Published: July 2016

The N,O-diacylhydroxylamine derivative 4 has been prepared and its reactivity with nucleophiles investigated. On reaction with lithium enolates of cyclic or acyclic ketones, 4 is converted stereoselectively to the corresponding alkylidene phthalide. The stereochemical outcome of the transformation can be modified by changing the polarity of the reaction medium and the products isomerized under acidic conditions.

Palladium-Catalyzed Stereospecific Glycosylation Enables Divergent Synthesis of N-O-Linked Glycosides.

Org Lett

We present a versatile palladium-catalyzed glycosylation platform that enables facile access to structurally diverse N-O-linked glycosides with constantly excellent regio- and stereoselectivities. Importantly, this approach offers a broad substrate scope, low catalyst loadings, and outstanding chemoselectivity, allowing for the selective reaction of oximes/hydroximic acids over hydroxyl groups that would otherwise pose challenges in conventional glycosylation methods. The synthetic utility of this method is further exemplified through a range of synthetic transformations and late-stage modification of bioactive molecules.

A modular approach was developed for the first catalytic asymmetric total syntheses of naturally occurring C30 terpene quinone methides and their non-natural stereoisomers, which feature the presence of an unprecedented spiro[4.4]nonane-containing 6-6-6-5-5-3 hexacyclic skeleton. Resting on a chiral phosphinamide-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of 2,2-disubstituted cyclohexane-1,3-dione, a concise route for the synthesis of enantioenriched 6-6 bicyclic fragment was developed.

Ferric Chloride Mediated Dearomative Spirocyclization of Biaryl Ynones: Synthesis of 3,3-Spiroindanones.

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, 781039, Guwahati, INDIA.

Ferric chloride mediated dearomative spirocyclization of biaryl ynones for the synthesis of new series of densely functionalized 3,3-spiroindanone derivatives has been reported. This study is the first to describe the regioselective synthesis of a five-membered ring from biaryl ynones. The scope of the reaction is broad and the spirocyclic products were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 87%) and with high stereoselectivities.

Interrupting Associative π-σ-π Isomerization Enables -Retentive Asymmetric Tsuji-Trost Reaction.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

New Cornerstone Science Laboratory, State Key Laboratory of Organometallic Chemistry, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 345 Lingling Lu, Shanghai 200032, China.

The asymmetric Tsuji-Trost reaction has been extensively studied due to its importance in establishing stereogenic centers, often adjacent to an -olefin moiety in organic molecules. The generally preferential formation of chiral -olefin products is believed to result from the thermodynamically more stable -π-allylpalladium intermediate. The rapid associative π-σ-π isomerization makes it challenging to synthesize chiral -olefin products via the transient -π-allylpalladium intermediate.

Chiral heterocyclic alcohols and amines are frequently used building blocks in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Herein, we report a one-pot photoenzymatic synthesis route for -Boc-3-amino/hydroxy-pyrrolidine and -Boc-4-amino/hydroxy-azepane with up to 90% conversions and >99% enantiomeric excess. The transformation combines a photochemical oxyfunctionalization favored for distal C-H positions with a stereoselective enzymatic transamination or carbonyl reduction step.
