Bond cleavage, fragment modification and reassembly in enantioselective three-component reactions

Bond cleavage, fragment modification and reassembly in enantioselective three-component reactions

Chemical bond cleavage and reconstruction are common processes in traditional rearrangement reactions. In contrast, the process that involves bond cleavage, fragment modification and then reconstruction of the modified fragment provides an efficient way to build structurally diversified molecules. Here, we report a palladium(II)/chiral phosphoric acid catalysed three-component reaction of aryld...

Coenzyme B6 dependent novel bond cleavage reactions

Coenzyme B6 is an important cofactor participating in many diverse biotransformations. W e the function of this coenzyme in enzyme catalysis has been well established, recent studies have led to two novel coenzyme B6-dependent reactions whose catalyses involve unique mechanistic variants of usual coenzyme B6 chemistry. These are a C 0 bond cleavage and a C-C bond cleavage reaction catalyzed by ...

First enantioselective one-pot, three-component imino Reformatsky reaction*

The Reformatsky reaction is the well-recognized carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction of α-halo esters with aldehydes or ketones in the presence of Zn metal to give β-hydroxy esters. Recently, it has been reported that Rhand Ni-catalyzed Reformatsky reaction, in which R2Zn (R = Me, Et) acts as the Zn source, reacted smoothly with carbonyl compounds and imines. Taking advantage of N-methylephedrin...

Organocatalytic Enantioselective Henry Reactions

A large number of interesting organocatalytic enantioselective protocols have been explored and successfully applied in the last decade. Among them, the Henry (nitroaldol) reaction represents a powerful carbon-carbon bond-forming procedure for the preparation of valuable synthetic intermediates, such as enantioenriched nitro alcohols, which can be further transformed in a number of important ni...
