RESUMO
A transition metal-free, atom-economical, and highly stereospecific synthetic approach to Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation of arenes/heteroarenes has been developed. The protocol involves the catalytic aminium radical-cation salt (Magic Blue)-initiated SN2-type nucleophilic ring opening of activated aziridines with arenes/heteroarenes to give the corresponding 2,2-diarylethylamines up to 99% yield and 85% ee (for nonracemic aziridines) in a very short reaction time. Moreover, on reaction with 1,3-dimethylindole and benzofuran, aziridines undergo domino-ring-opening cyclization (DROC) to give the various biologically significant heterocyclic scaffolds in moderate to good yields.
RESUMO
A simple one-pot, two-step strategy for the synthesis of tetrahydro-1H-azepino[4,3,2-cd]indoles via Lewis acid-catalyzed SN2-type ring opening of activated azetidines with 4-bromoindole, followed by a Pd-catalyzed intramolecular C-N cyclization reaction, with good to excellent yields is described. Utilizing this protocol, the vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist precursor has been synthesized easily. Enantioenriched tetrahydro-1H-azepino[4,3,2-cd]indoles were obtained by starting from enantiopure azetidine.
RESUMO
A simple and atom economic protocol for the construction of C-X/C-C bonds via catalytic aminium radical-cation salt (Magic Blue)-initiated SN2-type nucleophilic ring-opening transformations of racemic and nonracemic aziridines with different hetero and carbon nucleophiles to afford various amino ethers, thioethers, and amines in up to 99% yield, and with perfect enantiospecificity for some substrates but reduced ee with others (for nonracemic aziridines), is developed. This aminium radical-cation salt-initiated, SN2-type nucleophilic ring-opening strategy, along with various cyclization protocols, is employed to synthesize various biologically significant compounds.
RESUMO
Activated aziridines react with propargyl alcohols in the presence of Zn(OTf)2 as the Lewis acid catalyst following an SN2-type ring-opening mechanism to furnish the corresponding amino ether derivatives. Those amino ethers further undergo intramolecular hydroamination via 6-exo-dig cyclization in the presence of Zn(OTf)2 as the catalyst and tetrabutylammonium triflate salt as an additive under one-pot two-step reaction conditions. However, for nonracemic examples, ring-opening and cyclization steps were conducted under two-pot conditions. The reaction works well without any additional solvents. The final 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-oxazine products were obtained with 13 to 84% yield and 78 to 98% enantiomeric excess (for nonracemic examples).
RESUMO
A mild one-pot stereospecific synthetic route to highly functionalized imidazolidines and oxazolidines via SN2-type ring-opening of the corresponding activated aziridines and epoxides with amines followed by p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization with aldehydes has been developed. The methodology tolerates a variety of functional groups and furnishes the desired products in high yields (up to 92%) with excellent stereoselectivities (de, ee > 99%). Interestingly, imidazolidines were formed as the cis-isomers, whereas oxazolidines were produced as trans-isomers exclusively.

RESUMO
A simple and efficient one-pot three-component synthetic route to highly substituted and functionalizable piperazines in high yields with excellent stereoselectivity (de, ee >99%) is reported. The SN2-type ring-opening of N-activated aziridines by anilines followed by Pd-catalyzed annulation with propargyl carbonates gives rise to the final piperazine products.
RESUMO
Two novel synthetic protocols for the syntheses of highly functionalized five-membered carbocyclic enaminonitriles and ß-enaminoesters have been developed via domino ring-opening cyclization (DROC) and DROC/decarboxylative tautomerization of activated cyclopropanes with malononitrile pronucleophiles, respectively. Both of the efficient strategies (yield up to 93%) have been generalized with various donor-acceptor and acceptor cyclopropanes as well as with malononitrile derivatives. The stereospecific variants of the two SN2-type DROC strategies have also been developed by employing enantiopure donor-acceptor (DA) cyclopropanes to synthesize the corresponding nonracemic products with excellent stereoselectivities (dr up to >99:1, ee up to >99%).
RESUMO
Novel 3,4-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives have been synthesized by an efficient and simple method in excellent enantio- and diastereospecificity (ee > 99%, de > 99%). The reaction proceeds via Lewis acid-catalyzed SN2-type ring opening of activated aziridines with 2-halophenols followed by Cu(I)-catalyzed intramolecular C-N cyclization in a stepwise fashion under one-pot conditions to furnish the 3,4-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives in excellent yields (up to 95%). The strategy offers a short and efficient synthesis to ( S)-3-methyl-1,4-benzoxazine ( S)-3v, a late stage intermediate in the synthesis of levofloxacin.

A highly stereoselective asymmetric intermolecular conjugate addition of α-amino ester derivatives to cyclic enones via the memory of chirality (MOC) concept in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity (dr >99:1, up to 99% ee) is reported. The applicability and the generality of the strategy was demonstrated by its further exploration to acyclic α,ß-unsaturated ketone and aromatic nitroalkenes, resulting in the formation of δ-keto-α-amino ester derivative and γ-nitro-α-amino ester derivatives, respectively, with excellent ee and dr.
RESUMO
Direct and expedient access to densely substituted tetrahydrocarbazoles and tetrahydrocycloheptadiindoles bearing multiple contiguous stereocentres has been achieved via a two-fold divergent diastereoselective (dr up to >99 : 1) transformation of 2-vinylindoles. The high-yielding conversions (yield up to 87%) that are amenable for a wide range of substituted 2-vinylindoles proceed through Lewis acid-catalyzed [4 + 2] and [4 + 3] cyclization-aromatization cascade reactions, respectively, involving a heretofore-unprecedented reversal of the polarity (umpolung) of 2-vinylindoles. The two synthetic routes are effortlessly transposable into each other by merely modulating the temperature to furnish the corresponding products in a selective and exclusive fashion. In addition, another novel synthetic route to tetrahydroindolocarbazoles has been developed that advances via a formal [4 + 2] cyclization of 4-vinylindoles involving sequential C3 Michael addition-dearomatization-aromatization cascade reactions.

RESUMO
A simple strategy for the synthesis of highly functionalized cyclohexanone derivatives containing an all-carbon quaternary center from α-(aryl/alkyl)methylidene-ß-keto esters or ß-diketones via a K-enolate mediated domino Michael-Michael reaction sequence with moderate to good yield and excellent diastereoselectivity (de > 99%) is described. Interestingly, Li-base mediated reaction of α-arylmethylidene-ß-diketones affords functionalized 3,5-dihydroxy cyclohexane derivatives as the kinetically controlled products via a domino aldol-aldol reaction sequence with excellent diastereoselectivity. Li-enolates of the ß-keto esters or ß-diketones undergo facile domino Michael-Michael reaction with nitro-olefins to afford the corresponding nitrocyclohexane derivatives in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivity (de > 99%). The formation of the products and the observed stereoselectivity were explained by plausible mechanisms and supported by extensive computational study. An asymmetric version of the protocol was explored with (L)-menthol derived nonracemic substrates, and the corresponding nonracemic cyclohexanone derivatives containing an all-carbon quaternary center were obtained with excellent stereoselectivity (de, ee > 99%).

Utilizing this protocol, 2-carboxyindole has been synthesized easily.
