    The preparation of 5-substituted 2,3-methanopyrrolidines by the stereoselective cyclization of zincated α-amino nitriles derived from enantiopure α-branched homoallylamines has been investigated. The formation of trans adducts in excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >98:2) and good yields (up to 71%) is observed. The absolute configuration and enantiomeric excess are dependent on the nitrogen protecting group.

    Abstract The enantiopure oxazolines are synthesized without using any catalysts and solvents from various nitriles and enantiopure amino alcohols under microwave irradiation at high temperature (150 to 240 °C) in short reaction time (60 to 100 min).

    Abstract A RuPHOX−Ru catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of γ‐keto acids has been developed, affording the corresponding enantiopure γ‐lactones in high yields and with up to 97% ee. The reaction could be performed on a gram scale with a relatively low catalyst loading (up to 10000 S/C) under the indicated reaction conditions and the resulting products can be transformed to several enantiopure building blocks, biologically active compounds and enantiopure drugs. magnified image

    Abstract Chiral butyrolacto[3,4‐ b ]‐2(S)‐6( R )‐l‐N‐alkylaziridines 7 were synthesized in enantiopure form utilizing racemic 5‐methoxy‐3‐bromo‐2(5 H )furanone (5) and available amines (6) as key precursors. After highly effective reduction of 7, the functionalized 2( S ),3( R )‐dihydroxymethyl‐ N ‐alkylaziridines (8) were obtained in good yields with ≥98% ee . This is a simple and practical method for the preparation of enantiopure aziridines which are important intermediates in the synthesis of biologic active molecules.
