A study of the deoxyhalogenation of allylic and propargylic alcohols with tetramethyl-α-halo-enamines is reported. Primary allylic and primary and secondary propargylic alcohols gave the corresponding halides in high yields. Secondary allylic and propargylic alcohols yielded the corresponding secondary halides but the reaction also produced some rearranged primary halides (I > Br > Cl). The reactions with tertiary allylic and tertiary propargylic alcohols gave several products and was therefore of little synthetic value. However, the addition of triethylamine to the reaction mixture or the use of lithium alkoxide instead of alcohol brought about a major change of the course of the reaction which led to amides carrying an allyl or an allenyl group at C2. This was shown to result from a Claisen-Eschenmoser rearrangement of an intermediate α-allyloxy- or propargyloxy-enamine.

Daptomycin (DAP) is a calcium (Ca2+)-dependent FDA-approved antibiotic drug for the treatment of Gram-positive infections. It possesses a complex pharmacophore hampering derivatization and/or synthesis of analogues. To mimic the Ca2+-binding effect, we used a chemoenzymatic approach to modify the tryptophan (Trp) residue of DAP and synthesize kinetically characterized and structurally elucidated regiospecific Trp-modified DAP analogues. We demonstrated that the modified DAPs are several times more active than the parent molecule against antibiotic-susceptible and antibiotic-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Strikingly, and in contrast to the parent molecule, the DAP derivatives do not rely on calcium or any additional elements for activity.

Ru(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation/hydroarylation has been developed for the first time, allowing for highly enantioselective synthesis of indoline derivatives via catalytic C-H activation. Commercially available Ru(II) arene complexes and chiral α-methylamines were employed as highly enantioselective catalysts. Based on a sterically rigidified chiral transient directing group, multisubstituted indolines were produced in up to 92% yield with 96% ee. Further transformation of the resulting 4-formylindoline enables access to an optically active tricyclic compound that is of potential biological and pharmaceutical interest.
