Stereodivergent Intramolecular C(sp3)–H Functionalization of Azavinyl Carbenes: Synthesis of Saturated Heterocycles and ...

Published in Journal of the American Chemical Society

A general approach for the formation of five-membered saturated heterocycles by intramolecular C(sp3)–H functionalization is reported. Using N-sulfonyltriazoles as Rh(II) azavinyl carbene equivalents, a wide variety of stereodefined cis-2,3-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans were obtained with good to excellent diastereoselectivity from readily availab...

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...

Pd(II)-Catalyzed meta-C–H Olefination, Arylation, and Acetoxylation of Indolines Using a U-Shaped Template

Published in Journal of the American Chemical Society

meta-C-H olefination, arylation, and acetoxylation of indolines have been developed using nitrile-containing templates. The combination of a monoprotected amino acid ligand and the nitrile template attached at the indolinyl nitrogen via a sulfonamide linkage is crucial for the meta-selective C-H functionalization of electron-rich indolines that are...
