We report a general approach to highly functionalized ()-allylic amines by decarboxylative allylation of vinyloxazolidin-2-ones. This process engages sodium sulfinates as nucleophiles to form a new carbon-sulfur bond, utilizing a palladium catalyst generated from Pd(OAc) and diphosphine ligand dpppe. The scope of the protocol is illustrated by the synthesis of 30 representative allylic amines with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies show that the -selectivity of the reaction stems from the formation of a palladacycle intermediate through Pd-N chelation. The synthetic utility of this method was further exemplified by the gram-scale synthesis and subsequent transformations to various compounds.

The algal macrolide goniodomin A (GDA) undergoes ring-cleavage under unusually mild, alkaline conditions to form mixtures of stereoisomers of seco acids GDA-sa and iso-GDA-sa. In the primary fragmentation pathway, opening of the macrolide ring occurs by displacement of the carboxyl group by a base-catalyzed attack of the C32 hemiketal hydroxy group on C31, yielding an oxirane-carboxylic acid, named goniodomic acid. The oxirane ring is unstable, undergoing solvolytic opening to form mainly GDA-sa.

We developed a novel, metal-free catalytic system for synthesizing a broad range of itaconates using α-ketoacids and allylic acetate. This method, leveraging phosphine and Mes-Acr(BF) catalysts, has proven versatile, enabling the efficient itaconation of peptides, the synthesis of bioactive itaconates, and the preparation of an itaconate-based bio-orthogonal probe.

Optically active spirocycles were prepared in a sequence of two palladium-catalyzed reactions. In the first step, racemic α-(-iodophenyl)-β-oxo allyl esters were submitted to the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction, furnishing the α-allylated products with a quaternary stereocenter with good yields and enantioselectivities. Subsequently, these intermediate products were converted in a Heck reaction yielding the spirocyclic structures as a mixture of - and -cyclic regioisomers.

Euphorbialoid A () belongs to the rare diterpenoid family of premyrsinanes and exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects. The 5/7/6/3-membered carbocycle (ABCD-ring) of contains 11 contiguous stereocenters and seven oxygen-containing functional groups. Moreover, four of the six hydroxy groups of are concentrated in the southern sector and flanked by four structurally different acyl groups.

Highly regioselective tungsten (W)-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic amination of allylic carbamates has been developed. Allylic carbamates can be generated from readily available allylic alcohols and commercially available isocyanates. In the presence of a tungsten catalyst, branched allylic amines could be obtained in moderate to good yields with excellent regioselectivities (b/l > 20 : 1), and CO is the only byproduct.
