Asymmetric Synthesis of Diamine Derivatives via Sequential Palladium and Rhodium Catalysis
Published in Journal of the American Chemical Society
The use of a bifunctional nitrogen nucleophile and an allyl carbonate starting material in successive enantioselective palladium- and diastereoselective rhodium-catalyzed reactions enables the rapid assembly of unique amino aziridine products. Further elaboration of these materials affords complex, stereodefined polyamine architectures, thus demons...

Practical Pd(II)-Catalyzed C–H Alkylation with Epoxides: One-Step Syntheses of 3,4-Dihydroisocoumarins
Published in Journal of the American Chemical Society
Pd(II)-catalyzed ortho-alkylation of benzoic acids with both terminal and internal epoxides affords 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins in one step. The presence of potassium countercations is crucial for this reaction. Monoprotected amino acid ligands significantly promote this reaction, enabling the development of a practical C–H alkylation reaction using 0....
