A transition metal-free and oxidation-free dearomatization of phenols through conjugate addition to generated indol-2-one from 3-bromooxindole is detailed in this report. This methodology offers an effective approach for the synthesis of a range of 3-substituted oxindoles containing contiguous quaternary carbon centers (CQCCs) with yields of up to 99%. The reaction is characterized by mild conditions, exceptional efficiency, environmental compatibility, favorable functional group tolerance, and scalability to large-scale production.

An electrochemical reductive bimolecular cycloaddition of 2-arylideneindane-1,3-diones has been reported for the synthesis of spirocyclopentanole indane-1,3-diones bearing five contiguous stereocenters with vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocenters, especially involving a quaternary carbon center, in moderate to good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities. The present protocol features mild reaction conditions, no external chemical redox reagents, excellent atom economy, and gram-scale synthesis. In addition, a mechanistic investigation indicates that the reactions proceed through a radical pathway.

Natural product synthesis has been the prime focus for the development of new chemical transformations and the drug discovery. The dimeric and oligomeric hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole alkaloids represent a architecturally intriguing class of cyclotryptamine alkaloids. These alkaloids share contiguous stereogenic centers with vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers.

Allylic diboronates are highly valuable reagents in organic synthesis. Existing methods predominantly yield alkyl-substituted allylic diboronates, while the incorporation of electrophilic carbonyl groups conjugated to these allylic systems remains unknown. We present a strain-release promoted cycloaddition-based strategy that enabled access to unprecedented carbonyl conjugated secondary allylic diborons.

A synergistic Pd/Cu catalyst system has been developed for stereodivergent transformation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates and Schiff bases derived from simple amino acids to afford a series of optically active β-branched γ-methyleneglutamic acid derivatives with adjacent tertiary/tertiary and quaternary/tertiary stereocenters in high yields (up to 96 %) with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (>20/1 dr and >99 % ee in most cases) under mild conditions. The use of SKP ligand is disclosed to be crucial for the success of the transformation, and in particular allowing the reaction to proceed at low catalyst loading (0.02 mol % for Pd and 0.
