Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Enantioselective γ-Lactams Formation by Intramolecular C-H Amidation of 1,4,2-Dioxazol-5-ones

We report the Ru-catalyzed enantioselective annulation of 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones to furnish γ-lactams in up to 97% yield and 98% ee via intramolecular carbonylnitrene C - H insertion. By employing chiral diphenylethylene diamine (dpen) as ligands bearing electron-withdrawing arylsulfonyl substituents, the reactions occur with remarkable chemo- and enantioselectivities; the competing Curtius-type rearrangement was largely suppressed. Enantioselective nitrene insertion to allylic/propargylic C - H bonds was also achieved with remarkable tolerance to the C=C and C=C bonds.

PH-independent transfer hydrogenation in water: Catalytic, enantioselective reduction of β-keto esters

A pH-independent asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of β-keto esters in water with formic acid/sodium formate is described. The reaction is conducted open to air and gives access to β-hydroxy esters in excellent yields and selectivities.

Enantioselective Michael addition of ketones to maleimides catalyzed by bifunctional monosulfonyl DPEN salt

An unprecedented enantioselective Michael addition of various ketones to maleimides catalyzed by a simple bifunctional primary amine, monosulfonyl DPEN salt, is reported and provides the desired adducts in good to excellent yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99%).

Asymmetric Syn-selective Henry reaction catalyzed by the sulfonyldiamine-CuCl-pyridine system

(Chemical Equation Presented) A catalytic asymmetric Henry reaction has been developed with use of a sulfonyldiamine-CuCl complex as a catalyst. A series of new binaphthyl-containing sulfonyldiamine ligands (2a-h) were readily synthesized in two steps starting from commercially available chiral 1,2-diamines. The (R,R)-diamine-(R)-binaphthyl ligand (2d)-CuCl complex smoothly catalyzed the enantioselective Henry reaction with the assistance of pyridine to give the corresponding adduct with high enantiomeric excess (up to 93%). Moreover, the 2d-CuCl-pyridine system promotes the diastereoselective Henry reaction in syn-selective manner to give the adduct in up to 99% yield with 92:8 synlanti selectivity. The enantiomeric excess of the syn-adduct was 84% ee.
