Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclobutane and cyclobutene synthesis: catalytic enantioselective [2+2] cycloadditions.
TL;DR: The advances made in catalytic enantioselective [2+2] cycloadditions to access cyclobutanes and cyclobutenes are described in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling of Boronic Esters with Aryl Iodides and Application to the Carboboration of Alkynes and Allenes
TL;DR: Copper-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura-type cross-coupling and carboboration processes are reported, which provide access to highly substituted and stereodefined vinyl boronic esters and are highlighted in the simple one-pot synthesis of Tamoxifen.
Journal ArticleDOI
All‐Carbon Quaternary Stereogenic Centers by Enantioselective Cu‐Catalyzed Conjugate Additions Promoted by a Chiral N‐Heterocyclic Carbene
Journal ArticleDOI
A Practical Method for Enantioselective Synthesis of All-Carbon Quaternary Stereogenic Centers through NHC-Cu-Catalyzed Conjugate Additions of Alkyl- and Arylzinc Reagents to β-Substituted Cyclic Enones
TL;DR: This work presents the first examples of Cu-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate additions of alkyl- and arylzinc reagents to unactivated cyclic beta-substituted enones, affording the desired products bearing all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers in 67-->98% yield and in up to 97% ee.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly site- and enantioselective Cu-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions with easily accessible vinylaluminum reagents.
TL;DR: An efficient method for catalytic asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of allylic phosphates with vinylaluminum reagents is reported, and the hydroalumination/catalytic AAA sequence can be performed in a single vessel, on gram scale.
