Abstract
The asymmetric catalytic synthesis of 1,2-diamines has received considerable interest, especially in the last ten years, due to their presence in biologically active compounds and their applications for the development of synthetic building blocks, chiral ligands and organocatalysts. Synthetic strategies based on C-N bond-forming reactions involve mainly (a) ring opening of aziridines and azabenzonorbornadienes, (b) hydroamination of allylic amines, (c) hydroamination of enamines and (d) diamination of olefins. In the case of C-C bond-forming reactions are included (a) the aza-Mannich reaction of imino esters, imino nitriles, azlactones, isocyano acetates, and isothiocyanates with imines, (b) the aza-Henry reaction of nitroalkanes with imines, (c) imine-imine coupling reactions, and (d) reductive coupling of enamines with imines, and (e) [3+2] cycloaddition with imines. C-H bond forming reactions include hydrogenation of CN bonds and C-H amination reactions. Other catalytic methods include desymmetrization reactions of meso-diamines.

Abstract
The first enantioselective reaction of α-isocyanoacetonitriles was developed. The reaction of various α-isocyanoacetonitriles with ketimines using cinchona alkaloid amide-Cu(II) catalysts afforded imidazolines with consecutive tetrasubstituted stereogenic carbon centers in good yields and high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The stereoselectivity of the reaction is explained on the basis of the control experiment and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The products were subsequently converted into chiral compounds. This process highlights the possible use of α-isocyanoacetonitriles for asymmetric and organic syntheses.

Secondary Orbital Effect Involving Fluorine is Responsible for Substrate-Controlled Diastereodivergence in the Catalyzed syn-aza-Henry Reaction of α-Fluoronitroalkanes. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202204066. [PMID: 36607705 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202204066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
The fluorine atom is a powerful, yet enigmatic influence on chemical reactions. True to form, fluorine was recently discovered to effect diastereodivergence in an enantioselective aza-Henry reaction, resulting in a very rare case of syn-β-amino nitroalkane products. More bewildering was the observation of an apparent hierarchy of substituents within this substrate-controlled behavior: Ph>F>alkyl. These cases have now been examined comprehensively by computational methods, including both non-fluorinated and α-fluoro nitronate additions to aldimines catalyzed by a chiral bis(amidine) [BAM] proton complex. This study revealed the network of non-covalent interactions that dictate anti- (α-aryl) versus syn-selectivity (α-alkyl) using α-fluoronitronate nucleophiles, and an underlying secondary orbital interaction between fluorine and the activated azomethine.

Abstract
The first enantioselective Pictet-Spengler reaction of acyclic α-ketoesters with tryptamines has been developed. Excellent yields and enantioselectivity were obtained for the reaction using chiral imidazoline-phosphoric acid catalysts. Density functional theory calculations suggested possible transition states that explain the origin of chiral induction. This process provides an efficient route for the synthesis of tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives.
