Catalytic Enantioselective α-Ketol Rearrangement

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Hua Wu, Rémi Julien Sylvain Andres

A highly enantioselective a-ketol rearrangement has been developed. In the presence of a chiral Cu-bisoxazoline complex, achiral b-hydroxy-a-dicarbonyls were isomerized to chiral a-hydroxy-b-dicarbonyls and their bicyclic derivatives in excellent yields an ...

Revisiting the Urech Synthesis of Hydantoins: Direct Access to Enantiopure 1,5-Substituted Hydantoins Using Cyanobenziodoxolone

Jérôme Waser, Franck Le Vaillant, Nina Declas

A method for the synthesis of enantiopure 1,5-substituted hydantoins was developed using a hypervalent iodine cyanation reagent (cyanobenziodoxolone, CBX) as a source of electrophilic carbon. Starting from inexpensive commercially available enantiopure pro ...

Dual Photoredox/Copper Catalysis for the Remote C(sp3 )−H Functionalization of Alcohols and Alkyl Halides by N -Alkoxypyridinium Salts

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Xu Bao

Under mild dual photoredox/copper catalysis, the reaction of N-alkoxypyridinium salts with readily available silyl reagents (TMSN3, TMSCN, TMSNCS) afforded d-azido, d-cyano, and d-thiocyanato alcohols in high yields. The reaction went through a domino proc ...

Catalytic Atropenantioselective Heteroannulation between Isocyanoacetates and Alkynyl Ketones: Synthesis of Enantioenriched Axially Chiral 3-Arylpyrroles

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Sheng-Cai Zheng

We report herein the first examples of catalytic enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral 3-arylpyrroles. Reaction of a-isocyanoacetates with b-aryl-a,b-alkynic ketones in the presence of silver oxide and a phosphine ligand derived from Cinchona alkalo ...

Ultrafast broadband circular dichroism in the deep ultraviolet

Majed Chergui, Malte Oppermann, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Benjamin Bauer

The measurement of chirality and its temporal evolution are crucial for the understanding of a large range of biological functions and chemical reactions. Steady-state circular dichroism (CD) is a standard analytical tool for measuring chirality in chemist ...

Indole Alkaloids, Macrocycles and Heterocycles : Interplay between Methodological Development and Total Synthesis

Cyril Piemontesi

An enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-terengganensine A, a heptacyclic monoterpene indole alkaloid, was performed. A short sequence allowed to obtain the enantio-enriched target in good overall yield. The synthesis featured a key asymmetric transfer h ...
