An asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of vinyl ethylenecarbonates (VECs) and (E)-3-arylvinyl substituted benzo[d] isothiazole 1,1-dioxides has been developed using the Pd complex of a bidentate phosphoramidite (Me-BIPAM) as the catalyst, providing a wide variety of chiral multistereogenic vinyltetrahydrofurans in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 dr, 99% ee).

In this paper, we designed and synthesized a new type of cyclic carbonates, allenylethylene carbonates (AECs). With AECs as reactive precursors, we developed palladium-catalyzed (3+3) annulation of AECs with nitrile oxides. Various AECs worked well in this reaction under mild reaction conditions. A variety of 5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazine derivatives with allenyl quaternary stereocenters can be accessed in a facile manner in high yields (≤98%).

2-Hydroxyacetophenone (2-HAP) is an important building block for the production of a series of natural products and pharmaceuticals; however, there is no safe, efficient, and economical method for 2-HAP synthesis. Here, a one-pot enzymatic-chemical cascade route was designed for synthesizing 2-HAP based on retrosynthetic analysis. First, a spontaneous proton-transfer reaction was designed using a computational simulation that enabled 2-HAP synthesis from the isomer 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetaldehyde. A route for 2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetaldehyde synthesis was then constructed by introducing the unnatural substrate glyoxylic acid into a C-C ligation reaction catalyzed by Candida tropicalis pyruvate decarboxylase. Assembly and optimization of this enzymatic-chemical cascade route resulted in a final yield of 92.7%. Furthermore, stereospecific carbonyl reductases were introduced to construct a synthetic application platform that enabled further transformation of 2-HAP into (S)- and (R)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol. This method of cascading spontaneous chemical and enzymatic reactions to synthesize chemicals offers insight into avenues for synthesizing other valuable chemicals.

The efficient and stereoselective synthesis of polysubstituted butadienes, especially the multifunctional butadienes, represents a great challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we wish to report a distinctive Pd(0) carbene-initiated decarboxylative olefination approach that enables the direct coupling of diazo esters with vinylethylene carbonates (VECs), vinyl oxazolidinones, or vinyl benzoxazinones to afford alcohol-, amine-, or aniline-containing 1,3-dienes in moderate to high yields and with excellent stereoselectivity. This protocol features operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and gram-scalability. Notably, a structurally unique allylic Pd(II) intermediate was isolated and characterized. DFT calculation and control experiments demonstrated that a rare Pd(0) carbene intermediate could be involved in this reaction. Moreover, the polysubstituted butadienes as novel building blocks were unprecedentedly assembled into macrocycles, which efficiently inhibited the P-glycoprotein and dramatically reversed multidrug resistance in cancer cells by 190-fold.

A palladium/XantPhos-catalyzed [5 + 2] annulation of VECs with electron-deficient alkenes having an isolated carbon-carbon double bond has been developed to afford spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. This study provides an expedient assembly of biologically interesting spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. The easy scalability and versatile transformability of the reaction products were also exhibited.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have been widely used in organometallic chemistry as ligands, as well as standalone organocatalysts in various reactions, mostly using aromatic aldehydes as substrates. We have previously demonstrated the efficiency of azolium-2-carboxylate zwitterions in the hydroxymethylation of aldehydes, especially aliphatic aldehydes, under microwave irradiation. In the present work, we report a series of pentafluorobenzene-based NHC adducts and their efficiency in the hydroxymethylation and self-condensation of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes using microwave irradiation. The free carbenes are released under the reaction conditions and 1,3-dimesityl-2-(perfluorophenyl)imidazolidine and 1,3-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2-(perfluorophenyl)imidazolidine proved to be the most potent precatalysts.
Regioselective three-component synthesis of 1,2-diarylindoles from cyclohexanones, α-hydroxyketones and anilines under transition-metal-free conditions

A facile method for the one-pot synthesis of 1,2-diarylindoles under transition-metal-free conditions is described. Cyclohexanones were used as the aryl sources via the dehydrogenative aromatization process. One C-C and two C-N bonds were selectively formed via a domino reaction. This protocol provides a convenient approach for the construction of valuable bioactive 1,2-diarylindoles from readily available cyclohexanones, α-hydroxyketones and anilines.

Herein, we report a novel stepwise addition-controlled ring size method, to access tetrahydropyrimidines through an operationally simple [3 + 3] cycloaddition of vinylethylene carbonates with triazinanes. Interestingly, we could also use this method for a [3 + 3] oxidative cycloaddition, which allows the facile synthesis of polysubstituted terphenyls under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that vinylethylene carbonates could generate α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as 3-carbon synthons for cycloaddition via a combination process of Pd-catalyzed decarboxylation and β-H elimination.

Transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation synthesis of heterocyclic spiro[4,4]nonanes has persistently witnessed the use of additional stoichiometric transition-metal oxidant when employing C=C bond as the spiro ring closure site. Herein, we have addressed the issue by reporting a redox-neutral strategy for spiro[indene-1,4′-oxa-zolidinones] synthesis via Rh(III)-catalyzed coupling of 4-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2(3H)-ones with alkynes. The synthesis features a broad substrate scope and high regiospecificity.

Cyclic carbonates have long been considered relatively inert molecules acting as protecting groups in complex multistep synthetic routes. This study shows that a concise, yet modular synthesis of indolizidine and quinolizidine alkaloids can be developed from vinyl-substituted cyclic carbonate (VCC) intermediates. Through a highly stereoselective palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction, these alkaloid motifs can be assembled in four synthetic and only two column purification steps. The combined results help to further advance functionalized cyclic carbonates as useful and reactive intermediates in natural product synthesis.
