N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed [3 + 3] annulation of thioamides with modified enals allowing the enantioselective synthesis of functionalized 1,3-thiazin-4-ones is reported. The NHC generated from the chiral triazolium salt was optimal and the reaction is initiated by the thia-Michael addition to catalytically generated α,β-unsaturated acylazolium intermediates derived from 2-bromoenals, followed by intramolecular cyclization. This operationally simple procedure offers a straightforward and rapid access to target compounds in moderate to good yields and enantiomeric ratio values.

Developing asymmetric transformations using electroredox and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed radical pathways is still desirable and challenging. Herein, we report an iodide-promoted β-carbon activation (LUMO-lowering process) of enals via electroredox carbene catalysis coupled with a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This strategy offers an environmentally friendly and sustainable route for rapidly assembling synthetically useful chiral naphthopyran-3-one in good to excellent yield and enantioselectivity using traceless electrons as inexpensive and greener oxidants.

Oxidative cleavage of olefins is a useful reaction in organic synthesis. The most well-known catalytic system is the osmium based Lemieux-Johnson catalyst, which generally requires high catalyst loading and tends to suffer from rapid overoxidation to produce the acid predominantly. Hence, the development of a mild, general, and selective method toward the oxidative cleavage of alkenes to carbonyl compounds is highly desired.

Rapid construction of functionalized aza-anthraquinones has been successfully developed via NHC-catalyzed formal [3 + 3] annulation of 2-aminoquinones with enals. This reaction features several advantages, such as readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and flexible product transformations. The study on the atroposelective version of this strategy was also carried out, and several C-N axial chiral aza-anthraquinones were synthesized in moderate yields with moderate to good enantioselectivities.

We disclose the synthesis of a tricyclic fused N-heterocycle via the NHC-catalyzed annulation of either a ynal or an alkynyl ester with readily accessible benzoxazolyl acetate. While the annulation with ynals requires an oxidant, the reaction with alkynyl esters proceeds via the direct generation of alkynyl acylazolium intermediates with an NHC. With the dearth of catalytic processes to access these 1-benzoxazolo[3,2-]pyridin-1-ones from simple starting materials, this method is especially important.

In this Letter, we disclose the development and exploitation of umpolung reactivity of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysts in generating tetracyclic indole derivatives with the introduction of a cycloheptane ring forming event. The NHC-catalyzed intramolecular vinylogous Stetter, Stetter, benzoin, and formal cross-dehydrogenative coupling transformations have been executed, enabling the construction of 3,4-cycloheptannulated indole derivatives in good to excellent yields. The developed protocols utilize an inexpensive catalyst and feature operational simplicity, atom economy, gram-scale syntheses, and postsynthetic availability.
