Bromoisobutyrate has been used for the first time as a general brominating source for the direct bromination of a diverse of simple phenyl ethers. Aromatic ethers bearing various substituents could be compatible in this reaction system delivering brominated arenes in moderate to good yields. The reaction system can also be expanded to bromination of phenols and unactivated arene. This process can be regarded as an alternative for the well-established bromination systems for bromoarene synthesis.

We report an asymmetric homocoupling of ortho-(iodo)arylphosphine oxides and ortho-(iodo)arylphosphonates resulting in highly enantioenriched axially chiral bisphosphine oxides and bisphosphonates. These products are readily converted to enantioenriched b
Synthesis of [6,6,m]-Tricyclic Compounds via [4+2] Cycloaddition with Au or Cu Catalyst

We synthesized [6,6,6]- and [6,6,7]-tricyclic compounds via intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition by gold or copper catalysts. Substrates for cyclization were prepared by coupling reactions between eight types of diyne and four types of aromatic moieties. We have successfully synthesized eleven tricyclic compounds.

We have developed an efficient oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes with ethyl bromoisobutyrate and dimethyl sulfoxide. Diaryl ketone can also be prepared under this reaction system.

One approach for the synthesis of isoindolinones, a privileged bioactive heterocyclic core structure, involves a condensation reaction of o-phthaldialdehydes with a suitable nitrogen-containing nucleophile. This fascinating reaction is revisited here in the context of the use of o-phthaldialdehydes that contain additional substituents in the aromatic ring leading to a detailed analysis of the regioselectivity of the reaction. Eleven monosubstituted o-phthaldialdehydes were synthesised and reacted with alanine. The regioselectivity observed across the eleven substrates led to the design of a disubstituted substrate that reacted with very high control. A gram-scale reaction followed by esterification gave one major regioisomer in high yield. In addition, the regioselectivity observed on reaction of two novel monodeuterated substrates led to an increased mechanistic understanding.

, p. 25 - 28 (2015/12/23)
A convergent, formal enantioselective synthesis of anti-Helicobacter pylori agent, (+)-spirolaxine methyl ether 2 has been achieved in high enantiomeric purity starting from commercially available 1,5-pentanediol. The strategy mainly comprises of the Noyori's asymmetric reduction and Brown allylation/Cu-catalyzed lactonization as the key step for the construction of key chiral intermediates, spiroketal 3 and phthalide fragment 4.
Domino [Pd]-Catalysis: One-Pot Synthesis of Isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones

, p. 7685 - 7691 (2016/09/09)
An efficient domino [Pd]-catalysis for the synthesis of isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones is presented. The strategy shows broad substrate scope and is amenable to o-bromobenzyl tertiary/secondary/primary alcohols. Significantly, the method was applied to the synthesis of antiplatelet drug n-butyl phthalide and cytotoxic agonist 3a-[4′-methoxylbenzyl]-5,7-dimethoxyphthalide.

An ongoing challenge in modern catalysis is to identify and understand new modes of reactivity promoted by earth-abundant and inexpensive first-row transition metals. Herein, we report a mechanistic study of an unusual copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-migration of 2-bromostyrenes that reincorporates the bromine activating group into the final product with concomitant borylation of the aryl halide bond. A combination of experimental and computational studies indicated this reaction does not involve any oxidation state changes at copper; rather, migration occurs through a series of formal sigmatropic shifts. Insight provided from these studies will be used to expand the utility of aryl copper species in synthesis and develop new ligands for enantioselective copper-catalyzed halogenation.

The asymmetric total syntheses of naturally occurring resorcylic acid lactone paecilomycin E and two of its structural congeners have been reported in this article. The major highlight of the synthetic venture is the application of the late stage Mitsunob

Ortho-lithiated styrenes or ortho-lithiated benzaldehyde dimethyl acetals were added to 2,2-dimethoxypent-4-enals 7. The resulting alcohols were carried on to the aromatic dienones 10. These were ring-closed by olefin metathesis. Hydrolysis of the dimethyl ketal moiety and enolization provided the 3,4-benzotropolones 5. Overall, this access comprises 4-6 steps and totaled a 22-81% yield.
