Racemic vinylallenes are shown to be effective substrates for catalytic multicomponent diastereo- and enantioselective 1,6-conjugate addition of multifunctional allyl moieties to easily accessible α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated diesters. Reactions may be catalyzed by 5.0 mol % of a readily accessible NHC-Cu complex at ambient temperature, and other than a vinylallene, involve B2(pin)2 and an α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated diester. A variety of vinylallenes were converted to products bearing a Z-trisubstituted alkenyl-B(pin) moiety, a vinyl group, a β,γ-unsaturated diester unit, and vicinal stereogenic centers in up to 67 % yield, 87:13 Z/E ratio, >98:2 d.r., and 98:2 e.r. Chemoselective modifications involving the alkenyl-B(pin), the vinyl, or the 1,2-disubstituted olefin moieties were carried out to demonstrate versatility and utility. Stereochemical models, based on mechanistic and DFT studies, demonstrate the dynamic behavior of intermediated Cu-allyl species and account for various selectivity profiles.

Herein, a simplified approach to the synthesis of medium-ring ethers through the electrophilic activation of secondary alcohols with (poly)cationic λ3-iodanes (N-HVIs) is reported. Excellent levels of selectivity are achieved for C–O bond migration over established α-elimination pathways, enabled by the unique reactivity of a novel 2-OMe-pyridine-ligated N-HVI. The resulting hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) acetals are readily derivatized with a range of nucleophiles, providing a versatile functional handle for subsequent manipulations. The utility of this methodology for late-stage natural product derivatization was also demonstrated, providing a new tool for diversity-oriented synthesis and complexity-to-diversity (CTD) efforts. Preliminary mechanistic investigations reveal a strong effect of alcohol conformation on the reactive pathway, thus providing a predictive power in the application of this approach to complex molecule synthesis.
Asymmetric Induction via a Helically Chiral Anion: Enantioselective Pentacarboxycyclopentadiene Br?nsted Acid-Catalyzed Inverse-Electron-Demand Diels-Alder Cycloaddition of Oxocarbenium Ions

An enantioselective catalytic inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction of salicylaldehyde acetal-derived oxocarbenium ions and vinyl ethers to generate 2,4-dioxychromanes is described. Chiral pentacarboxycyclopentadiene (PCCP) acids are found to be effective for a variety of substrates. Computational and X-ray crystallographic analyses support the unique hypothesis that an anion with point-chirality-induced helical chirality dictates the absolute sense of stereochemistry in this reaction.
