Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydroquinazolinones through Intramolecular Amidation of Imines

Enantioselective synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolinones (DHQZs) was accomplished using readily available Sc(III)-<i>inda</i>-pybox as the catalyst. This is the first report on the metal catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular amidation of imines to synthesize DHQZs

Palladium Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylation of 3‑OBoc-Oxindoles: An Efficient Synthesis of 3‑Allyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles

3-Allyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles were synthesized in very good enantio- (up to 97% ee) and diastereoselectivities (dr up to 7.6:1) with contiguous quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers by employing tartrate derived bi­(oxazoline) in Pd-catalyzed allylation of 3-OBoc-oxindole. Synthetic utility of 3-allyl-3-hydroxyoxindole was demonstrated by synthesizing a highly substituted spiro­(oxindole-3,2′-tetra­hydro­furan) derivative in good yield and stereoselectivity
