An efficient formal synthesis of (-) anisomycin (1), a potent antibiotic agent, has been achieved in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivity. The key steps are proline-catalyzed sequential alpha-amination or alpha-aminoxylation of aldehyde 2 followed by tandem Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination.

A high-yielding enantioselective synthesis of the bioactive (S)-N-(5-chlorothiophene-2-sulfonyl)beta,beta-diethylalaninol (1), a Notch-1-sparing gamma-secretase inhibitor metabolite (with EC50 = 28 nM) effective in reduction of All production in vivo, has been realized starting from readily available 3-pentanone. The key steps of the synthesis are proline-catalyzed alpha-aminooxylation and alpha-amination of aldehyde: the latter contributing an overall yield of 45.2\% and 98\% ee. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

A new organocatalytic approach to the synthesis of ceramide trafficking inhibitor HPA-12 has been described starting from phenacyl bromide. The strategy involves chiral CBS reduction of gamma-ketoester and proline-catalyzed alpha-amination reaction of aldehyde followed by reduction as the key chirality inducing steps.

A general organocatalytic method has been developed for the asymmetric synthesis of alpha-hydrazino-gamma-fluoro alcohols, a precursor to syn/anti-1,3-fluoro amines. The strategy employs alpha-fluorination catalyzed by prolinederived catalyst, (S)-alpha,alpha-bis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-pyrrolidinemetha nol trimethylsilyl ether followed by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination of aldehydes, and proline-catalyzed alpha-amination as the key steps. The title compounds showed excellent diastereoselectivity (up to 99:1) and enantioselectivity (up to 99 \%).
