The potential of using chiral bicyclic NHC ligands that exhibit modularity was investigated in the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric borylation reaction of α,β-unsaturated esters. After screening for ligands and optimization of the reaction conditions, the corresponding products were afforded with good enantioselectivities (up to 85% ee).

Members of the genus are well known for their medicinal properties, which can be attributed to their essential oils. In this work, we have examined the leaf essential oils of five understudied species collected from various locations in western North America. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatographic methods, including enantioselective gas chromatography.

Phosphonic analogs of octahydroisoindole-1-carboxylic acids are bicyclic proline derivatives of interest in drug design and enzymatic mechanism studies. Here we report the stereoselective synthesis of the - and -fused octahydroisoindole system using oxazoloisoindolone lactam and 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride as advanced chiral precursors, respectively, yielding enantiopure octahydroisoindolone intermediates with the desired stereochemistry at the ring junction. Finally, using these intermediates, the target (1,3a,7a)- and (1,3a,7a)-octahydroisoindole-1-phosphonic acids and their enantiomers were obtained with complete stereocontrol via highly diastereoselective addition of trimethyl phosphite to chiral -acyliminium ions as the key step.

A modular approach was developed for the first catalytic asymmetric total syntheses of naturally occurring C 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.

Concise total syntheses of several 5/7/6 norcembranoids, including ineleganolide, scabrolide B, sinuscalide C, and fragilolide A have been achieved through a fragment coupling/ring closure approach. The central seven-membered ring was forged through sequential Mukaiyama-Michael/aldol reactions using norcarvone and a decorated bicyclic lactone incorporating a latent electrophile. Subsequent manipulations installed the reactive enedione motif and delivered scabrolide B in 11 steps from a chiral pool-derived enone.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a bicyclic non-psychoactive cannabinoid biosynthesized by Cannabis spp. of plants, has attracted significant interest in the past decade due to its therapeutic properties. In 2018, the US FDA approved Epidiolex®, a CBD-based drug for the treatment of two rare epileptic seizure disorders.
