The first carboxylic acid selective aldol reaction mediated by boron compounds and a mild organic base (DBU) was developed. Inclusion of electron-withdrawing groups in the amino acid derivative ligands reacted with BH3·SMe2 forms a boron promoter with increased Lewis acidity at the boron atom and facilitated the carboxylic acid selective enolate formation, even in the presence of other carbonyl groups such as amides, esters, ketones, or aliphatic aldehydes. The remarkable ligand effect led to the broad substrate scope including biologically relevant compounds.

Novel 3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]alkyl-2-oxindole analogs were synthesized by either of the following two pathways: (1) a sequence of Knoevenagel condensation of oxindole with (4-dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde–hydrogenation, or (2) alkylation of oxindole dianion with [(4-dimethylamino)phenyl]alkyl halides. Subsequent alkylation at C-3 and/or N-1 of the oxindole skeleton by anion-based methods provided additional substituted derivatives for structure-activity relationship studies. Their effects on neuronal cell death induced by oxidative stress were evaluated by lactate dehydrogenase assay. Compounds with the alkyl chain length of 2–4 significantly suppressed the neuronal cell death. No significant change occurred in the activity by substitution with less-polar groups. The stereochemistry at C-3 of the oxindole core was also irrelevant for the neuroprotective effects of these compounds.
Cyclization-cycloaddition cascade of rhodium carbenoids using different carbonyl groups. Highlighting the position of interaction

A series of 3-diazoalkanediones, when treated with a catalytic quantity of a rhodium(II) carboxylate, were found to afford oxabicyclic dipolar cycloadducts derived by the trapping of a carbonyl ylide intermediate. The reaction involves generation of the 1,3-dipole by intramolecular cyclization of the keto carbenoid onto the oxygen atom of the neighboring keto group. Both five- and six-ring carbonyl ylides are formed with the same efficiency. A study of the tandem cyclization-cycloaddition cascade of several α-diazo ketoesters was also carried out, and the cascade sequence proceeded in high yield. When the interacting keto carbonyl group was replaced by an imido group, the rhodium(II)-catalyzed reaction proceeded uneventfully. In contrast, α-diazo amidoesters do not undergo nitrogen extrusion on treatment with a Rh(II) catalyst. Instead, the diazo portion of the molecule undergoes 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with various dipolarophiles to give substituted pyrazoles as the final products.
