First asymmetric decarboxylative cyanomethylation of isatins is reported herewith using bifunctional thiourea derived from l-proline in good yields and enantioselectivities. This strategy enables the construction of various 3-cyanomethylene substituted 3-hydroxyoxindoles in enantioselective manner. Enantioselective synthesis of CPC-1 alkaloid has been accomplished in fewer steps.

Enamides have emerged as robust alternatives for enamines, exhibiting versatile reactivity for further synthetic modifications, including nucleophilic addition, cycloaddition, and asymmetric hydrogenation. While transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkenyl (pseudo)halides with amides has been widely employed to construct this valuable scaffold, it suffers from some limitations, such as the need for transition-metal catalysts and the preparative synthesis of alkenyl (pseudo)halides. In this study, we report a mild and convenient stereoretentive decarboxylative amidation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with easily procurable 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones, providing a practical synthetic route to enamides.

The first Ni-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative strategy for the construction of carbocycles with contiguous quaternary all-carbon stereocenters is reported. The key to the success of these reactions is the utilization of rationally designed allenylic methylene cyclic carbonates as substrates with Ni catalysis. The floppy allenylic group exerts unique electronic properties on the carbonate, which allows further asymmetric nucleophilic annulations with alkenes.

Optically active spirocycles were prepared in a sequence of two palladium-catalyzed reactions. In the first step, racemic α-(-iodophenyl)-β-oxo allyl esters were submitted to the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction, furnishing the α-allylated products with a quaternary stereocenter with good yields and enantioselectivities. Subsequently, these intermediate products were converted in a Heck reaction yielding the spirocyclic structures as a mixture of - and -cyclic regioisomers.

Euphorbialoid A () belongs to the rare diterpenoid family of premyrsinanes and exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects. The 5/7/6/3-membered carbocycle (ABCD-ring) of contains 11 contiguous stereocenters and seven oxygen-containing functional groups. Moreover, four of the six hydroxy groups of are concentrated in the southern sector and flanked by four structurally different acyl groups.

The asymmetric syntheses of naturally occurring biologically relevant -abietane diterpenoids, (-)-taiwaniaquinone G (), and H () have been reported via a chiral pool strategy starting from commercially available abietic acid. A ring contraction of the middle ring of the [6,6,6]-carbotricyclic abietane diterpenoid core was carried out under the Wolff rearrangement. Finally, the synthesis of (-)-taiwaniaquinone H () was completed via a one-pot CAN-mediated oxidative decarboxylation.
