A palladium-catalyzed enantioselective umpolung allylation reaction of amido-tethered allyl carbonates with -2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines has been realized herein. The reaction worked well under mild reaction conditions to give various chiral oxindole derivatives in moderate to excellent yields with high enantioselectivities. Notably, this work represents the first Pd-catalyzed asymmetric umpolung allylation reaction of -2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines.

α,β-Epoxy Ketone Rearrangements for the Practical Synthesis of Cephalotaxine and the Stereodivergent Synthesis of Azaspiro Allylic Alcohols.

We report herein that three facile rearrangements of epoxy ketones can be employed for the efficient and practical synthesis of cephalotaxine, the parent member of the family of alkaloids. The Meinwald rearrangement of epoxy ketone (90%) was used for the preparation of the dense functional groups in the cyclopentane ring of cephalotaxine. A novel acid-catalyzed umpolung S2' rearrangement and the Wharton transposition reaction of epoxy ketones were also developed to synthesize the Mori intermediate via the key azaspiro allylic alcohols in a stereodivergent manner.

Organocatalytic annulations between allenes and bisnucleophiles represent one of the most convenient routes to various carbocycles and heterocycles. However, most examples are limited to the formation of five- and six-membered rings, probably owing to relatively easy handling of short-chained biselectrophiles. Here we report long-chained α-allyl allenoate-derived 1,6-biselectrophiles for the first time, enabling a phosphine catalyzed [6 + 1] annulation with readily available 1,1-bisnucleophilic reagents.

The umpolung reaction by polarity inversion at the β-position of N-alkoxyenamines afforded α-alkyl-, α-aryl-, α-alkenyl-, and α-heteroarylketones by using aluminum reagent as nucleophiles. Furthermore, one-pot umpolung α-phenylation of ketones has been also developed.

A novel strategy that combines oxidative aminocatalysis and gold catalysis allows the preparation of chiral α-quaternary isochromanes, a motif that is prevalent in natural products and synthetic bioactive compounds. In the first step, α-branched aldehydes and propargylic alcohols are transformed into α-quaternary ethers with excellent optical purities (>90 % ee) via oxidative umpolung with DDQ and an amino acid-derived primary amine catalyst. Subsequent gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation affords the isochromane products with retention of the quaternary stereocenter.
