Virgin C−H bonds: The first example for activating acetylenic protons under base- and metal-free conditions is reported. This includes a general method for synthesizing propargylic derivatives of cotarnine. An array of tetrahydroisoquinolines alkaloids was synthesized by C−C bond formation between cotarnine and aryl acetylenes at room temperature. A DFT-based mechanism is proposed for the reaction.

Abstrcat: The cross-aldol reaction between enolizable aldehydes and α-ketophosphonates was achieved for the first time by using 9-amino-9-deoxy-epi-quinine as the catalyst. β-Formyl-α-hydroxyphosphonates were obtained in high to excellent enantioselectivities. The reaction works especially well with acetaldehyde, which is a tough substrate for organocatalyzed cross-aldol reactions. The products were demonstrated to have anticancer activities.

Abstract:  Face-to-face: Allene carboxylates can serve as efficient dipolarophiles for Rh-catalyzed carbonyl ylide cycloadditions (see scheme). The endo and exo products arise from cycloaddition on the same face of the allene, but opposite faces of the dipole. This facial selectivity results in the formation of two of the four possible diastereomers with 76% de.
