ortho-Selective Dearomative [2π + 2σ] Photocycloadditions of Bicyclic Aza-Arenes.
Roman Kleinmans,Subhabrata Dutta,Kristers Ozols,Huilin Shao,Felix Schäfer,Constantin G. Daniliuc,Kendall N. Houk,Frank Glorius +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , an ortho-selective intermolecular photocycloaddition of bicyclic aza-arenes including quinazolines, quinoxalines, and quinioxalines was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Torsional Effects Cause Attack at Sterically Crowded Concave Faces of Bicyclic Alkenes.
TL;DR: In this article, Gais et al. used density functional theory (DFT) to study cycloadditions of 1,3-dipoles and related species to a cis-oxabicyclo[3.3.0] octenone.

Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Asymmetric anti-Mannich-Type Reactions Catalyzed by a Designed Amino Acid.
Susumu Mitsumori,Haile Zhang,Paul Ha-Yeon Cheong,Kendall N. Houk,Fujie Tanaka,Carlos F. Barbas +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the development of catalysts for Mannich-type reactions that afford anti-products with excellent diastereo-and enantioselectivities under mild conditions and low catalyst loadings (1-5 mol %) is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Allylic Sulfoxides by Rh-Catalyzed Hydrogenation: A Combined Theoretical and Experimental Mechanistic Study.
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of allylic sulfoxides has been demonstrated by combining the Mislow [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement with catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation.
