In this paper, we demonstrate the first examples of chiral Lewis acid catalysis in formation tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines with very high enantioselectivity starting diactivated cyclopropanes and nitrones (>90% yields ee). Reactions racemic substituted provide ∼1:1 diastereomeric tetrahydro-1,2-oxazine products enantioselectivity. Mechanistic information for is also detailed.

Abstract Herein, we present a unified chemical synthesis of three subgroups cephalotaxus diterpenoids. Key to the success lies in adopting synthetic strategy that is inspired by biosynthesis but opposite nature. By employing selective one‐carbon introduction and ring expansion operations, have successfully converted cephalotane‐type C 18 dinorditerpenoids (using cephanolide B as starting material) into troponoid‐type 19 norditerpenoids intact 20 This approach has enabled us synthesize...

We have developed a novel method for accessing exo adducts with high enantioselectivity in nitrone cycloadditions to enoates. Pyrazolidinones proved be effective achiral templates the cycloadditions, providing typically >15:1 selectivity and 90-98% ee. The use of Lewis acids that form square planar complexes, such as copper triflate, was important obtaining selectivity.
