Asymmetric catalysis represents a very powerful tool for the synthesis of enantiopure compounds. In this context the main focus has been directed not only to the search for new efficient chiral catalysts, but also to the development of efficient pronucleophiles. This review highlights the utility and first examples of 1H-imidazol-4(5H)-ones and thiazol-4(5H)-ones as pronucleophiles in catalytic asymmetric reactions.

Oxaziridines have emerged as powerful and elegant oxygen- and nitrogen-transfer agents for a broad array of nucleophiles, due to the remarkably high and tunable reactivities. However, the asymmetric catalysis involving oxaziridines is still in its infancy. Herein, this review aims to examine recent advances in the catalytic asymmetric transformations of oxaziridines, including oxidation, amination, cycloaddition and deracemization.

Reductive alkylation of (R)-(+)-2,2'-diamino-1,1'-binaphthyl (1) with various ketones has been accomplished by means of NaBH4/H2SO4 in THF at room temperature. Bisalkylation predominated with the sterically less demanding acetone (1→3a; 82%), whereas the bulky 2-adamantanone afforded mainly the monoalkylated product 4c (71%). Both mono- and bisalkylated diamines (R)-3 and (R)-4 were reductively permethylated on reaction with CH2O, NaBH4, and H2SO4. The Pd(0)-catalyzed phenylation of (R)-(+)-1 with PhBr afforded the N,N'-diphenyl derivative (R)-7 (70%).
