Catalytic asymmetric multicomponent 1,2-boronate rearrangements provide a practical approach for synthesizing highly valuable enantioenriched boronic esters. When applied to alkenyl or heteroaryl boronates, these reactions have relied mainly on transition-metal catalysis. Herein, we present an organocatalytic, Lewis base-catalyzed asymmetric multicomponent 1,2-boronate rearrangement, involving indoles, boronic esters, and Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates, leading to enantioenriched, highly substituted indole and indoline derivatives. Using cinchona alkaloid-based catalysts, high selectivity has been achieved, enabling expansion of the chemical space around pharmaceutically relevant indole and indoline derivatives.

The unique structure and strong interaction of multiphase hybrid materials have garnered significant attention as prospective candidates for electrode materials in the realm of energy storage. The present study presents a rational design of a functional NiSe-CoSe/N, B double-doped carbon hybrid composite (NCS/C), resulting in the emergence of various novel cooperative regulatory mechanisms involving: (i) the heterogeneous structure of NiSe and CoSe generates built-in electric fields to increase electron mobility; (ii) the incorporation of polyatomic double-doped carbon (N, and B) expedites electron transfer rate; intriguingly, (iii) ionic liquids not only serve as polyatomic dopants in the reaction system but also influence the microstructure of the composite. Benefiting from these synergistic effects, the NCS/C hybrid exhibits remarkable charge storage capacity and rapid electrochemical kinetics, driven by its multi-fold hollow structure and multicomponent cooperative modulation.

Imidazo[1,2-]pyridines are privileged heterocycles with diverse applications in medicinal chemistry; however, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of these heterocyclic structures remains underexplored. Herein, we present an efficient and modular approach for the atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral imidazo[1,2-]pyridines via an asymmetric multicomponent reaction. By utilizing a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst, the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé reaction involving various 6-aryl-2-aminopyridines, aldehydes, and isocyanides gave access to a wide range of imidazo[1,2-]pyridine atropoisomers with high to excellent yields and enantioselectivities.
