Abstract
A packed reactor bed incorporating a polymer-supported isothiourea HyperBTM catalyst derivative has been used to promote the enantioselective synthesis of a range of heterocyclic products derived from α-azol-2-ylacetophenones and -acetamides combined with alkyl, aryl, and heterocyclic α,β-unsaturated homoanhydrides in continuous flow via an α,β-unsaturated acyl-ammonium intermediate. The products are generated in good to excellent yields and generally in excellent enantiopurity (up to 97:3 er). Scale-up is demonstrated on a 15 mmol scale, giving the heterocyclic product in 68% overall yield with 98:2 er after recrystallization.

Abstract
We herein report a two-step approach for the enantioselective synthesis of novel chiral δ-lactams. By using a cooperative chiral ITU/achiral Pd-catalyst system, this protocol proceeds via an asymmetric α-allylation of activated aryl esters first, followed by an acid-mediated lactam formation. A variety of differently substituted products could be obtained with usually high levels of enantioselectivities and in reasonable yields (16 examples, up to 98 : 2 er and 73 % yield over two steps). In addition, further utilizations of the products via transformations of the exocyclic double bond were successfully carried out as well.

Abstract
NHC-catalyzed diastereoselective and enantioselective [12 + 2] higher-order cycloadditions of 5H-benzo[a]-pyrrolizine-3-carbaldehydes with cyclic sulfonic imines are described. Various optically pure polycyclic piperazin-2-ones were successfully constructed under mild reaction conditions with excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. The generated chiral polycyclic piperazin-2-ones could be transformed to planar-chiral nine-membered cyclic amides via squaramide-catalyzed asymmetric ring-expansion reactions.

Abstract
Novel asymmetric aminocatalytic cycloadditions are described between formyl cycloheptatrienes and 6,6-dimethylfulvene that lead to [4 + 2], [6 + 2], and [4 + 6] cycloadducts. The unprecedented reaction course is dependent on the position of the formyl functionality in the cycloheptatriene core, and each formyl cycloheptatriene isomer displays a distinct reactivity pattern. The formyl cycloheptatriene isomers are activated by a chiral primary diamine catalyst, and the activation mode is dependent on the position of the formyl functionality relative to the cycloheptatriene core. The [4 + 2] and [6 + 2] cycloadducts are formed via rare iminocatalytic inverse electron-demand cycloadditions, while the [4 + 6] cycloadduct is formed by a normal electron-demand cycloaddition. The reactivity displayed by the different formyl cycloheptatrienes was investigated by DFT calculations. These computational studies account for the different reaction paths for the three isomeric formyl cycloheptatrienes. The aminocatalytic [4 + 2], [6 + 2], and [4 + 6] cycloadditions proceed by stepwise processes, and the interplay between conjugation, substrate distortion, and dispersive interactions between the fulvene and aminocatalyst mainly defines the outcome of each cycloaddition.

Abstract
The enantioselective α-functionalisation of glycine Schiff base aryl esters through isothiourea catalysis is successfully demonstrated for 1,6-additions to para-quinone methides (21 examples, up to 95:5 dr and 96:4 er) and 1,4-additions to methylene substituted dicarbonyl or disulfonyl Michael acceptors (17 examples, up to 98:2 er). This nucleophilic organocatalysis approach gives access to a range of α-functionalised α-amino acid derivatives and further transformations of the activated aryl ester group provide a straightforward entry to advanced amino acid-based esters, amides or thioesters.

Abstract
A protocol for the chemically divergent synthesis of β-lactams and α-amino acid derivatives with isothiourea (ITU) catalysis by switching solvents was developed. The stereospecific Mannich reaction occurring between imine and C(1)-ammonium enolate generated zwitterionic intermediates, which underwent intramolecular lactamization and afforded β-lactam derivatives when DCM and CH3CN were used as solvents. However, when EtOH was used as the solvent, the intermediates underwent an intermolecular esterification reaction, and α-amino acid derivatives were produced. Detailed mechanistic experiments were conducted to prove that these two kinds of products came from the same intermediates. Furthermore, chemically diversified transformations of β-lactam and α-amino acid derivatives were achieved. A protocol for the solvent directed chemically divergent synthesis of β-lactam and α-amino acid derivatives with chiral isothiourea was reported.![]()

Abstract
The chiral dirhodium(ii) tetracarboxylate-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular Büchner reaction of donor/donor-carbenes was reported and a series of valuable chiral polycyclic products were synthesized. Both aryloxy enynones and diazo compounds were efficient carbene precursors for this reaction. Excellent yields (up to 99%) and outstanding enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) were achieved under standard conditions. For furyl substituted chiral cyclohepta[b]benzofurans bearing a substituent at the C4 position on cycloheptatrienes, control reactions showed that the chiral Büchner products could slowly racemize either under dark or natural light conditions. A diradical-involved mechanism rather than a zwitterionic intermediate was proposed to explain the racemization. Furthermore, furyl substituted chiral fluorene derivatives were obtained via asymmetric aromatic substitution when biaryl enynones were employed as carbene precursors. The chiral dirhodium(ii) tetracarboxylate-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular Büchner reaction and aromatic substitution of donor/donor-carbenes were reported and a series of valuable chiral polycyclic products were synthesized.![]()

