Polyfunctionalized cyclohexanes are privileged scaffolds in drug discovery. Reported herein is a method for synthesizing 1,2,4-trifunctionalized cyclohexanes via diastereoselective reductive Cope rearrangement. The scaffolds obtained can be derivatized by orthogonal functional group interconversion to cyclohexanes bearing a 1-amide, 2-branched arylallyl, and variable 4-functional group.

An electrochemical reductive bimolecular cycloaddition of 2-arylideneindane-1,3-diones has been reported for the synthesis of spirocyclopentanole indane-1,3-diones bearing five contiguous stereocenters with vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocenters, especially involving a quaternary carbon center, in moderate to good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities. The present protocol features mild reaction conditions, no external chemical redox reagents, excellent atom economy, and gram-scale synthesis. In addition, a mechanistic investigation indicates that the reactions proceed through a radical pathway.

A Pd/C-catalyzed dehydrogenative [3 + 2] cycloaddition is described for the diastereoswitchable synthesis of hexahydropyrrolo[2,1-]isoquinolines by altering solvents. The reaction proceeds through a sequential Pd/C-catalyzed dehydrogenative formation of azomethine ylides from tetrahydroisoquinoline acetates and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with 2-nitroethenylbenzenes. This method displayed tunable diastereoselectivity, a broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility.

Herein we report two processes facilitated by diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) for the synthesis of novel bridged polycyclic molecule analogues to natural products. The use of 4-bromoisochroman-3-one initiated an autoxidation reaction, followed by a Diels-Alder cycloaddition in the presence of electron-deficient dienophiles. Mechanistic studies revealed isochromane-3,4-dione as a key intermediate, which undergoes in situ dienolization/dearomatization followed by a [4 + 2] cycloaddition.

In this contribution, a novel, simple, diastereoselective and environmentally benign two-step diversity-oriented synthesis of imidazo[4,5,1-]quinolines is described for the first time. The synthesis of the target compounds involves a deep eutectic solvent-mediated one-pot Povarov reaction leading to the obtention of 8-nitrotetrahydroquinolines, followed by a microwave-assisted reductive cyclocondensation employing different aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. The target compounds were obtained in up to 70% overall yield starting from commercially available -nitroanilines, natural phenylpropanoids (-anethole and -isoeugenol) and aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes.

Herein, we present an economical method for highly enantioselective and diastereoselective Cu-BINAP-catalysed reductive coupling of alkoxyallenes with a range of electronically and structurally diverse ketones to afford 1,2-,-diols, using PMHS as the hydride source. This reductive coupling has also been efficiently employed in the enantioselective desymmetrization of prochiral cyclic ketones harboring quaternary centres, in high yields with exclusive diastereoselectivity. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are used to elucidate that the reaction is facilitated by a kinetically favourable "open" -enolate copper-alkoxyallene conformer, occurring at a lower Gibbs free energy barrier (by 3.
