Deep-sea Diels-Alder: The asymmetric organocatalytic Diels-Alder reaction of cyclohexenones with aromatic nitroolefins can be carried out in seawater and brine. The reaction proceeds by an in situ enamine activation involving a one-step concerted addition pathway (see scheme).

Herein, we have demonstrated the design and synthesis of a novel Ni-immobilized MOF as heterogeneous catalyst for the dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles. A series of five and six-member N-heteroarenes bearing one or more heteroatoms were synthesized in up to 98% yield (> 33 examples). Late stage functionalization to the synthesis of b-glucuronides inhibitor, antimalarial drug quinine, and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indomethacin were obtained under milder reactions conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method was created to trap certain chemical intermediates (benzopyrone-based ortho-quinone methides) using 3- and 5-amino pyrazoles or isoxazoles.
  • Various hybrid compounds were synthesized from natural phenolic Mannich bases and flavonoids, such as coumarin and isoflavone, with moderate to good yields depending on the position of the amino group.
  • Some of the resulting compounds, especially those with 5-aminoisoxazole, showed the ability to inhibit α-glucosidase, demonstrating potential biological activity with micromolar IC values.

We have developed two triazole-based covalent organic polymers (COPs) with donor-acceptor motifs. The keto-enriched COP demonstrated exceptional oxygen activation electrochemical stimuli, driven by strong push-pull interactions. studies and DFT calculations confirmed the critical role of enamine carbon positive charges in enhancing performance, setting new benchmarks in COP design.

A photoinduced three-component radical addition-aminalization cascade was accomplished, enabling rapid assembly of a wide range of densely functionalized γ-lactams. Key to this transformation is the electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) generation of enamine and in situ trapping of an iminium intermediate with bromodifluoroacetamide. This rationally designed protocol fully takes advantage of the polarity crossover (enamine-iminium) in the process, providing the modular assembly of previously inaccessible scaffolds.

Despite conceptual breakthroughs in dual photoredox- and nickel-catalyzed arylation of radicals, the approach remains largely limited to localized C-centered radicals. Here, we extend it to allylic radicals, focusing on -allyl heterocycles. Using [Ir(dF(CF)ppy)(dtbbpy)]PF and NiCl(dtbbpy) under visible light, we achieve regioselective γ-amino radical arylation, yielding enamines in good yields.
