A chiral rhodium(I)-diene catalyst enabled the one-step synthesis of β-aryl β-imido sulfones under mild reaction conditions. By selection of the chiral diene ligand L1a or L2, each enantiomer of the chiral β-aryl β-imido sulfone target can be accessed with high stereoselectivity. Demonstration of the scope of the reaction, which includes the synthesis of an N-protected chiral β-amino β-phenyl sulfone, culminated with the efficient synthesis of the heteroatom-rich active pharmaceutical ingredient apremilast.

The copper-catalyzed substitution reaction of diethyl phosphate derived from TMSCCCH(OH)CH2CH2OTBDPS with 3-c-C5H9-4-MeOC6H3MgBr, followed by several transformations, afforded a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor possessing a Ph-acetylene moiety. The inhibitor was also synthesized from phenylacetylene phosphate PhCCCH(OP(O)(OEt)2)CH2CH2OTBDPS. Furthermore, the substitution of phosphates derived from TMSCCCH(OH)CH3 and TMSCCCH(OH)-i-Pr with 3-F-4-PhC6H3MgBr gave the corresponding substitution products, which were transformed to flurbiprofen and its i-Pr analogue, respectively. The copper-catalyzed substitutions in these syntheses proceeded in a regio- and stereoselective manner. This journal is

Designing strategies to access stereodefined olefinic organoboron species is an important synthetic challenge. Despite significant advances, there is a striking paucity of routes to Z-α-substituted styrenyl organoborons. Herein, this strategic imbalance is redressed by exploiting the polarity of the C(sp2)?B bond to activate the neighboring π system, thus enabling a mild, traceless photocatalytic isomerization of readily accessible E-α-substituted styrenyl BPins to generate the corresponding Z-isomers with high fidelity. Preliminary validation of this contra-thermodynamic E→Z isomerization is demonstrated in a series of stereoretentive transformations to generate Z-configured trisubstituted alkenes, as well as in a concise synthesis of the anti-tumor agent Combretastatin A4.
