Abstract
A stereoselective methodology for the synthesis of highly substituted spiropyrrolidines via synergistic catalysis was developed. The transformation is based on a cooperative catalytic system combining chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalysis with achiral palladium catalysis and proceeds through a formal [3+2] cycloaddition of activated vinylcyclopropanes with aldimines derived from imidazolones. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a broad range of spiropyrrolidines were obtained in good combined yields (up to 83%), with high diastereoselectivities (up to 1:12 dr) and enantioselectivities reaching 99% ee. The developed methodology tolerates various substitutions on both of the reaction partners. Furthermore, selected synthetic transformations demonstrated the utility of the obtained spiropyrrolidines for further derivatization while retaining the enantiomeric purity. This work highlights the potential of synergistic CPA/transition-metal catalysis for the efficient construction of structurally complex chiral spiropyrrolidine scaffolds.
ABSTRACT Chiral spirocyclopropyl heterocycles have emerged as privileged three‐dimensional structural motifs in medicinal chemistry. Nevertheless, efficient catalytic enantioselective assembly of such compounds still faces considerable synthetic difficulties. Herein, we describe a rhodium‐mediated asymmetric [2+1] cycl...

Pnictogen-bonding catalysis has emerged as a promising tool for noncovalent transformations; however, its application in asymmetric catalysis remains in its infancy, largely due to the scarcity of efficient chiral catalysts and activating modes. Herein, we report a new class of chiral antimony catalysts featuring stron...

Catalytic asymmetric approaches to enantioenriched organogermanium compounds remain severely underdeveloped. Herein, we report a CuOAc-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogermylation of 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes, which furnishes structurally diverse chiral organogermanes in high to excellent diastereo- and enantiosel...

7-membered spirobenzazepinoindole frameworks constitute an important family of heterocyclic skeletons with broad utility in pharmaceutical research. Despite their value, the stereoselective synthetic routes toward chiral gem-difluorinated spirobenzazepinoindoles remain unexplored, and a general, efficient constructio...

Heterohelicenes combine helical chirality with tunable electronic properties, making them attractive for applications in chiral materials and optoelectronics. However, their enantioselective synthesis, particularly for five-membered heterohelicenes, remains a long-standing challenge owing to the inherent synthetic di...
Enantioselective carboamination of allenes especially in conjunction with 3D-metal catalysis remains a significant challenge. We report chiral cyclopentadienyl cobaltIII-catalyzed regio-, chemo-, and enantioselective intermolecular C–H carboamination of racemic allenyl esters with N-phenoxyisobutyramides. The protocol...
