This report discloses a novel Pd-catalyzed sequential three-component multiple reaction of alkenes, bromoalkynes, and boronic acids using alkenes as hydride and alkenyl donors, leading to highly stereoselective assembly of (,)-1,3-diene derivatives. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the generation and reutilization of palladium hydride species are critical to the success of this transformation. In addition, the good functional group compatibility, late-stage modification, and investigation of photophysical properties of 1,3-diene products illustrate the synthetic value of this strategy.

The ever-increasing demand in chemical biology and medicinal research requires the development of new synthetic methods for the rapid construction of libraries of heterocycles from simple raw materials. In this context, the utilization of primary amines or HO as the simple - or -sources in the assembly of a heterocyclic ring skeleton is highly desirable from the viewpoint of atom- and step-economy. Herein, we describe a highly efficient three-component reaction of diazo, allylic diacetates, and commercially available anilines (or HO) to access structurally diverse pyrrolidine and tetrahydrofuran derivatives.

Sequence-defined polymers composed of a large pool of chemically distinct monomers (SDPs) have been pursued to achieve the structural and functional precisions exhibited by biopolymers in nonbiological environments. In contrast to the incremental growth of SDPs by sequential addition of individual monomers, the iterative exponential growth (IEG) method allows the synthesis of high molecular-weight SDPs, but their sequences have been composed mostly of binary monomers. Consequently, achieving high molecular-weight SDPs built with a large pool of monomers remains a challenge.

β-Amino acids serve as crucial building blocks for a broad range of biologically active molecules and peptides with potential as peptidomimetics. While numerous methods have been developed for the synthesis of β-amino acids, most of them require multistep preparation of specific reagents and substrates, which limits their synthetic practicality. In this regard, a homologative transformation of abundant and readily available α-amino acids would be an attractive approach for β-amino acid synthesis.

An unexpected phosphine-catalyzed controllable three-component domino reaction involving [1 + 2 + 2] annulation and [1 + 2 + 2]/[3 + 2] sequential annulation reaction of 2-arylmethylidene cyanoacetates/malononitriles with Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates has been developed. A broad range of densely functionalized cyclopentanes and diquinanes bearing five or four consecutive stereogenic centers, including two all-carbon quaternary stereocenters, were smoothly acquired in moderate to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions from readily available materials. Moreover, this divergent transformation enables the simultaneous generation of three or four new C-C bonds and one or two carbocyclic rings in only one step.

Initially, SBA-Propyl-Isatin-Malononitrile (SBA-Pr-IS-MN) was prepared by the reaction of SBA-Pr-Cl with IS-MN, which was synthesized by the reaction of isatin and malononitrile. This organic and inorganic hybrid material can be functionalized by the sequential reaction with dimedone to obtain the target product SBA-Pr-Is-MN-DM, which was investigated as a chemosensor by fluorescence spectroscopy to detect trace amount of Ag among several other cations in aqueous media.
