γ-Lactam containing α,β-contiguous stereogenic centers stands out as a pivotal motif in various bioactive compounds, while its efficient synthesis still needs to be enhanced. Herein, an asymmetric C-H activation strategy for accessing α,β-stereospecific γ-lactams in good yields (≤79%) with high enantio- and diastereoselectivities (≤96% ee and >20:1 dr) was described, which serves as an effective supplement to the existing strategies.
Copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of amino acid-derived amides with (Z)-vinyl iodides: Unexpected solvent effect and preparation of plocabulin

A copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of amino acid-derived amides and (Z)-vinyl iodide was studied to improve a key step in the synthesis of plocabulin, a novel microtubule destabilizer agent of marine origin. The study revealed a profound solvent effect with 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), which gave consistently high yields across a large variety of the amide and (Z)-vinyl iodide substrates. The protocol was successfully utilized in the preparation of plocabulin and provided a significantly improved yield.

2-Aryl-1-sulfonyl-substituted cyclobutanes were prepared in an intermolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition from various α,β-unsaturated sulfones and olefins upon irradiation at λ = 300 nm (26 examples, 60-99% yield). Lewis acids catalyzed the [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of 2-benzimidazolyl styryl sulfones. At short wavelengths, the latter substrates underwent C-S bond cleavage but AlBr3 (5 mol %) allowed for an intermolecular reaction with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene at longer wavelengths. A chiral-at-metal Lewis acid (2 mol %) facilitated an enantioselective reaction (up to 77% ee).
