Abstract
Morpholines are widespread in many biologically and catalytically active agents, thus being an important aim of pharmaceutical and synthetic chemists. However, efficient strategies for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral morpholines bearing crowded stereogenic centers still remain elusive. Herein, we disclose a Cu-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic amination/desymmetrization strategy to help resolve this challenge. As a result, two kinds of structurally various chiral morpholines bearing rich functional groups and N-α-quaternary stereocenters were produced with high efficiency and selectivity (42 examples, up to 91 % yield, 97:3 er and > 19:1 dr). In addition, a series of transformations were performed to demonstrate the synthetic utility of this methodology. In particular, a hit compound for new antitumor drugs was identified through cellular evaluation. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations reveal that, hydrogen bonding in the key copper-allenylidene intermediate together with π-π stacking aids remote enantioinduction.

Abstract
The chemoselective N-H insertion of unsymmetrical diamines into carbene is a longstanding challenge. A simple copper-catalyzed strategy for synthesizing C-substituted piperazinones is described, employing easily accessible diazo compounds and 1,2-diamines. The reaction proceeded via chemo-selective carbene insertion at the comparatively less nucleophilic amine, followed by instantaneous cyclization. The protocol was further extended to access NH-free piperazinone, and the synthesis of a Mianserin derivative.

Abstract
Acid-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization or rearrangement of isoindolinone derivatives is described. 3-Hydroxy/ethoxy-3,4-dihydro-6H-[1,4]-oxazino-[3,4-a]-isoindol-6-ones are obtained in moderate to good yields. Further acid-catalyzed intramolecular rearrangement reactions give 6H-isochromeno-[4,3-b]-pyridin-6-ones. The mild reaction conditions with convenient starting materials show broad substrate scope and provide the target compounds as novel pesticide leads with good fungicidal or systemical acquired resistance activities.

Abstract
Morpholines and morpholinones are important building blocks in organic synthesis and pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry, however, C3-disubstituted morpholines/morpholinones are extremely difficult to access. Here we show the ZnCl2-catalyzed cyclizative 1,2-rearrangement for the efficient synthesis of morpholinones bearing aza-quaternary stereocenters. A series of structurally diverse C3-disubstituted morpholin-2-ones which are difficultly accessible by existing methods were efficiently constructed from readily available two achiral linear compounds. Notably, mechanistic studies reveal that this reaction proceeds via an unusual sequence of direct formal [4 + 2] heteroannulation regioselectively delivering specific α-iminium/imine hemiacetals followed by a 1,2-esters or amides shift process, which is different from the reported mechanism of the aza-benzilic ester rearrangements.

Abstract
Piperazine is one of the most frequently found scaffolds in small-molecule FDA-approved drugs. In this study, a general approach to the synthesis of piperazines bearing substituents at carbon and nitrogen atoms utilizing primary amines and nitrosoalkenes as synthons was developed. The method relies on sequential double Michael addition of nitrosoalkenes to amines to give bis(oximinoalkyl)amines, followed by stereoselective catalytic reductive cyclization of the oxime groups. The method that we developed allows a straightforward structural modification of bioactive molecules (e.g., α-amino acids) by the conversion of a primary amino group into a piperazine ring.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with extremely limited clinical treatment options. Because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), it is difficult for anti-GBM drug candidates to enter the brain to exert their therapeutic effects. The spirocyclic skeleton structure exhibits good lipophilicity and permeability, enabling small-molecule compounds to cross the BBB. Herein, we designed and synthesized novel 3-oxetanone-derived spirocyclic compounds containing a spiro[3.4]octane ring and determined their structure-activity relationship for antiproliferation in GBM cells. Among these, the chalcone-spirocycle hybrid 10m/ZS44 exhibited high antiproliferative activity in U251 cells and permeability in vitro. Furthermore, 10m/ZS44 activated the SIRT1/p53-mediated apoptosis pathway to inhibit proliferation in U251 cells, whereas it minimally impaired other cell-death pathways, such as pyroptosis or necroptosis. In a mouse xenograft model, 10m/ZS44 exhibited a substantial inhibitory effect on GBM tumor growth without showing obvious toxicity. Overall, 10m/ZS44 represents a promising spirocyclic compound for the treatment of GBM.

