The development of efficient chiral monodentate phosphine ligands lags behind that of the bidentate congeners. This holds especially true for highly electron rich chiral phosphine analogues able to replace the ubiquitous tricyclohexylphosphine and tri-tert ...
A chiral phosphoric acid (5)-catalyzed three-component Povarov reaction of aldehydes 2, anilines 3, and enecarbamates 4 afforded cis-4-amino-2-aryl(alkyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines 1 in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivities (>95%) and almost ...

The 2,3-anti-3,4-syn-stereotriad (1Z,2S,3R,4S)-1-ethylidene-2,4-dimethyl-3-[(1S)-1-phenylethoxy]-5-oxopent-1-yl isobutyrate {(-)-8, obtained in a one-pot operation from the trimethylsilyl (Z)-enol ether derived from pentan-3-one and (1E,3Z)-1[(1S)-phenylet ...
Triple selectivity: Highly substituted indenylamines can be obtained with high enantioselectivity by formal [3+2] additions of aryl ketimines with internal alkynes. These rhodium(I)-catalyzed processes proceed by selective C-H activation of one of the two ...
L-Lemonose, the glycosidic part of (–)-lemonomycin, has been synthesized in ten steps with 18% overall yield from Dthreonine. The key steps are a double, highly diastereoselective Grignard addition to a Weinreb amide and a chemoselective oxidation of a pri ...
An approach to the synthesis of polyhydroxyazepane derivatives from sugar-based epoxyamides or epoxyalcohols, in which the total regioselective epoxide opening by nitrogen nucleophiles is the key step, is described. Thus, novel polyhydroxyazepane carboxami ...
Controlling supramolecular self-assembly is a fundamental step towards molecular nanofabrication, which involves a formidable reverse engineering problem. It is known that a variety of structures are efficiently obtained by assembling appropriate organic m ...
The first enantioselective chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of unprotected ortho-hydroxyaryl alkyl N-H ketimines using Hantszch di-tert-butyl ester as a reductant is reported. A variety of ortho-hydroxybenzylamines were obtained in go ...
A unique and practical synthetic sequence for rapid access to polyketides and to further the spiroacetals derived from them, which utilizes a bidirectional Hosomi-Sakurai allylation approach around key allylsilanes in the synthesis of the AB and CD ring sy ...
The activation of carbon-carbon σ bonds is a complementary method to access uncommon and difficult-to-prep. organometallic species. Herein, we describe the activation of tert-cyclobutanols through an enantioselective insertion of a chiral rhodium(I) compl ...
