Modified amino acids are useful synthetic components in both chemistry and biology. Here we describe a simple, scalable two-step procedure to generate α-thio aromatic acids from aromatic amino acids with yields of up to 96%. Diazotization and α-lactone me

This work reports the first application of diarylthiazolidin-2,4-diones as nucleophiles in asymmetric catalysis. By utilizing chiral amino acid-based (thio)urea-tertiary amines as the catalysts, we successively established asymmetric conjugate addition to nitroolefins and sulfenylation to N-(sulfanyl)-succinimides of diarylthiazolidin-2,4-diones. Two series of biologically important 5-aryl-5-substituted thiazolidin-2,4-diones were obtained with high enantio- and diastereoselectivities (up to >99% ee and >19:1 dr). The enantioenriched adducts were found to show satisfactory anticancer activities against three different cancer cell lines using the MTT assay. All of these successes depended on the development of a general and expedient synthetic strategy to provide diverse 5H-thiazolidin-2,4-diones.

Reported here is a terminal-selective, remote asymmetric hydroalkylation of olefins with racemic α-bromo amides. The reaction proceeds by NiH-catalyzed alkene isomerization and subsequent alkylation reaction, and can enantioconvergently introduce an unsymmetrical secondary alkyl group from a racemic α-bromo amide onto a terminal C(sp3)?H position along the hydrocarbon chain of the alkene. This mild process affords a range of structurally diverse chiral α-alkylalkanoic amides in excellent yields, and high regio- and enantioselectivities. In addition, the synthetic utility of this protocol is further highlighted by the regioconvergent conversion of industrial raw materials of isomeric olefin mixtures into enantioriched α-alkylalkanoic amides on large scale.

The first cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective Negishi cross-coupling reaction, and the first arylation of α-halo esters with arylzinc halides, are disclosed. Employing a cobalt-bisoxazoline catalyst, various α-arylalkanoic esters were synthesized in excellent enantioselectivities and yields (up to 97 % ee and 98 % yield). A diverse range of functional groups, including ether, halide, thioether, silyl, amine, ester, acetal, amide, olefin and heteroaromatics is tolerated by this method. This method was suitable for gram-scale reactions, enabling the synthesis of (R)-xanthorrhizol with high enantiopurity. Radical clock experiments support the intermediacy of radicals.