Abstract
B(C6F5)3 was found to catalyze an unusual double reduction of oxetanes by hydrosilane with aryl migration via neighboring group participation. Control experiments suggested that the phenonium ion serves as the key intermediate. Minor modification of this protocol also led to simple hydrosilylative opening of oxetanes.

Abstract
The structures and non-covalent interactions at play in the 3-oxetanone homodimer have been investigated using a pulsed jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer supplemented with quantum chemical calculations. Two isomers were identified in the pulsed jet. With the analyses of non-covalent intermolecular interactions including the quantum theory of atoms, Johnson's non-covalent interactions and natural bond orbital, the observed global minimum is stabilized by a combination of one sp2-C⋯O tetrel bond and a network of multiple C-H⋯O weak hydrogen bonds. The second isomer is characterized by carbonyl-carbonyl interactions, with the formation of one sp2- and one sp3-C⋯O tetrel bond. The conformational population of the two observed isomers in the supersonic expansion was estimated to be NCE1/NCC1 ≈ 7/5.

Abstract
An efficient palladium-catalyzed reaction of N-propargyl oxazolidines for the construction of 4-substituted isoquinolines under microwave irradiation is developed. This transformation proceeds through a sequential palladium-catalyzed reductive cyclization/ring-opening/aromatization cascade via C-O and C-N bond cleavages of the oxazolidine ring. The practical value of this method has also been explored by conducting a millimole-scale reaction, as well as by transforming the isoquinoline into a key intermediate for the synthesis of a lamellarin analogue.

Abstract
Strain relief of oxetanes offers a plethora of opportunities for the synthesis of chiral alcohols and ethers. In this context, enantioselective desymmetrization has been identified as a powerful tool to construct molecular complexity and this has led to the development of elegant strategies on the basis of transition metal, Lewis acid, and Brønsted acid catalysis. This review highlights recent examples that harness the inherent reactivity of prochiral oxetanes and offers an outlook on the immense possibilities for synthetic application.

Abstract
The ability and preference of 3-oxetanone to form hydrogen or tetrel bonds have been investigated in its complexes with water and formaldehyde by using Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy complemented with quantum chemical calculations. Different types of interactions and internal dynamics have been observed in the targeted complexes. With water, the ether oxygen of 3-oxetanone is the favoured interaction site forming a classical O-HO hydrogen bond. Quite differently, the carbonyl group of 3-oxetanone plays the dual role as a tetrel donor and a proton acceptor in the 3-oxetanone-formaldehyde complex, featuring the CO tetrel bond and C-HO weak hydrogen bond interactions. Splittings originated from the internal rotation of formaldehyde around its C2 axis were also observed. The V2 barrier was estimated to be 375(10) cm-1 based on Meyer's one-dimensional flexible model. The changes in geometries and electronic densities upon complexation would shed light on the impact of archetype solvent and organic substrate molecules on the reactivity of 3-oxetanone.

Abstract
3-Substituted oxetanes are valuable monomers for modern ring-opening polymerizations. A new solid-state oxidizer, 3,3-dinitratooxetane (C3H4N2O7), which has an oxygen content of 62.2% was synthesized by the addition of N2O5 to oxetan-3-one. Monoclinic single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction (ρ 1.80 g cm-3) were obtained by recrystallization from dichloromethane. In addition, 3-nitratooxetane was prepared by an improved method and 3-nitrato-3-methyloxetane was synthesized for the first time. Theoretical calculations were computed by the EXPLO5 software and additionally sensitivities towards impact and friction were determined.

Abstract
Spirocyclic nitroxyl radicals (SNRs) are stable paramagnetics bearing spiro-junction at a-, b-, or g-carbon atom of the nitroxide fragment, which is part of the heterocyclic system. Despite the fact that the first representatives of SNRs were obtained about 50 years ago, the methodology of their synthesis and their usage in chemistry and biochemical applications have begun to develop rapidly only in the last two decades. Due to the presence of spiro-function in the SNRs molecules, the latter have increased stability to various reducing agents (including biogenic ones), while the structures of the biradicals (SNBRs) comprises a rigid spiro-fused core that fixes mutual position and orientation of nitroxide moieties that favors their use in dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) experiments. This first review on SNRs will give a glance at various strategies for the synthesis of spiro-substituted, mono-, and bis-nitroxides on the base of six-membered (piperidine, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, 9,9'(10H,10H')-spirobiacridine, piperazine, and morpholine) or five-membered (2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole, pyrrolidine, 2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole, 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole, imidazolidine, and oxazolidine) heterocyclic cores.

