A Non-Heme Iron(III) Complex with Porphyrin-like Properties That Catalyzes Asymmetric Epoxidation

In this report, we describe an iron­(III) complex containing a carbazole-based tridentate ligand that catalyzes highly enantioselective asymmetric epoxidation of (<i>E</i>)-alkenes at room temperature. The non-heme iron­(III) complex has a five-coordinated trigonal-bipyramidal structure, and its two-electron oxidized state has the similar electronic structure as that of iron porphyrins

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)-Colletoic Acid via Catalytic Asymmetric Intramolecular Cyclopropanation of an α‑Diazo-β-keto Diphenylphosphine Oxide

The enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-colletoic acid, a potent naturally occurring 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) inhibitor, is described. This total synthesis features a highly enantioselective catalytic asymmetric intramolecular cyclopropanation of an α-diazo-β-keto diphenylphosphine oxide and five highly stereoselective reactions (cyclopropane opening, Diels–Alder reaction, iodolactonization, alkene formation, and reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid)

Enantioselective Approach to Polycyclic Polyprenylated Acylphloroglucinols via Catalytic Asymmetric Intramolecular Cyclopropanation

The formal enantioselective total synthesis of nemorosone, garsubellin A, clusianone, and hyperforin is described. The catalytic asymmetric intramolecular cyclopropanation (CAIMCP) of an α-diazo ketone, a common synthetic intermediate for the above four polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols previously reported by us, exhibited low enantioselectivity. However, CAIMCP of the corresponding α-diazo β-keto sulfone afforded the desired product in 79% yield with 84% ee. Investigation of the CAIMCP of the α-diazo β-keto sulfone demonstrated the formation of a rearrangement product in the presence of molecular sieves 4 Å, whereas, in the presence of H₂O, the byproduct derived from ring-opening of the desired cyclopropane was observed. X-ray crystallographic analysis suggested that the above two products are derived from the same chiral intermediate. The product derived from ring-opening of the cyclopropane was successfully transformed to the respective synthetic intermediates for the total syntheses of nemorosone, garsubellin A, clusianone, and hyperforin, which had previously been reported by us

The highly stereoselective total synthesis of nemorosone via a new approach to the bicyclo[3.3.1]­nonane-2,4,9-trione core which features intramolecular cyclopropanation of an α-diazo ketone, stereoselective alkylation at the C8 position, and regioselective ring-opening of cyclopropane is described. The total synthesis of nemorosone includes chemo- and stereoselective hydrogenation directed by the internal alkene
