Construction of Spiro[pyrrolidine‐3,3′‐oxindoles] − Recent Applications to the Synthesis of Oxindole Alkaloids
TL;DR: The spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3′-oxindole] ring system is found at the core of a number of alkaloids, which possess significant biological activity and are interesting, challenging targets for chemical synthesis as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Directed reduction of .beta.-hydroxy ketones employing tetramethylammonium triacetoxyborohydride
TL;DR: The mild reducing agent tetramethylammonium triacetoxyborohydride reduces acyclic P-hydroxy ketones to their corresponding anti diols with high diastereoselectivity as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantio- and Diastereodivergent Dual Catalysis: α-Allylation of Branched Aldehydes
TL;DR: A pair of chiral catalysts—an iridium complex and an amine—that operate in concert to facilitate carbon-carbon bond formation, while retaining independent stereoselectivity toward their respective sides of the bond are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile Enantioselective Synthesis of Propargylic Alcohols by Direct Addition of Terminal Alkynes to Aldehydes
Journal ArticleDOI
Chiral olefins as steering ligands in asymmetric catalysis.
TL;DR: This work highlights the increasing number of chiral chelating olefin ligands as well as their application in a variety of metal-catalyzed transformations.
