An approach involving the use of a bifunctional aminocatalyst containing Brønsted base and iminium activation sites for asymmetric multicomponent reactions involving [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement has yet to be realized. Herein, we present an aminocatalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of α-phosphonyloxy enolates formed [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement to α,β-unsaturated ketones. The methodology unfolds a simple one-pot operation consisting of a robust additive-free catalytic system providing a series of oxindole derivatives having two contiguous stereocenters in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities.

Phosphorylated tyrosine is a fundamental building block of bioactive peptides and proteins. However, the chemoselective phosphorylation of tyrosine over other nucleophilic amino acid residues in unprotected peptides remains a significant challenge. Here we report an umpolung strategy that converts the C-terminal tyrosine into an electrophilic spirolactone cyclohexadienone motif through hypervalent iodine oxidation, followed by a 1,2-phospha-Brook rearrangement using phosphite diesters as nucleophilic phosphoryl donors.

A synthetic method of tertiary alcohols was developed based on the formal umpolung addition of aryl ketones with electrophiles utilizing the [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement under Brønsted base catalysis. The addition reaction of α-hydroxyphosphonates, derived from alkyl aryl- and diaryl ketones, with electrophiles such as phenyl vinyl sulfone, afforded phosphates having a tertiary alkyl group, which were readily convertible to the corresponding tertiary benzylic alcohols. This operationally simple protocol provides efficient complementary access to tertiary alcohols that are difficult to synthesize by conventional methods.

A highly diastereoselective, one-pot strategy for spirooxindoles bearing dihydrophenanthrenes from readily available isatins and -quinone methides (-QMs) has been disclosed. Here, a sequential umpolung process [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement followed by Lewis acid-mediated intramolecular cyclization was employed to furnish the desired spiro product. This protocol provides access to potential medicinally relevant varieties of spirooxindolyl dihydrophenanthrenes in good to excellent yields and diastereoselectivity (>20 : 1).

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted phenalenones from -quinone methides (-QMs) and acenaphthoquinone is described. The reaction involves P(NMe)-mediated [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement followed by Lewis acid-assisted 1,2-carbonyl migration to afford the 2,3-disubstituted phenalenones. The developed protocol tolerates a broad range of substrates to form a variety of phenalenones in good to excellent yields.
