- General Synthesis of Chiral α,α-Diaryl Carboxamides by Enantioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling
-
A general synthesis of chiral α,α-diaryl carboxamides is developed by enantioselective cross-coupling between 2-bromo-2-aryl carboxamides and arylboronic acids, leading to a series of chiral α,α-diaryl carboxamides with various electronic properties and functionalities in moderate to excellent enantioselectivities and yields. The employment of a sterically bulky chiral P,P═O ligand L2 is critical for the reactivity and selectivity. This protocol is applied to an efficient asymmetric synthesis of a key intermediate of dopamine receptor agonist SKF 38393.

- Metal-Free Oxidative Esterification of Ketones and Potassium Xanthates: Selective Synthesis of α-Ketoesters and Esters
-
A novel and efficient oxidative esterification for the selective synthesis of α-ketoesters and esters has been developed under metal-free conditions. In the protocol, various α-ketoesters and esters are available in high yields from commercially available ketones and potassium xanthates. Mechanistic studies have proven that potassium xanthate not only promotes oxidative esterification but also provides an alkoxy moiety for the reaction, which involves the cleavage and reconstruction of C-O bonds.

- Ambient and aerobic carbon-carbon bond cleavage toward α-ketoester synthesis by transition-metal-free photocatalysis
-
The α-oxoesterification of the CC double bond in readily available enaminones enabling efficient synthesis of α-ketoesters is developed. The reactions showing general tolerance to the reactions of primary and secondary alcohols proceed well under air via Rose Bengal (RB)-based photocatalysis. Particularly, this mild synthetic method has been discovered to tolerate various polyhydroxylated substrates such as phenolic alcohol, diols and triols with an excellent selectivity of mono-oxoesterification. What is more noteworthy is that α-ketoester functionalized 16-dehydropregnenolone acetate resulting from the elaboration on a natural product has been obtained practically.

- Diastereo- and Enantioselective Synthesis of Fluorine Motifs with Two Contiguous Stereogenic Centers
-
The synthesis of chiral fluorine containing motifs, in particular, chiral fluorine molecules with two contiguous stereogenic centers, has attracted much interest in research due to the limited number of methods available for their preparation. Herein, we report an atom-economical and highly stereoselective synthesis of chiral fluorine molecules with two contiguous stereogenic centers via azabicyclo iridium-oxazoline-phosphine-catalyzed hydrogenation of readily available vinyl fluorides. Various aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic systems with a variety of functional groups were found to be compatible with the reaction and provide the highly desirable product as single diastereomers with excellent enantioselectivities.

- Copper-catalyzed TEMPO oxidative cleavage of 1,3-diketones and β-keto esters for the synthesis of 1,2-diketones and α-keto esters
-
A copper-catalyzed efficient and practical method has been developed for the synthesis of 1,2-diketones and α-keto esters. TEMPO was used as a radical initiator and scavenger, oxidizing the cleavage of α-methylene of 1,3-diketones and β-keto esters to form 1,2-diketones and α-keto esters. This method provided a general way for the formation of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds.

- Copper(II)-Catalyzed Benzylic C(sp3)-H Aerobic Oxidation of (Hetero)Aryl Acetimidates: Synthesis of Aryl-α-ketoesters
-
A straightforward method is developed in this paper for the synthesis of α-ketoesters through copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of (hetero)aryl acetimidates using molecular oxygen as a sustainable oxidant. The reaction represents the first example of the direct synthesis of aryl-α-ketoesters from arylacetimidates through the aerobic oxidation of a benzylic C(sp3)-H (CO) bond in moderate to good yield. This transformation occurs under mild reaction conditions with a wide range of substrates and utilizes a readily available oxidant and catalyst. The synthetic utility of this transformation is demonstrated through scaled-up synthesis. A plausible reaction mechanism is also proposed.

Asymmetric intramolecular direct hydroarylation of α-ketoamides gives various types of optically active 3-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles in high yields with complete regioselectivity and high enantioselectivities (84-98 % ee). This is realized by the use of the cationic iridium complex [Ir(cod) 2](BArF4) and the chiral O-linked bidentate phosphoramidite (R,R)-Me-BIPAM. Carbon's got a brand new bond: Asymmetric intramolecular direct hydroarylation of α-ketoamides gives various optically active 3-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles in high yields with complete regioselectivity and high enantioselectivities.

A highly efficient enantioselective addition of Me2Zn to α-ketoesters, assisted by a chiral perhydro-1,3-benzoxazine ligand, is described. This novel catalytic system offers homogeneous elevated enantioselectivities in the preparation of α-hydroxyesters that bear a quaternary stereocenter, with a minor dependence on electronic and steric effects when aromatic, heteroaromatic, or aliphatic α-ketoesters are employed. The catalyst can be recovered and reused without loss of activity.

- CeCl3·7H2O: An effective additive in ru-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of aromatic α-ketoesters
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) In the presence of catalytic amounts of CeCl3·7H2O, [RuCl(benzene)(S)-SunPhos]Cl is a highly effective catalyst for the asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic α-ketoesters. A variety of ethyl α-hydroxy-α-arylacetates have been prepared in up to 98.3% ee with a TON up to 10 000. Challenging aromatic α-ketoesters with ortho substituents are also hydrogenated with high enantioselectivities. The addition of CeCl3·7H2O not only improves the enantioselectivity but also enhances the stability of the catalyst. The ratio of CeCl3·7H2O to [RuCl(benzene)(S)-SunPhos]Cl plays an important role in the hydrogenation reaction with a large substrate/catalyst ratio.
