The first strategy for bringing about highly enantioselective alkylative enolate kinetic resolutions using a simple phase-transfer protocol via SN2 chemistry has been developed. In the presence of a new squaramide-based quaternized cinchona alkaloid-derived catalyst and aqueous base, benzyl, allyl, and propargyl halides react with racemic substituted oxindoles to generate densely functionalized products with the two contiguous stereocenters, one of which is an all-carbon quaternary.
Dynamic kinetic resolution of bis-aryl succinic anhydrides: Enantioselective synthesis of densely functionalised γ-butyrolactones

The efficient Dynamic Kinetic Resolution (DKR) of disubstituted anhydrides has been shown to be possible for the first time. Using an ad hoc designed organocatalyst and an enantio- and diastereoselective cycloaddition process with aldehydes, stereochemically complex γ-butyrolactone derivatives can be obtained-with control over three contiguous stereocentres, one of which is all carbon quaternary.

Paragraph 0100; 0101, (2014/02/15)
The present invention provides a process for preparing a substantially stereochemically pure compound of formula (I), or a salt thereof wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, -CH2-CH3, and -CH=CH2, the process comprising the step of demethylating the corresponding methylated compound of formula (II) in the presence of an alkaline or alkaline earth metal (C1-C10) alkylthiolate salt and a polar aprotic solvent.
