Technical Note:
1. Phosphine -catalyzed intra-and intermolecular gamma-addition of nitrogen nucleophiles to allenoates and alkynoates.
2.Catalytic asymmetric construction of the tryptanthrin skeleton via enantioselective decarboxylativo4+2cyclization.
3.Catalytic, enantioselective carbon-oxygen bond formation - phosphine-catalyzed synthesis of benzylic esters via oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds.
4.Use of a new spirophosphine to achieve catalytic, enantios elective4+ 1annulations of amines with allenes to generatedihydropyrroles.
