A simple and straightforward approach to the diastereoselective synthesis of noncoded β-hydroxy-α-amino esters from Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts is described. The strategy is based on a one-pot sequence involving an oxidative cleavage of the double bond of silylated Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts, followed by the reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride/pyridine to form oximes. The stereoselective reduction of the oximes with the mixture MoCl5·nH2O/NaBH3CN led to the corresponding anti-β-hydroxy-α-amino esters in four steps in good overall yield and with diastereoselectivity higher than 95%. A slight modification of the synthetic approach has allowed for the racemic synthesis of a set of noncoded α-amino esters/acids and DOPA

Starting from Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts, an approach for the synthesis of oxopyrazolidines, arylidene-oxopyrazolidines, and oxo-2,5-dihydropyrazoles is described. The method is based on a tandem process involving a Michael addition of amino-guan
Hyphenating the curtius rearrangement with morita-baylis-hillman adducts: Synthesis of biologically active acyloins and vicinal aminoalcohols

Using Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts as substrates, the Curtius rearrangement was performed in a sequence that allowed the synthesis of several hydroxy-ketones (acyloins) with great structural diversity and in good overall yields. These acyloins in turn were easily transformed into 1,2-anti aminoalcohols through a highly diastereoselective reductive amination step. The synthetic utility of these approaches was exemplified by performing the syntheses of (±)-bupropion, a drug used to treat the abstinence syndrome of smoker and (±)-spisulosine, a potent anti-tumoral compound originally isolated form a marine source.

We disclose herein a new strategy for the diastereoselective preparation of 4- and 4,5-substituted oxazolidinones from Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts. The strategy is based on an intramolecular cyclization involving a nucleophilic attack of an alkoxide ion

In this Letter, we describe an easy and straightforward strategy for the preparation of acyloins (α-hydroxyketones) from Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts, based on a Curtius rearrangement. Different acyloins were obtained with good overall yield (>40% for three steps). To exemplify the synthetic usefulness of this strategy, total synthesis of (±)-bupropion, a dopamine, and nor-epinefrine reuptake inhibitor has been accomplished in eight steps with an overall yield of 25%.
