An efficient organocatalytic approach to the enantioslective synthesis of two important piperidine alkaloids, namely (+)-alpha-conhydrine (98\% ee) and (-)-sedamine (95\% ee), by L-proline-catalysed alpha-aminooxylation of aldehydes has been developed. The strategy involves an intramolecular cyclization to construct the piperidine core.

A short and efficient enantioselective synthesis of natural product (S)-3-hydroxypiperidine has been achieved starting from commercially available raw materials employing two catalytic routes: (i) cocatalyzed hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of racemic methyl-3-(oxiran-2-yl)propanoate; (ii) proline-catalyzed -aminooxylation followed by Horner-Wardsworth-Emmons olefination in high enantiomeric purity (97\% ee) and high overall yield (38\%).

An efficient and economical approach to the synthesis of antitumor and anti-inflammatory surinamensinol B (1) and antimalarial polysphorin analogue 2 has been achieved with high enantiomeric purity (96\% ee) by starting from commercially available 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde. The key steps of the strategy include a Co-catalyzed two-stereocentered hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of racemic 2[( methoxymethoxy)(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methyl] oxirane (13) as the chiral inducing step followed by a Mitsunobu reaction. Chiral epoxide 14 and chiral diol 15 were utilized in the syntheses of both compounds.

An efficient enantioselective formal synthesis of marine macrolide (-)-(6R,11R,14R)-colletallol has been achieved starting from commercially available raw materials. The key reactions include the D-proline catalyzed a-aminooxylation of aldehyde followed by Horner-Wardsworth-Emmons olefination in a sequential fashion to give the macrolide key intermediate 5 in high enantiomeric purity (97\% ee) and high overall yield (32\%).
