The theoretical-guided evaluation of the Steglich rearrangement of azlactones and isoxazolones allowed the determination of the reactivity patterns in these heterocycles, including the factors that drive the regioselectivity toward both possible sites. These results allowed the first experimental report on the regioselective Steglich rearrangement of isoxazolones, affording the nitrogen- or carbon-acyloxy adducts.

Enantioselective ion pair catalysis has gained significant attention due to its ability to exert selectivity control in various reactions. Achiral counterions have been found to play crucial roles in modulating reactivity and selectivity. The modular nature of an ion pair catalyst allows rapid alterations of the achiral counterion to achieve optimal outcomes, without the need to modify the more onerous chiral component.

An example of asymmetric Steglich-type rearrangement of enol lactones is reported. This highly enantioselective acyl transfer reaction is catalyzed by chiral isothiourea at ambient temperature and provides a useful synthetic approach to access enantioenriched spirotricyclic β,β'-diketones from a broad range of indanone or tetralone-derived lactones. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the initial formation of an -acylated iminium cation intermediate that induces a following facial selective condensation.

Asymmetric organocatalysis has been considered to be an efficient and reliable strategy for the stereoselective preparation of optically active chemicals. In particular, chiral tertiary amines as Lewis base organocatalysts bearing core structures including quinuclidine, dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), -methylimidazole (NMI), amidine, etc. have provided new and powerful tools for various chemical transformations.

Prostate cancer is fourth most abundant cancer type around the globe. Brevifoliol, a rearranged taxoid from Taxus walllichiana needles has been derivatized as C5 esters using Steglich esterification reaction. Seventeen diverse analogues were evaluated against a panel of human cancer cell lines by MTT assay.