We present an unprecedented atroposelective [8+2] cycloaddition reaction between pyridinium/isoquinolinium ylides and ynals. It is worth noting that this protocol represents a new example of the organocatalyzed atropoenantioselective higher-order cycloaddition reaction, providing various axial chiral 3-arylindolizines in good yields and high enantioselectivities. In addition, the obtained axially chiral 3-aryldolizines also provide many opportunities for structural transformations and potential drug discovery.

Abstract
N-Benzyl-2-chloro-N,3-diaryloxirane-2-carboxamides, easily obtained from aromatic aldehydes and anilides of dichloroacetic acid under Darzens condensation conditions, proved to be excellent starting compounds for the synthesis of 3-hydroxyindolin-2-ones, cyclohepto[b]pyrrole-2,3-diones, and 1-azaspiro[4.5]deca-3,6,9-triene-2-ones via the C(sp2)-C(sp2) bond formation in the first case and C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond formation in the second and third cases. Under optimized reaction conditions, 3-hydroxyindolin-2-ones are obtained in a one-pot process, which involves the treatment of N-benzyl-2-chloro-N,3-diaryloxirane-2-carboxamides with CF3CO2H or AcOH/H2SO4. In the case of intramolecular cyclization, the detailed reaction channels depend strongly on the substituents present in the anilide component and in the aromatic ring of the aldehyde component of N-benzyl-2-chloro-N,3-diaryloxirane-2-carboxamides, as well as the temperature and duration of the reaction. A combined experimental and DFT mechanistic study of the formation of 1-benzyl-3-hydroxy-4-arylquinolin-2(1H)-ones showed that there are three competing reaction channels: (a) ring-closure via the ipso site, (b) ring-closure via the 1,2-Cl shift, and (c) ring-closure via the ortho site. Such mechanistic insights enabled an effective one-pot gram-scale synthesis of viridicatin from benzaldehyde and 2,2-dichloro-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-N-phenylacetamide.

Abstract
The first enantioselective [12 + 2] cycloaddition has been developed for the construction of a chiral cycl[3.2.2]azine core, a tricyclic moiety with a central ring-junction nitrogen atom, by an operationally simple one-step organocatalytic process. The reaction concept builds upon aminocatalytically generated 12π-components derived from 5H-benzo[a]pyrrolizine-3-carbaldehydes reacting with different electron-deficient 2π-components and affording the complex scaffold of benzo[a]cycl[3.2.2]azine (indolizino[3,4,5-ab]isoindole) with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity in good yields. The developed reaction is robust toward diverse substituent patterns and has been extended to different classes of electron-deficient 2π-components by minor variations in reaction setup. The obtained [12 + 2] cycloadducts are electron-deficient in nature, and their reaction with nucleophiles have been demonstrated. The enantioselective [12 + 2] cycloaddition with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as the electron-deficient 2π-components relies upon an unconventional, simple aminocatalyst. In order to understand the high stereoselectivity of the [12 + 2] cycloaddition for this simple catalyst, combined experimental and computational investigations were performed. The investigations point to activation of both the 5H-benzo[a]pyrrolizine-3-carbaldehyde and the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde by the aminocatalyst and that the reaction proceeds by a stepwise cycloaddition, where especially the ring-closure is crucial for the stereochemical outcome. For other electron-deficient 2π-components, such as α,β-unsaturated ketoesters and nitroolefins, a more sterically demanding aminocatalyst has been applied and the corresponding [12 + 2] cycloadducts are obtained with excellent stereoselectivity. The [12 + 2] cycloaddition with vinyl sulfones afforded fully unsaturated systems, which display photoluminescence properties and for which quantum yields have been evaluated.

Abstract
The sequential acylative kinetic resolution (KR) of C2-symmetric (±)-1,2-syn and (±)-1,3-anti-diols using a packed bed microreactor loaded with the polystyrene-supported isothiourea, HyperBTM, is demonstrated in flow. The sequential KRs of C2-symmetric (±)-1,2-syn and (±)-1,3-anti-diols exploits Horeau amplification, with each composed of two successive KR processes, with each substrate class significantly differing in the relative rate constants for each KR process. Optimisation of the continuous flow set-up for both C2-symmetric (±)-1,2-syn and (±)-1,3-anti-diol substrate classes allowed isolation of reaction products in both high enantiopurity and yield. In addition to the successful KR of C2-symmetric (±)-1,2-syn and (±)-1,3-anti-diols, the application of this process to the more conceptually-complex scenario involving the sequential KR of C1-symmetric (±)-1,3-anti-diols was demonstrated, which involves eight independent rate constants.

