The regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of oxazolidinones via a Pd-catalyzed vicinal C-N/C-Cl bond-forming reaction from internal alkenes of allylic carbamates is reported. The oxazolidinones are obtained in yields of 44 to 95% with high to excellent diastereoselectivities (from 6 : 1 to >20 : 1 dr) from readily available precursors. This process is scalable, and the products are suitable for the synthesis of useful amino alcohols. A detailed theoretical and experimental mechanistic study was carried out to describe that the reaction proceeds through an anti-aminopalladation of the alkene followed by an oxidative C-Pd(ii) cleavage with retention of the carbon stereochemistry to yield the major diastereomer. The role of Cu(ii) in a C-Cl bond-forming mechanism step has also been proposed.

This work describes a chiral bifunctional squaramide/DBU sequential catalytic strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of nonfused chiral eight-membered O-heterocycles through the asymmetric addition of ynones to β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters followed by the regio- and diastereoselective cyclization of the adduct intermediates. Mechanistic experiments revealed that an isomerization process should be involved in the ring formation step, and the origin of the high regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity has also been elucidated by the DFT calculations.

Alantolactone and isoalantolactone are two isomeric sesquiterpene lactones that were isolated from Innula recemosa. Here, we are used for the semisynthesis of novel isoxazolidine hybrids of alantolactone and isoalantolactone through a two-step process: nitrone synthesis followed by nitrone 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The formation of the cycloadduct was well characterized via modern spectroscopic techniques such as HRMS, H NMR, C NMR, DEPT-90, DEPT-135, and 2D NMR.

A highly regio-, enantio- and diastereo-selective strategy involving initial enantioselective conjugate addition to 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles serves as a key step for the desymmetrization of 2,5-cyclohexadienones has been disclosed. We have designed a new class of 2,5-cyclohexadienones appended with 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles to undergo organocatalytic asymmetric double or triple conjugate addition in a domino sequence depending on the substrate type leading to desymmetrization of the 2,5-cyclohexadienone core. The developed protocol allows the construction of a valuable hydrophenanthrene core or a unique bridged scaffold bearing multiple chiral centers with excellent enantio- (up to >99.

This study presents the indium-mediated three-component radical Reformatsky-type allylation of --butanesulfinyl iminoester with 1,3-butadiene. This novel approach offers a rapid synthesis pathway to valuable homoallylic noncanonical amino acids, demonstrated with over 30 examples showing nice regio- and diastereoselectivity. Mechanism studies revealed that allylindium complexes served as key intermediates, formed through a single-electron reduction of allylic radicals by Indium species.

Herein, we unveiled a regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of cyclobutylated phenothiazines, a unique class of structural congeners of phenothiazines visible-light-irradiated intermolecular [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction, from readily available naphthoquinones, 2-aminothiophenols, and styrenes, either in a two-step or three-component coupling process. By varying substitutions in all three coupling partners, a library of cyclobutylated phenothiazines, including late-stage derivatization with five commercial drugs, has been realized with up to 97% isolated yield. In contrast to the reported pathways, the developed [2 + 2]-photocycloaddition seems to proceed a 'photoinduced-electron-transfer' (PET) mechanism, which is well corroborated with the experimental observations, Rehm-Weller equation, and computation studies.
