Herein we report the first highly enantioselective allenoate-Claisen rearrangement using doubly axially chiral phosphate sodium salts as catalysts. This synthetic method provides access to β-amino acid derivatives with vicinal stereocenters in up to 95percent ee. We also investigated the mechanism of enantioinduction by transition state (TS) computations with DFT as well as statistical modeling of the relationship between selectivity and the molecular features of both the catalyst and substrate. The mutual interactions of charge-separated regions in both the zwitterionic intermediate generated by reaction of an amine to the allenoate and the Na+-salt of the chiral phosphate leads to an orientation of the TS in the catalytic pocket that maximizes favorable noncovalent interactions. Crucial arene-arene interactions at the periphery of the catalyst lead to a differentiation of the TS diastereomers. These interactions were interrogated using DFT calculations and validated through statistical modeling of parameters describing noncovalent interactions.

A strategically novel synthetic method for the fluoroarylation of allenic ester was developed that enables the expedient construction of a host of β-fluoroalkyl-containing cinnamate derivatives. The reaction proceeds through visible-light-promoted gold redox catalysis, occurs smoothly under very mild reaction conditions, accommodates a large variety of functional groups, and more importantly allows the incorporation of fluorine and aryl groups with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. The concomitant activation mode for both the allene motif and the hydrogen fluoride is key for the success of the reaction.
Regioselective cis,vic-dihydroxylation of α,β,γ,δ- unsaturated carboxylic esters: Enhanced γ,δ-selectivity by employing trifluoroethyl or hexafluoroisopropyl esters

The regioselectivity of Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated carboxylic esters was studied as a function of α-, β-, and δ-substituents and for fluorine-free versus fluorinated esters. The latter showed increased or complete γ,δ-selectivities: the hexafluoroisopropyl ester being superior to the trifluoroethyl ester. Olefinations of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with phosphorus ylide 36 or phosphonate anion 41 provided α,β, γ,δ-unsaturated trifluoroethyl esters, leading inter alia to complete trans selectivity and to 31 with 94% E selectivity, respectively.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A phosphine-catalyzed reaction of an allenoate with aldehydes furnished (2,6-diaryl-[1,3]dioxan-4-ylidene)-acetates 4 in excellent to moderate yields with complete diastereoselectivity and high E/Z-selectivities. Upon removal of the acetal functionality in this domino reaction product 4, δ-hydroxy-β-ketoester 11 was obtained. The reported vinylphosphonium-based approach provides a new way to achieve a synthesis of δ-hydroxy-β-ketoesters that differs from the classical dianion-based approach.
