Article Abstract

The differentiation of two nucleophilic amide groups in malonamides through a copper-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular aryl C-N coupling reaction is demonstrated based on an asymmetric desymmetrization strategy. Such a method afforded enantioenriched 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-3-carboxamides in high yields and moderate to good enantioselectivity.

Dual photoredox and copper-catalyzed remote asymmetric C(sp)-H alkylation of hydroxamic acid derivatives with glycine derivatives via a 1,5-hydrogen transfer (1,5-HAT) process has been realized. The reaction was characterized by redox-neutral and mild conditions, good yields, excellent enantioselectivity, and broad substrate scope. This protocol provides a straightforward and efficient strategy to prepare highly valuable enantioenriched noncanonical α-amino acids.

Skeletal editing represents an attractive strategy for adding complexity to a given molecular scaffold in chemical synthesis. Isodesmic reactions provide a complementary skeletal editing approach for the redistribution of chemical bonds in chemical synthesis. However, catalytic enantioselective isodesmic reaction is extremely scarce and enantioselective isodesmic reaction to synthesize atropisomeric compounds is unknown.
