- Synthesis of α,β-unsaturated amides by olefin cross-metathesis
-
Electronic and steric properties of the substituents on the amide nitrogen atom govern the yield and rate of the cross-metathesis between a variety of αβ-unsaturated amides and olefins with 1 as the catalyst. This influence is the result of deactivation of the catalyst by chelation of the carbonyl group to the metal. However, an increase in catalyst loading compensates for the chelation effect.

- Direct Catalytic Desaturation of Lactams Enabled by Soft Enolization
-
A direct catalytic method is described for the α,β-desaturation of N-protected lactams to their conjugated unsaturated counterparts under mildly acidic conditions. The reaction is consistently operated at room temperature and tolerates a wide range of functional groups, showing reactivity complementary to that of prior desaturation methods. Lactams with various ring sizes and substituents at different positions all reacted smoothly. The synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated in a concise synthesis of Rolipram. In addition, linear amides also prove to be competent substrates, and the phthaloyl-protected product serves as a convenient precursor to access various conjugated carboxylic acid derivatives. Strong bases are avoided in this desaturation approach, and the key is to merge soft enolization with a Pd-catalyzed oxidation process.

- Asymmetric FeII-Catalyzed Thia-Michael Addition Reaction to α,β-Unsaturated Oxazolidin-2-one Derivatives
-
A highly enantioselective FeII-catalyzed thia-Michael addition to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives was developed. The scope of the reaction was demonstrated with a selection of aromatic, heterocyclic and aliphatic thiols, and various Michael acceptors. The corresponding β-thioethers were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 98%) and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96:4 er). Unusual hepta-coordination of the metal and chelation to α,β-unsaturated oxazolidin-2-one derivatives allowed the construction of a coherent model rationalizing the enantioselective event. DFT calculations support the proposed model for observed stereoselectivities.

- An entry to a chiral dihydropyrazole scaffold: Enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of nitrile imines
-
We have developed a versatile strategy to access dihydropyrazoles in highly enantioenriched form. Dipolar cycloaddition of electron-deficient acceptors and in situ-generated nitrile imines proceeds with high regio- and enantioselectivity using 10 mol % chiral Lewis acid catalyst. A variety of dihydropyrazoles that incorporate functionality for further manipulation have been prepared. Copyright

- Lanthanide Lewis acid-mediated enantioselective conjugate radical additions
-
(figure presented) Lanthanide triflates along with proline-derived ligands have been found to be efficient catalysts for enantioselective conjugate addition of nucleophilic radicals to enoates. N-Acyl oxazolidinones, when used as achiral additives, gave meaningful enhancements in the ees for the product.

- Rational Design of Highly Diastereoselective, Organic Base-Catalyzed, Room-Temperature Michael Addition Reactions
-
Via the rational design of a single-preferred transition state, stabilized by electron donor - acceptor-type attractive interactions, structural and geometric requirements for the corresponding starting compounds have been determined. The Ni(II) complex of the Schiff base of glycine with o-[N-α-picolylamino]acetophenone, as a nucleophilic glycine equivalent, and N-(trans-enoyl)oxazolidin-2-ones, as derivatives of an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid, were found to be the substrates of choice featuring geometric/conformational homogeneity and high reactivity. The corresponding Michael addition reactions were found to proceed at room temperature in the presence of catalytic amounts of DBU to afford quantitatively the addition products with virtually complete diastereoselectivity. Acidic decomposition of the products followed by treatment of the reaction mixture with NH4OH gave rise to the diastereomerically pure 3-substituted pyroglutamic acids.

- trans-3,4-Disubstituted pyrrolidines by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition: Enantioselective approaches and their limitations
-
In the presence of a chiral Lewis acid as co-catalyst, the acid- catalysed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction yielding trans-3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidines from an azomethine ylide and achiral α,β-unsaturated dipolarophiles proceeded with low enantioselectivity. Therefore a number of α,β-unsaturated dipolarophiles linked to chiral auxiliaries were examined as substrates. Camphorsultam was the best auxiliary and gave good diastereoselectivity (dr=74:26). When combining chiral Lewis acids with a dipolarophile linked to a chiral auxiliary, the enantio-selectivity could be slightly increased. As judged by 13C NMR, the small effect of the chiral Lewis acids on selectivity was probably due to breakdown of the initially formed complex with the dipolarophile caused by the dipole precursor.

- Formation of N-Tributylstannyl Heterocycle from Bis(tributyltin) Oxide and ω-Haloalkyl Isocyanate. One-Pot Convenient Synthesis of 2-Oxazolidinones and Tetrahydro-2H-1,3-oxazin-2-one
-
Novel types of compounds, N-tributylstannyl-2-oxazolidinone (4a) and tetrahydro-2H-1,3-oxazin-2-one (4b), are formed from the adduct of (n-Bu3Sn)2O (1) with ω-haloalkyl isocyanate (2), and the subsequent coupling reaction with alkyl halides gives a variety of N-substituted 2-oxazolidinones and tetrahydro-2-oxazinones in a one-pot procedure.Both the cyclization and the coupling reaction proceed quantitatively in the presence of HMPA which enhances the reactivity of the Sn-heteroatom bond by coordination.
