The importance and reactivity consequences of the double diastereocontrol in noncovalent bifunctional organocatalysis were studied. The results suggest that the bifunctional thioureas can have synthetic limitations in multicomponent domino or autotandem catalysis. Nevertheless, we provided a means to exploit this behavior and used the configuration of the chiral catalyst as a control element in organo-sequential reactions.

Asymmetric desymmetrization of 2,5-cyclohexadienones initiated by organocatalytic conjugate addition to 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles.

A highly regio-, enantio- and diastereo-selective strategy involving initial enantioselective conjugate addition to 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles serves as a key step for the desymmetrization of 2,5-cyclohexadienones has been disclosed. We have designed a new class of 2,5-cyclohexadienones appended with 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles to undergo organocatalytic asymmetric double or triple conjugate addition in a domino sequence depending on the substrate type leading to desymmetrization of the 2,5-cyclohexadienone core. The developed protocol allows the construction of a valuable hydrophenanthrene core or a unique bridged scaffold bearing multiple chiral centers with excellent enantio- (up to >99.

Radical addition to chiral -acylhydrazones has generated unusual amino acids tubuphenylalanine (Tup) and tubuvaline (Tuv) that are structural components of the tubulysin family of picomolar antimitotic agents and previously led to a tubulysin tetrapeptide analog with a C-terminal alcohol. To improve efficiency in this synthetic route to tubulysins, and to address difficulties in oxidation of the C-terminal alcohol, here we present two alternative routes to Tuv that (a) improve step economy, (b) provide modified conditions for Mn-mediated radical addition in the presence of aromatic heterocycles, and (c) expose an example of double diastereocontrol in radical addition to a β-benzyloxyhydrazone with broader implications for asymmetric amine synthesis via radical addition. An efficient coupling sequence affords 11--benzyltubulysin V benzyl ester.

A new methodology to access the quinolizidine skeleton in an asymmetric fashion was devised. It involves two consecutive intramolecular aza-Michael reactions of sulfinyl amines bearing a bis-enone moiety, in turn generated by a monodirectional cross metathesis reaction. The sequence, which takes place with excellent yields and diastereocontrol, was applied to the total synthesis of alkaloids lasubine I and myrtine.

We describe here the diastereocontrolled formal racemic syntheses of tricyclic marine alkaloids, lepadiformines A, B, and C as well as their C2 epimers, featuring divergent and stereoselective syntheses of the -acetyl-8a-cyanodecahydroquinoline frameworks and the base-mediated intramolecular cyclization to establish the spiral quaternary center of the tricyclic framework from sterically well-defined α-aminonitrile . The approach allows us to accomplish the tricyclic core structure efficiently from readily available starting materials through simple operations. An unexpected pair of consecutive epimerizations at two contiguous stereocenters is observed on the basis of single-crystal X-ray analyses of the intermediates and derivatives.

Natural products containing bridged ring systems are widely identified and show significant biological activity. The development of efficient synthesis reactions and strategies to construct bridged ring systems is a long-standing but very significant challenge in organic chemistry. In 2014, our group developed a unique type II [5 + 2] cycloaddition reaction that provides a facile and direct methodology for constructing highly functionalized bridged bicyclo[4.
