Curcumin has been transformed to racemic curcuminoids via an azomethine ylide cycloaddition reaction using isatin/acenaphthoquinone and proline as the reagents. The products were characterized by extensive 1D/2D NMR analysis and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies. The enantiomers of one racemic product were separated by HPLC on a Chiralcel OD-H column and were indeed confirmed by the CD spectra of the separated enantiomers.

A synthetic strategy of a three-component spiro-pyrrolidine compound based on benzofuran via an [3+2] azomethine ylide cycloaddition reaction is reported herein. Under mild optimal conditions, this reaction can quickly produce potentially bioactive compounds with a wide range of substrates, high yield, and simple operation. The desired products were obtained with a yield of 74-99% and a diastereomeric ratio (dr) of >20:1.

The chiral amine catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition between isatin-derived azomethine ylides and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes was successfully carried out to afford spiro[oxindole-3,2'-pyrrolidine]s. It was anticipated that the formation of azomethine ylides occurred the cycloreversion of dispirooxindole-imidazolidines, which are precursor imine homodimers, in aqueous solvents.

Reactions of cyclic thioureas (1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-thione and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-thione) and ureas (1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-one and 1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-one) with an isolable dialkylsilylene were examined. In these reactions, cyclic thioureas served as sulfur and NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) sources, and the corresponding silanethione and NHC-derived products formed via silanethione-NHC complexes. Reactions of cyclic ureas with the silylene afforded a new NHC and an isolable azomethine ylide.
