Article Abstract

A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 3,4-dihydrocoumarins with adjacent tertiary-quaternary stereocenters by 1,6-addition/transesterification cascade reaction of α-isocyanoacetates with ortho-hydroxyphenyl-substituted para-quinone methides (p-QMs) has been developed. Using a combination of dihydroquinidine-derived aminophosphine and silver nitrate as a binary catalytic system, moderate to good yields, excellent diastereoselectivities (>20 : 1 dr) and good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee) were achieved for a wide range of isocyanoacetates and p-QMs.

Nonreducing disaccharides are prevalent in non-mammalian glycans and glycolipids, serving as pivotal structural components in mycobacterial glycans, microbial oligosaccharide and nucleoside antibiotics, as well as biologically active mimetics of bacterial pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). As integral components of PAMPs, 1,1'-linked disaccharide-containing biomolecules play important roles in host-pathogen interactions, cellular signaling, and pathogenesis. Accessing complex biomolecules containing nonreducing disaccharides is often hindered by difficulties in isolating them from natural sources, which can result in impure or degraded products, particularly when sensitive functional groups are involved.

Both chiral bisoxazolines and bisimidazolines are efficient chiral ligands in metal-catalyzed asymmetric organic transformations. Chiral cyclohexane-linked bisimidazolines were prepared from optically active cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid and 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamines via the monosulfonylation of 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamines, condensation of -sulfonylated 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamines and cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, and the final cyclization with the in situ generated Hendrickson reagent.

Beyond the conventional carbon-centered chirality, catalytic asymmetric transformations of isocyanides have recently emerged as a powerful strategy for the efficient synthesis of structurally diverse scaffolds featuring axial, planar, helical, and inherent chirality. Herein, we summarize the exciting achievements in this rapidly evolving field. These elegant examples have been organized and presented based on the reaction type as well as the resulting chirality form.

The Mukaiyama-Michael (M-M) reaction is a powerful approach for carbon-carbon bond formation and can provide access to all-carbon quaternary centers and vicinal stereocenters. The use of chiral catalysts for this transformation has enabled the development of efficient asymmetric methods in which the reaction proceeds with high enantioselectivity in the presence of only a substoichiometric amount of the chiral promoter. Both chiral Lewis acid catalysts and organocatalysts have been employed.
