We have demonstrated that small, modular, tetrameric peptides featuring the Lewis-basic residue β-dimethylaminoalanine (Dmaa) are capable of atroposelectively coupling naphthols and ester-bearing quinones to yield non-C2-symmetric BINOL-type scaffolds with good yields and enantioselectivity. The study culminates in the asymmetric synthesis of backbone-substituted scaffolds similar to 3,3′-disubstituted BINOLs, such as (R)-TRIP, with good (94:6 e.r.) to excellent (>99.9:0.1 e.r.) enantioselectivity after recrystallization, and a diastereoselective net arylation of the minimally modified nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) naproxen.

The rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric ring opening reaction of oxabicyclic alkenes is shown to be an efficient method for synthesizing chiral heterocycles. We demonstrate that the pairwise combination of chiral catalyst with chiral amino-acid-derived pronucleophiles results in a stereodivergent synthesis of diastereomeric hydroxyesters. A favorable conformational preference induces the subsequent lactonization of one diastereomer leading to the highly enantioselective synthesis of oxazinones.

We report the development of a new class of guanidine-containing peptides as multifunctional ligands for transition-metal catalysis and its application in the remote desymmetrization of diarylmethanes via copper-catalyzed Ullman cross-coupling. Through design of these peptides, high levels of enantioinduction and good isolated yields were achieved in the long-range asymmetric cross-coupling (up to 93:7 er and 76% yield) between aryl bromides and malonates. Our mechanistic studies suggest that distal stereocontrol is achieved through a Cs-bridged interaction between the Lewis-basic C-terminal carboxylate of the peptides with the distal arene of the substrate.
