- Enantioselective Reductive Coupling of Imines Templated by Chiral Diboron
-
We herein report a general, practical, and highly efficient method for asymmetric synthesis of a wide range of chiral vicinal diamines via reductive coupling of imines templated by chiral diboron. The protocol features high enantioselectivity and stereospecificity, mild reaction conditions, simple operating procedures, use of readily available starting materials, and a broad substrate scope. The method signifies the generality of diboron-enabled [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.

- Practical and Asymmetric Reductive Coupling of Isoquinolines Templated by Chiral Diborons
-
We herein describe a chiral diboron-templated highly diastereoselective and enantioselective reductive coupling of isoquinolines that provided expedited access to a series of chiral substituted bisisoquinolines in good yields and excellent ee's under mild conditions. The method enjoys a broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility. Mechanistic investigation suggests the reaction proceeds through a concerted [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.

- Design aspects of metal-free nitrogen-based catalysts and their influence on the yield in the Henry reaction
-
Design aspects of metal-free nitrogen-based catalysts and their influence on the yield in the Henry reaction are disclosed. C 1-Symmetric, N,N-1,2-disposed amine-imine type catalysts were found to be most efficient. C 1-N,N-1,2-Disposed 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,1′-biisoquinoline selectively and efficiently catalyzed the addition of nitromethane to α-keto esters and aldehydes giving exclusively the corresponding β-nitro alcohol adducts in excellent yields under very mild conditions.

- A facile synthesis of vicinal diamines promoted by low-valent niobium: Preparation of chiral octahydrobiisoquinolines and their application to catalytic asymmetric synthesis
-
An efficient homocoupling of imines to give vicinal diamines promoted by low-valent niobium, generated by treatment of NbCl5 with zinc powder, is described. The desired products were obtained in good to excellent yields. Dihydroisoquinoline derivatives also gave the coupling products with good diastereoselectivities (D,L/meso). Optical resolution of the racemic octahydrobiisoquinolines was achieved and their complexes with Cu1 used in the catalytic asymmetric oxidative coupling of β-naphthols. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

- Synthesis and reactions of partially reduced biisoquinolines
-
An improved synthesis of the 1,1′,2,2′,3,3′,4,4′-octahydro-1,1′-biisoquinoline ring system is described. The reactivity of this system has been investigated, including the unusually high basicity of the parent compound and its N,N′-dimethyl derivative. The resolution of the parent compound has been achieved for the first time, along with the development of a straightforward method for assaying its enantiomeric purity.
