We report here for the first time a novel difluoromethylated ketimine building block condensed by thioisatin and difluoroethylamine, offering efficient access to a broad range of enantioenriched products bearing difluoroethylamine units (27 examples, ≤98% yield, >99% ee) in the presence of quinine-derived squaramide. Further transformation of the intermediate would generate a variety of versatile functional blocks like α-difluoromethyl amines, β-amino acid, and β-diamine with retention of the enantiomeric excess at the difluoromethyl-bound carbon.

Hypercrosslinked polymers HCP-DMF and HCP-DMF-SO3H containing abundant and flexible DMF moieties were designed and synthesized. Benefitting from the solvation microenvironment provided by the pseudo-DMF moities, the polar HCPs manifested outstanding performances in the conversions of NaN3 to benzylic azides and 1,2,3-triazoles in EtOH (95%), respectively, avoiding the use of risky DMF and improving the separation processes of the products.

The catalytic activity of “pyrrolidine type” fragments included or anchored in the mesoporous silica supports or polymeric frameworks have been fully reported for enantioselective transformation. Nevertheless, low attention was focused on their catalytic abilities to perform base-catalyzed reaction. Accordingly, hybrid materials including pyrrolidine fragments in the mesoporous silica supports were prepared following different synthesis methods, such as micellar and fluoride sol-gel routes in absence of structural directing agents. Their great catalytic performance was explored for various base-catalyzed reactions to the formation of C?C bond through Knoevenagel, Claisen-Schmidt and Henry condensations under microwave irradiation. The benefits of microwave irradiation combined with suitable catalytic properties of pyrrolidine hybrid materials with strong base sites and high accessibility to active centers, allowed carrying out successfully base-catalyzed condensation reactions for the production of fine chemicals. Moreover, the hybrid catalyst exhibited high selectivity and good stability over different catalytic cycles contributing to environmental sustainability.

A library of Sox-pyrrolizidines was rapidly prepared by microwave-assisted, one-pot, three-component, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides from l-proline and isatin, with various β-nitrostyrenes. Nitro-Sox compounds, 4b, 4d and 4e inhibit HEWL amyloid fibril formation by ThT studies with percentages of fluorescence intensity of 55.4, 42.9 and 40.3%, respectively. Further studies with MTT assay, Raman spectroscopy, TEM and molecular docking supported these promising candidates for activity against amyloid misfolding, a phenomenon leading to Alzheimer's disease pathology.

An asymmetric [3+3] cyclization of nitroenynes and 3-pyrrolyloxindoles has been realized with a chiral bifunctional squaramide catalyst. This Michael/Friedel-Crafts cascade strategy provides a facile and efficient access to enantioenriched polycyclic aza-spirooxindoles with 32-95% isolated yields and excellent stereocontrol under mild reaction conditions.

We describe a copper-mediated method that enables the synthesis of seven-membered-ring fused pyrroles (7-mrFPs). The protocol proceeds via an in situ spiro-intermediate ring expansion and tolerates a library of 7-mrFP derivatives with a broad range of functional groups in a simple step with tangible parameters and substrate adaptations. These rare 7-mrFPs are now accessible on a millimolar scale, and selected examples exhibit high antioxidant activity.

Hexaarylbenzene (HAB) derivatives are versatile aromatic systems playing a significant role as chromophores, liquid crystalline materials, molecular receptors, molecular-scale devices, organic light-emitting diodes and candidates for organic electronics. Statistical synthesis of simple symmetrical HABs is known via cyclotrimerization or Diels–Alder reactions. By contrast, the synthesis of more complex, asymmetrical systems, and without involvement of statistical steps, remains an unsolved problem. Here we present a generally applicable synthetic strategy to access asymmetrical HAB via an atom-economical and high-yielding metal-free four-step domino reaction using nitrostyrenes and α,α-dicyanoolefins as easily available starting materials. Resulting domino product—functionalized triarylbenzene (TAB)—can be used as a key starting compound to furnish asymmetrically substituted hexaarylbenzenes in high overall yield and without involvement of statistical steps. This straightforward domino process represents a distinct approach to create diverse and still unexplored HAB scaffolds, containing six different aromatic rings around central benzene core.

A new class of bifunctional hydrogen-bond donor organocatalyst using oxoporphyrinogens having increased intramolecular hydrogen-bond donor distances is reported. Oxoporphyrinogens are highly non-planar rigid macrocycles containing a multiple hydrogen bond-forming binding site. In this work, we describe the first example of non-planar OxPs as hydrogen-bond donor catalysts prepared using a molecular engineering approach of the binding site for dual activation of substrates. The introduction of β-substituents is key to the catalytic activity and the catalysts are able to catalyze 1,4-conjugate additions and sulfa-Michael additions, as well as, Henry and aza-Henry reactions at low catalyst loadings (≤ 1 mol-%) under mild conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies have been carried out and a possible reaction mechanism has been proposed based on the bi-functional activation of both substrates through hydrogen-bonding interactions.

An efficient copper(II)-promoted denitrative trifluoromethylthiolation under mild reaction conditions has been developed for vinyl trifluoromethyl thioethers to construct Cvinyl-SCF3 bonds with stable AgSCF3 as a source of the trifluoromethylthio. This reaction system tolerates a broad range of functional groups to commendably achieve a high product yield and excellent stereoselectivity of E/Z.
