trans-4,5-Diamino-cyclopent-2-enones (CP) are usually prepared by Lewis acid-catalyzed condensation of furfural and a secondary amine in an organic solvent. The reaction proceeds through the formation of a Stenhouse salt (SS) intermediate followed by an electrocyclization reaction to afford the desired CP. Herein, we described the use of Cu(OTf)2 as a very efficient catalyst for the synthesis of CP in water at room temperature. Furthermore, the mild reaction conditions, catalyst reusability, and outstanding functional group tolerance suggest that this CP platform can be further used in chemical biology.

A new type of chiral super Br?nsted C-H acids, BINOL-derived phosphoryl bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl) methanes (BPTMs), were developed. As compared to widely utilized BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acids (BPAs) and N-Triflyl phosphoramides (NTPAs), BPTMs displayed much higher Br?nsted acidity, resulting in dramatically improved activity and excellent enantioselectivity as demonstrated in catalytic asymmetric Mukaiyama-Mannich reaction, allylic amination, three-component coupling of allyltrimethylsilane with 9-fluorenylmethyl carbamate and aldehydes, and protonation of silyl enol ether. These new strong Br?nsted C-H acids have provided a platform for expanding the chemistry of asymmetric Br?nsted acid catalysis.
Iron-Catalyzed Hydrogen Transfer Reduction of Nitroarenes with Alcohols: Synthesis of Imines and Aza Heterocycles

A straightforward and selective reduction of nitroarenes with various alcohols was efficiently developed using an iron catalyst via a hydrogen transfer methodology. This protocol led specifically to imines in 30-91% yields, with a good functional group tolerance. Noticeably, starting from o-nitroaniline derivatives, in the presence of alcohols, benzimidazoles can be obtained in 64-72% yields when the reaction was performed with an additional oxidant, DDQ, and quinoxalines were prepared from 1,2-diols in 28-96% yields. This methodology, unprecedented at iron for imines, also provides a sustainable alternative for the preparation of quinoxalines and benzimidazoles.
Aza-peterson olefinations: Rapid synthesis of (E)-alkenes
Britten, Thomas K.,Basson, Ashley J.,Roberts, Dean D.,McLaughlin, Mark G.
, p. 3535 - 3544 (2021/06/03)
An aza-Peterson olefination methodology to access 1,3-dienes and stilbene derivatives from the corresponding allyl- or benzyltrimethylsilane is described. Silanes can be deprotonated using Schlosser's base and added to N -phenyl imines or ketones to directly give the desired products in high yields.
