Main-chain polymers of chiral imidazolidinone were successfully synthesized by reaction of chiral imidazolidinone dimers with disulfonic acid. Chiral imidazolidinones were incorporated into the main-chain of the polymer by ionic bonding. These polymers could be used as polymeric chiral organocatalysts for asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions.

One-Pot Synthesis of Chiral -Imidazolidinone Cyclohexenones.

We have developed a simple and straightforward synthesis of chiral -imidazolidinone cyclohexenones, featuring six contiguous stereocenters, from feedstock chemicals such as aminophenols, α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, and α-amino acids. Remarkably, this one-pot multicomponent reaction exhibits exceptional diastereoselectivity (>20:1 dr) and relies solely on an amino acid precursor as the chiral source, avoiding the use of transition metals or additional organocatalysts. This reaction is efficient and scalable, enabling synthesis on a gram-scale.

Furthermore, a chiral pinene-derived pyridyl triazole ligand enables a highly diastereoselective synthesis of a non-racemic chiral iron catalyst, thereby controlling the absolute configuration at the metal center, as confirmed by NMR and X-ray crystallography. This pinene-modified stereogenic-at-iron MIC complex demonstrates high catalytic activity and a respectable asymmetric induction in the ring-closing C(sp)-H amination of -benzoyloxyurea, yielding 2-imidazolidinones with enantiomeric ratios of up to 92 : 8.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have undergone extensive research as heterogeneous catalysts for a wide range of significant reactions, but they have not yet been investigated in the realm of electrochemical asymmetric catalysis, despite their recognition as an economical and sustainable strategy for producing enantiopure compounds. Here, we report a mixed-linker strategy to design multicomponent two-dimensional (2D) chiral COFs with tunable layer stacking for highly enantioselective electrocatalysis. By crystallizing mixtures of triamines with and without the MacMillan imidazolidinone catalyst or aryl substituent (ethyl and isopropyl) and a dialdehyde derivative of thieno-[3,2-]thiophene, we synthesized and structurally characterized a series of three-component homochiral 2D COFs featuring either AA or ABC stacking.

An EtN-catalyzed cascade [3 + 2]-annulation of β-oxo-acrylamides with cyclic -sulfonyl ketimines or sulfamate-derived imines is developed under mild reaction conditions, which provides a concise and efficient route to access valuable sultam- or sulfamidate-fused imidazolidinone derivatives in good to excellent yields (80-95% yields) with excellent diastereoselectivities (>20:1 drs). The current protocol features atom economy, a transition-metal-free process, and broad functional group tolerance. Moreover, the asymmetric variant of the [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction was achieved in the presence of diphenylethanediamine or quinine-based bifunctional squaramide organocatalysts and , giving the corresponding chiral polycyclic imidazolidinones in 68-90% yields with 25-94% ees and >20:1 drs in all cases.

Chirality correction, asymmetry, ring-chain tautomerism and hierarchical assemblies are fundamental phenomena in nature. They are geometrically related and may impact the biological roles of a protein or other supermolecules. It is challenging to study those behaviors within an artificial system due to the complexity of displaying these features.
