A novel method for the stereoselective conjugate addition of 3-substituted oxindoles to in situ generated o-QMs was described. This process was catalyzed efficiently by a cinchonidine-derived squaramide catalyst in oil-water phase, furnishing the corresponding 3,3-disubsituted oxindole derivatives in moderate to high yields (up to 98%) with high stereoselectivities (up to 95% ee, 15.4:1 dr). The utility of this reaction was also investigated by the gram-scale synthesis and derivatization of one of the products.

An organocatalytic asymmetric trifluoromethylthiolation reaction via in situ generation of active electrophilic trifluoromethylthio species involving trichloroisocyanuric acid and AgSCF3 as a practical and easily handled electrophilic SCF3 source for CSP 3-SCF3 bond formation was developed. Reactions with this one-pot version strategy occurred in good yields and excellent stereoselectivities to access enantiopure oxindoles bearing a SCF 3-substituted quaternary chiral center. The straightforward process described here makes use of simple starting materials and proceeds under mild conditions, which will be useful in medicinal chemistry and diversity-oriented syntheses.
Enantioselective construction of tetrasubstituted stereogenic carbons through bronsted base catalyzed michael reactions: α′-hydroxy enones as key enoate equivalent

Catalytic and asymmetric Michael reactions constitute very powerful tools for the construction of new C-C bonds in synthesis, but most of the reports claiming high selectivity are limited to some specific combinations of nucleophile/electrophile compound types, and only few successful methods deal with the generation of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. A contribution to solve this gap is presented here based on chiral bifunctional Bronsted base (BB) catalysis and the use of α′-oxy enones as enabling Michael acceptors with ambivalent H-bond acceptor/donor character, a yet unreported design element for bidentate enoate equivalents. It is found that the Michael addition of a range of enolizable carbonyl compounds that have previously demonstrated challenging (i.e., α-substituted 2-oxindoles, cyanoesters, oxazolones, thiazolones, and azlactones) to α′-oxy enones can afford the corresponding tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters in high diastereo- and enantioselectivity in the presence of standard BB catalysts. Experiments show that the α′-oxy ketone moiety plays a key role in the above realizations, as parallel reactions under identical conditions but using the parent α,β-unsaturated ketones or esters instead proceed sluggish and/or with poor stereoselectivity. A series of trivial chemical manipulations of the ketol moiety in adducts can produce the corresponding carboxy, aldehyde, and ketone compounds under very mild conditions, giving access to a variety of enantioenriched densely functionalized building blocks containing a fully substituted carbon stereocenter. A computational investigation to rationalize the mode of substrate activation and the reaction stereochemistry is also provided, and the proposed models are compared with related systems in the literature.
