Abstract
A chemoselective cross Rauhut-Currier-type reaction has been developed involving a tri-substituted alkene (trifluoromethyl-containing acrylonitrile derivative) with a di- or tri-substituted alkene to yield tetra-substituted double bonds in RC-type products. This approach can support the synthesis of trifluoromethylated tetra-substituted olefins and synthetically important, structurally complex 3-allylic-type oxindole skeletons. The asymmetric version of this RC-type reaction can be realized by combining a Brønsted acid and Lewis base for bifunctional H-bonding-tertiary amine catalysis. Subsequent transformation of multi-functionalized RC-type product leads to pharmacologically interesting cyclohexane-based spiro-pyrazolones bearing six contiguous chiral centers and two highly congested, vicinal quaternary carbon centers.
