An efficient and eco compatible approach for the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of structurally diverse novel hybrid heterocycles comprising spiropyrrolidine, indenoquinoxaline and indole structural units in excellent yields, has been achieved through a one-pot multicomponent process involving 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition as a key step. The 1,3-dipolar component is the azomethine ylide generated from indenoquinoxaline and l-tryptophan and reacts with various substituted β-nitrostyrenes affording the spiroheterocyclic hybrids. The ring system thus created possesses two C-C and three C-N bonds and four adjacent stereogenic carbons, one of which is quaternary and the reaction proceeded with full diastereomeric control. All the synthesized compounds were assayed for their activity against H37Rv using MABA assay. Interestingly, the compound bearing a 2-fluoro substituent on the aryl ring displayed an equipotent activity (MIC 1.56 μg mL) to ethambutol against H37Rv.

Domino Knoevenagel-cyclization reactions of styrene substrates, containing an -(-formyl)aryl subunit, were carried out with -substituted 2-cyanoacetamides to prepare tetrahydro-4-pyrano[3,4-]quinolone and hexahydrobenzo[]phenanthridine derivatives by competing IMHDA and IMSDA cyclization, respectively. The diastereoselective IMHDA step with α,β-unsaturated amide, thioamide, ester and ketone subunits as a heterodiene produced condensed chiral tetrahydropyran or thiopyran derivatives, which in the case of Meldrum's acid were reacted further with amine nucleophiles in a multistep domino sequence. In order to simplify the benzene-condensed tricyclic core of the targets and get access to hexahydro-1-pyrano[3,4-]pyridine derivatives, a truncated substrate was reacted with cyclic and acyclic active methylene reagents in diastereoselective Knoevenagel-IMHDA reactions to prepare novel condensed heterocyclic scaffolds.

This work describes a chiral bifunctional squaramide/DBU sequential catalytic strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of nonfused chiral eight-membered O-heterocycles through the asymmetric addition of ynones to β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters followed by the regio- and diastereoselective cyclization of the adduct intermediates. Mechanistic experiments revealed that an isomerization process should be involved in the ring formation step, and the origin of the high regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity has also been elucidated by the DFT calculations.

Alantolactone and isoalantolactone are two isomeric sesquiterpene lactones that were isolated from Innula recemosa. Here, we are used for the semisynthesis of novel isoxazolidine hybrids of alantolactone and isoalantolactone through a two-step process: nitrone synthesis followed by nitrone 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The formation of the cycloadduct was well characterized via modern spectroscopic techniques such as HRMS, H NMR, C NMR, DEPT-90, DEPT-135, and 2D NMR.

A highly regio-, enantio- and diastereo-selective strategy involving initial enantioselective conjugate addition to 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles serves as a key step for the desymmetrization of 2,5-cyclohexadienones has been disclosed. We have designed a new class of 2,5-cyclohexadienones appended with 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles to undergo organocatalytic asymmetric double or triple conjugate addition in a domino sequence depending on the substrate type leading to desymmetrization of the 2,5-cyclohexadienone core. The developed protocol allows the construction of a valuable hydrophenanthrene core or a unique bridged scaffold bearing multiple chiral centers with excellent enantio- (up to >99.
