This study presents the synthesis of novel naphthofurano-iminosugars () using 2,3--isopropylidene D-ribose tosylate (), anilines (), and 1,4-benzoquinone () as starting materials through key iminium ion/enamine intermediates via [3 + 2] cyclization reactions at room temperature. The reaction has unique regioselectivity and stereoselectivity with moderate to excellent yields. The adaptability of this method has been demonstrated using various substituted anilines, on which both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups were well employed in the reactions. Notably, the treatment of the fused multicyclic iminosugar with TFA efficiently leads to an interesting unexpected pyridinium salt (), possible via four sequential steps: deprotection of the 2,3--isopropylidene group, furan ring opening, dehydration condensation of the OH groups, and elimination of water.

An efficient and convenient strategy has been successfully developed for the preparation of novel hydroxylated alkaloid derivatives (also called fused multicyclic iminosugars) from -toluenesulfonylated sugars through a Pictet-Spengler-type mechanism. This method is highly stereoselective, does not require metal catalysts, and capable of conducting gram level reactions (with a 53% yield). Some of such iminosugars had an intermediate antiproliferative effect on HCT116 tumor cells.

A divergent total synthesis of bioactive, naturally occurring decanolides, pinolidoxin and bellidisin C, was accomplished by taking advantage of chiral templates -ribose and -malic acid. In particular, bellidisin C, which is the first total synthesis so far, was achieved through a cascade reaction of reductive elimination and nucleophilic addition in a one-pot process and a sodium-alkoxide-promoted intramolecular lactonization as the key steps.

Development of metal-free conversion of naturally abundant phenols and anilines to the corresponding olefins remains a formidable challenge. The current state of the art relies on the TM-catalyzed Heck coupling of activated phenols (triflates, tosylates, and more) with the olefins. While these advancements are promising, the reaction suffers from branch vs linear selectivity and requires an expensive TM-ligand combination, hazardous organotin reagents, and very high reaction temperature.

Most of chemical sialylation reactions are conducted at extremely low temperatures to achieve the formation of challenging sialic acid linkages with high stereoselectivities. Performing chemical sialylation at room temperature independent of enzymatic methods represents an effective approach, particularly significant in biological and biochemical research. Our study aims to develop a convenient method of providing α-sialyl glycosides.

The documented work highlighted the synthesis of bis(benzotriazol-1-yl) methane derivatives using silicomolybdic acid (SMA) and successfully implemented in the stereoselective synthesis of diverse pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-one and pyridyl isoindolinones derivatives in one-pot. The pyridinamide precursor with diverse alkynes furnished Z-selectivity of pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridin-5-one across exocyclic C=C bond while the various benzamides on treating with 2-ethynyl pyridine afforded (E)-pyridylisoindoline-1-ones as a major isomer. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction provides strong evidence in favor of the existence and orientation of developed compounds.
