Reflection on the epimerization of the α-stereocenter of sugar nitrones leads to the conclusion that the process may occur through [1,4]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Participation of an ionic mechanism was excluded by a deuterium labeling experiment, and DFT calculations showed a reasonable energy barrier for the proposed [1,4]-shift. Products of the intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the studied nitrones were utilized in the diversity-oriented synthesis of polyhydroxy derivatives of piperidine, indolizidine and quinolizidine. Minimal activity against the screened glucosidases and human melanoma cell lines was observed for some of the obtained compounds.

Given the unique charm of dipole chemistry, intercepting N-O=C dipoles precisely generated by designed processes to develop novel reactivity has become a seminal challenge. The polar fragmentation of 1,3,2-dioxazolidine species generated through the radical addition of excited nitro(hetero)arenes to alkenes represents a significantly underappreciated mechanism for generating N-O=C dipoles. Herein, we present a photoinduced Bartoli indole synthesis by the oxidative cleavage of alkenes with nitro(hetero)arenes.

A new approach for the synthetically important γ-functionalized enals has been developed. The strategy involves rhodium-catalyzed direct C-C & C-S bond forming site-selective γ-difunctionalization of diazoenals with aryl propargyl sulfides via sulfur ylide [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, resulting in the highly functionalized γ-allenyl(sulfanyl)enals in excellent yield at ambient temperature. This highly versatile approach constitutes a viable alternative to the remote carbonyl-directed γ-functionalization of unmodified enals which suffer from competitive side reactions.

A novel gold (I)-catalyzed synthetic strategy has been achieved for an efficient construction of indenylidene derivatives from substituted 1,6-diynes. This reaction describes the unique reactivity of gold catalysis in facilitating the intramolecular [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, 5-exo dig cyclization followed by 1,5-migration of acryl group, resulting in the formation of substituted indenylidenes. Various substituted indenylidenes were successfully synthesized with up to 92 % yields.

Catalytic asymmetric 1,2-allylation of aurone-derived azadienes is very difficult to achieve due to the driving force for aromatization and the greater steric hindrance of 1,2-addition compared with 1,4-addition. By taking advantage of the ability of nitrogen ligated metal complexes, we successfully demonstrated the first example of copper-catalyzed 1,2-allylation of azadienes with allylboronates for the highly enantioselective synthesis of homoallylic amines. Meanwhile, the enantioenriched 1,4-addition products could also be obtained through a subsequent 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement of the 1,2-addition products.

Due to experiencing a challenging dearomatization process, the aromatic sigmatropic rearrangement of allyl naphthyl ethers is a difficult yet efficient method to build useful naphthalenone skeletons. Here, we report a -Claisen rearrangement-based asymmetric dearomatization of allyl α-naphthol ethers enabled by a ,'-dioxide/Co complex. A variety of naphthalenones were obtained in moderate to good yields with good to excellent ee values.
