A novel, divergent strategy toward the synthesis of β-branched (and linear) carbonyl compounds is developed by taking advantage of alkylidene isoxazol-5-ones as key building blocks. The yields obtained range from good to excellent, therefore making the described methods attractive options for building such molecules.

An Aminocatalyzed Michael Addition/Iron-Mediated Decarboxylative Cyclization Sequence for the Preparation of 2,3,4,6-Tetrasubstituted Pyridines: Scope and Mechanistic Insights.

A novel, scalable strategy for the preparation of 2,3,4,6-tetrasubstituted pyridines is described. This protocol has two steps: an aminocatalyzed addition of ketones to alkylidene isoxazol-5-ones, followed by an iron-mediated decarboxylative cyclization event. Mechanistic insights for both steps are provided based on HRMS-ESI(+) studies.

A two-step reaction sequence is described for the asymmetric formal α-propargylation of ketones. This approach takes advantage of an aminocatalyzed conjugate addition of ketones to alkylidene isoxazol-5-ones, followed by a controlled nitrosative degradation event. The target compounds can be accessed in broad scope, in moderate to good yields, perfect diastereocontrol and good to excellent enantioselectivity.
