Herein we present a Zn-ProPhenol-catalyzed double Mannich reaction between ynones and imines that generates 1,3-diamines in excellent yield as well as diastereo- and enantioselectivity (>99.5% ). With 2.2 equiv of a single imine electrophile, we obtain -symmetrical diamines whereas, with two different imine partners, we obtain unsymmetrically substituted 1,3-diamines with three contiguous stereocenters. In addition, we showcase the utility of these double Mannich adducts by transforming the 1,3-diamine motif into a variety of interesting products.

A new Mannich base (2-(4-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzyl)-piperazin-1-yl)methyl)-6-methoxy-4-ethylphenol (H2L) and its tetranuclear Ni complex [NiL(μ-Cl)(HO)]Cl (compound 1) are characterised using single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. Compound 1 contains four different Ni centres in a rhombus-like structure. Two Ni atoms (Ni1 and Ni2) have a NiNO coordination sphere, while the other two (Ni3 and Ni4) have a NiOCl coordination environment and Ni-Cl-Ni bridges connect them.

This study presents a promising method for creating high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. The approach involves crafting a unique composite material-nickel-cobalt-layered double hydroxides (NiCo-LDH) grown on carbon nanoballs (CNBs). This is achieved by first creating a special carbon material rich in oxygen and nitrogen from a polybenzoxazine source.

Sequential oxidative cleavage and double-Mannich reactions enable the stereoselective conversion of simple norbornenes into complex alkaloid-like structures. The products undergo a wide range of derivatization reactions, including regioselective enol triflate formation/cross-coupling sequences and highly efficient conversion to an unusual tricyclic 8,5,5-fused lactam. Overall, the process represents a formal one-atom aza-ring expansion with concomitant bridging annulation, making it of interest for the broader derivatization of alkene feedstocks.

A catalytic asymmetric vinylogous Mannich-type reaction between β,γ-unsaturated amides and ketimines has been developed in excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. The methodology provides an efficient approach to construct chiral homoallylic amines with a 3-amino-2-oxindole scaffold. Moreover, the transformations of the chiral products, including the removal of the pyrazole group or Boc group, the reduction of the C-C double bond, and Suzuki coupling, have been investigated.

Skeleton rearrangement could rapidly transfer simple molecules to complex structures and has significant potential in the total synthesis of natural products. We developed a one-pot reaction cascade of double oxidative rearrangement of furan and indole followed by a nucleophilic cyclization that was successfully applied for the formal synthesis of rhynchophylline/isorhynchophylline and the first total synthesis of (±)-7()-geissoschizol oxindole/(±)-7()-geissoschizol oxindole. In addition, the geissoschizol oxindoles were revised to their C3 epimers, and the mechanism for the reversed stereochemistry through the retro-Mannich/Mannich cascade was proposed and supported by density functional theory calculations.
