[Structure: see text] In a search for new multicomponent strategies leading to valuable small heterocycles, a new highly diastereoselective four-component reaction (4CR) was found in which a phosphonate, nitriles, aldehydes, and isocyanoacetates combine to afford functionalized 3-isocyano-3,4-dihydro-2-pyridones. In this strategy, initially a 1-azadiene is generated, which is trapped in the same pot by an isocyanoacetate as the fourth component. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) that lead to heterocycles containing isocyano substituents are unprecedented and offer many possibilities for further differentiation.

Diastereoselective synthesis of -3,4-difunctionalized tetrahydroquinoline and chromane derivatives via the oxo-sulfonylation of 1,7-enynes is demonstrated. The reaction involves a three-component oxidative radical polar crossover (ORPC) approach wherein a vinyl carbocation intermediate undergoes nucleophilic substitution to afford the corresponding keto functional group. Deprotection of the N-Ts group, gram-scale synthesis, and other synthetic applications were illustrated.

This study investigates the repurposing of asphaltene, a petroleum waste product, as a catalyst for organic reactions. Sulfonated asphaltene was synthesized and evaluated for its efficacy in catalyzing the Mannich reaction, displaying notable diastereoselectivity and operating effectively under mild conditions. Characterization of the catalyst's chemical composition, structure, and thermal stability was conducted using FT-IR, TGA, XRD, CHN, BET-BJH, SEM, and EDS analyses.

We have developed a simple and straightforward synthesis of chiral -imidazolidinone cyclohexenones, featuring six contiguous stereocenters, from feedstock chemicals such as aminophenols, α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, and α-amino acids. Remarkably, this one-pot multicomponent reaction exhibits exceptional diastereoselectivity (>20:1 dr) and relies solely on an amino acid precursor as the chiral source, avoiding the use of transition metals or additional organocatalysts. This reaction is efficient and scalable, enabling synthesis on a gram-scale.

Allylic diboronates are highly valuable reagents in organic synthesis. Existing methods predominantly yield alkyl-substituted allylic diboronates, while the incorporation of electrophilic carbonyl groups conjugated to these allylic systems remains unknown. We present a strain-release promoted cycloaddition-based strategy that enabled access to unprecedented carbonyl conjugated secondary allylic diborons.

We report the copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of vinyl arene-derived nucleophiles to α,β-unsaturated diesters. Due to the high electrophilicity of α,β-unsaturated diesters toward nucleophilic copper catalysts, inclusion of vinyl arenes as pronucleophiles is challenging due to chemoselectivity issues in a multicomponent reaction compared with those of other successful examples of dienes, allenes, and enynes. In this method, chemoselective generation of a chiral benzylic copper intermediate and its stereoselective addition to α,β-unsaturated diesters provided organoboron adducts with contiguous stereogenic centers with good levels of diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity (≤85:15 diastereomeric ratio and 99% enantiomeric excess, respectively).
