Reaction of an isoquinoline, a silyloxyfuran, and an acyl or sulfonyl chloride provides easy access to a wide variety of isoquinolinobutyrolactones with excellent yields and diastereoselectivites (R*,R* isomer), even in the case of formation of quaternary centers (i.e., R(3) or R(4) = Me). Moreover, the use of a chiral auxiliary allowed formation of a single stereoisomer in 96% yield. This represents the first examples of asymmetric vinylogous Mannich reactions on isoquinolinium salts.

The functionalized polycycle with densely contiguous tertiary stereocenters is a formidable challenge in synthesizing the parvistemoline family of Stemona alkaloids. We herein report their catalytic, asymmetric total syntheses in 13-14 steps from commercially available 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-pyrrole, featuring the development and deployment of an Ir/Pd-synergistically-catalyzed allylation of α-non-substituted keto esters with secondary aryl-substituted alcohols, stereodivergently accessible to four stereoisomers. Using chiral Pd-enolate and Ir π-allyl complex under neutral conditions, no epimerization occurs.

Article Synopsis
- A new and highly effective vinylogous Mannich reaction has been developed, which combines benzothiazolimines with γ-butenolides, using a quinine-based squaramide as a catalyst.
- This reaction yields chiral benzothiazole amines that have a unique γ,γ-disubstituted butanolide structure, achieving high yields (up to 91%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (over >20:1 dr).
- The resulting compounds could pave the way for the creation of new pharmaceutical drugs due to their complex stereochemical framework.

The first enantioselective vinylogous Mannich reaction is developed using 2-methoxyfuran under chiral spirophosphoric acid catalysis. The strategy involves 4-isoxazoline derivatives as cyclic ketimine surrogates and provides γ-butenolide scaffolds (up to 97% ee and >20:1 dr). The mechanistic investigations suggest that an generated water molecule plays a crucial role in delivering γ-butenolide, while the use of molecular sieves delivers -Friedel-Crafts products.

A stereoselective synthesis of the DEF-ring spirocyclic core of cyclopamine was accomplished using commercially available materials. The key steps in the synthesis were (i) the enantioselective vinylogous Mannich reaction, followed by lactamization to generate the piperidine F ring, and (ii) intramolecular oxidative dearomative spiroetherification to construct the DEF-ring spirocyclic core of cyclopamine. We found that the stereochemistry of the spirocyclization was controlled by the configuration of the methyl group (C-20) in the substrate.
