Pharmaceutically relevant methylene oxindoles are synthesized by a palladium(0)-catalyzed intramolecular chlorocarbamoylation reaction of alkynes. A relatively underexplored class of caged phosphine ligands is uniquely suited for this transformation, enabling high levels of reactivity and exquisite trans selectivity.

Divergent Synthesis of Multi-Substituted Aminotetralins via [4+2] Annulation of Aldimines with Alkenes by Rare-Earth-Catalyzed Benzylic C(sp )-H Activation.

The search for efficient and selective methods for the divergent synthesis of multi-substituted aminotetralins is of much interest and importance. We report herein for the first time the diastereoselective [4+2] annulation of 2-methyl aromatic aldimines with alkenes via benzylic C(sp )-H activation by half-sandwich rare-earth catalysts, which constitutes an efficient route for the divergent synthesis of both trans and cis diastereoisomers of multi-substituted 1-aminotetralin derivatives from readily accessible aldimines and alkenes. The use of a scandium catalyst bearing a sterically demanding cyclopentadienyl ligand such as C Me SiMe or C Me exclusively afforded the trans-selective annulation products in the reaction of aldimines with styrenes and aliphatic alkenes.

Conventional syntheses of 1,2-trans-β-d- or α-l-glycosidic linkages rely mainly on neighboring group participation in the glycosylation reactions. The requirement for a neighboring participation group (NPG) excludes direct glycosylation with (1→2)-linked glycan donors, thus only allowing stepwise assembly of glycans and glycoconjugates containing this type of common motif. Here, a robust glycosylation protocol for the synthesis of 1,2-trans-β-d- or α-l-glycosidic linkages without resorting to NPG is disclosed; it employs an optimal combination of glycosyl N-phenyltrifluroacetimidates as donors, FeCl as promoter, and CH Cl /nitrile as solvent.

A diastereo- and enantioselective total synthesis of diocollettines A with an unusual oxygen-containing tricyclic ring system has been achieved in 63% overall yield from commercially available 3-phenylpropanal via four steps. The key feature of the present synthesis is an exclusively diastereoselective cascade sequence composed of a -selective oxa-Michael addition of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone to a 2,3-dihydropyrylium ion intermediate, intramolecular aldol-type reaction, and intramolecular acetalization.

Treatment of various gem-difluorocyclopropenes with 1.2 equiv. of n-Bu3SnH in the presence of 20 mol% of Et3B at 80 °C for 4 h led to the quantitative formation of the hydrostannylated products in a highly regio- and trans-selective manner.
