Aminal-pyrrolidine organocatalysts - Highly efficient and modular catalysts for α-functionalization of carbonyl compounds

The substitution of the 4-position of hydroxyproline by a phenol group, together with an aminal on the 2-position, gave a synergistic effect leading to two powerful complementary organocatalysts. They show excellent enantiocontrol in the α-functionalization of a wide range of linear/ branched aldehydes and ketones, including Michael additions to ethenediyl disulfones or nitrostyrene and α-amination. We obtained ees up to 98.5 % with low catalyst loadings (down to 1 mol-%). As a proof of efficiency, TOFs of up to 1000 h-1 could be obtained.

Synthesis of (+)-7a-epi-7-deoxycasuarine via cross metathesis

Olefin cross metathesis of vinyl pyrrolidine derivatives has been explored, culminating in a concise synthesis of (+)-7a-epi-7-deoxycasuarine in nine steps, from commercially available starting materials.
