Regio- and stereoselective synthesis of benzothiazolo-pyrimidinones via an NHC-catalyzed Mannich/lactamization domino reaction

Regio- and stereoselective synthesis of benzothiazolo-pyrimidinones via an NHC-catalyzed Mannich/lactamization domino reaction.

An NHC-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective Mannich/lactamization domino reaction of N-(benzothiazolyl)imines with α-chloroaldehydes has been developed. This new protocol provides a facile approach for the asymmetric synthesis of benzothiazolo-pyrimidinones and a pyrrolo[1,2-a]indolone in moderate to good yields (34-78%) and excellent stereoselectivities (87-99% ee, up to >20 : 1 d.r.).

A regio- and stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes via gold(I)-catalyzed hydrophosphoryloxylation of haloalkynes.

A new stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes is developed. Hydrophosphoryloxylation of haloalkynes provides Z-alkenyl halophosphates, which undergo Pd-catalyzed consecutive cross-coupling reactions to afford regio- and stereodefined trisubstituted alkenes.

N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed (NHC) three-component domino reactions: highly stereoselective synthesis of functionalized acyclic ε-ketoesters.

A novel NHC-catalyzed three-component domino strategy to access high functionalized cis-ε-ketoesters with excellent yields (up to 98%) and high stereoselectivities (up to 20:1) is documented. The title domino reactions are atom economical and work on a broad range of substrates. The relative stereochemistry could be explained by a cascade crossed-benzoin/oxy-Cope rearrangement/esterification pr...

Regio- and stereoselective synthesis of new diaminocyclopentanols

The optimal conditions for regio- and stereoselective epoxide ring opening of N,N-disubstituted 1,2-epoxy-3-aminocyclopentanes by different nucleophilic reagents have been developed. The substituents on the nitrogen atom in the epoxide precursor and the orientation of the oxirane ring are crucial for the reaction outcome. Thus, treatment of (1RS,2SR,3SR)-1,2-epoxy-3-(N,N-dibenzylamino)cyclopent...
