RESUMEN
Herein we report the first transition metal-catalyzed approach to the enantioenriched synthesis of cyclic sulfonimidamides relying on commercially available palladium catalysts and ligands. High-throughput experimentation (HTE) was employed to identify the optimal catalyst system and solvent. The method is applied to a variety of saturated and unsaturated rings and exhibits the highest selectivity for 2-substituted allyl electrophiles. The products are further elaborated to complex, tricyclic scaffolds. DFT experiments presented herein highlight the key ligand substrate interactions leading to the high levels of enantioselectivity.
RESUMEN
Polysubstituted allenes are useful synthetic intermediates in many applications, offering structural complexity, modularity, and their axial chirality in further transformations. While acyl and alkoxy-substituted allenes are known, there are currently few examples of allenes containing both functionalities and no reports of geminally substituted acyl/alkoxy allenes being isolated and characterized. Herein, we report the synthesis of tetrasubstituted allenes featuring a novel geminal acyl/alkoxy substitution. These unique "push-pull" allenes are bench-stable and exhibit interesting reactivity in several applications.

Lewis acid mediated allylations of ß-alkoxy N-tosyl imines using allyltrimethylsilane lead to 3-alkoxy homoallylic N-tosyl amines with anti-selectivity. Two methods of Cu(OTf)2-mediated allylations are reported herein, demonstrating that diastereoselectivity can be achieved through 1,3 acyclic stereocontrol of ß-chiral aldimines. Observed selectivity trends and computational evidence suggest selectivity arises through the formation of a six-membered ring chelate. The product ratios of these allylations are dependent on conformational preferences of the chelate and steric effects in the transition-state structures.
