Pyrrolizidine alkaloids and their derivatives often feature interesting biological activities. A class of substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-1-one derivatives has been explored as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease, but enantioselective synthesis of these molecules is still elusive. We report that enantioselective N-allylation of N-silyl pyrrole latent nucleophiles with allylic fluorides followed by hydrogenation and diastereoselective Friedel-Crafts cyclization constitute an efficient synthetic route to access enantioenriched substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-1-ones.
Iridium- and Rhodium-Catalyzed Directed C-H Heteroarylation of Benzaldehydes with Benziodoxolone Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

The C-H heteroarylation of benzaldehydes with indoles and pyrroles was realized using the benziodoxolone hypervalent iodine reagents indole- and pyrroleBX. Functionalization of the aldehyde C-H bond using either an o-hydroxy or amino directing group and catalyzed by an iridium or a rhodium complex allowed the synthesis of salicyloylindoles and (2-sulfonamino)benzoylindoles, respectively, with good to excellent yields (74-98%). This new transformation could be carried out under mild conditions (rt to 40 °C) and tolerated a broad range of functionalities, such as ethers, halogens, carbonyls, or nitro groups.
Lewis Acid Catalyzed Enantioselective Desymmetrization of Donor–Acceptor meso-Diaminocyclopropanes

The first Lewis acid catalyzed enantioselective ring-opening desymmetrization of a donor–acceptor meso-diaminocyclopropane is reported. The copper(II)-catalyzed Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles and one pyrrole with an unprecedented meso-diaminocyclopropane delivered enantioenriched, diastereomerically pure urea products, which are structurally related to natural and synthetic bioactive compounds. The development of a new ligand through the investigation of an underexplored subclass of bis(oxazoline) ligands was essential for achieving high enantioselectivities.
