Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Cyclopropane C-H/C-C Activation Sequence Provides Diastereoselective Access to alpha-Alkoxylated gamma-Lactams

Stereoselective synthesis of alkyl-, aryl-, vinyl- and alkynyl-substituted Z-enamides and enol ethers

Matthew Wodrich, Jérôme Waser, Romain Gaëtan Tessier, Paola Caramenti, Nina Declas

Enamides and enol ethers are valuable building blocks in synthetic chemistry, yet their stereoselective synthesis can be challenging. Herein, we report a new stereoselective synthesis of vinyl, aryl, alkynyl, alkyl and thio-substituted Z-enamides and enol ...

Dearomatization of electron poor six-membered N-heterocycles through [3+2] annulation with aminocyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Shyamal Chakrabarty, Johannes Preindl

Many abundant and highly bioactive natural alkaloids contain an indolizidine skeleton. A simple, high yielding method to synthesize this scaffold from N-heterocycles was developed. A wide range of pyridines, quinolines and isoquinolines reacted with donor- ...

Synthesis of novel pyrrolidine 3,4-diol derivatives as inhibitors of alpha-L-fucosidases

Pierre Vogel, Yolanda Vera-Ayoso, Inmaculada Robina, Claudia Bello

The stereoselective synthesis of new 3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine derivatives starting from D-mannose, D-ribose and L-fucose is presented. Two synthetic strategies employing organometallic addition to hemiacetalic sugars followed by selective nucleophilic disp ...

Sulfur dioxide-mediated syntheses of polyfunctional alkenes and (E,Z)- and (E,E)-2,4-dien-1-ones

Pierre Vogel, Laure Bouchez, Cotinica Craita

Efficient methods for the stereoselective synthesis of polyfunctional (E)- and (2)-alkenes and conjugated (EE)- and (E,2)-dienones are presented. They rely upon one-pot, four-component processes that condense 1-oxy-1,3-dienes, silyl enol ethers, SO2, and c ...
