We have developed a novel approach for the synthesis of enantioenriched 3-boryl-tetrahydropyridines via the Cu(I)-catalyzed regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective protoborylation of 1,2-dihydropyridines, which were obtained by the partial reduction of the pyridine derivatives. This dearomatization/enantioselective borylation stepwise strategy provides facile access to chiral piperidines together with the stereospecific transformation of a stereogenic C-B bond from readily available starting materials. Furthermore, the utility of this method is demonstrated for the concise synthesis of the antidepressant drug (-)-paroxetine. A theoretical study of the reaction mechanism is also described.
Enantioselective total and formal syntheses of paroxetine (PAXIL) via phosphine-catalyzed enone α-arylation using arylbismuth(V) reagents: a regiochemical complement to Heck arylation

Exposure of dihydropyridinone 1 to the arylbismuth(V) reagent (p-F-Ph)3BiCl2 in the presence of substoichiometric quantities of tributylphosphine (10 mol %) results in aryl transfer to the transiently generated (β-phosphonio)enolate to provide the α-arylated enone 2. This transformation, which represents a regiochemical complement to the Mizoroki-Heck arylation, is used strategically in concise formal and enantioselective total syntheses of the blockbuster antidepressant (-)-paroxetine (PAXIL).
