- Visible-light-promoted radical alkylation/cyclization of allylic amide with N-hydroxyphthalimide ester: Synthesis of oxazolines
-
An efficient photocatalytic alkylation/cyclization of allylic amide with N-hydroxyphthalimide ester has been developed. The transformation is taken advantage of alkyl radicals to attack allylic amide with the assist of inexpensive rose bengal as photocatalyst to prepare a series of alkyl substituted oxazolines in moderate to excellent yields. High regioselectivity, operational safety, mild conditions and excellent substrate generality give this protocol broad application prospects.

- Iridium-Catalyzed C(sp3)?H Addition of Methyl Ethers across Intramolecular Carbon–Carbon Double Bonds Giving 2,3-Dihydrobenzofurans
-
Intramolecular addition of an O-methyl C(sp3)?H bond across a carbon-carbon double bond occurs in the iridium-catalyzed reaction of methyl 2-(propen-2-yl)phenyl ethers. The Ir/(S)-DTBM-SEGPHOS catalyst promotes the reaction efficiently in toluene at 110–135 °C to afford 3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans. Enantioselective C(sp3)?H addition is achieved in the reaction of methyl 2-(1-siloxyethenyl)phenyl ethers, affording enantioenriched 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran derivatives with up to 96% ee.

- Highly Enantioselective Iridium-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of 2-Aryl Allyl Phthalimides
-
The iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-aryl allyl phthalimides to afford enantioenriched β-aryl-β-methyl amines is presented. Recently developed Ir-MaxPHOX catalysts are used for this enantioselective transformation. The mild reaction conditions and the feasible removal of the phthalimido group makes this catalytic method easily scalable and of great interest to afford chiral amines. The importance of this new methodology is exemplified by the formal synthesis of (R)-Lorcaserin, OTS514, and enantiomerically enriched 3-methyl indolines.

- Iridium-Catalyzed Isomerization of N-Sulfonyl Aziridines to Allyl Amines
-
The Crabtree's reagent catalyzes the isomerization of N-sulfonyl 2,2-disubstituted aziridines to allyl amines. The selectivity of allyl amine vs imine is very high (up to 99/1). The unprecedented isomerization takes place in mild conditions without activation of the catalyst by hydrogen. The mechanism has been studied computationally by DFT calculations; instead of the usual hydrogenation of COD, the catalytic species is formed by a loss of the pyridine ligand. Approaching of aziridine to this unsaturated species leads to a carbocation intermediate through a low energy barrier. A metal-mediated tautomerization involving sequentially γ-H elimination and N-H reductive elimination affords selectively the allyl amine. The readiness of the CγH bond to participate in the H elimination step accounts for the selectivity toward the allyl amine product.

- Water-Enabled Catalytic Asymmetric Michael Reactions of Unreactive Nitroalkenes: One-Pot Synthesis of Chiral GABA-Analogs with All-Carbon Quaternary Stereogenic Centers
-
Water enables new catalytic reactions for otherwise unreactive substrate systems. Under the “on water” reaction conditions, extremely unreactive β,β-disubstituted nitroalkenes smoothly underwent enantioselective Michael addition reactions with dithiomalonates using a chiral squaramide catalyst, affording both enantiomers of highly enantioenriched Michael adducts with all-carbon-substituted quaternary centers. The developed “on water” protocol was successfully applied for the scalable one-pot syntheses of chiral GABA analogs with all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers at the β-position, which might show highly interesting pharmaceutical properties.

- Substrate Scope Evaluation of the Enantioselective Reduction of β-Alkyl-β-arylnitroalkenes by Old Yellow Enzymes 1-3 for Organic Synthesis Applications
-
The substrate scope of the old yellow enzyme catalyzed reduction of β-alkyl-β-arylnitroalkenes is investigated. Compounds bearing either alkyl chains of increasing length at the carbon atom in position β to the nitro group or different substituents on the aromatic ring are prepared and submitted to bioreduction, to define the synthetic potential of this enantioselective reaction in the preparation of chiral fine chemicals. The versatility of the resulting nitroalkanes as chiral building blocks is shown by reducing the nitro group into a primary amine and by converting it into a carboxylic acid moiety by Meyer reaction. An "explosion" of chiral products can be observed by combining the highly enantioselective ene-reductase-mediated reduction of nitroalkenes with the chemical versatility of the nitro group.

