β-Substituted acrylamides have low electrophilicity and are yet to be exploited in the enantioselective Rauhut–Currier reaction. By exploiting electron-withdrawing protection of the amide and moderate nucleophilicity N-heterocyclic carbenes, such substrates have been converted to enantioenriched quinolones. The reaction proceeds with complete diastereoselectivity, good yield, and modest enantioselectivity. Derivatizations are reported, as are computational studies, supporting decreased amide bond character with electron-withdrawing protection of the nitrogen.
Regiospecific synthesis of substituted 2-nitrobenzaldehydes from benzaldehydes through palladium-catalyzed chelation-assisted C-H nitration

A regiospecific synthesis of substituted 2-nitrobenzaldehydes from substituted benzaldehydes has been developed that involves a three-step process with palladium-catalyzed chelation-assisted C-H nitration as the key step. In the process, O-methyl aldoxime serves as a removable directing group for the palladium-catalyzed ortho-nitration of substituted benzaldoximes and it can be removed in subsequent conversion of the resulting 2-nitrobenzaldoximes into 2-nitrobenzaldehydes.
