An efficient and practical catalytic approach for the enantioselective synthesis of 3-substituted morpholines through a tandem sequential one-pot reaction employing both hydroamination and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions is described. Starting from ether-containing aminoalkyne substrates, a commercially available bis(amidate)bis(amido)Ti catalyst is utilized to yield a cyclic imine that is subsequently reduced using the Noyori-Ikariya catalyst, RuCl [(S,S)-Ts-DPEN] (η6-p-cymene), to afford chiral 3-substituted morpholines in good yield and enantiomeric excesses of >95%. A wide range of functional groups is tolerated. Substrate scope investigations suggest that hydrogen-bonding interactions between the oxygen in the backbone of the ether-containing substrate and the [(S,S)-Ts-DPEN] ligand of the Ru catalyst are crucial for obtaining high ee's. This insight led to a mechanistic proposal that predicts the observed absolute stereochemistry. Most importantly, this mechanistic insight allowed for the extension of this strategy to include N as an alternative hydrogen bond acceptor that could be incorporated into the substrate. Thus, the catalytic, enantioselective synthesis of 3-substituted piperazines is also demonstrated.

Reaction of cyclic secondary amines with 1-alkynes and copper(I) chloride at 110-120 °C gives the corresponding alkynylcopper complex, which adds to the iminium ion intermediate formed in situ by hydroamination of 1-alkynes to give the corresponding propargylamine derivatives in up to 94% yield and 99% regioselectivity. The diastereomerically pure chiral propargylamines were obtained in 23-89% yield using optically active 2-benzyl morpholine and N-methyl camphanyl piperazine. These chiral propargylamines are readily converted to the corresponding trisubstitued chiral allenes in 71-89% yields with up to 99% ee upon reaction with ZnBr2 at 120 °C. The results are discussed considering mechanisms involving diastereoselective addition of alkynylcopper complex formed in situ to iminium ions formed in situ regioselectively to produce the corresponding propargylamines, which in turn give the chiral allenes with very high enantioselectivity via an intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen shift in the presence of zinc bromide.

Gone, without a trace: The in situ reaction of 2-(acetoxymethyl)buta-2,3- dienoate and a secondary amine produces a 2-methylene-3-oxobutanoate equivalent that can be used in asymmetric [4+2] annulations with N-tosylimines to provide tetrahydropyridines in
