Abstract:
Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of N-formyl-6-[3-(2-iodophenyl)propyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (1a) and N-formyl-6-[2-(2-iodophenyl)ethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (1b) in the presence of AsPh(3) resulted in formation of the spiro compounds N-formyl-3,3',4,4'-tetrahydrospiro[naphthalene-1(2H),2'(1'H)-pyridine] (2a) and N-formyl-3',4'-dihydrospiro[indan-1,2'(1'H)-pyridine] (2b), respectively, and in the presence of PPh(3) and TlOAc in the spiro compounds N-formyl-3,4,5',6'-tetrahydrospiro[naphthalene-1(2H),2'(1'H)-pyridine] (3a) and N-formyl-5',6'-dihydrospiro[indan-1,2'(1'H)-pyridine] (3b), respectively. Cyclization of N-formyl-6-(3-{2-[(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)oxy]phenyl}propyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (7) in presence of a chiral (phosphinoaryl)oxazoline ((S)-8) resulted in formation of (R)-3a and (R)-N-formyl-1',3,4,6'-tetrahydrospiro[naphthalene-1(2H),2'(3'H)-pyridine] ((R)-6a) in high enantiomeric excesses, 87% and >99%, respectively, and in good yield. The oxazoline ligand (S)-8 furnished higher enantiomeric excesses and improved regioselectivities than (R)-BINAP.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
