Palladium-Catalyzed Tandem Hydrocarbonylative Lactamization and Cycloaddition Reaction for the Construction of Bridged Polycyclic Lactams

The intramolecular hydroaminocarbonylation of alkenes is a compelling tool to rapidly access lactam, a privileged motif ubiquitous in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. However, selective carbonylation to bridged polycyclic lactams with a lactam nitrogen at a bridgehead position is less explored. We herein report a modular palladium-catalyzed approach to perform a tandem hydrocarbonylative lactamization/Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction with 2-vinyl aryl aldimines, alkenes, and CO, which offers convenient access to furnish the bridged polycyclic lactams in high yields with high selectivities.

Copper(I)-Catalyzed Enyne Oxidation/Cyclopropanation: Divergent and Enantioselective Synthesis of Cyclopropanes

An efficient copper(I)-catalyzed enyne oxidation/cyclopropanation for the modular synthesis of cyclopropane derivatives is described, which represents the first non-noble metal-catalyzed enynes oxidation/cyclopropanation by the in situ generated α-oxo copper carbenes. This protocol allows the assembly of valuable cyclopropane-γ-lactams in generally good to excellent yields with excellent diastereoselectivity. More significantly, the enantioselective version of enyne oxidation/cyclopropanation has been disclosed with chiral copper catalysts.

Carbonylative cycloaddition between two different alkenes enabled by reactive directing groups: Expedited construction of bridged polycyclic skeletons

A novel palladium-catalyzed highly selective hydrocarbonylative cycloaddition reaction with two different alkenes in the presence of CO enabled by a reactive directing-group is developed, which offers efficient and convenient access to lactone-containing bridged polycyclic compounds in high yield with high chemo- and stereoselectivities.

Enantioselective Remote C(sp3)-H Cyanation via Dual Photoredox and Copper Catalysis

The remote C(sp3)-H cyanation of carboxamides has been described by merging photoredox and copper catalysis in a site-selective and enantiocontrolled manner. The protocol is the integration of photoinduced and nitrogen-centered radical-mediated intermolecular hydrogen atom transfer with chiral copper-complex-catalyzed radical cyanation. This strategy gives enantio-enriched cyanated amides in high yields.

Enantioselective Copper-Catalyzed Desymmetrization of 1,3-Diketones Involving Borylation of Styrenes

A copper-catalyzed intramolecular enantioselective and diastereoselective borylative coupling of styrenes and ketones was achieved by merging desymmetrization strategy and olefin difunctionalization. The reaction proceeds through an initial enantioselective borylcupration of styrenes, followed by a highly selective direct addition to 1,3-diketones. The bicyclic scaffolds with three chiral carbon centers, including two tetrasubstituted carbons, were generated in excellent yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities. This catalytic tandem reaction has great potential for further synthetic application of the chiral polycyclic compounds, because of the versatility of the functional groups in the products.

AgOTf-catalyzed sequential synthesis of 4-isoquinolones: Via oxidative ring opening of aziridines and aza-Michael addition

An efficient AgOTf-catalyzed sequential reaction involving the oxidative ring-opening of aziridines by DMSO and aza-Michael addition has been developed. A series of 2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-isoquinolones were afforded in moderate to good yields by the formation of one new CO bond and one new C-N bond. The features of this sequential reaction include high bonding efficiency, use of a catalytic amount of catalysts, a broad substrate scope and mild conditions. This methodology provides a good choice for constructing the libraries of 2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-isoquinolones.

Palladium-Catalyzed Ring-Forming Aminoalkenylation of Alkenes with Aldehydes Initiated by Intramolecular Aminopalladation

A palladium-catalyzed aminopalladation reaction followed by nucleophilic addition with aldehydes and dehydration is described. This direct and operationally simple procedure provides a rapid and reliable approach to a wide range of functionalized tetrahydroisoquinolines with high selectivity. Mechanistic studies disclosed that the nucleophilic addition, performed via a highly ordered transition-state, is the turnover-limiting step in which the inherent β-hydride elimination of the key Csp3?Pd species was controlled by the confined conformation and the nucleophilicity of the Csp3?Pd bond was enhanced by the strong electron-donating effect of the nitrogen atom.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Three-Component Tandem Process: An Assembly of Complex Trifluoromethylated Phthalans and Isoindolines

A novel photoredox-mediated tandem three-component process afforded a wide variety of CF3-containing phthalans and isoindolines in respectable yields and with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivity.

Preparation of amino-substituted indenes and 1,4-dihydronaphthalenes using a one-pot multireaction approach: Total synthesis of oxybenzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids

Allylic trichloroacetimidates bearing a 2-vinyl or 2-allylaryl group have been designed as substrates for a one-pot, two-step multi-bond-forming process leading to the general preparation of aminoindenes and amino-substituted 1,4-dihydronaphthalenes. The synthetic utility of the privileged structures formed from this one-pot process was demonstrated with the total synthesis of four oxybenzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids, oxychelerythrine, oxysanguinarine, oxynitidine, and oxyavicine. An intramolecular biaryl Heck coupling reaction, catalyzed using the Hermann-Beller palladacycle was used to effect the key step during the synthesis of the natural products.

Relay catalysis: Enantioselective synthesis of cyclic benzo-fused homoallylic alcohols by chiral bronsted acid-catalyzed allylboration/ring closing metathesis

Six- and seven-membered benzo-fused cyclic homoallylic alcohols can be readily synthesized by a tandem chiral Bronsted acid-catalyzed allyl (crotyl)boration/ring closing metathesis sequence performed under orthogonal relay catalysis conditions. Excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities are obtained in most of the cases. In addition, the parent crotylboration/RCM process is also described. The required substrates, ortho-vinylbenzaldehydes, are readily available in one step from commercially available starting materials. Both catalysts and reactants are also available from commercial suppliers. The reaction shows broad functional group compatibility and is also suitable for heteroaromatic substrates. Substitution at any position of the aromatic ring is tolerated; however, substitution at position 6 results in a substantial drop in enantioselectivity. Copyright
