RESUMEN
The first direct catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction of 2-alkylazaarenes and ketimines was realized with a chiral Cu-bis(oxazoline) complex as the catalyst. The asymmetric addition of 2-alkylpyridines to isatin-derived ketimines proceeded smoothly to afford α,ß-functionalized 2-substituted pyridines bearing 3-amino-3,3-disubstituted oxindole motifs with excellent results (≤99% yield, 99:1 dr, and 98% ee). The catalytic system was also extended to 2-alkylbenzothiazoles as nucleophiles for the asymmetric Mannich reaction of ketimines.
RESUMEN
A [6 + 1] annulation reaction via cascade 1,6-hydride transfer/cyclization is reported to construct a polycyclic 3,4-fused azepinoindole skeleton. The newly designed 4-amino-indole-3-carbaldehyde is applied as a novel six-atom synthon, interacting with arylamines and malononitrile to achieve the [6 + 1] annulation. Notably, the reaction proceeds smoothly under redox-neutral and metal-free conditions, providing a wide range of azepinoindoles in up to 94% yields, with water as the only byproduct. Besides, the advantage of high step- and atom-economy further highlights the practicality of this methodology.

The use of alkyl amines and ethers as traceless hydride donors in [1,5]-hydride transfer cascade reactions represents a promising strategy that greatly enriches redox-neutral hydride transfer chemistry. This review summarizes the remarkable progress made in this field, and focuses on (1) alkyl amines as traceless hydride donors in cascade [1,5]-hydride transfer/elimination reactions and (2) alkyl ethers as traceless hydride donors in [1,5]-hydride transfer cascade reactions. The reaction mechanisms, features, scope, limitations, and synthetic applications are included, where appropriate. Importantly, its powerful ability in allene synthesis and the combination with [Re]-vinylidene and carbocation chemistries render this strategy attractive enough to inspire chemists to develop colorful reactions for building molecular complexity.
RESUMEN
Hexafluoroisopropanol has been demonstrated as the versatile promoter for redox-neutral α-C(sp3)-H functionalization of cyclic amines via the cascade [1,5]-hydride transfer/cyclization strategy. A wide range of cyclic amines are functionalized into bioactive tetrahydroquinolines, quinazolines, benzoxazines, and benzotriazepines in moderate to excellent yields. This protocol features additive-free conditions, operational simplicity, and wide substrate scope.
RESUMEN
Described herein is an unprecedented N-alkylation-initiated redox-neutral [5 + 2] annulation of 3-alkylindoles with o-aminobenzaldehydes via a cascade N-alkylation/dehydration/[1,5]-hydride transfer/Friedel-Crafts alkylation sequence. A series of indole-1,2-fused 1,4-benzodiazepines are facilely constructed in moderate to good yields in one step. This protocol features excellent regioselectivity, metal-free conditions, high step economy, and wide substrate scope.
RESUMEN
Herein, we report the first redox-neutral and transition-metal-free ß-C(sp3)-H functionalization of cyclic amines via a consecutive intermolecular hydride transfer process. A series of N-aryl pyrrolidines and N-aryl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines decorated with CF3 and carboxylic ester functionalities are directly accessed in good yields from pyrrolidines and piperidines. This work pushes forward the application of the intermolecular hydride transfer strategy in one-step assembly of molecular complexity.
RESUMEN
The redox-neutral cascade dearomatization of indoles with o-aminobenzaldehydes has been realized via the hydride transfer strategy, achieving the condition- and substrate-controlled divergent synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline-fused spiroindolenines. The integration of hydride transfer-involved C(sp3)-H functionalization with dearomatization provides a promising platform for the construction of structurally diverse molecules.

The oxindole-embedded ortho-quinone methides were employed as reactive intermediates in formal [4 + 2] annulation with 1,3-dicarbonyls, providing an efficient access to spiro[chromen-4,3'-oxindole] scaffolds via a cascade conjugate addition/ketalization/dehydration process. This protocol featured metal-free conditions, wide substrate scope, and excellent yields.

An organocatalytic C(sp3)-H functionalization of 5-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuran derivatives with trifluoropyruvates was achieved via a sequential exo-tautomerization/carbonyl-ene process, providing the biologically important CF3-substituted 2,3-dihydrofurans in high yields. This method featured mild metal-free conditions, good chemoselectivity, and easy scalability.
RESUMEN
The organocatalytic dearomative [4 + 2] cycloadditions of biomass-derived 2,5-dimethylfuran with ortho-quinone methides were developed, affording two diffferent types of multisubstituted chromanes in high yields and excellent diastereoselectivities. The controllable synthesis of these two types of multisubstituted chromanes could be achieved by succinctly varying the reaction conditions.
