Ag(i)/PPh3-catalyzed diastereoselective syntheses of spiro[indole-3,4′-piperidine] derivatives via cycloisomerizations of tryptamine-ynamides

Yanyu Chen et al.

Summary: This paper reports a chelation-controlled cycloisomerization reaction of tryptamine-ynamide catalyzed by Ag(i)/PPh3, which allows access to the spiro[indole-3,4'-piperidine] scaffold in a racemic and diastereoselective manner. Diastereoselective products are achieved through a chiron approach. Density functional theory calculations show that strong non-covalent interactions between the substrate and catalyst/ligand complex stabilize the formation of the spiroindoleninium intermediate via cation-pi-pi interactions.

Confronting the Challenging Asymmetric Carbonyl 1,2-AdditionUsing Vinyl Heteroarene Pronucleophiles: Ligand-ControlledRegiodivergent Processes through a Dearomatized Allyl-Cu Species

Yuyang Dong et al.

Summary: This article introduces a CuH-catalyzed selective reductive coupling reaction of vinyl heteroarenes with aldehydes and ketones. The selectivity of the reaction is controlled by the choice of the ancillary ligand. This method shows excellent selectivity, tolerates various functional groups and heterocycles, and provides a direct route to functionalized saturated heterocyclic structures.

Catalytic Asymmetric Diarylation of Internal Acyclic Styrenes and Enamides

Yang Xi et al.

Summary: This study reports a new catalyst system for the enantioselective transformation of internal acyclic alkenes. By applying different reaction types to two common acyclic alkenes, products with asymmetric centers were obtained. Moreover, the formation of incontiguous stereocenters was achieved through an interrupted chain-walking process.

Regio- and Diastereoselective Rhodium-Catalyzed Allylic Substitution with Unstabilized Benzyl Nucleophiles

Debasis Pal et al.

Summary: The developed method utilizes rhodium catalysis for regio- and diastereoselective allylic substitution reactions, demonstrating high selectivity without the need for exogenous ligands. It is tolerant of various benzylzinc nucleophiles and functionalized aliphatic allylic electrophiles. Additionally, it exploits the configurational fluxionality of the rhodium-allyl intermediate for the construction of vicinal acyclic ternary/ternary stereogenic centers and cyclic ternary/quaternary derivatives.

π-Lewis-Base-Catalyzed Asymmetric Vinylogous Umpolung Reactions of Cyclopentadienones and Tropone

Xing-Xing Yang et al.

Summary: The study reveals that carbonates of 4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenones can form unique palladium complexes for inverse-electron-demand aza-Diels-Alder reactions, along with the synthesis of chiral cycloadducts through cross Rauhut-Currier addition. Additionally, new chiral ligands have been developed for high stereoselectivity even with racemic substrates.

Orthogonal Regulation of Nucleophilic and Electrophilic Sites in Pd-Catalyzed Regiodivergent Couplings between Indazoles and Isoprene

Wen-Shuang Jiang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates an orthogonal regulation of nucleophilic and electrophilic sites in the regiodivergent hydroamination of isoprene with indazoles. By choosing appropriate ligands for electrophilic sites on isoprene and acid co-catalysts for nucleophilic sites on indazoles, different insertion pathways can be controlled. Preliminary experimental studies have been conducted to rationalize the mechanism and regioselectivity, providing insights into the selective functionalization of isoprene and N-functionalization of indazoles.

Lewis-Acid-Promoted Ligand-Controlled Regiodivergent Cycloaddition of Pd-Oxyallyl with 1,3-Dienes: Reaction Development and Origins of Selectivities

Weiwei Chai et al.

Summary: This study presents a novel method for the (3+2) cycloaddition reactions of palladium-oxyallyl species with 1,3-dienes, leading to the formation of five-membered carbocycles with C-C bond formation. The research also achieved regiodivergent access to cyclopentanones and cycloheptanones by tuning the steric properties of the palladium ligand. The reaction mechanism was investigated using DFT calculation, providing insights into the regioselectivities of the cycloaddition.

Jun Li et al.

Summary: This study reports a diastereoselective [4 + 2] cycloisomerization of asymmetric allenyl dienes synthesized using Ma's method. These substrates undergo diastereoselective intramolecular rhodium catalyzed [4 + 2] cycloisomerization similar to thermal intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions, with diastereoselectivities ranging from 99:1 to 90:10 in most examples out of 29 presented.

One-Pot Enantioselective Construction of Polycyclic Tetrahydroquinoline Scaffolds through Asymmetric Organo/Photoredox Catalysis via Triple-Reaction Sequence

Jia-Lu Zhang et al.

Summary: A novel one-pot triple-reaction strategy for the asymmetric construction of polycyclic skeletons with multiple consecutive chiral centers has been reported, resulting in the formation of a wide range of polycyclic tetrahydroquinoline derivatives with good results. This transformation involves the successive formation of five chemical bonds and five consecutive chiral centers.

Summary: Through the control by functional groups, a catalytic divergent cycloisomerization of 1,6-enynes was achieved using a combination of a Pd(0) catalyst with glucose for the synthesis of pyrrole, cyclopentene, and tetra-hydropyridine derivatives. Detailed DFT calculations have provided evidence for the different pathways of selective cyclization/isomerization.
