A highly efficient asymmetric [3+2] and [4+2]-annulation of cyclic -sulfonyl ketimines with γ- or δ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed. This innovative reaction employs an organocatalytic approach, utilizing a hydrogen-bonding bifunctional squaramide-based catalyst. The process enables precise synthesis of chiral polyheterotricyclic oxazolidines and 1,3-oxazinane derivatives, revealing intricate structures with incorporated chiral quaternary centers. Remarkably, this method delivers high yields and exceptional enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities, achieving up to 99% yield, >20 : 1 dr, and >99% ee.

The chemoselective [4+2] annulation/aromatization reactions between benzofuran-derived azadienes and N-Ts cyanamides are developed, affording a convenient method for synthesizing benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidin-2-amines under mild conditions. Herein, N-Ts cyanamides participated in reactions selectively via carbodiimide anion intermediates and the corresponding cyanamide anion intermediates derived products were not observed. The proposed chemoselective stepwise reaction mechanism was well supported by DFT calculations.

Herein we report a catalytic enantioselective (3+2) annulation, in which a vinyl phosphonium intermediate serves as the 2-carbon component. The reaction involves an α-umpolung β-umpolung coupling sequence, enabled by β-haloacrylates and chiral enantioenriched phosphepine catalysts. The reaction shows good generality, providing access to an array of cyclopentenes, with mechanistic studies supporting stereospecific formation of the vinyl phosphonium intermediate which, then undergoes annulation with turn over limiting catalyst elimination.

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of spiropyridazine-benzosultams has been developed by means of [4 + 2] annulation reaction of 3-substituted benzoisothiazole 1,1-dioxides with 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes. This approach displays advantages such as mild reaction conditions, wide substrate range tolerance, simple operation, compatibility with gram-scale preparation.

The search for efficient and selective methods for the divergent synthesis of multi-substituted aminotetralins is of much interest and importance. We report herein for the first time the diastereoselective [4+2] annulation of 2-methyl aromatic aldimines with alkenes via benzylic C(sp )-H activation by half-sandwich rare-earth catalysts, which constitutes an efficient route for the divergent synthesis of both trans and cis diastereoisomers of multi-substituted 1-aminotetralin derivatives from readily accessible aldimines and alkenes. The use of a scandium catalyst bearing a sterically demanding cyclopentadienyl ligand such as C Me SiMe or C Me exclusively afforded the trans-selective annulation products in the reaction of aldimines with styrenes and aliphatic alkenes.

Available pyrrolylalkynones with tetrahydroindolyl, cycloalkanopyrrolyl, and dihydrobenzo[]indolyl moieties, acylethynylcycloalka[]pyrroles, are readily annulated with Δ-pyrrolines (MeCN/THF, 70 °C, 8 h) to afford a series of novel pyrrolo[1',2':2,3]imidazo[1,5-]indoles and cyclohepta[4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-]pyrrolo[1,2-]imidazoles functionalized with an acylethenyl group in up to an 81% yield. This original synthetic approach contributes to the arsenal of chemical methods promoting drug discovery. Photophysical studies show that some of the synthesized compounds, e.
