Enantiospecific Photochemical Norrish/Yang Type II Reaction of Nonbiaryl Atropchiral α-Oxoamides in Solution—Axial to Point Chirality Transfer

TLDR
Alpha-oxoamides 1 with o-tert-butyl substitution on the N-phenyl moiety were found to be stable axially chiral atropisomers and undergo enantiospecific photochemical gamma-Hydrogen abstraction in CHCl(3) to yield beta-lactams with high enantioselectivity.
Abstract
Alpha-oxoamides 1 with o-tert-butyl substitution on the N-phenyl moiety were found to be stable axially chiral atropisomers. These axially chiral alpha-oxoamides undergo enantiospecific photochemical gamma-Hydrogen abstraction in CHCl(3) to yield beta-lactams with high enantioselectivity (e.r. approximately 90:10) in solution. The extent of enantioselectivity was found to be dependent on the reaction temperature.

Atroposelective Catalytic Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation Reaction for Axially Chiral Anilides with Achiral Morita–Baylis–Hillman Carbonates

TL;DR: A broad range of axially chiral anilide products with different acyl groups, such as substituted phenyl, naphthyl, alkyl, enyl, styryl, and benzyl, were generated with very good yields, moderate to excellent cis: trans ratios, and good to excellent enantioselectivities.
