The direct, catalytic substitution of unactivated alcohols remains an undeveloped area of organic synthesis. Moreover, catalytic activation of this difficult electrophile with predictable stereo-outcomes presents an even more formidable challenge. Described herein is a simple iron-based catalyst system which provides the mild, direct conversion of secondary and tertiary alcohols to sulfonamides. Starting from enantioenriched alcohols, the intramolecular variant proceeds with stereoinversion to produce enantioenriched 2- and 2,2-subsituted pyrrolidines and indolines, without prior derivatization of the alcohol or solvolytic conditions.
Organocatalytic Enantioselective Acyloin Rearrangement of α-Hydroxy Acetals to α-Alkoxy Ketones

We report an unprecedented organocatalytic enantioselective acyloin rearrangement of α,α-disubstituted α-hydroxy acetals. In the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral binol-derived N-triflyl phosphoramide, α-hydroxy acetals rearranged to α-alkoxy ketones in good to high yields with high enantioselectivities. Formation of an ion pair between the in situ generated oxocarbenium ion and the chiral phosphoramide anion was proposed to be responsible for the highly efficient transfer of chirality. Conditions for removal of cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl groups from the corresponding α-alkoxy ketones were uncovered underpinning their potential general utility as hydroxy protecting groups. Conversion of the rearranged products to the enantioenriched α-hydroxy ketone, 1,2-diol, β-amino alcohol and 1,4-dioxane was also documented.

The cladiellin family of natural products, which includes molecules with various biological activities, continues to invite new synthetic studies. A gold-catalyzed tandem reaction of 1,7-diynes to construct the 6-5-bicyclic ring systems that are present in a number of natural products was developed. This reaction was applied as the key step to realize the formal and total syntheses of nine members of the cladiellin family in an enantio- and diastereoselective manner. This modular and efficient approach could also be used for the construction of other cladiellins, as well as their analogues, for follow-up studies. Clad(iellins) in gold: A gold-catalyzed tandem reaction of 1,7-diynes was previously developed to construct the 6-5-bicyclic ring systems that are present in a number of natural products. This reaction was applied to realize the total synthesis of nine members of the cladiellin family. This modular and efficient approach, which is enantio- and stereoselective, could also be used for the construction of other cladiellins and their analogues. Copyright
A simple, scalable synthetic route to (+)- and (-)-pseudoephenamine
Mellem, Kevin T.,Myers, Andrew G.

A three-step synthesis of pseudoephenamine suitable for preparing multigram amounts of both enantiomers of the auxiliary from the inexpensive starting material benzil is described. The sequence involves synthesis of the crystalline monomethylimine derivat
Synthesis of quaternary α-methyl α-amino acids by asymmetric alkylation of pseudoephenamine alaninamide pivaldimine
Hugelshofer, Cedric L.,Mellem, Kevin T.,Myers, Andrew G.

The utility of pseudoephenamine as a chiral auxiliary for the alkylative construction of quaternary α-methyl α-amino acids is demonstrated. The method is notable for the high diastereoselectivities of the alkylation reactions, for its versatility with respect to electrophilic substrate partners, and for its mild hydrolysis conditions, which provide α-amino acids without salt contaminants. Alternatively, α-amino esters can be obtained by direct alcoholysis.
Pseudoephenamine: A practical chiral auxiliary for asymmetric synthesis
Morales, Marvin R.,Mellem, Kevin T.,Myers, Andrew G.
, p. 4568 - 4571 (2012/06/30)
Unrestricted: Pseudoephenamine is introduced as a versatile chiral auxiliary and an alternative to pseudoephedrine in asymmetric synthesis. It is free from regulatory restrictions and leads to remarkable stereocontrol in alkylation reactions, especially in those that form quaternary carbon centers. Amides derived from pseudoephenamine exhibit a high propensity to be crystalline substances, and provide sharp, well-defined signals in NMR spectra. Copyright
A concise and versatile double-cyclization strategy for the highly stereoselective synthesis and arylative dimerization of aspidosperma alkaloids
Medley, Jonathan William,Movassaghi, Mohammad
supporting information; experimental part, p. 4572 - 4576 (2012/07/03)
Building cycles: A strategy for the concise, stereoselective synthesis of aspidosperma alkaloids and related structures via a common putative diiminium ion intermediate is reported. The approach enables the dimerization of aspidosperma-type structures at the sterically hindered C2 position. The intermediate is prepared in one step from the shown lactam through an electrophilic double-cyclization cascade (see scheme; Tf= trifluoromethanesulfonyl). Copyright
Aromatic motifs in the design of Ephedra ligands for application in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes and diphenylphosphinoylimines

Using N-benzylephedrine as a model, a collection of N-arylmethylephedrine derivatives has been prepared. These derivatives were prepared by treatment of ephedrine with selected aldehydes to create oxazolidines 8a-e. Reduction of the oxazolidines with lith

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate with the dimethyl malonate-BSA-LiOAc system has been successfully carried out in the presence of easily prepared new chiral amino-phosphinite ligands such as 3b and 3c to
Aminophosphine phosphinites derived from chiral 1,2-diphenyl-2-aminoethanols: Synthesis and application in rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acid derivatives
Lou, Rongliang,Mi, Aiqiao,Jiang, Yaozhong,Qin, Yong,Li, Zhi,Fu, Fangmin,Chan, Albert S.C
, p. 5857 - 5863 (2007/10/03)
A series of chiral aminophosphine phosphinites DPAMPPs was synthesized from optically active 1,2-diphenyl-2-aminoethanols. The erythro-DPAMPPs were found to serve as excellent ligands for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acid derivatives. For an array of dehydroamino acid precursors, remarkably high enantioselectivity (up to 98.4% e.e.) and reactivity (the ratio of substrate/catalyst up to 10000) were observed. Some factors controlling the enantioselectivity were examined and discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
