A 2328-membered library of 2,3,4-trisubstituted tetrahydroquinolines was produced using a combination of solution- and solid-phase synthesis techniques. A tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) scaffold was prepared via an asymmetric Povarov reaction using cooperative catalysis to generate three contiguous stereogenic centers. A matrix of 4 stereoisomers of the THQ scaffold was prepared to enable the development of stereo/structure-activity relationships (SSAR) upon biological testing. A sparse matrix design strategy was employed to select library members to be synthesized with the goal of generating a diverse collection of tetrahydroquinolines with physicochemical properties suitable for downstream discovery.

Three novel azatwistarenes , , and have been synthesized via the Povarov reaction and fully characterized. All of the enantiomers were separated using chiral high-performance liquid chromatography, and their optical properties were investigated through circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence spectra. In addition, such desired azatwistarenes have a positive response to acid in dichloromethane.

Article Synopsis
  • Our research introduces a new method for creating 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines using a chiral phosphoric acid in a three-component Povarov reaction.
  • This process makes use of phenolic dienes as dienophiles and yields a variety of 2,3,4-trisubstituted tetrahydroquinolines.
  • The resulting compounds have a styryl group at position 4 and are produced in high yields with impressive selectivity measures, including regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities greater than 95:5 dr and up to 99% ee.

Article Synopsis
  • Axially chiral diaryl ethers are a special type of compound important in natural products and pharmaceuticals but are difficult to synthesize due to their complex structure.
  • The research introduces a new method that uses an organocatalyzed asymmetric Povarov reaction to efficiently create these compounds while achieving high yields and enantioselectivities.
  • The findings reveal that even simpler diaryl ether atropisomers can maintain stable configurations, suggesting a reevaluation of previous assumptions in the field and highlighting the potential for further applications of these compounds.

Inherently chiral calix[4]arenes represent a unique type of chiral molecules with significant applications, yet their catalytic enantioselective synthesis remains largely underexplored. We report herein the catalytic enantioselective synthesis of inherently chiral calix[4]arenes through the sequential organocatalyzed enantioselective Povarov reaction and aromatizations. The chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed three-component Povarov reaction involving amino group-substituted calix[4]arenes, aldehydes and (di)enamides desymmetrized the prochiral calix[4]arene substrates, which was followed by various aromatization methods, resulting in a diverse array of novel quinoline-containing calix[4]arenes with good yields and high enantioselectivities (up to 75 % yield, 99 % ee).

Heterohelicenes are of increasing importance in the fields of materials science, molecular recognition, and asymmetric catalysis. However, enantioselective construction of these molecules, especially by organocatalytic methods, is challenging, and few methods are available. In this study, we synthesize enantioenriched 1-(3-indol)-quino[n]helicenes through chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed Povarov reaction followed by oxidative aromatization.
