An efficient synthesis of S-allyl thioimidate hydrobromide salts via coupling of thioamides with allyl bromide derivatives is described. A range of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted olefins as well as alkyl- and arylthioamides with variations in electronics are tolerated. A rapid anti-diastereoselective halocyclization of these salts provides a variety of substituted alkyl- and arylthiazolines. Initial development of an efficient enantioselective synthesis of quaternary-substituted thiazolines through the organo-catalyzed halocyclization of sulfonate thioimidate salts is also described.

The Amaryllidaceae alkaloids have been a target of synthesis for decades due to their complex architectures and biological activity. A central feature of these natural product cores is a quaternary substituted hydroindole heterocycle. Building off the foundation of our previous multicomponent approach to highly functionalized pyrrolidinones, herein we report a highly convergent, diastereoselective, multicomponent approach to access the hydroindole cores present within crinine, haemanthamine, pretazettine, and various other bioactive alkaloids.

A scalable -selective synthesis of 2,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted pyrrolidines via cycloaddition of nitroalkenes and azomethine ylides is reported using a P,N-type ferrocenyl ligand and [Cu(OTf)]·CH. The robust method is tolerant of a wide range of functionalities, including rarely reported quaternary nitroalkene substitution and heteroaromatic and hindered -substituted arenes on the azomethine ylide. Subsequent transformations highlight the utility of the method in the synthesis of densely functionalized small molecules suitable for fragment-based drug discovery and the cystic fibrosis C2-corrector clinical candidate ABBV-3221.

We have developed a new method to prepare 4-acetoxy substituted 5(4)-oxazolones by direct oxidation of -benzoyl amino-acids using hypervalent iodine. The method is efficient, economical and easy to perform for the synthesis of quaternary substituted amino acid derivatives. We used online FTIR monitoring techniques to analyze the reaction, and gave a plausible reaction mechanism.

A new strategy for catalytic enantioselective C-acylation to generate α-quaternary-substituted lactams is reported. Ni-catalyzed three-component coupling of lactam enolates, benzonitriles, and aryl halides produces β-imino lactams that then afford β-keto lactams by acid hydrolysis. Use of a readily available Mandyphos-type ligand and addition of LiBr enable the construction of quaternary stereocenters on α-substituted lactams to form β-keto lactams in up to 94% ee.
