A new class of organocatalysts based on the structure of 2,3-dihydrobenzo[1,4]oxazine was prepared and applied in the enantioselective transfer-hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with Hantzsch ester as hydride donor. These catalysts proved to be particularly effective for the conjugate reduction of β,β-diaryl-substituted acrylaldehydes leading to saturated aldehydes bearing a stereogenic center with two different aryl groups with enantioselectivities of up to 91% ee.

Diversity-oriented synthesis of structurally complex and diverse small molecules can be used as the first step in a process to explore cellular and organismal pathways. The success of this process is likely going to be dependent on advances in the synthesis of small molecules having natural product-like structures in an efficient and stereoselective manner. The development, scope, and mechanism of the oxidation of organocuprates was investigated and exploited in the atropdiastereoselective synthesis of biaryl-containing medium rings (9-, 10-, and 11-membered rings). The methodology was performed on high-capacity, large polystyrene beads by metalating aryl bromides with-iPrBu2MgLi, followed by transmetalating with CuCN·2LiBr and then oxidizing with 1,3-dinitrobenzene, and was used in a diversity-oriented synthesis of biaryl-containing medium rings (library total theoretical maximum 1412 members). The high capacity beads were arrayed into 384-well plates and, using a process optimized during the development of a one bead/one stock solution technology platform, converted into arrays of stock solutions, with each stock solution containing largely one compound. These stock solutions were used in numerous phenotypic and proteinbinding assays. The process described outlines a pathway that we feel will contribute to a comprehensive and systematic chemical approach to exploring biology (chemical genetics).
