RESUMEN
The development of site-selective and regio- and enantioselective reactions of substrates with multiple active sites is an important topic and remains a substantial challenge in synthetic chemistry. Here, we describe a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric N2-C5 allylation of indazoles with dienyl allylic alcohols under mild conditions. In the presence of a Rh/(P/olefin) catalyst and formic acid, chiral N2-C5 allylic indazoles were formed in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee). The mechanism proceeds through an elusive intermediate Int B, which represents a challenging task on asymmetric allylic substitution (AAS) of dienyl substrates.
RESUMEN
2,3-Indole-fused 1,4-diazocines represent a new family of indole alkaloid compounds and are difficult to access by the reported protocols. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed decarboxylative cyclization of cyclic propargylic carbamates with imidazolidines via sequential C-N/C-N/C-C bond formation to deliver a series of 2,3-indole-fused 1,4-diazocines, with a broad substrate scope and mild conditions.
RESUMEN
Here we report the first example of iridium-catalyzed asymmetric N-allylation of pyrazoles with dienyl allylic alcohols under mild conditions with broad functional group tolerance, exhibiting excellent N1/C3-site selectivities and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). In addition to pyrazoles, other nucleophiles including benzotriazole, triazole, and pyrazole precursors (aryl vinyldiazos) are also suitable in this method. Notably, with the use of Sc(OTf)3 as additive and reactions performed at 30 °C for 24 h, the N1-C5 or N1-C1 selective alkylated pyrazoles are also obtained.
RESUMEN
An intermolecular enantioselective N-alkylation reaction of 1H-indoles has been developed by cooperative rhodium and chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed N-H bond insertion reaction. N-Alkyl indoles with newly formed stereocenter adjacent to the indole nitrogen atom are produced in good yields (up to 95 %) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99 %â ee). Importantly, both α-aryl and α-alkyl diazoacetates are tolerated, which is extremely rare in asymmetric X-H (X=N, O, S etâ al.) and C-H insertion reactions. With this method, only 0.1â mol % of rhodium catalyst and 2.5â mol % of chiral phosphoric acid are required to complete the conversion as well as achieve the high enantioselectivity. Computational studies reveal the cooperative relay of rhodium and chiral phosphoric acid, and the origin of the chemo and stereoselectivity.

RESUMEN
We present here a rhodium-catalyzed reaction between N-acyl pyridazinones and diazoacetates, leading to pyridazine derivatives in good yield under mild reaction conditions. This whole sequence probably proceeds through a carbene insertion into a CâO bond and an unprecedented 1,4-N-to-O acyl rearrangement reaction.
RESUMEN
We present here a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric N-H insertion reaction, which is a concerted process revealed by DFT calculations, for the synthesis of novel axially chiral N-arylindoles by the reaction between indoles and diazonaphthoquinones. The reaction occurs at the N1 rather than C2/C3 positions of indoles, providing the chiral N-arylindoles in good yields and excellent enantiomeric ratios. Furthermore, this protocol is also amenable to the synthesis of chiral N-arylcarbazoles with excellent enantiocontrol.
RESUMEN
The Nazarov cyclization is one of the most powerful tools for the stereoselective synthesis of various cyclopentenone scaffolds. Therefore, developing the new classes substrate of Nazarov reaction is an important endeavor in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report enyne diketones, enables diastereo- and enantioselective construction of chiral allene cyclopentenones in moderate to good yields with good enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee). Importantly, it is a typical example for asymmetric synthesis of cyclopentanones with allene moiety using Nazarov cyclisation. Mechanistic studies indicate that this metal-organo relay catalysis protocol involves a rhodium-catalyzed tandem oxonium ylide formation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement/reverse benzylic acid rearrangement, followed by organo-catalyzed asymmetric Nazarov cyclization/alkyne-to-allene isomerization to give the final chiral allene cyclopentenones.

RESUMEN
By using diazonaphthoquinones and anilines as key reagents and through a point-to-axis chiral transfer strategy, the atroposelective synthesis via asymmetric C(sp2 )-H bond insertion reaction of arenes has been realized under rhodium catalysis, providing the resulting biaryl atropisomers in moderate to excellent yields with good enantiomeric ratios (up to 99:1). Further elaboration indicates this type of axially biaryl scaffold may have promising potentials in developing novel chiral ligands.

RESUMEN
Asymmetric carbene insertion reactions represent one of the most important protocols to construct carbon-heteroatom bonds. The use of donor-acceptor diazo compounds bearing an ester group is however a prerequisite for achieving high enantioselectivity. Herein, we report a chemo- and enantioselective formal N-H insertion of 2-pyridones that has been accomplished for the first time with enynones as the donor-donor carbene precursors. DFT calculations indicate an unprecedented enantioselective 1,4-proton transfer from O to C. The rhodium catalyst provides a chiral pocket in which the steric repulsion and the π-π interaction of the propeller ligand play a critical role in determining the selectivities.
RESUMEN
The first systematic study on metal-carbene transfer reaction of 7-azaindoles has been conducted, and the unprecedented dearomative N7-alkylation reaction has been accomplished via ruthenium catalysis. Importantly, through a sequential dearomatization-aromatization process, an isolable, and new class of azaindole-based N-aromatic zwitterions has been discovered from the reaction of 7-azaindoles and diazoesters.
RESUMEN
The unprecedented dearomative migratory rearrangement reactions of 2-oxypyridines with N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles have been developed under rhodium catalysis, providing a reliable and efficient protocol for accessing N-substituted 2-pyridones. These two distinct rearrangements feature the controllable 1,4-migration of a carbonate group from O-to-C as well as the O-to-N 1,6-migration of an acyl group via α-imino rhodium carbene transfer. Moreover, the reaction of pyridotriazoles with 2-oxypyridines delivers the 1,4-migration products in high efficiency.
RESUMEN
The asymmetric synthesis of ß2,2 -amino acids remains a formidable challenge in organic synthesis. Here a novel organocatalytic enantioselective aminomethylation of ketenes with stable and readily available N,O-acetals is reported, providing ß2,2 -amino esters bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center in high enantiomeric ratios with a catalytic amount of chiral phosphoric acid. Typically, this transformation probably proceeds through an asymmetric counter-anion-directed catalysis. As a result, a concise, practical, and atom-economic protocol toward rapidly access to ß2,2 -amino acids has been developed.
RESUMEN
The construction of eight-membered rings is a challenging issue due to unfavorable transannular strain and entropic barriers. We report herein a gold-catalyzed formal [4 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of anthranils with allenamides to deliver oxa-bridged eight-membered heterocycles in accepted yields with unique E/Z configuration. Moreover, the asymmetric [4 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition by using chiral phosphoramidite gold catalyst has also been conducted.
RESUMEN
A novel transformation from rhamnose-type C-glycosides to 2-cyclopentenones is described. With the promotion of fluoroboric acid, C-glycosides underwent ring opening and subsequent Nazarov cyclization to afford 2-cyclopentenones in good to excellent yields. The solvent and the concentration of acid are crucial to the yield of this transformation.
