N-Heterocyclic carbene catalyzed enantioselective functionalization of 3-aminobenzofurans at the C2-position was realized using 2-bromoenals as the coupling partner. The reaction proceeds via generation of chiral α,β-unsaturated acylazoliums and follows a

Two- and three-bond coupling constants (2JHC and 3JHC) were determined for a series of 12 substituted cinnamic acids using a selective 2D inphase/antiphase (IPAP)-single quantum multiple bond correlation (HSQMBC) and 1D proton coupled 13C NMR experiments. The coupling constants from two methods were compared and found to give very similar values. The results showed coupling constant values ranging from 1.7 to 9.7 Hz and 1.0 to 9.6 Hz for the IPAP-HSQMBC and the direct 13C NMR experiments, respectively. The experimental values of the coupling constants were compared with discrete density functional theory (DFT) calculated values and were found to be in good agreement for the 3JHC. However, the DFT method under estimated the 2JHC coupling constants. Knowing the limitations of the measurement and calculation of these multibond coupling constants will add confidence to the assignment of conformation or stereochemical aspects of complex molecules like natural products.

A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral glycidic acid derivatives through chiral dioxirane-mediated catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of cinnamic acid derivatives

A novel and practical asymmetric synthesis of chiral glycidic acid derivatives involving methyl (2R,3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)glycidate ((2R,3S)-2a), a key intermediate for diltiazem hydrochloride (1), was developed. Treatment of methyl (E)-4-methoxycinnamate ((E)-3a) with chiral dioxirane, generated in situ from a catalytic amount (5 mol %) of an 11-membered C2-symmetric binaphthyl ketone (R)-7a, provided (2R,3S)-2a in 92% yield and 80% ee. Other cinnamic acid esters and amides were epoxidized by the use of the same procedure to give the corresponding chiral glycidic acid derivatives with up to 95% yield and 92% ee. Higher enantioselectivities in the asymmetric epoxidation of (E)-cinnamates than that of (E)-stilbene derivatives were observed and were proposed to be attributed to a dipole-dipole repulsion between oxygen atoms of an ester group in the cinnamates and those of the lactone moieties in the binaphthyl dioxirane.
