The endoperoxide scaffold is found in numerous natural products and synthetic substances of pharmaceutical interest. The main challenge to their synthetic access remains the preparation of chiral compounds due to the weakness of the peroxide bond, which limits the scope of available or applicable methods. Here, we demonstrate how peroxycarbenium species can be trapped by silylated nucleophiles with high enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities when applicable, using a chiral imidophosphorimidate (IDPi) as a catalyst.

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.

An efficient and concise synthesis of highly functionalized bridged coumarins has been developed through a diastereoselective double Michael addition reaction of p-quinols with various 4-hydroxy coumarins under catalyst-free conditions in HO-DMSO (8 : 2). The method has been applied to oxindoles for the synthesis of a variety of bridged-oxindoles and bridged-spiroxindoles in presence of a DABCO base using HO-EtOH (8 : 2) as solvent medium. The strategy is simple, highly atom economical as there is no by-product and environmentally benign (E-factor=0.

We envisioned a novel asymmetric strategy to access unsymmetrically substituted dimeric 2-oxindoles [(,)- and (,)-] for the total synthesis of calycanthidine (). The key to success is the development of efficient Pd(0)-catalyzed asymmetric sequential allylations [via a highly enantioselective [up to 94% enantiomeric excess (ee)] and diastereoselective (up to ∼13:1) process] of unsymmetrically protected dimeric 2-oxindoles at the 3,3' position [such as (,)- and (,)-]. Gratifyingly, a mixture of bis-ester (±)-, ester-carbonates (±)- and (±)-, and bis-carbonate could afford (,)- and (,)- in highly stereoselective fashion, thereby culminating in the total synthesis of (+)-calycanthidine [-()] and (-)-calycanthidine ().

The concise and efficient total synthesis of (±)-tetraponerine-2 () and (±)-tetraponerine-4 () was achieved in 9% and 14% overall yield, respectively. The key step included the diastereoselective gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrative amination of an allylic alcohol-tethered sulfamide to produce the 1,3-diamine moiety. The resulting olefinic side chain was then elaborated by cross-metathesis and cyclized to a five-membered pyrrolidine or a six-membered piperidine ring by intramolecular Mitsunobu -alkylation.
