Utilizing a chiral bicyclic imidazole organocatalyst and adopting a continuous injection process, an alternative route has been developed for the efficient synthesis of chiral phthalidyl ester prodrugs via dynamic kinetic resolution of 3-hydroxyphthalides through enantioselective acylation (up to 99 % ee). The computational studies suggest a general base catalytic mechanism differing from the widely accepted nucleophilic catalytic mechanism. The structure analysis of the key transition states shows that the CH-π interactions and not the previously considered cation/π-π interactions between the catalyst and substrate is the dominant factor giving rise to the observed stereocontrol.

Organocatalytic enantioselective intramolecular oxa-Michael reactions of benzyl alcohol bearing α,β-unsaturated carbonyls as Michael acceptors are presented herein. Using cinchona squaramide-based organocatalyst, enones as well as α,βunsaturated esters containing benzyl alcohol provided their corresponding 1,3-dihydroisobenzofuranyl-1-methylene ketones and 1,3-dihydroisobenzofuranyl-1-methylene esters in excellent yields with high enantioselectivities. In addition, enantioenriched 1,3-dihydroisobenzofuranyl-1-methylene ketone could be obtained from the Wittig/oxa-Michael reaction cascade of 1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-1-ol.

A straightforward and convenient route has been developed for the synthesis of 3-unsubstituted phthalide derivatives from aryl amides and paraformaldehyde by ruthenium(II)-catalyzed C–H activation. The reaction proceeds through tandem ortho-hydroxymethylation of aryl amide and subsequent intramolecular lactonization.
