A highly atom-economical allylation of oxindoles with vinyl cyclopropanes catalyzed by Pd(PPh3)4 has been developed, setting up a practical venue for the installation of an all-carbon quaternary center at the 3-position in oxindoles under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, the reaction proceeded well without any additives and no waste was produced, affording linear products with high regioselectivities (>20 : 1). Enantioselective allylic alkylation has also been realized to provide the desired products in good yields and 35% ee.

Optically pure 1,2-diols and 1,3-diols are the most privileged structural motifs, widely present in natural products, pharmaceuticals and chiral auxiliaries or ligands. However, their synthesis relies on the use of toxic or expensive metal catalysts or suffer from low regioselectivity. Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of optically pure 1,n-diols from bulk chemicals in a highly stereoselective and atom-economical manner remains a formidable challenge.

An efficient and concise synthesis of highly functionalized bridged coumarins has been developed through a diastereoselective double Michael addition reaction of p-quinols with various 4-hydroxy coumarins under catalyst-free conditions in HO-DMSO (8 : 2). The method has been applied to oxindoles for the synthesis of a variety of bridged-oxindoles and bridged-spiroxindoles in presence of a DABCO base using HO-EtOH (8 : 2) as solvent medium. The strategy is simple, highly atom economical as there is no by-product and environmentally benign (E-factor=0.

Chiral γ-amino alcohols are prevalent structural motifs in natural products and bioactive compounds. Nevertheless, efficient and atom-economical synthetic methods toward enantiomerically enriched γ-amino alcohols are still lacking. In this study, a highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed reductive hydroformylation of readily available α-substituted enamides is developed, providing a series of pharmaceutically valuable chiral 1,3-amino alcohols in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities in a single step.

Direct C(sp)-H bond functionalization of the tropone skeleton constitutes an atom-economical strategy to access substituted tropones that exist in some bioactive compounds. Herein, we report a convenient method for the preparation of 2-hydrazinotropones via C(sp)-H bond functionalization. A variety of tropones participated in the dehydrogenative hydrazination reaction with hydrazine, delivering structurally diverse 2-hydrazinotropones in moderate to good yields with extremely high regioselectivity.
