Journal ArticleDOI
A Journey Across Recent Advances in Catalytic and Stereoselective Alkylation of Indoles
TL;DR: In this paper, the results in relation to the catalytic and stereoselective Friedel-Crafts (FC) alkylation of indoles are described and the emerging area of catalytic asymmetric FC processes is addressed and some examples of enanti-selective alkylations of indole via 1,4-additionto α,β-un-saturated systems and asymmetric ring-opening reaction of aromatic epoxides are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Tetrahydro-β-Carbolines and Tetrahydro-γ-Carbolines Via Pd-Catalyzed Intramolecular Allylic Alkylation
Marco Bandini,Alfonso Melloni,Fabio Piccinelli,Riccardo Sinisi,Simona Tommasi,Achille Umani‐Ronchi +5 more
TL;DR: A novel Pd-catalyzed intramolecular allylic alkylation of indoles allows THBCs and THGCs to be effectively synthesized in high yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly enantioselective nitroaldol reaction catalyzed by new chiral copper complexes
TL;DR: Good levels of stereoinduction are recorded for a range of aldehydes and the possibility to employ the present catalytic system as the key step for the preparation of highly functionalized tetrahydro-isoquinolines is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innovative Catalytic Protocols for the Ring‐Closing Friedel–Crafts‐Type Alkylation and Alkenylation of Arenes
TL;DR: In particular, both transition metal and conventional and unusual Lewis acids (LAs) have been described to promote ring-closing reactions even in the presence of polyfunctionalized cyclization precursors as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
New chiral diamino-bis(tert-thiophene): an effective ligand for Pd- and Zn-catalyzed asymmetric transformations
Marco Bandini,Manuela Melucci,Fabio Piccinelli,Riccardo Sinisi,Simona Tommasi,Achille Umani‐Ronchi +5 more
TL;DR: Enantiomerically pure diamino-bis(tert-thiophene) proved to be a valuable and flexible chiral ligand for Pd- and Zn-catalyzed transformations, allowing for high levels of stereocontrol in asymmetric allylic alkylation and hydrosilylations of prochiral carbonyls.
