A novel method for the construction of 1-azaspirocycles from 5-alkyl-/-arylamine furylcarbinols though intramolecular aza-Piancatelli rearrangement was developed. By using PPh/diethyl azodicarboxylate instead of a Lewis acid, 1-azaspirocyclic compounds were obtained in good yields and the reaction temperature was reduced to room temperature. In addition, substrates with groups that are sensitive to high temperatures or Lewis acids are tolerated under these reaction conditions. This is the first method that is applicable not only to 5-(N-arylaminoalkyl)furylcarbinols with better yields but also to 5-(N-alkylaminoalkyl)furylcarbinols.

With a double objective to upgrade biobased 5-HMF and to access to original spirocycles an intramolecular aza-Piancatelli reaction, a multistep sequence was designed toward appropriate furylcarbinols. The impacts of both the nucleophiles, arylamines compared to alkoxyamines, and the length of the intramolecular tether were studied. After an in-depth evaluation of the different parameters, an extension of the scope provided a library of original azaspiro[4.

A domino approach to bridged cycloocta[]indolone through a cascade of aza-Piancatelli rearrangement/Friedel-Crafts alkylation is developed. This transformation has been realized by reaction of an indole-tethered 2-furylcarbinol and substituted aniline in the presence of a Lewis acid to initiate aza-Piancatelli rearrangement followed by an in situ intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation to access bridged tetracyclic frameworks in one pot.

A chiral ,'-dioxide/cobalt(ii) complex catalyzed highly diastereoselective and enantioselective tandem aza-Piancatelli rearrangement/intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction has been disclosed. Various valuable hexahydro-2,5-epoxycyclopenta[]isoindoles bearing six contiguous stereocenters have been obtained in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantio-selectivities from a wide range of both readily available 2-furylcarbinols and -(furan-2-ylmethyl)anilines.

For the first time, an efficient one-pot method for the construction of an angularly fused 5-6-5 aza-tricyclic framework has been developed in a highly stereoselective manner. This domino reaction is a novel combination of aza-Piancatelli rearrangement and intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, which readily furnishes hexahydro-2a,5-epoxy-cyclopenta[ cd]isoindole adducts, bearing six contiguous stereogenic centers in very good yields. The BBr-mediated cleavage of the oxa-bridged adduct results in the formation of octahydro-1 H-cyclopenta[ cd]isoindole, an aza-tricyclic BCE core of a gracilamine alkaloid.

A chiral Brønsted acid catalyzed highly enantio- and diastereoselective cascade cyclization has been developed to streamline the synthesis of valuable multifunctionalized enantioenriched cyclopenta[ f]pyrrolo[1,2- d][1,4]diazepinones bearing three contiguous stereocenters in high yields with excellent control of stereochemistry from a wide range of both readily available 2-furylcarbinols and (1 H-pyrrol-1-yl)anilines, which represents the first asymmetric intramolecular conjugate addition of α,β-unsaturated cycloketones with inert N-substituted pyrroles as well as the first enantioselective aza-piancatelli rearrangement/Friedel-Crafts alkylation cascade reaction.
