Abstract The construction of N–N axially chiral motifs is an important research topic, owing to their wide occurrence in natural products, pharmaceuticals and ligands. One efficient method the atroposelective dihydropyrimidin-4-one formation. We present herein a direct catalytic synthesis atropisomers with simultaneous creation contiguous axial central chirality by oxidative NHC ( N -heterocyclic carbenes) catalyzed (3 + 3) cycloaddition. Using our method, we are able synthesize structurally diverse pyrroles indoles vicinal or bearing 2,3-dihydropyrimidin-4-one moiety moderate good yields excellent enantioselectivities. Further synthetic transformations obtained derivative products demonstrated. reaction mechanism origin enantioselectivity understood through DFT calculations.

Abstract We report an organocatalyst that combines a triazolium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) with squaramide as hydrogen-bonding donor (HBD), which can effectively catalyze the atroposelective ring-opening of biaryl lactams via unique amide C–N bond cleavage mode. The free species attacks carbonyl, forming axially chiral acyl-azolium intermediate. Various amines be accessed by this methodology up to 99% ee and yield. By using mercaptan catalyst turnover agent, resulting thioester synthon transformed into several interesting atropisomers. Both control experiments theoretical calculations reveal crucial role hybrid NHC-HBD skeleton, activates H-bonding brings it spatially close centre. This discovery illustrates potential chimera demonstrates complementary strategy for activation manipulation.

A highly enantioselective electrophilic selenylation/semipinacol rearrangement of allenols has been developed, which is enabled by the cooperative catalysis a chiral sulfide and an achiral sulfonic acid. The designed synthesized catalyst selenylating reagent play crucial role in enhancing both enantioselectivity reactivity. This approach exhibits excellent regio-, chemo-, enantioselectivity, providing access to diverse enantioenriched cyclopentanones featuring arylselenovinyl-substituted quaternary carbon stereocenter. Furthermore, these products can be transformed into synthetically valuable alkyne, vinyl bromide, aniline derivatives. Mechanistic studies reveal that combination acid not only facilitates formation catalytically active species, but also governs reaction. Meanwhile, density functional theory calculations disclose four hydrogen bond interactions π‧‧‧π interaction are responsible for observed enantioselectivity. Rearrangement reactions serve as steps syntheses biologically provide intellectual conceptual curiosities within broad field organic chemistry. Here, authors report allenols, catalysed Lewis base.

The catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition of phosphorus nucleophiles to unsaturated compounds, catalyzed by metallic or nonmetallic catalysts, has been extensively developed. However, the enantioselective transformations involving α,β-unsaturated carboxylic esters for constructing chiral c-p bonds have rarely reported, particularly in metal-free processes. In this study, we present a novel methodology 1,4-addition diarylphosphine oxides using classical oxazaborolidine catalysts. Remarkably high yields and enantioselectivities were obtained most products. Furthermore, these valuable serve as crucial intermediates that can be transformed into various derivatives including amides, acids, alcohols single step.

We herein report [Rh(COD)OAc]2/Mg(NTf2)2-catayzed highly atroposelective hydroselenation two classes 1-alkynylindoles using selenophenols, where Mg(II) salt both activates Rh catalyst and provides a key NTf2 anion essential for catalytic activity enantioselectivity, affording C–N axially chiral trisubstituted olefins bear relatively low racemization barrier (ΔG‡ ∼ 27 kcal/mol). The system features high activity, mild reaction conditions, good functional group tolerance, regio-, (E)-, enantioselectivity. selenoether moiety in product framework can be readily functionalized to give synthetically useful products.
