The phosphine-promoted [3 + 2] cyclizations between γ-substituted allenoates and arylideneoxindoles have been applied to the stereoselective synthesis of spiro(cyclopentene)oxindoles with trisubstituted cyclopentene units. It has been demonstrated that PPh(3) operates a very efficient control of the relative stereochemistry of the three stereogenic centers of the final spiranic products. Focused experiments have been carried out then so as to access carbocyclic analogues of an important series of anticancer agents inhibiting MDM2-p53 interactions.

A cascade reaction of Pd(II)/dppben-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of -aryl nitrones with allenoates and sequential reduction has been developed for the synthesis of functionalized benzazepines bearing three contiguous carbon stereocenters in moderate to good yields ranging from 15 to 82% and high diastereoselectivity. The obtained benzazepines could be converted into various benzazepine scaffolds, and an estrone-derived benzazepine scaffold was prepared over four steps from estrone. More importantly, chiral benzazepine bearing three contiguous carbon stereocenters could be obtained in 88% ee value with chiral auxiliary.

Herein, we report a DMAP-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation reaction of hex-5-en-2-ynoates with electron-poor alkenes , which affords exocyclic olefinic cyclohexenes in good yields and excellent regio-, diastereo-, and / selectivities. Distinguished from previous allenoate- or alkynoate-based substrates, hex-5-en-2-ynoates use the β- and ε-carbons for the bond formation, presenting new and regiodivergent C synthons for Lewis base-catalyzed annulations.

Chiral isochalcogenoureas ( isothioureas and isoselenoureas) catalyse the asymmetric (4 + 2)-cycloaddition of various allenoates with -quinone methides. This approach provides straightforward access to different chromane derivatives with high enantioselectivities, good yields, and control of the configuration of the exocyclic double bond. Furthermore, some of the novel -quinone methides used herein were successfully integrated into the Mayr reactivity scale by determining their electrophilicity parameter.

An auxiliary-based protocol is described for an asymmetric allenoate Claisen rearrangement. Silicated tosic acid (10 mol %) was used as an inexpensive, user-friendly catalyst. Stereochemical analysis revealed a preferential attack at the face of prostereogenic olefin.

Chiral fully-substituted allenes are synthetically significant and pivotal building blocks that can engage in diverse transformations toward a variety of bioactive molecules. The enantioselective assembly of these skeletons using readily available reactants offers significant advantages but remains challenging. Herein, an asymmetric formal Michael-type addition of alkynyl imines with the key alkylgold intermediates derived in situ from N-propargylamides is accomplished under gold-complex and chiral quinine-derived squaramide (QN-SQA) synergetic catalysis.
