A divergent synthetic strategy to functionalize the indole nucleus with readily available 2-furylcarbinols was developed. It was found that the 3-(4-oxo-2-cyclopentenyl)indoles were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 89%) through Piancatelli reaction catalyzed by ZnCl, whereas employment of Brønsted acid TFA afforded directly coupled product 3-(2-furyl)indoles in moderate to good yields (up to 87%) via the deprotonation-rearomatization route.

4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-one (FAc) is obtained by aldol condensation of furfural and acetone and has been used in hydrodeoxygenation reactions to obtain fuel products using noble metal catalysts. The hydrogenation of FAc in the aqueous phase using metallic- and Re oxide-supported catalysts on graphite was studied, within a temperature range of 200-240 °C, in a batch reactor over a 6 h reaction period. The catalysts were characterized using N adsorption-desorption, TPR-H, TPD-NH, XRD, and XPS analyses.

A chiral Brønsted acid/Pd that cooperatively catalyzed the asymmetric cascade aza-Piancatelli rearrangement/hydroamination of readily accessible alkynyl-functionalized tertiary furylcarbinols with anilines has been developed. This protocol provides expedient access to a variety of densely functionalized cyclopenta[]pyrroline derivatives in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities.

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 novel one-pot protocol that enables sequential execution of an aza-Piancatelli rearrangement and a Conia-ene type reaction has been developed under Lewis acid catalysis. Here, a combination of B(CF) and Cu(OTf), triethylamine, and triphenylphosphine yielded a wide range of -fused cyclopentenone-pyrrolidine scaffolds in one pot with good yields and diastereoselectivity.

The first highly enantioselective oxa-Piancatelli rearrangement has been developed. This process which is catalyzed by a chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acid rearranges a wide range of furylcarbinols into densely substituted γ-hydroxy cyclopentenones in high yield with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 99 : 1 er). This reaction exhibits a high functional group tolerance and was applied to complex bioactive molecules as well.
