RESUMO
A catalyst system consisting of a chiral phosphoramidite ligand and Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 causes the decarboxylation of 5-vinyloxazolidine-2,4-diones to generate amide-containing aza-π-allylpalladium 1,3-dipole intermediates, which are capable of triggering the dearomatization of 3-nitroindoles for diastereo- and enantioselective [3+2] cycloaddition, leading to the formation of a series of highly functionalized pyrroloindolines containing three contiguous stereogenic centers with excellent results (up to 99% yield, 88:12 dr, and 96% ee).
RESUMO
An efficient dearomative cyclization of 2-nitrobenzofurans via a thiol-triggered tandem Michael addition/intramolecular Henry reaction has been developed. A range of thiochromeno[3,2-b]benzofuran-11-ols and tetrahydrothieno[3,2-b]benzofuran-3-ols could be obtained in up to 99% yield and up to >20:1 dr. The valuable thiochromone fused benzofurans could be prepared with the reaction of 2-nitrobenzofurans and 2-mercaptobenzaldehyde via the tandem dearomative Michael addition/intramolecular Henry reaction/rearomatization/oxidative dehydrogenation process in a one-pot two-step operation. A mechanism for the reaction was tentatively proposed.
RESUMO
An efficient dearomative (3 + 2) cycloaddition of para-quinamines and 2-nitrobenzofurans has been developed. This reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions and affords a series of benzofuro[3,2-b]indol-3-one derivatives in good to excellent yields (up to 98%) with perfect diastereoselectivities (all cases > 20:1 dr). The scale-up synthesis and versatile derivatizations demonstrate the potential synthetic application of the protocol. A plausible reaction mechanism is also proposed to account for the observed reaction process. This work represents the first instance of the N-triggered dearomative (3 + 2) cycloaddition of 2-nitrobenzofurans.
RESUMO
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.
RESUMO
This study demonstrates a highly efficient regiodivergent ligand-controlled palladium-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of vinyloxazolidine-2,4-diones with 1,3,5-triazinanes. In the presence of a diphosphine ligand, the reaction proceeds via a (5+2) cycloaddition pathway to afford 1,3-diazepin-4-ones in excellent yields, while using a monophosphine ligand, the reaction proceeds smoothly via a (3+2) cycloaddition pathway to give imidazolidin-4-ones in good yields.
RESUMO
α-Substituted-7-azaindoline amides and α,ß-unsaturated 7-azaindoline amides have emerged as new versatile synthons for various metal-catalyzed and organic-catalyzed asymmetric reactions, which have attracted much attention from chemists. In this review, the progress of research on 7-azaindoline amides in the asymmetric aldol reaction, the Mannich reaction, the conjugate addition, the 1,3-dipole cycloaddition, the Michael/aldol cascade reaction, aminomethylation and the Michael addition-initiated ring-closure reaction is discussed. The α-substituted-7-azaindoline amides, as nucleophiles, are classified according to the type of α-substituted group, whereas the α,ß-unsaturated 7-azaindoline amides, as electrophiles, are classified according to the type of reaction.
RESUMO
Herein, we report an unprecedented implementation of 3-halooxindoles as C-C-O three-atom components for (3+3) cycloaddition with pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolates, affording structurally diverse indolenine-fused 2H-1,4-oxathiines in moderate to high yields. A combined experimental and computational mechanistic study suggests that the reaction proceeds through addition of a S conjugate to the o-azaxylylene intermediate, followed by O-Michael addition and a sequential retro-Michael addition/pyridine extrusion pathway.
RESUMO
An organocatalytic asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of ß-trifluoromethyl enones with 3-(N-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) benzothiophene ketimines and 2-(N-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) benzothiophene ketimines was described for the first time. A wide spectrum of vicinally bis(trifluoromethyl)-substituted spiro pyrrolidine-benzothiophenones were obtained with excellent stereocontrol (all cases >20:1 dr and up to 99% ee). The highlight of this work is the extremely high efficiency in the construction of spirocyclic benzothiophenone derivatives possessing a vicinally bis(trifluoromethyl)-substituted pyrrolidine moiety with four contiguous stereocenters.
RESUMO
A palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative α-allylation of thiazolidinones and azlactones with aza-π-allylpalladium zwitterionic intermediates, in situ generated from sulfonamido-substituted allylic carbonates, is successfully developed. This method allows the formation of a series of structurally diverse 5-alkylated thiazolidinones and 2-piperidones under mild conditions in moderate to high yields (up to 99% yield).
RESUMO
In this research, a metal-free diastereoselective formal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines and cyclopentene-1,3-diones which can efficiently lead to the desymmetrization of cyclopentene-1,3-diones is developed. With the developed protocol, a series of tetracyclic spirooxindoles containing pyrrolidine and cyclopentane subunits can be smoothly obtained with good results (up to 99% yield and 91:9 dr). Furthermore, the methodology can be extended to trifluoromethyl-substituted iminomalonate, and the corresponding formal [3+2] cycloaddition reaction affords bicyclic heterocycles containing fused pyrrolidine and cyclopentane moieties in moderate yields with >20:1 dr. The synthetic potential of the methodology is demonstrated by the scale-up experiment and by versatile transformations of the products.
RESUMO
An unprecedented N-alkylation of 3-nitroindoles with para-quinone methides was developed for the first time. Using potassium carbonate as the base, a wide range of structurally diverse N-diarylmethylindole derivatives were obtained with moderated to good yields via the protection group migration/aza-1,6-Michael addition sequences. The reaction process was also demonstrated by control experiments. Different from the previous advances where 3-nitrodoles served as electrophiles trapping by various nucleophiles, the reaction herein is featured that 3-nitrodoles is defined with latent N-centered nucleophiles to react with ortho-hydrophenyl p-QMs for construction of various N-diarylmethylindoles.
