Journal ArticleDOI
Accelerating Spirocyclic Polyketide Synthesis using Flow Chemistry
Sean Newton,Catherine F. Carter,Colin M. Pearson,Leandro de C. Alves,Heiko Lange,Praew Thansandote,Steven V. Ley +6 more
TL;DR: A number of novel flow-through processes for reactions commonly encountered in natural product synthesis programs are developed to achieve the first total synthesis of spirodienal A and the preparation of spirangien A methyl ester.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Regio- and Stereodivergent Synthesis of Homoallylic Amines by a One-Pot Cooperative-Catalysis-Based Allylic Alkylation/Hofmann Rearrangement Strategy.
TL;DR: A modular synthetic route to linear and branched homoallylic amines that operates via a sequential one-pot Lewis base/transition metal catalyzed allylic alkylation/Hofmann rearrangement strategy that enables all aspects of regio- and stereoselectivity to be controlled via a conserved experimental protocol is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traversing Steric Limitations by Cooperative Lewis Base/Palladium Catalysis: An Enantioselective Synthesis of α-Branched Esters Using 2-Substituted Allyl Electrophiles
TL;DR: Cooperative catalysis enables the direct enantioselective α-allylation of linear prochiral esters with 2-substituted allyl electrophiles through the recognition that metal-centered reactivity and the source of enantiocontrol are independent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkene Photo-Isomerization Inspired by Vision
TL;DR: The riboflavincatalyzed E → Z photo-isomerization of functionalized cinnamonitriles is described, an approach inspired by ocular retinal isomerization that is of continuing interest and importance to develop conceptually innovative methods for their synthesis.