- OH-directed alkynylation of 2-vinylphenols with ethynyl benziodoxolones: A fast access to terminal 1,3-enynes
-
The first direct alkynylation of 2-vinylphenols was developed. The rationally optimized hypervalent iodine reagent TIPS-EBX in combination with [(CpRhCl2)2] as a C-H-activating transition metal catalyst enables the construction of a variety of highly substituted 1,3-enynes in high yields of up to 98 %. This novel C-H activation method shows excellent chemoselectivity and exclusive (Z)-stereoselectivity, and it is also remarkably mild and tolerates a variety of functional groups. Furthermore, synthetic modifications of the resulting 1,3-enynes were demonstrated. To our knowledge, this is the first example for an OH-directed C-H alkynylation with hypervalent iodine reagents.

- ortho-Effect on the acid-catalyzed hydration of 2-substituted α-methylstyrenes
-
α-Methylstyrene and nine ortho-substituted analogs have been synthesized and the kinetics of their acid-catalyzed hydration in aqueous solutions of sulfuric acid at 25°C have been investigated. The kinetic acidity function HS has been constructed from the dependence of the observed rate constants kobs on the sulfuric acid concentration. The catalytic rate constants of the acid-catalyzed hydration kortho have been calculated as well. The identical shape of the kinetic acidity functions for ortho- and para-derivatives confirms what the consistent mechanism A-SE2 of the acid-catalyzed hydration has already proved for the corresponding paraderivatives. The A-SE2 mechanism involves a rate-determining proton transfer of the hydrated proton to the substrate. From the dependence of the catalytic rate constants of the ortho-derivatives on the catalytic rate constants of the para-derivatives, it is seen that the logarithm of the catalytic rate constant for hydrogen as a substituent is markedly out of the range of the other substituents and, simultaneously, that the ortho-derivatives react significantly slower than the corresponding para-derivatives. In correlation with the substitent constants σp+, a reaction constant of ρ+= -1.45 have been found. The constant is, in absolute value, considerably smaller than that for para-derivatives (ρ+ = -3.07). In parallel, the steric effects are enforced more significantly for the monoatomic substituents (slope of the Charton's constants 3.92) than for substituents including more atoms (slope of the Charton's constants 2.09). A small value of the reaction constant ρ+ has been elucidated due to the lower conjugation between the reaction centre and the benzene ring as a consequence of the geometric twist of the reaction centre out of the main aromatic plane accompanied by fading mesomeric interaction between the reaction centre and the substituents attached to the benzene ring. The isopropyl group in the carbocation is twisted less out of the aromatic plane for the monoatomic substituents and, therefore, also a small difference in the bulk of substituents has considerable steric influence on the conjugation between the carbocation and the benzene ring bearing substituents. On the contrary, the isopropyl group in the carbocations with polyatomic substituents is twisted to such a degree that changes in the bulk of substituents affect the resonant stabilization negligibly. Similar conclusions were also deduced from the correlations of the substitution constants σI and σR+.

- Highly enantioselective reduction of β,β-disubstituted aromatic nitroalkenes catalyzed by Clostridium sporogenes
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) This is the first report of the use of Clostridium sporogenes extracts for enantioselective reduction of C=C double bonds of β,β-disubstituted (1) and α,β-disubstituted nitroalkenes (3). Crude enzyme preparations reduced aryl derivatives 1a-e and 1h, in 35-86% yield with ≥97% ee. Reduction of (E)- and (Z)-isomers of 1c gave the same enantiomer of 2c (≥99% ee). In contrast, α,β- disubstituted nitroalkene 3a was a poor substrate, yielding (S)-4a in low yield (10-20%), and the ee (30-70% ee) depended on NADH concentration. An efficient synthesis of a library of nitroalkenes 1 is described.

A convenient preparative protocol for the synthesis of various 3-arylcyclopropenes in a multigram scale is disclosed. Optimization of the reaction conditions and isolation procedures allowed for significant improvement of the chemical yields of these strained products. The described protocol was used for efficient preparation of a series of 3-methyl-3-arylcyclopropenes possessing different substituents in the aromatic ring. The effect of substitution in the aryl group on the stability of 3-arylcyclopropenes, as well as the corresponding precursors, is discussed.
