Dihydrofuran cores are commonly incorporated into synthetically and pharmacologically significant scaffolds in natural product and drug discovery chemistry. Herein, we report a concise and practical strategy to construct spiro-dihydrofuran and amino dihydrofuran scaffolds as anti-vicinal amino alcohol isosteres. Hypervalent iodine (PhI(OAc)(NTs))-mediated C-H activation of alkynes resulted in two-bond formations with one pi bond cleavage: (i) C(sp)-N(sp) and O(sp)-C(sp); (ii) C(sp)-N(sp) and C(sp)-C(sp). The metal-free 5- oxidative cyclization provided versatile amino 2,3- and 2,5-dihydrofurans bearing the C quaternary carbon. The non-toxicity of all synthesised dihydrofurans was verified cell viability assay.

β-Amino acids are structural motifs widely found in therapeutic natural products, novel biomimetic polymers and peptidomimetics. As a convergent method, the synthesis of stereoenriched β-amino amides through the asymmetric Mannich reaction requires specialized amide substrates or a metal catalyst for enolate formation. By a redesign of the Ugi reaction, a conceptually different solution to prepare chiral β-amino amides was established using ambiphilic ynamides as two-carbon synthons.

Chiral 1,2-bimetallic reagents are useful motifs in synthetic chemistry. Although syn-1,2-bimetallic compounds can be prepared by alkene dimetallation, anti-1,2-bimetallics are still rare. The stereospecific 1,2-metallate shift that occurs during conjunctive cross-coupling is shown to enable a practical and modular approach to the catalytic synthesis of enantioenriched anti-1,2-borosilanes.

Two variations of the Overman rearrangement have been developed for the highly selective synthesis of anti-vicinal amino alcohol natural products. A MOM ether-directed palladium(II)-catalyzed rearrangement of an allylic trichloroacetimidate was used as the key step for the preparation of the protein kinase C inhibitor D-erythro-sphinganine and the antitumor agent (+)-spisulosine, whereas the Overman rearrangement of chiral allylic trichloroacetimidates generated by the asymmetric reduction of an α,β-unsaturated methyl ketone allowed rapid access both to D-ribo-phytosphingosine and L-arabino-phytosphingosine.

[see reaction]. The reaction of an alkoxyallenyl zinc reagent with benzyl imines derived from lactic and mandelic acids proceeds highly diastereoselectively and leads to 2-amino-1,3-diol derivatives with an anti-anti pattern.
