Axially Chiral Dibenzazepinones by a Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Atropo-enantioselective C-H Arylation

Matthew Wodrich, Nicolai Cramer, Christopher Gordon Newton, Elena Braconi, Jennifer Kuziola

Atropo‐enantioselective C−H functionalization reactions are largely limited to the dynamic kinetic resolution of biaryl substrates through the introduction of steric bulk proximal to the axis of chirality. Reported herein is a highly atropo‐enantioselectiv ...

Catalytic Enantioselective Transformations Involving C-H Bond Cleavage by Transition-Metal Complexes

Nicolai Cramer, Christopher Gordon Newton, Shouguo Wang, Caio Costa Oliveira

The development of new methods for the direct functionalization of unactivated C-H bonds is ushering in a paradigm shift in the field of retrosynthetic analysis. In particular, the catalytic enantioselective functionalization of C-H bonds represents a high ...

One-Step Multigram-Scale Biomimetic Synthesis of Psiguadial B

Matthew Wodrich, Nicolai Cramer, Duc Tran Ngoc, Christopher Gordon Newton

A gram-scale synthesis of psiguadial B, a purported inhibitor of human hepatoma cell growth, has been achieved in one step by a biomimetic three-component coupling of caryophyllene, benzaldehyde, and diformylphloroglucinol. This cascade reaction is catalyz ...

Asymmetric Catalysis Powered by Chiral Cyclopentadienyl Ligands

Nicolai Cramer, David Kossler, Christopher Gordon Newton

Application of chiral derivatives of the versatile and ubiquitous cyclopentadienyl ligand has long remained an underdeveloped area in asymmetric catalysis. In this Perspective we highlight recent exciting results that demonstrate their enormous potential. ...

Masked Ketenes as Dienophiles in the Diels-Alder Reaction

Christopher Gordon Newton

The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most powerful, well-established, and versatile reactions in organic chemistry; however, its application in certain settings remains a challenge as a result of functional group incompatibility. In this review, we exami ...
