Article Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric allylic dearomatization of β-naphthols provides efficient access to enantioenriched naphthalenones. However, these reactions generally suffer from limited substrate scope, incompatibility with alkyl-substituted allylic electrophiles, and poor understandings of the reaction mechanism. Herein, we report a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic dearomatization of β-naphthols utilizing a bisdihydrobenzooxaphosphole (BIBOP) chiral ligand. This catalytic system displays high yields and enantioselectivity and broad substrate scope, efficiently accommodating both alkyl- and aryl-substituted allylic carbonates. Detailed mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction proceeds through a tandem asymmetric allylic etherification/Claisen rearrangement sequence. This provides critical insights into the fundamental pathways for the asymmetric allylic dearomatization of naphthols.

Deuterated compounds possess significant research value. As interest in chiral deuterated compounds intensifies, various deuteration methods are garnering increased attention. This article primarily reviews the asymmetric deuterium synthesis methods reported in recent years, focusing on the following strategies: one-step reductive deuteration, the series reaction of H/D exchange and asymmetric allylation, the [3+2] asymmetric cycloaddition of 1,3-dipoles and alkenes, asymmetric deuteration photocatalysis, asymmetric deuteration using organic catalysis, and asymmetric deuteration of chiral amino acids and their derivatives through biocatalysis.

A concise and efficient asymmetric total synthesis of bicyclic-THP-lactone natural products passifetilactone D and cryptorigidifoliol I and four of the stereoisomers of proposed cryptorigidifoliol B has been achieved, enabled by Maruoka/Reetz or Maruoka/Brown allylations and Ghosez lactonization. Although the required diastereomers of cryptorigidifoliol B are synthesized now, with the mismatch of data to that of the natural isolate, its actual structure could not be ascertained, indicating a need for further structure revision.

A novel palladium-catalyzed asymmetric aminomethylative pyridonation of conjugated dienes with -acetals and 2-hydroxypyridines was established, which provided a direct and reliable method for the synthesis of a wide range of γ-aminated N-substituted 2-pyridones with good to excellent enantioselectivities. The simple BF was identified as an effective cocatalyst to improve the reaction efficiency, and DFT calculations revealed that proton transfer between the aminomethylated allylic palladium species and 2-hydroxypyridine promoted by BF is crucial for obtaining good reactivity.

An designed benzodioxin fused analogue of a des-(1-hydroxyethyl)-lincomycin analogue was synthesized in a asymmetric fashion from an achiral acylfuran, a 4-(-Pr)--methyl-proline, and catechol. The synthesis of the 6-amino-galactose portion of the lincomycin analogue necessitated the development of a novel stereospecific tandem Pd-glycosylation/1,4-addition reaction between catechol and an -Cbz-protected 6-amino-pyranone with a Pd-π-allyl leaving group at the -1 position. The desired -stereochemistry was installed by a subsequent stereoselective ketone reduction, alcohol elimination, and diastereoselective dihydroxylation of the -3/4 alkene.

In this work, we developed nucleophilic 2-aminoallyl cations guided by DFT calculations. Computational insights enabled a comprehensive analysis of factors governing N-nucleophilicity and an accurate prediction of cycloaddition reactivity with electron-deficient alkenes. Notably, this study represents the first asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of amino-allyl cations with exocyclic double bonds, enabling the efficient synthesis of -pyrrolidines with excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities.
