The Cu(OTf) catalyzed Ugi-type reactions of ,-acetals with isocyanides have been described for the synthesis of pyrrolidinyl and piperidinyl 2-carboxamides. 4-Hydroxy-5-substituted-prolinamides can be obtained in high diastereoselectivities (2,4-/ > 19 : 1) and a stereoselective model was proposed for 2,4- selectivity. Moreover, 4-F-VH 032, a novel analog of the VHL ligand, was conveniently obtained by utilizing the present method.

A convenient protocol for synthesis of unsymmetrical 2-methylpyridines from acetyl ketones, ammonium salts and tertiary amines is described. The construction of two C-C bonds and two C-N bonds via [2 + 2 + 1 + 1] four-component domino cyclization reaction is achieved using Cu(OTf) as catalyst in one pot. This cyclization reaction shows good selectivity and produces multisubstituted 2-methylpyridine derivatives in good yields with various functional groups.

ConspectusAtropisomers bearing a rotation-restricted axis are common structural units in natural products, chiral ligands, and drugs; thus, the prevalence of asymmetric synthesis has increased in recent decades. Research into atropisomers featuring an N-containing axis (N-X atropisomers) remains in its infancy compared with the well-developed C-C atropisomer analogue. Notably, N-X atropisomers could offer divergent scaffolds, which are extremely important in bioactive molecules.

A Lewis acid-catalyzed electrophilic dearomatizative thiocyanation and cyclization of benzofurans with -thiocyanatosuccinimide has been accomplished by Lewis acid catalysis with CuOTf under mild conditions. It was suggested that the electrophilic thiocyanating reagent was activated by CuOTf, and difunctionalization was achieved through a thiocyanation/spirocyclization pathway. Thus, a series of thiocyanato-containing spiroketals were obtained in moderate to high yields.

Hydroxyamide-functionalized azolium salt (NHC•HI ) was evaluated for dual enantioselective control in a Cu-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA) reaction. This investigation was based on our previously reported ACA reaction catalyzed using CuOTf combined with NHC•AgI complex . It was revealed that the stereocontrol of the catalytic ACA reaction depended on the order of the addition of the substrates.

The sole method available for the photocycloaddition of unconjugated aliphatic alkenes is the Cu-catalyzed Salomon-Kochi reaction. The [Cu(OTf)] ⋅benzene catalyst that has been standard in this reaction for many decades, however, is air-sensitive, prone to photodecomposition, and poorly reactive towards sterically bulky alkene substrates. Using bench-stable precursors, an improved catalyst system with superior reactivity and photostability has been designed, and it offers significantly expanded substrate scope.
