3,3‘-Bimorpholine Derivatives as a New Class of Organocatalysts for Asymmetric Michael Addition

TL;DR: New N-alkyl-3,3'-bimorpholine derivatives (iPBM) were revealed to be efficient organocatalysts for the asymmetric direct Michael addition of aldehydes to nitroolefins and a vinyl sulfone, with good to high levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enantioselective Henry Reaction Catalyzed by CuII Salt and Bipiperidine

TL;DR: A complex derived from the enantiomeric bipiperidine and copper(II) acetate hydrate is an efficient catalyst for theEnantioselective Henry reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of 3-chlorooxindoles bearing adjacent quaternary-tertiary centers.

TL;DR: This is the first example where 3-chloroxoindoles 1 have been used as nucleophiles in a highly stereoselective organocatalytic reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation of Cyclobutanones.

TL;DR: The asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of racemic cyclobutanones 1, 2, and 3 under Sharpless oxidation conditions resulted in enantiomeric lactones 5 ee 34, 6 ee 53, 7 ee 75% and 8 40% ee respectively as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

3-Chlorooxindoles: versatile starting materials for asymmetric organocatalytic synthesis of spirooxindoles

TL;DR: 3-Chlorooxoindoles have emerged as versatile precursors in the synthesis of spirocyclopropyl oxindoles with high enantio- and diastereoselectivity under conditions of both iminium/enamine and H-bonding catalysis.
