The synthesis of 5-substituted 6,6a-dihydroisoindolo[2,1-a]quinolin-11(5H)-ones via [4 + 2] imino-Diels-Alder cyclization from N-aryl-3-hydroxyisoindolinones and N-vinyl lactams under Lewis acid-catalysed anhydrous conditions is reported. Reactions of N-(2-substituted-aryl)-3-hydroxyisoindolinones with N-vinylpyrrolidone under identical conditions resulted in the formation of 2-(2-substitued-aryl)-3-(2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)vinyl)isoindolin-1-one analogues indicating steric hinderance as the cause of deviation. The probable mechanism of the reaction based on the results from X-ray crystallography and molecular modelling is discussed.

This review reports the achievements in copper(II) triflate-catalyzed processes concerning the multicomponent reactions, applied to the synthesis of acyclic and cyclic compounds. In particular, for the heteropolycyclic systems mechanistic insights were outlined as well as cycloaddition and aza-Diels-Alder reactions were included. These strategies have gained attention due to their highly atom- and step-economy, one-step multi-bond forming, mild reaction conditions, low cost and easy handling.

Asymmetric cycloaddition is a straightforward strategy which enables the synthesis of structurally distinct cyclic derivatives which are difficult to access by other methodologies, using an efficient and atom-economical path from simple precursors. In recent years several asymmetric catalytic cyclization strategies have been accomplished for the construction of -heterocycles using various catalytic systems such as chiral metal catalysts, chiral Lewis acids or chiral organocatalysts. This review presents an overview of the recent advances in enantioselective cyclization reactions of 1-azadienes catalyzed by non-covalent organocatalysts.

A copper catalyzed enantioselective formal aza-Diels-Alder reaction of formed 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes from α-halohydrazones and vinyl diazo compounds was described. The protocol provides a variety of optically enriched diazo-containing tetrahydropyridazines in moderate yields and with up to excellent enantioselectivities. The present methodologies utilize chiral oxazolines as the chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis and feature mild reaction conditions, readily available substrates, and broad substrate scope.

Aza-Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction is a critical synthetic method for the production of bioactive tetrahydroquinolines. To this aim, an imine obtained from the reaction of an aniline derivative and a carbonyl compound is cyclized with an alkene in the presence of a catalyst. In this research, some tetrahydroquinoline compounds are synthesized through aza-Diels-Alder reaction in the presence of a prepared Ce(III) immobilized on the functionalized halloysite (Ce/Hal-TCT-IDA) as a catalyst.

A series of seven new -phenyl BODIPY-pyrrolo[3,4-]pyridin-5-one conjugates were synthesized in one experimental step by using a Sc(III)-catalyzed Ugi-Zhu three-component reaction coupled to a cascade sequence ( Diels-Alder/-acylation/aromatization) as post-MCR functionalization process. Further experimental studies were performed behind understanding the fluorescence response toward viscosity. All compounds exhibited a linear response between increasing viscosity (DMSO and glycerol mixtures) and fluorescence intensity.
