A method for the catalytic, enantioselective, carbosulfenylation of alkenes to construct 3,4-disubstituted chromans is described. Alkene activation proceeds through the intermediacy of enantioenriched, configurationally stable thiiranium ions generated from catalytic, Lewis base activation of an electrophilic sulfenylating agent. The transformation affords difficult-to-generate, enantioenriched, 3,4-disubstituted chromans in moderate to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. A variety of substituents are compatible including electronically diverse functional groups as well as several functional handles such as aryl halides, esters, anilines, and phenols. The resulting thioether moiety is amenable to a number of functional group manipulations and transformations. Notably, the pendant sulfide was successfully cleaved to furnish a free thiol which readily provides access to most sulfur-containing functional groups which are present in natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Highly regio- A nd enantioselective hydrogenation of conjugated α-substituted dienoic acids was realized for the first time using Trifer-Rh complex, providing a straightforward method for the synthesis of chiral α-substituted ?,?′-unsaturated acids. DFT calculations revealed N+H-O hydrogen bonding interaction is formed to stabilize the transition state and the coordination of 4,5-double bond to Rh(III) center would facilitate the reductive elimination process. This hydrogenation provided a gram-scale synthesis of the precursor of sacubitril.

Herein we report the first highly enantioselective allenoate-Claisen rearrangement using doubly axially chiral phosphate sodium salts as catalysts. This synthetic method provides access to β-amino acid derivatives with vicinal stereocenters in up to 95percent ee. We also investigated the mechanism of enantioinduction by transition state (TS) computations with DFT as well as statistical modeling of the relationship between selectivity and the molecular features of both the catalyst and substrate. The mutual interactions of charge-separated regions in both the zwitterionic intermediate generated by reaction of an amine to the allenoate and the Na+-salt of the chiral phosphate leads to an orientation of the TS in the catalytic pocket that maximizes favorable noncovalent interactions. Crucial arene-arene interactions at the periphery of the catalyst lead to a differentiation of the TS diastereomers. These interactions were interrogated using DFT calculations and validated through statistical modeling of parameters describing noncovalent interactions.

N-Alkylanilines have rarely been used in oxyamination reactions, due to the normally necessary pre-functionalization of the N-atom. Also, the formation of aminium radical cations (ARCs) of anilines bearing alkyl substituents is plagued by the ARC's tendency to instantaneously convert to α-amino radicals or iminium ions. We present a readily available reagent combination that addresses both challenges, and thus allows for an oxyamination with N-alkylanilines via ARCs as the crucial reactive intermediates and excellent diastereoselectivity.

A convenient and efficient domino aryne process was developed under transition-metal-free conditions to generate a range of tetra- and pentacyclic ring systems. This transformation was realized via a 1,2-benzdiyne through a nucleophilic and Diels–Alder reaction cascade using styrene as the diene moiety. Three new chemical bonds, namely one C?N and two C?C bonds, and two benzofused rings could be constructed concomitantly, which was made possible by distinct chemoselective control at both the 1,2-aryne and 2,3-aryne stages. Moreover, in-depth studies were carried out on the domino aryne precursors and controlling the diastereoselectivity.

Asymmetric copper-catalyzed allylic alkylation between allyl bromides and alkyl Grignard reagents using a P-chiral monophosphorus ligand is described. A range of terminal olefins bearing tertiary or quaternary carbon centers were formed in good branched/linear selectivities and excellent enantioselectivities at copper loadings as low as 0.5 mol %.
Biocatalytic dynamic kinetic reductive resolution with ketoreductase from: Klebsiella pneumoniae: The asymmetric synthesis of functionalized tetrahydropyrans

Ketoreductase from growing cells of Klebsiella pneumoniae (NBRC 3319) acts as an efficient reagent for converting racemic α-benzyl/cinnamyl substituted-β-ketoesters to the corresponding β-hydroxy esters with excellent yields and stereoselectivities (ee and de >99 %). The reactions described herein followed a biocatalytic dynamic kinetic reductive resolution (DKRR) pathway, which is reported for the first time with such substrates. It was found that the enzyme system can accept substituted mono-aryl rings with different electronic natures. In addition, it also accepts a substituted naphthyl ring and heteroaryl ring in the α-position of the parent β-ketoester. The synthesized enantiopure β-hydroxy esters were then synthetically manipulated to valuable tetrahydropyran building blocks.

A series of novel phloroglucinol derivatives were designed, synthesized, characterized spectroscopically and tested for their inhibitory activity against selected metabolic enzymes, including α-glycosidase, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I and II). These compounds displayed nanomolar inhibition levels and showed Ki values of 1.14–3.92 nM against AChE, 0.24–1.64 nM against BChE, 6.73–51.10 nM against α-glycosidase, 1.80–5.10 nM against hCA I, and 1.14–5.45 nM against hCA II.

A halogen bond catalyzed bromo-carbocyclization of N-cinnamyl sulfonamides and O-cinnamyl phenyl ethers has been developed. N-methyl 4-iodopyridinium triflate is used as the halogen-bonding organocatalyst and the reaction is highly chemoselective. This report represents the first proof-of-concept for halogen-bonding organocatalyst-promoted electrophilic halogenation. Mechanistic study suggests the autocatalytic nature of this reaction.

Inhibition of S. aureus diapophytoene desaturase (CrtN) could serve as an alternative approach for addressing the tricky antibiotic resistance by blocking the biosynthesis of carotenoid pigment which shields the bacterium from host oxidant killing. In this study, we designed and synthesized 44 derivatives with piperonyl scaffold targeting CrtN and the structure-activity relationships (SARs) were examined extensively to bring out the discovery of 21b with potent efficacy and better hERG safety profile compared to the first class CrtN inhibitor benzocycloalkane derivative 2. Except the excellent pigment inhibitory activity against wild-type S. aureus, 21b also showed excellent pigment inhibition against four pigmented MRSA strains. In addition, H2O2 killing and human whole blood killing assays proved 21b could sensitize S. aureus to be killed under oxidative stress conditions. Notably, the murine study in vivo validated the efficacy of 21b against pigmented S. aureus Newman, vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus Mu50 and linezolid-resistant S. aureus NRS271.
