wide range of α-tertiary amines with high enantioselectivity.
  • The resulting products, which contain alkyne, amine, and ester groups, open up new possibilities for synthesizing bioactive molecules, with mechanism studies highlighting the significance of a zwitter

Skeletal editing represents an attractive strategy for adding complexity to a given molecular scaffold in chemical synthesis. Isodesmic reactions provide a complementary skeletal editing approach for the redistribution of chemical bonds in chemical synthesis. However, catalytic enantioselective isodesmic reaction is extremely scarce and enantioselective isodesmic reaction to synthesize atropisomeric compounds is unknown.

Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed enantioselective formal (3+3) and (3+2) cycloaddition reaction of isatin-derived tertiary propargylic esters with N,N-dimethylbarbituric acid and 4-hydroxycoumarins, respectively. In this process, the tertiary propargylic ester serves as both C3- and C2-synthons, facilitating the synthesis of optically active spirooxindole-pyran and furan scaffolds featuring an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter. The reaction delivers these spirocyclic frameworks in good yields with high enantioselectivities.

A copper catalyzed enantioselective formal aza-Diels-Alder reaction of formed 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes from α-halohydrazones and vinyl diazo compounds was described. The protocol provides a variety of optically enriched diazo-containing tetrahydropyridazines in moderate yields and with up to excellent enantioselectivities. The present methodologies utilize chiral oxazolines as the chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis and feature mild reaction conditions, readily available substrates, and broad substrate scope.
