Journal ArticleDOI

A Short, Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Strychnine

TL;DR: Strychnine has been synthesized by a short, highly stereocontrolled route that involves the efficient transformation of commercially available 2-nitrophenylacetonitrile into isostrychnin, a known precursor to strychnines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enantioselective Cyclopropanation of a Wide Variety of Olefins Catalyzed by Ru(II)-Pheox Complexes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the developed catalytic system effectively promotes the asymmetric cyclopropanation of a wide variety of olefins to produce the desiredcyclopropane products in high yields with excellent stereocontrol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly enantioselective chlorination of β-keto esters and subsequent S(N)2 displacement of tertiary chlorides: a flexible method for the construction of quaternary stereogenic centers.

TL;DR: The results of X-ray crystallographic analysis proved that Walden inversion occurs at the chlorinated tertiary carbon center and supported the fact that the substitution proceeds via an S(N)2 mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric inter- and intramolecular cyclopropanation reactions catalyzed by a reusable macroporous-polymer-supported chiral ruthenium(II)/phenyloxazoline complex.

TL;DR: It is concluded that all of the previously reported PSCCs depended on the polymeri-zation of a monomeric chiral ligand or the grafting of a chiralligand onto a polymeric support and subsequent complex-ation with a metal.
