An asymmetric addition/cyclization cascade of amidoesters and iminoquinones is developed using noncovalent N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis. The process enables access to various functionalized benzofuranones with an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter with high yields and ee values. The reaction displays a broad substrate scope. Via product modifications, enantioenriched synthesis of biologically relevant spirocyclic lactones and lactams is achieved. Substrate activation via noncovalent interaction with NHC is suggested for the process.

Visible-light-induced radical-cascade alkylation/cyclization of acrylamides: access to 3,3-dialkylated oxindoles.

A visible-light-induced deoxygenative alkylation/cyclization of acrylamides with alcohols activated by CS has been developed by using xanthate salts as alkyl radical precursors in the presence of tricyclohexylphosphine. It proceeds through a tandem radical addition/cyclization process, and this protocol provides a reliable and practical approach to building the skeleton of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles in moderate to good yields. Notable features of this reaction include readily available starting reagents, broad substrate scope and mild reaction conditions.

Herein, we disclose a cinchona-alkaloid-based squaramide-catalyzed intermolecular oxa-Michael cascade addition cyclization of -protected hydroxyl amine to formyl-tethered Michael acceptors toward the synthesis of enantioenriched 1,2-oxazine scaffolds. Generally, good yield (up to 78%), good to excellent enantiomeric ratio (up to 98:2 er), and excellent regioselectivity (>19:1) were observed. Furthermore, the scalability of this methodology and a successful demonstration of postsynthetic transformations have been accomplished.

We disclose herein an efficient and facile method for the synthesis of SF-containing isoquinolinediones with an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter via intramolecular pentafluorosulfanylation of acrylamides using SFCl as a pentafluorosulfanylation reagent. The protocol proceeds under mild reaction conditions and enjoys a broad substrate scope, wide functional group compatibility, and high atom- and step-economy. A radical mechanism involving the SF radical cascade addition/cyclization of acrylamides is proposed.
