Acylation of nitronates affords α-acyloxyoxime derivatives via an umpolung functionalization of the α-position. This transformation involves generation of hitherto unknown N-acyloxy, N-oxyenamines and their fast [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement driven by the cleavage of the weak N-O bond. The reaction has a broad scope, and it is regioselective in the case of nitronates possessing nonsymmetrically substituted α-positions. Application to the formal total synthesis of clausenamide and cis-clausenamide is presented.

The syntheses of novel 1-acyloxyindole compounds and the investigations on reaction pathways are presented. Nitro ketoester substrate , obtained in a two-step synthetic process, underwent reduction, intramolecular addition, nucleophilic 1,5-addition, and acylation to afford 1-acyloxyindoles in one pot. Based on the systematic studies, we established the optimized reaction conditions for focusing on the final acylation step of the intermediate 1-hydroxyindole .

Article Synopsis
  • * A key part of this process involves creating a type of chemical structure called 1,2-oxazine, which was done using a combination of other chemicals.
  • * Interesting calculations suggest that a change in the chemical structure (epimerization) happens through a unique and complex chemical formation involving several parts of the molecule working together.

The importance of 1,5-O⋅⋅⋅chalcogen (Ch) interactions in isochalcogenourea catalysis (Ch=O, S, Se) is investigated. Conformational analyses of N-acyl isochalcogenouronium species and comparison with kinetic data demonstrate the significance of 1,5-O⋅⋅⋅Ch interactions in enantioselective catalysis. Importantly, the selenium analogue demonstrates enhanced rate and selectivity profiles across a range of reaction processes including nitronate conjugate addition and formal [4+2] cycloadditions.
