- Ring-Strain-Enabled Catalytic Asymmetric Umpolung C-O Bond-Forming Reactions of 1,2-Oxazetidines for the Synthesis of Functionalized Chiral Ethers
-
An unprecedented catalytic asymmetric umpolung C-O bond-forming reaction of N-nosyl 1,2-oxazetidines with β-keto esters has been achieved in the presence of a chiral phase-transfer catalyst, allowing access to a range of highly functionalized chiral ethers bearing quaternary and no adjacent stereogenic centers with high yields, excellent enantioselectivities, and diastereoselectivities (up to 97percent ee and 20:1 dr). These versatile products could be flexibly transformed into biologically important chiral fused and spiro morpholines in two steps.

- Enantioselective synthesis of primary 1-(aryl)alkylamines by nucleophilic 1,2-addition of organolithium reagents to hydroxyoxime ethers and application to asymmetric synthesis of G-protein-coupled receptor ligands
-
(E)-Arylaldehyde oxime ethers bearing a (1S)-2-hydroxy-1-phenylethyl or (2R)-1-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl group as a chiral auxiliary, both derived from a single precursor, methyl (R)-mandelate, underwent nucleophilic addition with organolithium reagents via six-membered chelates to give the diastereomerically enriched (R)- and (S)-adducts, respectively, which, after chiral auxiliary removal by reductive N-O bond cleavage, led to the corresponding (R)- and (S)-1-(aryl)ethylamines. This organolithium addition protocol using methyllithium was applied in an enantiodivergent fashion to the preparation of both enantiomers of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylamine, which has been previously used as an efficient chiral auxiliary for the synthesis of natural products in this laboratory. The synthetic utility of this methodology involving diastereoselective methyl addition was demonstrated by further application to the asymmetric synthesis of a new type of calcium receptor agonist (calcimimetics), (R)-(+)-NPS R-568 and its thio analogue. Furthermore, diastereoselective vinylation was accomplished by application of the hydroxy oxime ether-based protocol using vinyllithium, which allowed the development of the enantioselective synthesis of the NK-1 receptor antagonists, (+)-CP-99,994 and (+)-CP-122,721.

- Zirconium cation coordination in the borohydride-mediated synthesis of β-hydroxy-N-alkoxylamines
-
Hydride reductions of oxime ethers to hydroxylamine derivatives are facilitated by the participation of neighboring hydroxyl groups. Precomplexation with zirconium cation in ether-methylene chloride solutions is effective for selective C=N bond reduction. The course for stereochemical control is dictated by Lewis acid coordination complexes of E- and Z-oximino ethers which lead to the preferred diastereofacial delivery of external hydride.
