    We developed a new synthetic approach for sequence-controlled polymers through a 1 : 1 addition reaction, living anionic addition reaction (LAAR) of 1,1-diphenylethylene (DPE) derivatives and acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization. Divinyl-functionalized sequence-controlled BAAB-type oligomers were synthesized in high yield by sequentially reacting potassium naphthalenide (K-Naph) with 1,1-bis(4-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxyphenyl)ethylene (OSi, A), DPE (H, B), and an alkyl halide possessing a vinyl group in one pot. Five covalent bonds were quantitatively formed during the reactions, so the desired symmetrical oligomers were easily isolated without tedious purification such as column chromatography. The following ADMET polymerization of the resulting divinyl-functionalized oligomer gave the sequence-controlled polymer with a well-defined BAABR-type repeating unit composed of the DPE tetramer. Our proposed synthetic approach based on the combination of LAAR and ADMET polymerization realized the facile and precise control of the monomer sequence.

  • Bifunctional amino sulfonamide-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition to alkenyl alkynyl ketimines as enone surrogates. International journal

    A bifunctional amino sulfonamide-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of aldehydes to alkenyl alkynyl ketimines as reactive surrogates for enones has been developed. Use of a phenylcyclopropane-based amino sulfonamide catalyst, which can activate and orient the ketimines through hydrogen bonding, affords the desired conjugate adducts with high chemo-, diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

  • Construction of chiral α-tert-amine scaffolds via amine-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich reactions of alkyl-substituted ketimines. International journal

    Stereoselective Mannich reactions of aldehydes with ketimines provide chiral β-amino aldehydes that bear an α-tert-amine moiety. However, the structural variation of the ketimines is limited due to the formation of inseparable E/Z isomers, low reactivity, and other synthetic difficulties. In this study, a highly diastereodivergent synthesis of hitherto difficult-to-access β-amino aldehydes that bear a chiral α-tert-amine moiety was achieved using the amine-catalyzed Mannich reactions of aldehydes with less-activated Z-ketimines that bear both alkyl and alkynyl groups.

    An enantioselective synthesis of cis-dihydropyrans as the formal HDA reaction products was achieved through the catalyst-controlled anti-selective conjugate addition of aldehydes to β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters. The observed unusual cis-selectivity could be attributed to the stabilization of the less favorable transition state for anti-conjugate adducts by the hydrogen bonding between the hydroxy group of the amino diol catalyst and β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters.

    An efficient synthesis of novel chiral tritylpyrrolidine derivatives has been developed. Single stereoisomers of various tritylpyrrolidine derivatives can be readily obtained through diastereomer separation by simple silica gel column chromatography. Representative compounds of this class have been shown to be efficient amine organocatalysts for asymmetric benzoyloxylation.
