RESUMEN
Herein, we present a highly enantioselective desymmetrization of 3-substituted oxetanes enabled by a confined chiral phosphoric acid. This metal-free process allows effective access to chiral seven-membered 1,4-benzoxazepines with a high degree of enantiocontrol, under mild reaction conditions. The developed synthetic strategy tolerates a broad substrate scope and demonstrates its synthetic utility in various enantioselective product transformations, thus proving its effectiveness in diverse scenarios.
RESUMEN
Herein, we report the first chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-catalyzed asymmetric addition of α-fluoro(phenylsulfonyl)methane (FSM) derivatives to in situ generated cyclic N-acyliminium. This process enables metal-free expeditious access to sulfone and fluorine incorporating contiguous all substituted quaternary stereocenters ingrained in biorelevant isoindolinones in excellent stereoselectivities (up to 99% ee and up to 50 : 1 dr).

Herein, we describe a versatile transition metal/oxidant free synthesis of the chiral 2H-1,4-benzoxazines through chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization of prochiral oxetanes (30 examples) in up to 99% yield and 99% enantioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. The reported strategy not only complements the conventional 2H-1,4-benzoxazine synthetic strategies but also provides access to key intermediates of therapeutic candidates, i.e., prostaglandin D2 receptor antagonist and M1 positive allosteric modulator (PAM) compound VU0486846.