Abstract
Despite the versatility of amphoteric molecules, stable and easily accessible ones are still limitedly known. As a result, the discovery of new amphoteric reactivity remains highly desirable. Herein we introduce 3-aminooxetanes as a new family of stable and readily available 1,3-amphoteric molecules and systematically demonstrated their amphoteric reactivity toward polarized π-systems in a diverse range of intermolecular [3 + 2] annulations. These reactions not only enrich the reactivity of oxetanes, but also provide convergent access to valuable heterocycles.

Abstract
Skeletal reorganization is a type of fascinating transformations owing to their intriguing mechanisms and utility in complex molecule synthesis. However, only a limited amount of examples are known for most functional groups. Herein, we describe such an unusual process of oxetanes. In the presence of In(OTf)3 as catalyst, oxetane-tethered anilines reacted unexpectedly to form 1,2-dihydroquinolines. This process not only provides expedient access to dihydroquinolines, but also represents a new reaction of oxetane. Mechanistically, it is believed that the reaction proceeds through initial nitrogen attack rather than arene attack followed by a series of bond cleavage and formation events. Control experiments provided important insights into the mechanism.

Abstract
Crude glycerol (C3H8O3) is a major by-product of biodiesel production from vegetable oils and animal fats. The increased biodiesel production in the last two decades has forced glycerol production up and prices down. However, crude glycerol from biodiesel production is not of adequate purity for industrial uses, including food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The purification process of crude glycerol to reach the quality standards required by industry is expensive and dificult. Novel uses for crude glycerol can reduce the price of biodiesel and make it an economical alternative to diesel. Moreover, novel uses may improve environmental impact, since crude glycerol disposal is expensive and dificult. Glycerol is a versatile molecule with many potential applications in fermentation processes and synthetic chemistry. It serves as a glucose substitute in microbial growth media and as a precursor in the synthesis of a number of commercial intermediates or fine chemicals. Chlorinated derivatives of glycerol are an important class of such chemicals. The main focus of this review is the conversion of glycerol to chlorinated derivatives, such as epichlorohydrin and chlorohydrins, and their further use in the synthesis of additional downstream products. Downstream products include non-cyclic compounds with allyl, nitrile, azide and other functional groups, as well as oxazolidinones and triazoles, which are cyclic compounds derived from ephichlorohydrin and chlorohydrins. The polymers and ionic liquids, which use glycerol as an initial building block, are highlighted, as well.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed enantioselective transformation of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane-derived aminotriols was developed to provide multisubstituted oxazolines with a tetrasubstituted carbon center. The present transformation consisted of sequential reactions involving mono-sulfonylation of aminotriols, subsequent intramolecular cyclization to afford prochiral oxazoline diols, and sulfonylative asymmetric desymmetrization of resultant oxazoline diols. In addition, the kinetic resolution process would be involved in the sulfonylative asymmetric desymmetrization step, which would amplify the enantiopurities of the desired products. Various aminotriols were tolerated in the present reaction, affording the desired oxazolines in good to high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The synthetic utility of the present reaction was demonstrated by the transformation of the optically active oxazoline into a chiral α-tertiary amine motif.

Abstract
A new catalytic protocol for the expedient synthesis of oxazolines from oxetanes is disclosed. This mild process complements the conventional oxazoline synthesis based on non-catalytic cyclization of β-hydroxy or unsaturated amides. It is also a new addition to the reactivity profile of oxetanes leading to heterocycles. In the presence of In(OTf)3, various 3-amido oxetanes underwent smooth intramolecular cyclization to form the corresponding 2-oxazolines, including some valuable oxazoline-based bidentate ligands. This protocol also provides rapid access to various natural products and antibacterial molecules.

Abstract
An enantioselective synthesis of diverse N4-Boc-protected α,α-disubstituted piperazin-2-ones using the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation reaction has been achieved. Using a chiral Pd-catalyst derived from an electron deficient PHOX ligand, chiral piperazinones are synthesized in high yields and enantioselectivity. The chiral piperazinone products can be deprotected and reduced to valuable gem-disubstituted piperazines. This reaction is further extended to enable the enantioselective synthesis of α,α-disubstituted tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ones, which are hydrolyzed into corresponding chiral β2,2-amino acids.

