Abstract:
Multi-centric ambident 2-hydroxy-3,5-dialkyl-p-quinones selectively reacted with α-alkylnitroethylenes under a low-loading of (1.0 mol% to 500 ppm) Rawal's quinine-squaramide-catalyst, followed by in situ acid-catalysed tert-hydroxy group acetylation to construct high-yielding chiral bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes in up to single dr and er through [3 + 2]-annulations under ambient conditions. These kinds of rare low organocatalyst-loading, asymmetric, one-pot, gram-scale annulations will be highly inspirational to plan a greater number of low-loading organocatalytic asymmetric reactions in both academia and industry. Additionally, bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes are basic skeletons of many natural products and drugs, which highlights the importance of developing the present catalytic asymmetric protocol for the synthesis of both achiral and chiral versions of functionally rich bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes.

02:36Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn...

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...
