Tetrahydroquinolines (THQs) with an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter were effectively obtained via the in situ formation of aza-ortho-xylylene (AOX) with easily accessible 1,2-dihydroquinolines as precursors.

An exceedingly short and enantioselective synthesis of the antiepileptic drug (S)-levetiracetam was elaborated. As the chirogenic key step a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric N-allylation of methyl 4-aminobutyrate was achieved in the presence of only 1 mol% of a catalyst prepared in situ from [Pd(allyl)Cl]2 and the tartaric acid-derived C2-symmetric diphosphane ligand (S,S)-iPr-MediPhos).

In order to circumvent reactivity or selectivity issues associated with the addition of enolates to electrophiles, chemists have devised innovative methods involving transient activating groups. One of these powerful methods consists of the use of activated ketones, such as α-nitroketones, β-dicarbonyl compounds or β-ketosulfones, with electrophiles possessing a latent hydroxy or amine function. In the presence of a suitable catalyst, an enantioselective addition to the electrophile is facilitated triggering a subsequent Claisen-type fragmentation resulting in an acyl transfer. This subsequent step unveils the desired mono-activated function while directly transferring the ketone, forming in situ on the other side an ester or an amide.1 Introduction2 Intramolecular Acyl Transfer with Acyclic Substrates2.1 Bifunctional Catalysis2.2 Aminocatalysis3 Intermolecular Acyl Transfer with Acyclic Substrates4 Medium-Sized-Ring Formation with Cyclic Substrates5 Conclusion

The oxyanion derived from hydroxyacrylate E-(5) undergoes smooth intramolecular Michael addition to give the trans-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran (7) as the major product of reaction. In contrast, the oxyanion obtained from isomer Z-(5) cyclizes to give the cis-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran (6) as the major product. Such chemistry has been extended to the enantioselective synthesis of (+)-(6) the acquisition of which constitutes a formal total synthesis of acid (+)-(2), a constituent of the glandular secretion from the civet cat (Viverra civetta). Reductive amination of keto acrylate (12) affords an intermediate amine which cyclizes, in situ, to give the cis-2,6-disubstituted piperidine (26). Analogous treatment of compound (13) delivers the isomeric trans-2,6-disubstituted piperidine (27) as the exclusive product of reaction. Transition state structures have been proposed to account for the diastereoselectivities observed in all of the cyclization reactions.
