Copper-catalyzed highly enantioselective cyclopentannulation of indoles with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes.
TL;DR: A highly diastereo- and enantioselective BOX/Cu(II)-catalyzed C2,C3-cyclopentannulation of indoles with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with asymmetric formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition of indole products has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Side arm strategy for catalyst design: modifying bisoxazolines for remote control of enantioselection and related.
Saihu Liao,Xiu-Li Sun,Yong Tang +2 more
TL;DR: The works by us and other groups have demonstrated that the side arm strategy can be employed as a general principle for ligand and catalyst design and should not be limited to the BOX scaffolds and the reactions described in this Account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of H2O2 by Chiral Confined Brønsted Acids: A Highly Enantioselective Catalytic Sulfoxidation
TL;DR: Confined chiral Brønsted acids are shown to catalyze asymmetric oxidations of sulfides to sulfoxides with hydrogen peroxide, suggesting utility in other asymmetric oxidation systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric Counteranion‐Directed Transition‐Metal Catalysis: Enantioselective Epoxidation of Alkenes with Manganese(III) Salen Phosphate Complexes
Saihu Liao,Benjamin List +1 more
TL;DR: A highly enantioselective epoxidation of olefins that is catalyzed by a chiral ion pair consisting of an achiral Mn–salen cation and a chirl phosphate counteranion, which may lead to a new type of chiral Mn-salen catalyst with unique properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric Annulation of Donor–Acceptor Cyclopropanes with Dienes
TL;DR: An efficient [4 + 3] cycloaddition reaction of D-A cyclopropanes with dienes has been successfully developed, delivering a variety of cycloheptenes and [n,5,0]carbobicycles with excellent stereoselectivity.
