Stereoselective Synthesis of 4-Substituted Cyclic Sulfamidate-5-Phosphonates by Using Rh-Catalyzed, Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation with Accompanying Dynamic Kinetic Resolution.

Dynamic kinetic resolution driven, asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of 4-substituted cyclic sulfamidate imine-5-phosphonates produces the corresponding cyclic sulfamidate-5-phosphonates. The process employs a HCO2H/Et3N mixture as the hydrogen source and the chiral Rh catalysts, (R,R)- or (S,S)-Cp*RhCl(TsDPEN), and it takes place at room temperature within 1 h with high yields and high levels of stereoselectivity.

Stereoselective synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted isoindolines via Rh(III)-catalyzed tandem oxidative olefination-cyclization of 4-aryl cyclic sulfamidates.

Rh(III)-catalyzed tandem ortho C-H olefination of cyclic 4-aryl sulfamidates (1) and subsequent intramolecular cyclization are described. This reaction serves as a method for the direct and stereoselective synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted isoindolines (3) starting with enantiomerically enriched 4-aryl cyclic sulfamidates. In this process, the configurational integrity of the stereogenic center in the starting cyclic sulfamidate is completely retained. In addition, the process generates trans-1,3-disubstituted isoindolines exclusively.

Stereoselective synthesis of 4-substituted-cyclic sulfamidate-5-carboxylates by asymmetric transfer hydrogenation accompanied by dynamic kinetic resolution and applications to concise stereoselective syntheses of (-)-epi-cytoxazone and the taxotere side-chain.

Dynamic kinetic resolution driven, asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions of cyclic sulfamidate imine-5-carboxylate esters were developed. Applications of the new methodology to stereoselective syntheses of the taxotere side-chain and (-)-epi-cytoxazone are described.