RESUMO
[3 + 2] Cycloaddition reactions of heteroaromatic N-ylides with electron-deficient olefins have been developed. The heteroaromatic N-ylides, in situ generated from N-phenacylbenzothiazolium bromides, can smoothly react with maleimides under very mild conditions, affording fused polycyclic octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrroles in good-to-excellent isolated yields. This reaction concept could also be extended to 3-trifluoroethylidene oxindoles and benzylidenemalononitriles as electron-deficient olefins for accessing highly functionalized polyheterocyclic compounds. A gram-scale experiment was also carried out to verify the practicability of the methodology.

Copper-catalyzed decarboxylative reactions of propargylic cyclic carbonates/carbamates enable the efficient construction of widely available skeletons such as allenes, ethynyl-containing heterocycles, and tetrasubstituted stereogenic carbon centers. As an emerging field, these strategies have gained great attention and shown significant progress due to the presence of multiple electrophilic and nucleophilic reaction sites of propargylic cyclic carbonates/carbamates, as well as the distinct advantages of copper catalysis such as higher selectivity, low cost, and mild reaction conditions. In this review, the achievements in copper-catalyzed decarboxylative reactions of propargylic cyclic carbonates/carbamates are addressed. Mechanistic insights, synthetic applications, and their limitations are discussed. The challenges and opportunities of this field are also outlined.

Heteroarene 1, n-zwitterions are powerful and versatile building blocks in the construction of heterocycles and have received increasing attention in recent years. In particular, pyridinium and quinolinium 1,4-zwitterions have been widely studied and used in a variety of cyclization reactions due to their air stability, ease of use, and high efficiency. Sulfur- and nitrogen-based pyridinium and quinolinium 1,4-zwitterions, types of emerging heteroatom-containing synthons, have attracted much attention from chemists. These 1,4-zwitterions, which contain multiple reaction sites, have been successfully used in the synthesis of three- to eight-membered cyclic compounds over the last decade. In this review, we present the exciting progress made in the field of cyclization reactions of sulfur- and nitrogen-based pyridinium and quinolinium 1,4-zwitterions. Moreover, the mechanistic insights, the transition states, some synthetic applications, and the challenges and opportunities are also discussed. We hope to provide an overview for synthetic chemists who are interested in the heterocycle synthesis from cyclization reaction with pyridinium and quinolinium 1,4-zwitterions pyridinium and quinolinium 1,4-zwitterions.
RESUMO
A highly efficient methodology for bioactive ingredient 3S,3'S-astaxanthin (3S,3'S-AST) preparation from genetically modified yeast (Kluyveromyces marxianus) with a combination of enzyme-assisted extraction and salt-assisted liquid-liquid extraction (SALLE) was achieved. The highest yield of 3S,3'S-AST indicated that FoodPro® CBL for yeast cell walls hydrolysis could significantly enhance extraction and obtain, with the help of SALLE procedure, quantified 3S,3'S-AST over 99% in purity through cation chelation. In the oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC) assay, the antioxidant capacity of high-purity 3S,3'S-AST products were 18.3 times higher than that of the original raw material extract. This new combination preparation may replace previous methods and has the potential to be scaled up in the manufacture of high-purity 3S,3'S-AST from low-value bioresources of raw materials to high-value products in the food and/or drug industries with lower cost and simple equipment.
RESUMO
Catalytic asymmetric dearomative [3+2] cycloaddition of α-imino γ-lactones with either 3-nitroindoles or 2-nitrobenzofurans by using a chiral copper complex as the catalyst was developed. A wide range of structurally diverse polyheterocyclic compounds containing spirocyclic-fused butyrolactone-pyrrolidine-indoline and butyrolactone-pyrrolidine-dihydrobenzofuran skeletons could be smoothly obtained with excellent results (>99:1 dr and 98% ee). The potential synthetic applications of this methodology were also demonstrated by the scale-up experiment and by the diverse transformations of one product. This method is characterized by high asymmetric induction, wide functional group tolerance and scalability, and attractive product diversification.
RESUMO
A copper-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective decarboxylative [3 + 2] cyclization reaction of alkyne-substituted cyclic carbamates with azlactones has been established. A range of optically pure γ-butyrolactams bearing two vicinal tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters were obtained in high yields with good to excellent stereoselectivities (up to 99% yield, 99:1 dr, and 99% ee). This is the first example of asymmetric synthesis γ-butyrolactams containing sterically congested vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocenters via a decarboxylative cyclization pathway.
RESUMO
A formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition of 3-nitroindoles with ortho-aminophenyl p-quinone methides via a dearomatization process was developed. This method provides a facile approach for preparing tetrahydro-5H-indolo[2,3-b]quinolones with good results. With the bifunctional Cinchona alkaloid-squaramide as the catalyst, the asymmetric version of the reaction successfully afforded the corresponding chiral products with moderate to good enantioselectivities. This work represents the first dearomative cycloaddition of electron-deficient heteroarenes triggered by aza-Michael addition from p-QMs.
RESUMO
A palladium-catalyzed enantioselective α-allylation of deconjugated butenolides with aza-π-allylpalladium 1,4-diploes, in situ generated from palladium-mediated decarboxylation of cyclic carbamates and amide-substituted acyclic carbonates, has been successfully developed. An array of enantioenriched 2-piperidones bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter were obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield and 99% ee). The utility of this method was also showcased by a large-scale reaction and synthetic transformations of the product.