Abstract
A novel and efficient methodology concerning the Pd(ii)-catalyzed intermolecular difunctionalization of conjugated dienes is reported to synthesize a series of functionalized morpholines and 2-morpholones. Widely distributed and easily obtained β-amino alcohols and α-amino acids, as starting nitrogen and oxygen sources, are successfully applied in the difunctionalization of conjugated dienes respectively. The majority of the desired products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. Oxygen was successfully employed as a terminal oxidant. Further transformation of the generated products allowed for the expansion of structural diversity.

Abstract
Chiral allylic amines are not only present in many bioactive compounds, but can also be readily transformed to other chiral amines. Therefore, the asymmetric synthesis of chiral allylic amines is highly desired. Herein, we report two types of Ni(II)-catalyzed asymmetric alkenylation of cyclic ketimines for the preparation of chiral allylic amines. When ketimines bear alkyl or alkoxycarbonyl groups, the alkenylation gives five- and six-membered cyclic α-tertiary allylic amine products with excellent yields and enantioselectivities under mild reaction conditions. A variety of ketimines can be used and the method tolerates some variation in alkenylboronic acid scope. Furthermore, with alkenyl five-membered ketimine substrates, an alkenylation/rearrangement reaction occurs, providing seven-membered chiral sulfamide products bearing a conjugated diene skeleton with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Mechanistic studies reveal that the ring expansion step is a stereospecific site-selective process, which can be catalyzed by acid (Lewis acid or Brønsted acid). Chiral allylic amines are often encountered in bioactive compounds and can be conveniently transformed into other chiral amines. Here, the authors report nickel-catalyzed enantioselective addition and addition/ring-expansion of alkenylboronic acids to ketimines providing a range of valuable chiral azaheterocycles.

Abstract
Polyketides are a large class of bioactive natural products with a wide range of structures and functions. Polyketides are biosynthesized by large, multidomain enzyme complexes termed polyketide synthases (PKSs). One of the primary challenges when studying PKSs is the high reactivity of their poly-β-ketone substrates. This has hampered structural and mechanistic characterization of PKS-polyketide complexes, and, as a result, little is known about how PKSs position the unstable substrates for proper catalysis while displaying high levels of regio- and stereospecificity. As a first step toward a general plan to use oxetanes as carbonyl isosteres to broadly interrogate PKS chemistry, we describe the development and application of an oxetane-based PKS substrate mimic. This enabled the first structural determination of the acyl-enzyme intermediate of a ketosynthase (KS) in complex with an inert extender unit mimic. The crystal structure, in combination with molecular dynamics simulations, led to a proposed mechanism for the unique activity of DpsC, the priming ketosynthase for daunorubicin biosynthesis. The successful application of an oxetane-based polyketide mimic suggests that this novel class of probes could have wide-ranging applications to the greater biosynthetic community interested in the mechanistic enzymology of iterative PKSs.

Abstract
The ubiquitous use of π-rich five-membered heterocycles has driven the development of new methods for their synthesis for more than a century. Here, we disclose a general and reliable reaction manifold for the construction of highly substituted heterocycles through a facile Lewis-acid-catalyzed oxetane rearrangement. Notably, this methodology employs a keto-oxetane motif as a 1,4-dicarbonyl surrogate, which can be synthesized using robust alkylation or alkenylation reactions, and thus obviates the need to access 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds via umpoled starting materials. We harnessed this reactivity to generate a broad range of substituted furans and pyrroles, and extended this methodology to produce benzo-fused versions thereof.

Abstract
Piperazine ranks within the top three most utilized N-heterocyclic moieties in FDA-approved small-molecule pharmaceuticals. Herein we summarize the current synthetic methods available to perform C-H functionalization on piperazines in order to lend structural diversity to this privileged drug scaffold. Multiple approaches such as those involving α-lithiation trapping, transition-metal-catalyzed α-C-H functionalizations, and photoredox catalysis are discussed. We also highlight the difficulties experienced when successful methods for α-C-H functionalization of acyclic amines and saturated mono-nitrogen heterocyclic compounds (such as piperidines and pyrrolidines) were applied to piperazine substrates.
