Palladium-catalysed diastereoselective hydroesterification of alkenes assisted by the coordinative hydroxyl group in the substrate afforded a variety of chiral γ-butyrolactones bearing two stereocenters. Employing the carbonylation-lactonization products as the key intermediates, the route from the alkenes with single chiral center to chiral THF-fused bicyclic γ-lactones containing three stereocenters was developed.

Electrochemical Oxidative Cascade Cyclization of Alkenyl Alcohols with External Nucleophiles to Access Amino- and Hydroxy-Functionalized -Heterocycles.

A convenient electrochemical oxidative cascade cyclization of alkenes equipped with pendant alcohols with general nucleophiles was developed. Using readily available diarylmethanimine and carboxylic acids as nucleophilic sources, a broad range of internal alkene and terminal alkene substrates could produce RCO- and ArCN-functionalized -heterocycles in moderate to high yields without the requirement for external oxidants and metals. These resulting products can subsequently be hydrolyzed to yield valuable NH- and OH-functionalized tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyranes under mild conditions.

Multisubstituted piperidines are prevalent units in pharmaceuticals. Herein, a photodriven anti-Markovnikov hydroaminative cyclization of a ()/()-isomeric mixture of trisubstituted alkenes using the lactate-derived -symmetric arylthiol catalyst was developed for the synthesis of -2,3-disubstituted piperidines and azepane in high diastereoselectivity and good yields. The origin of diastereoselectivity and the observed different hydroamination rate of alkene with different configurations were elucidated by the experimental and computational investigation.

Article Synopsis
- Chiral nitrogen-containing compounds are essential in various industries, but their synthesis can be challenging due to a vast range of chemical possibilities.
- This research details a selective method to create 3,3-diarylallyl phthalimides, which, when treated with iridium catalysts, transform into 3,3-diarylpropyl amines with very high enantioselectivity (98-99% ee).
- The study highlights the role of alkene purity in achieving high enantioselectivity and illustrates how the resulting chiral propylamines can be used to make important bioactive drugs like tolterodine and tolpropamine.

Article Synopsis
- - P2-Bu, a phosphazene base, effectively catalyzes a three-component reaction that combines diethyl phosphite, cinnamonitrile derivatives, and -Boc imines to create β-aminophosphonates.
- - This reaction is notable for producing compounds with a tetrasubstituted carbon while maintaining high levels of diastereoselectivity.
- - It introduces a new approach for a rare reaction type called 1,1-difunctionalization of an electron-deficient alkene, expanding the methods available for reactions catalyzed by Brønsted bases.
Isochroman-3,4-dione and Tandem Aerobic Oxidation of 4-Bromoisochroman-3-one in the Highly Regio- and Diastereoselective Diels-Alder Reaction for the Construction of Bridged Polycyclic Lactones.

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.
