An efficient and practical catalytic approach for the enantioselective synthesis of 3-substituted morpholines through a tandem sequential one-pot reaction employing both hydroamination and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions is described. Starting from ether-containing aminoalkyne substrates, a commercially available bis(amidate)bis(amido)Ti catalyst is utilized to yield a cyclic imine that is subsequently reduced using the Noyori-Ikariya catalyst, RuCl [(S,S)-Ts-DPEN] (η6-p-cymene), to afford chiral 3-substituted morpholines in good yield and enantiomeric excesses of >95%. A wide range of functional groups is tolerated. Substrate scope investigations suggest that hydrogen-bonding interactions between the oxygen in the backbone of the ether-containing substrate and the [(S,S)-Ts-DPEN] ligand of the Ru catalyst are crucial for obtaining high ee's. This insight led to a mechanistic proposal that predicts the observed absolute stereochemistry. Most importantly, this mechanistic insight allowed for the extension of this strategy to include N as an alternative hydrogen bond acceptor that could be incorporated into the substrate. Thus, the catalytic, enantioselective synthesis of 3-substituted piperazines is also demonstrated.

A novel amine oxidase (AO)/imine reductase (IRED) system was developed for the deracemization of racemic amines. By combining (R)-6-hydroxy-d-nicotine oxidase (6-HDNO) with an (R)-IRED, a panel of racemic 2-substituted piperidines and pyrrolidines were deracemized to yield the (S)-amines in high yields and enantiomeric excess values. Other N-heterocycles were deracemized with monoamine oxidase (MAO-N) or 6-HDNO in combination with ammonia borane, which allowed comparison of the two enzyme deracemization approaches with that involving a chemical reducing agent.

Gone, without a trace: The in situ reaction of 2-(acetoxymethyl)buta-2,3- dienoate and a secondary amine produces a 2-methylene-3-oxobutanoate equivalent that can be used in asymmetric [4+2] annulations with N-tosylimines to provide tetrahydropyridines in
