Michael addition of chloroalkyloxazolines to electron-poor alkenes: Synthesis of heterosubstituted cyclopropanes

Lithiated 2-(1-chloroethyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline 7 adds to electron-poor alkenyl heterocycles to afford substituted cyclopropanes in excellent yields. A route to chiral nonracemic heterosubstituted cyclopropanes, starting from optically active 2-chloromethyl-2-oxazolines, is highlighted as well.

A new role for sulfenate anions: Organocatalysis

(Chemical Equation Presented) The sulfenate anion is introduced for the first time as a catalyst and was found to facilitate the conversion of benzyl halides to trans-stilbenes. CPME=Cyclopentyl methyl ether.

STEREOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS OF (E)-ALKENYLPYRIDINES VIA α-SILYL CARBANION

(E)-2-Alkenylpyridines were stereospecifically prepared from 2-(trimethylsilylmethyl)pyridine and the corresponding (E)-aldimines of anilines by an analogous reaction to the Peterson reaction.
