In this study,six thiourea derivatives of cinchona alkaloids with 9-nat or 9-epi-configuration were synthesized.After characterized the structures,we adopted them to the asymmetric'interrupted'Feist-Benary(IFB) reaction ofα-haloketones withβ-dicarbonyl compounds,to give optically active dihydrofurans.Various thiourea derivatives as organocatalysts were examined.The corresponding chiral hydroxyl dihydrofurans have been obtained in excellent yields and moderate ees.To the acyclic substrate,we obtained excitin...

The efficient synthesis of N-(diphenylmethylene) glycine alkyl esters was achieved for the first microwave irradiation under solvent-free condition, using PEG or quaternary ammonium salts as phase transfer catalysts (PTCs). Under the optimum conditions, N-(diphenylmethylene) glycine alkyl esters were obtained in excellent yields in most cases.
