Lewis acid-promoted carbonyl-ene reaction of enantiomerically pure 4-oxoazetidine-2-carbaldehydes with various activated alkenes gives 4-[(1'-hydroxy)homoallyl]-beta-lactams with a very high level of syn diastereofacial selectivity. The above homoallylic alcohols are used for the diastereoselective preparation of fused bicyclic, tricyclic, and tetracyclic beta-lactams of nonconventional structure using tandem one-pot radical addition/cyclization or elimination-intramolecular Diels-Alder sequences. In addition, a novel domino process was discovered, the C4-N1 beta-lactam bond breakage/intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.

Direct conversion of dinitrogen (N) into N-containing compounds beyond ammonia under ambient conditions remains a longstanding challenge. Herein, we present a Lewis acid-promoted strategy for diverse nitrogen-element bonds formation from N using chromium dinitrogen complex [Cp*(IPrMe)Cr(N)]K (1). With the help of Lewis acids AlMe and BF, we successfully trap a series of fleeting diazenido intermediates and synthesize value-added compounds containing N-B, N-Ge, and N-P bonds with 3 d metals, offering a method for isolating unstable intermediates.

Cyclopropanes are commonly used as valuable 3-carbon building blocks. Herein, we disclose a different reactivity pattern of furanyl cyclopropanes, which serve as a 4-carbon component in Lewis acid-promoted [4+2] cycloadditions with nitrosoarenes to afford 1,2-oxazine derivatives. Importantly, the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition reaction can be controlled by the appropriate choice of the Lewis acid.

The synthesis of 1-azido -nucleosides is described to expand the set of azide-functionalized nucleosides for bioorthogonal applications and as potential antiviral drugs. Lewis acid-promoted azidation of a nucleoside hemiketal resulted in the formation of a tetrazole through a Schmidt reaction manifold. Conformational control to prevent ring-chain tautomerism enabled efficient 1-azidation with complete β-diastereoselectivity.

A simple and effective strategy for the construction of disulfide-substituted oxazole derivatives from amides, ynals, and acetyl disulfides via a Lewis acid-promoted three-component reaction has been reported. In addition, this reaction possesses other unique advantages, such as transition-metal-free catalysis, the production of disulfides, good functional group tolerance, and good regioselectivity.

Hexahydro-2-cyclopenta[]furan fused to electron-rich aromatic rings reacts with various aromatic aldehydes in different modes to build diverse frameworks. The reaction of a dimethoxybenzene-fused cyclopentafuran generated diquinanes fused with a hydrofuran ring, indenopyrans, or diarylindanes depending upon the type of aromatic aldehydes, whereas an indole-annulated cyclopentafuran generated another type of diquinane fused with hydrofuran ring or benzylidenecyclopentafuran. The chemodivergence is due to the different properties between indole- and dimethoxybenzene-fused hydrocyclopentafurans.
