We have developed a palladium-catalyzed regioselective and enantiospecific ring-opening Suzuki–Miyaura arylative cross-coupling of N-tosyl-2-arylazetidines to give enantioenriched 3,3-diarylpropylamines. This reaction represents an example of transition-metal-catalyzed ring-opening cross-coupling using azetidines as a non-classical alkyl electrophile. Density functional theory rationalized the mechanism of the full catalytic cycle, which consists of the selectivity-determining ring opening of the azetidine, reaction with water, rate-determining transmetalation, and reductive elimination. Transition states of the selectivity-determining ring-opening step were systematically determined by the multi-component artificial force induced reaction (MC-AFIR) method to explain the regioselectivity of the reaction.

A simple and efficient synthetic route to substituted N-sulfinyl and N-sulfonyl azetidines is described involving imino-aldol reaction of ester enolates with racemic and non-racemic aldimines for obtaining β-amino esters as a key step. These β-amino ester

The metal-free synthesis of 2-substituted and 2,3-disubstituted morpholines through a one-pot strategy is described. A simple and inexpensive ammonium persulfate salt enables the reaction of aziridines with halogenated alcohols to proceed via an SN2-type ring opening followed by cyclization of the resulting haloalkoxy amine.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The regioselective ring opening of 2-aryl-substituted four-membered heterocyclic rings with phenols, including catechol, was achieved by the use of aryl borates in mild and neutral reaction conditions without the aid of any transition metal catalysts. While β-alkyl azetidines were found not to be reactive, optically active N-tosyl azetidines gave the corresponding β-aryloxy amines in a racemic form, thus indicating the considerable carbocationic character of the transition state. The introduction of a hydroxyl group in the azetidine ring (i.e., an azetidinol), able to anchor the aryl borate and to direct the subsequent nucleophilic delivery, was shown to determine the ring-opening process with predominant inversion of configuration. When enantiomerically enriched 2-aryl oxetanes were used, the reduced extent of racemization observed (up to 93:7 er) was rationalized by an intramolecular delivery through a six-membered transition state, giving β-aryloxy alcohols with a predominant retention of configuration (i.e., a syn-stereoselective ring opening). The aryloxy alcohols obtained, endowed with suitable functionalities, can be cyclized to give access to enantiomerically enriched 2-aryl-1,5-benzodioxepins.
