An intramolecular organocatalytic cascade dearomatizing spirocycloaddition reaction of indole-ynone compounds containing -silyl-naphthol substituents has been developed with the use of a chiral bifunctional thiourea. This process was able to provide various structurally diverse polycyclic spiroindolines in high yields (up to 98%) with excellent stereoselectivities (>20:1 dr, up to 98% ee) involving the formation of carbonylvinylidene -quinone methide intermediates.

Spiroaminals represent novel structural motifs prevalent in diverse natural products and biologically active molecules. Achieving their enantioselective synthesis is a highly desirable and challenging task in synthetic endeavors due to their intricate molecular frameworks. Herein, we accomplished the first stereodivergent construction of spiroaminals using chiral bifunctional organocatalyzed intramolecular 1,2-addition followed by an oxa-Michael addition cascade in a high atom and step economical pathway.

Compared with well-developed construction of C-C atropisomers, the synthesis of C-N atropisomers remains in its infancy, which is recognized as both appealing and challenging. Herein, we achieved the first organocatalyzed asymmetric synthesis of C-N atropisomers by formal C-O amination. With the aid of a suitable acid, 3-alkynyl-3-hydroxyisoindolinones reacted smoothly with 1-methylnaphthalen-2-ols to afford a wide range of atropisomers by selective formation of the C-N axis.

The direct functionalization of β-C(sp)-H bonds in enamides has garnered increasing attention within the realm of organic synthesis. However, these remarkable advancements are predominantly dependent on transition metals; limited success has been achieved via organocatalytic catalysis. Herein, we report a CPA-catalyzed β-C(sp)-H functionalization of enamides cascade intramolecular cyclization to synthesize the chiral dihydropyrimido[1,6-]indoles bearing -difluoromethylene.

Asymmetric organocatalyzed multicomponent reactions represent an important toolbox in the field of organic synthesis to build complex scaffolds starting from simple starting materials. The Enders three-component cascade reaction was a cornerstone in the field and a plethora of organocatalyzed cascade reactions followed. However, acetaldehyde was not shown as a successful reaction partner, probably because of its high reactivity.
