A method for synthesizing chiral oxazolidinone scaffolds from readily available oxabicyclic alkenes is described. The reaction utilizes a domino sequence of Rh(I)-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening (ARO) with sodium cyanate as a novel nucleophile followed by intramolecular cyclization to generate oxazolidinone products in excellent enantioselectivities (trans stereochemistry).

The preparation of a focused library of chiral 2-amido and 2-amido-1-phenyl-1,3-dienes from a range of chiral oxazolidinones using palladium-catalysis is reported. This palladium-catalyzed carbon-nitrogen bond-forming reaction provides the corresponding chiral amido-dienes in moderate to excellent yields (12 examples, up to 97%). The resulting chiral amido-dienes are employed as novel dienes in Diels-Alder (DA) reactions (58 examples, up to 93:7 dr, up to 70% yield).

An operationally simple method for generating enantioenriched 2-oxazolidinones from -Boc amines and mono- or disubstituted alkenes via chiral organoselenium catalysis is described. Critical to the success of the transformation was the inclusion of triisopropylsilyl chloride (TIPSCl), likely because it sequestered fluoride generated by the oxidant (-fluorocollidinium tetrafluoroborate) throughout the reaction and suppressed side reactivity. The scope of both the amine and alkene substrates was explored, generating a variety of 2-oxazolidinones in modest to high yields with high enantioselectivities.

The observation of thioester-mediated acyl transfer processes in nature has inspired the development of novel protein synthesis and functionalization methodologies. The chemoselective transfer of an acyl group from -to- is the basis of several powerful ligation strategies. In this work, we sought to apply the reverse process, the transfer of an acyl group from -to-, as a method to convert stable chiral amides into more reactive thioesters.

The introduction of nitrogen-containing functional groups to chiral polymer backbones enables the tailoring of physical properties and offers opportunities for further post-polymerization modification. However, the substrate scope of such polymers is extremely limited because monomers having nitrogen-containing groups can change coordination state with respect to the metal centers, thus decreasing the activity and enantioselectivity and even poisoning the catalyst completely. In this paper, we report our attempts to carry out the asymmetric copolymerization of meso-epoxide with highly reactive isocyanates.
