A novel and highly stereoselective synthesis of Z-β-enaminonitriles from azides and α,β-unsaturated nitriles is reported. The reaction proceeds via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition-ring cleavage-rearrangement cascade mediated by a catalytic amount of Sc(OTf)3. A plausible reaction mechanism for this process is depicted.

Azetidine units are commonly found in natural products and biologically active drugs. The [2 + 2] cycloaddition of imines and alkenes has been extensively used in the synthesis of such structures, while enantioselective approaches remain elusive. Herein, an efficient B(CF)/chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric [2 + 2] cycloaddition of ketimines and aryl vinyl selenides was presented, delivering valuable chiral azetidines with excellent stereoselectivities (>20:1 dr and up to 96:4 er).

Thiochromenes are versatile sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds that have received considerable interest in drug discovery because of their ability to act as crucial building blocks for synthesizing bioactive compounds. In particular, these scaffolds have found utility in the design of anticancer, anti-HIV, antioxidant, and antimicrobial agents, among others. Despite their pharmacological potential, the synthesis of these scaffolds is less explored in contrast to their oxygen-containing counterparts.

The reactions of NHB-stabilized disilyne (NHB)Si≡Si(NHB) (, NHB = [ArN(CMe)NAr]B, Ar = 2,6-PrCH) with internal alkynes were described. Reaction of disilyne with one equivalent of bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene led to a reversible [1 + 2] cycloaddition of one of the Si atoms with the alkyne and the insertion of the other Si into one of Ar rings with the formation of a silirenyl-silepin , whereas reaction of with two equivalents of MeSiCCSiMe resulted in the formal addition of the C-Si bond to the Si≡Si triple bond to give disilene (NHB)(MeSi)Si=Si(CCSiMe)(NHB). Reaction of with 1,3-diyne MeSiCCCCSiMe yielded a 1,2-disilacyclobut-3-ene via cycloaddition, ring expansion, and NHB 1,2-shift sequence.
