A facile chiral phosphoric-acid catalyzed asymmetric inverse-electron-demand aza-Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3-diazadienes with 3-vinylindoles was established. By using this mild and practical protocol, a broad range of benzothiazolopyrimidines with three contiguous stereogenic centers were prepared in good yields and excellent diastereo- and enantio-selectivities (43 examples, up to 83% yield, >99% ee and all >20 : 1 dr). A plausible concerted reaction pathway enabled by the dual hydrogen-bonding effect was proposed to account for the observed excellent enantioselectivity and specific - diastereoselectivity.

Asymmetric cycloaddition is a straightforward strategy which enables the synthesis of structurally distinct cyclic derivatives which are difficult to access by other methodologies, using an efficient and atom-economical path from simple precursors. In recent years several asymmetric catalytic cyclization strategies have been accomplished for the construction of -heterocycles using various catalytic systems such as chiral metal catalysts, chiral Lewis acids or chiral organocatalysts. This review presents an overview of the recent advances in enantioselective cyclization reactions of 1-azadienes catalyzed by non-covalent organocatalysts.

Catalytic Asymmetric Cycloaddition of Olefins with In Situ Generated -Boc-Formaldimine.

Chiral 1,3-amino alcohols are ubiquitous structural motifs in natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. We present a highly enantioselective, inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of olefins with in situ generated -Boc-formaldimine catalyzed by strong and confined Bro̷nsted acids. This transformation provides direct access to valuable 1,3-amino alcohols from styrenes and 1,1-disubtituted alkenes.

The asymmetric catalytic inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of dioxopyrrolidines with a variety of simple olefins has been accomplished, significantly expanding the applicability of this cyclization to both cyclic hetero-dienes and dienophiles. A new type of strong Lewis acid catalyst of ferric salt enables the LUMO activation of dioxopyrrolidines formation of cationic species, this method yields a range of bicyclic dihydropyran derivatives with exceptional outcomes, including high yields (up to 99%), diastereoselectivity (up to 99 : 1) and enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) under mild conditions. This facile protocol was available for the late-stage modification of several bioactive molecules and transformation into macrocycle molecules as well.

Enantioselective and collective total synthesis of pentacyclic 19--clerodanes.

We report herein the collective asymmetric total synthesis of seven pentacyclic 19--clerodane diterpenoids, namely (+)-teucvin (+)-cracroson A, (+)-cracroson E, (+)-montanin A, (+)-teucvisin C, (+)-teucrin A, and (+)-2-hydroxyteuscorolide. An ytterbium-catalyzed asymmetric inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction of 4-methyl-2-pyrone with a chiral C5-substituted cyclohexa-1,3-dienol silyl ether is the key feature of the synthesis, which provides the common -decalin intermediate with five continuous stereocenters in excellent yield and stereoselectivity. From this diversifiable intermediate, the total synthesis of (+)-teucvin and (+)-2-hydroxyteuscorolide was realized in thirteen and eighteen steps, respectively.

Novel asymmetric aminocatalytic cycloadditions are described between formyl cycloheptatrienes and 6,6-dimethylfulvene that lead to [4 + 2], [6 + 2], and [4 + 6] cycloadducts. The unprecedented reaction course is dependent on the position of the formyl functionality in the cycloheptatriene core, and each formyl cycloheptatriene isomer displays a distinct reactivity pattern. The formyl cycloheptatriene isomers are activated by a chiral primary diamine catalyst, and the activation mode is dependent on the position of the formyl functionality relative to the cycloheptatriene core.
