A domino method for the rapid syntheses of 1-azabicyclo[x.y.0]alkane scaffolds, such as indolizidines, quinolizidines, decahydropyridoazepines, and their derivatives, has been developed. This strategy involved a rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of allyl-, 3-butenyl-, or homoallyl amides, followed by two spontaneous ring closures under mild conditions. The reaction scope and diastereoselectivity were fully explored by changing the substitution pattern on the amide and by altering the length of the carbon chain. This method was applied to the syntheses of natural alkaloids tashiromine and epilupinine. The clear differences between the reactivities of two isomeric amide substrates, 3-butenamide 1 j and homoallyl amide 1 i, could be attributed to better HOMO-LUMO overlap in the transition states that were derived from butenamides during cyclization. This explanation was supported by DFT calculations.

A facile synthetic method for 4-aryl-4,5-dihydropyrrole-3-carboxylates is developed, with a rhodium-catalyzed ring expansion strategy from readily available 2-(azetidin-3-ylidene) acetates and aryl boronic acids. Mechanistic investigations suggest a novel domino "conjugate addition/N-directed α-C(sp)-H activation" process. The asymmetric catalytic synthesis of the 4-aryl-4,5-dihydropyrrole-3-carboxylate is realized by using QuinoxP* (91-97% ee).

The Rh-catalyzed ortho-C(sp )-H functionalization of 8-aminoquinoline-derived benzamides with aliphatic acyl fluorides generated in situ from the corresponding acids has been developed. This reaction initiated with 8-aminoquinoline-directed ortho-C(sp )-H acylation, which was accompanied by subsequent intramolecular nucleophilic acyl substitution of amide group to produce alkylidene phthalides This approach exhibits high stereo-selectivity for Z-isomer products, and tolerates a variety of functional groups as well as aliphatic carboxylic acids with diverse structural scaffolds.

Enantioenriched spiro-oxiranes bearing three contiguous stereocenters were synthesized using a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric addition/aldol/spirocyclization sequence. Starting from a linear substrate, the cascade enabled the formation of a spirocyclic framework in a single step. sp - and sp-hybridized carbon nucleophiles were found to be competent initiators for this cascade, giving arylated or alkynylated products, respectively.
