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.

Ru(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation/hydroarylation has been developed for the first time, allowing for highly enantioselective synthesis of indoline derivatives via catalytic C-H activation. Commercially available Ru(II) arene complexes and chiral α-methylamines were employed as highly enantioselective catalysts. Based on a sterically rigidified chiral transient directing group, multisubstituted indolines were produced in up to 92% yield with 96% ee. Further transformation of the resulting 4-formylindoline enables access to an optically active tricyclic compound that is of potential biological and pharmaceutical interest.

CrtN has been identified as an attractive and druggable target for treating pigmented Staphylococcus aureus infections. More than 100 new compounds were synthesized, which target the overwhelming the defects of the CrtN inhibitor 1. Analogues 23a and 23b demonstrated a significant activity against pigmented S. aureus Newman and 13 MRSA strains (IC50 = 0.02-10.5 nM), along with lower hERG inhibition (IC50 > 30 μM, ～10-fold decrease in comparison with 1). Furthermore, 23a and 23b were confirmed to reduce the staphylococcal load in the kidney and heart in a mouse model with normal treatment deeper than pretreatment ones, comparable even with vancomycin and linezolid. Remarkably, 23a could strongly block the pigment biosynthesis of these nine multidrug-resistant MRSA strains, including excellent activity against LRSA strains and VISA strains in vivo, and all of which demonstrated that 23a has a huge potential against intractable MRSA, VISA, and LRSA issues as a therapeutic drug.
