The reactions of α-chalcogen, α-halo, or α-amino functionally substituted enals with terminal alkynes leading either to corresponding propargyl alcohols (for O-, S-, Cl-, and Br-bearing substrates) or unexpected 2-amino-2-cyclopentenones (for aminoenals) are described. The key feature of these reactions is the rearrangement of adducts bearing amino groups on silica gel that triggered further cyclization to five-membered carbocycles.

Organocatalytic [4+2] Benzannulation Between 1,4-Dithiane-Based Enal and Nitroolefins to Access 2-Nitrobiaryls.

A simple method for constructing unsymmetrical 2-nitrobiaryls has been developed between substituted 1,4-dithiine-2-carbaldehyde and nitroolefins under metal-free conditions. To gain the advantage of the HOMO-raising effect of temporary substitutions on in situ generated dienamine intermediate, the present protocol established [4+2] benzannulation of 1,4-dithiane-tethered enals with nitroolefin. Further, easy unmasking of 1,4-dithiine units results in a benzannulation product like that of unsubstituted enals, which are difficult to access.

Within this study, we report a simple two-step process for the synthesis of perfluoroalkylated pyrazoles from aliphatic aldehydes. In the photocatalytic first step, the aldehydes are transformed into the corresponding perfluoroalkylated enals, which then undergo nucleophilic attack by hydrazine and subsequent ring closure, providing the fluorinated 3,4-substituted pyrazole products in a 64-84% yield. Using triphenylphosphine and imidazolidinone as organocatalysts, the method is operationally simple and omits heavy metal-containing waste.

The creation of full stereoisomers of an organic compound comprising multiple contiguous stereocenters with simultaneous control over both relative and absolute configurations remains a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry. Using a cooperative catalysis strategy, we established an N-heterocyclic carbene/nickel-catalyzed enantio- and diastereodivergent propargylation reaction to access 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles, enabling the incorporation of internal alkyne functionality and the introduction of a single quaternary or vicinal quaternary/tertiary stereogenic center. By selecting the appropriate combination of catalyst chirality, all four potential stereoisomers of α-quaternary propargylated oxindoles were synthesized in a predictable and precise way with remarkable yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities from identical starting materials.

An enantioselective construction of pyrazolo[3,4-]pyridones was achieved via N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed [3 + 3] annulation of enals with 5-aminopyrazoles. This protocol not only offers a highly efficient synthetic approach for the preparation of various substituted pyrazolo[3,4-]pyridones but also provides an effective method for the rapid synthesis of enantiopure spirooxindone derivatives.

An -heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed chemoselective activation reaction of 1-cyclopropylcarbaldehydes and α-alkynyl enals is reported. NHC selectively catalyzes 1-cyclopropylaldehydes, followed by a [2 + 4] cycloaddition reaction with α-alkynyl enals. The target dihydropyranone derivatives bearing different substituents and substitution patterns can be obtained in good to excellent yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities under mild conditions.
