The Journal of Organic Chemistry 2023, 88, 12776-12782. (DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.3c01554)

The reductive coupling of alkyl or benzylic benzothiazole sulfones with arylacetylenes are performed in the presence of Hantzsch esters and K2CO3 under visible-light irradiation. The utility of this protocol is expanded to α-deuterative coupling using a deuterated Hantzsch ester, furnishing the corresponding alkenes with high deuterium incorporation.

Tetrahedron Letters 2022, 107, 154109. (DOI: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2022.154109)

The first total synthesis of antiplasmodial isoindolinone alkaloids, spirocollequins A and B, has been accomplished. The proposed structures of spirocollequins have been supported through the comparison of spectroscopic properties of the synthetic samples with those of natural products as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis using a synthetic precursor of spirocollequin B.

Copper sulfate-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of amido-functionalized allylboronates to maleimides in water
Tetsuya Sengoku, Takuto Kajihara, Mari Inaba and Hidemi Yoda
Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry  2022, 11, e202100773. (DOI: 10.1002/ajoc.202100773) 

A new application of amido-functionalized allylboronates to asymmetric 1,4-addition in water has been developed. Extremely high enantioselective 1,4-addition was achieved by employing N-mesityl maleimide as a substrate under CuSO4/bis(oxazoline) catalysis, affording the adduct with >99% ee.

Tetrahedron,  2020, 76, 131252. (DOI: 10.1016/j.tet.2020.131252) 

Hydroxylactams prepared from N-carbonyl phthalimides and β-amido functionalized allylboronates underwent ring opening-asymmetric reclosure in the presence of catalytic amounts of MgBr2 and a chiral aminophenol to afford the corresponding N,O-spirocyclic compounds in excellent yields and high enantioselectivities.

Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, 2020362, 2397-2418. (DOI: 10.1002/adsc.202000195)

Enantioselective reaction of water‐stable amido‐functionalized allylboronates with acetophenone derivatives in water is reported. The reaction was catalyzed with zinc hydroxide and a didecylamino‐functionalized chiral aminophenol reagent, affording a variety of homoallylic alcohols in up to 99% yield. The enantiomeric excess of the product reached up to 98%.
