Enantioselective desymmetrization by direct monofunctionalization of prochiral diols is a powerful strategy to prepare valuable synthetic intermediates in high optical purity. Boron acids can activate diols toward nucleophilic additions; however, the design of stable chiral catalysts remains a challenge and highlights the need to identify new chemotypes for this purpose. Herein, the discovery and optimization of a bench-stable chiral 9-hydroxy-9,10-boroxarophenanthrene catalyst is described and applied in the highly enantioselective desymmetrization of 2-aryl-1,3-diols using benzylic electrophiles under operationally simple, ambient conditions. Nucleophilic activation and discrimination of the enantiotopic hydroxy groups on the diol substrate occurs via a defined chairlike six-membered anionic complex with the hemiboronic heterocycle. The optimal binaphthyl-based catalyst 1g features a large aryloxytrityl group to effectively shield one of the two prochiral hydroxy groups on the diol complex, whereas a strategically placed "methyl blocker"on the boroxarophenanthrene unit mitigates the deleterious effect of a competing conformation of the complexed diol that compromised the overall efficiency of the desymmetrization process. This methodology affords monoalkylated products in enantiomeric ratios equal or over 95:5 for a wide range of 1,3-propanediols with various 2-aryl/heteroaryl groups.
Nickel-Catalyzed Asymmetric Kumada Cross-Coupling of Symmetric Cyclic Sulfates

Nickel-catalyzed enantioselective cross-couplings between symmetric cyclic sulfates and aromatic Grignard reagents are described. These reactions are effective with a broad range of substituted cyclic sulfates and deliver products with asymmetric tertiary carbon centers. Mechanistic experiments point to a stereoinvertive SN2-like oxidative addition of a nickel complex to the electrophilic substrate.

experimental part, p. 2037 - 2048 (2010/06/12)
The HIV-1 protease is a validated drug target for the design of antiretroviral drugs to combat AIDS. We previously established the sulfoximine functionality as a valid transition state mimetic (TSM) in the HIV-1 protease inhibitors (PI) design and have id
Design and synthesis of a conformationally restricted trans peptide isostere based on the bioactive conformations of saquinavir and nelfinavir

, p. 3747 - 3752 (2007/10/03)
The design and synthesis of a new peptide isostere which contains a trans alkene core is described. The key step involves a Wadsworth-Emmons reaction between chiral aldehyde (2S)-9a and chiral phosphonate 7 under base-sensitive conditions to give a chiral enone (2R)-24a which was reduced to afford the desired trans alkene isosteres (2R,5R)-6a and (2R,5S)-6b (Scheme 6). A potential application of this isostere in the synthesis of HIV protease inhibitors is also discussed.
Synthesis of sulfur-containing olefinic peptide mimetic farnesyl transferase inhibitors using the Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction and cuprate S(N)2' displacements
Yang, Hu,Sheng, Xiaoning C.,Harrington, Edmund M.,Ackermann, Karen,Garcia, Ana Maria,Lewis, Michael D.
, p. 242 - 251 (2007/10/03)
Syntheses of the potent sulfur-containing tetrapeptide mimetic farnesyl transferase inhibitors B956 (22) and B957 (23) are described. The two double bonds in 22 and 23 were constructed by application of iterative NHK and cuprate S(N)2' reactions. Normal syn NHK reaction and substrate-dependent syn and anti-S(N)2' diastereoselectivities accompanied by exclusive E-olefin selectivity were observed for the first NHK iteration (1 → 4). In the second iteration, unexpected epimerization and a strong preference for syn diastereoselectivity was observed for the NHK reaction (5b → 7a + 9a) while an unusual Z-olefin was observed for the S(N)2' reaction (7b → 11). Deprotection conditions were optimized to ensure high purity and yield of the final aminothiol compounds.
