An efficient FeCl(3)-catalyzed stereoselective intramolecular tandem 1,5-hydride transfer/ring closure reaction was developed. The method allows for the formation of structurally diverse spirooxindole tetrahydroquinolines in high yields (up to 98%) with good to excellent levels of diastereoselectivity (up to 99:1 dr). The catalytic enantioselective variant of this process was also investigated preliminarily with a chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acid.

An efficient method for the large-scale preparation of alpha-N-acetylglycosaminides, such as fluorogenic T(N)-antigen probes and an alpha-GalNAc-Ser derivative, has been achieved using FeCl(3)-catalyzed one-step condensation between commercially available D-glycosamine pentaacetates and fluorogenic acceptors (or serine acceptor) in refluxing 1,2-dichloroethane. Experimental simplicity, high alpha-stereoselectivity, low cost, satisfactory yield, and the environmentally benign nature are major advantages of our approach.

[reaction: see text] The aminochlorination of methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) 1 and vinylidenecyclopropanes (VCPs) has been explored with use of FeCl(3) (20 mol %) as a Lewis acid catalyst in acetonitrile under convenient mild conditions. The stereochemistry has been unambiguously confirmed by X-ray structural analysis. The aziridinium-based mechanism, accounting for both regio- and stereoselectivity, has been carefully studied.