Abstract
Gold(I)-catalyzed higher-order [8+2] cycloadditions of 8-aryl-8-azaheptafulvenes 1 with allenamides 2 and ynamides 3 were studied. 1,8-Dihydrocycloheptapyrroles 4 were achieved by a regioselective [8+2] cycloaddition of azaheptafulvenes 1 and allenamides 2 in the presence of (2,4-ditBuC6 H3 O)3 PAuNTf2 as catalyst. Besides, ynamides 3 and 8-aryl-8-azaheptafulvenes 1, undergo a regioselective [8+2] cycloaddition, to give 2-amido-1,4-dihydrocycloheptapyrroles 7 in the presence of JohnPhosAuNTf2 as catalyst. Both reactions take place with good yields and with a variety of substituents. A plausible mechanism hypothesis suggests a nucleophilic attack of the 8-azaheptafulvene to the gold activated electron rich allene or alkyne moieties of the allenamide and ynamide, respectively.

Abstract
With Ph3P+CF2COO- or TMSCF2Br as the difluorocarbene sources, a facile metal-free cycloaddition between heteroconjugated alkenes and difluorocarbene was developed for the highly convergent synthesis of novel difluorinated heterocyclics, including gem-difluorinated azetidines and 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans. The cycloaddition features high reactivity and regioselectivity, as well as good tolerance of various electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents on azaheptafulvenes and o-quinone methides.

Abstract
C(1)-Ammonium enolates are powerful, catalytically generated synthetic intermediates applied in the enantioselective α-functionalisation of carboxylic acid derivatives. This minireview describes the recent developments in the generation and application of C(1)-ammonium enolates from various precursors (carboxylic acids, anhydrides, acyl imidazoles, aryl esters, α-diazoketones, alkyl halides) using isothiourea Lewis base organocatalysts. Their synthetic utility in intra- and intermolecular enantioselective C-C and C-X bond forming processes on reaction with various electrophiles will be showcased utilising two distinct catalyst turnover approaches.

Abstract
The cinchona-alkaloid-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions of 2-cyclohexenone with tropone and various heptafulvenes give [8+2] or [4+2] cycloadducts, depending on the substituents present on the heptafulvene. We report the results of new experiments with heptafulvenes, containing diester and barbiturate substituents, which in combination with computational studies were performed to elucidate the factors controlling [8+2] vs [4+2] cycloaddition pathways, including chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities of these higher-order cycloadditions. The protonated cinchona alkaloid primary amine catalyst reacts with 2-cyclohexenone to form a linear dienamine intermediate that subsequently undergoes a stepwise [8+2] or [4+2] cycloaddition. Both tropone and the different heptafulvenes initially form [8+2] cycloadducts. The final product is ultimately decided by the reversibility of the [8+2] cycloaddition and the relative thermal stability of the [4+2] products. The stereoisomeric transition states are distinguished by the steric interactions between the protonated catalyst and tropone/heptafulvenes. The [8+2] cycloaddition of barbiturate-heptafulvene afforded products with an unprecedented trans-fusion of the five- and six-membered rings, while the [8+2] cycloadducts obtained from cyanoester-heptafulvene and diester-heptafulvene were formed with a cis-relationship. The mechanism, thermodynamics, and origins of stereoselectivity were explained through DFT calculations using the ωB97X-D density functional.

Abstract
Higher-order cycloadditions are a powerful strategy for the construction of polycycles in one step. However, an efficient and concise version for the induction of asymmetry is lacking. N-heterocyclic carbenes are widely used organocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis and could be an ideal choice for enantioselective higher-order cycloadditions. Here, we report an enantioselective [10 + 2] annulation between catalytically formed aza-benzofulvene intermediates and trifluoromethyl ketone derivatives. This protocol exhibits a wide scope, high yields, and good ee values, reflecting a robust and efficient higher-order cycloaddition. Density functional theory calculations provide an accurate prediction of the reaction enantioselectivity, and in-depth insight to the origins of stereocontrol.

Abstract
An isothiourea-catalysed enantioselective synthesis of novel tetrahydroindolizine derivatives is reported through a one-pot tandem sequential process. The application of 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)acetic acid in combination with either a trifluoromethyl enone or an α-keto-β,γ-unsaturated ester in an enantioselective Michael addition–lactonisation process, followed by in situ ring-opening and cyclisation, led to a range of 24 tetrahydroindolizine derivatives containing three stereocentres in up to >95 : 5 dr and >99 : 1 er. The isothiourea-catalysed enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydroindolizine derivatives containing three stereocentres is reported through a one-pot tandem sequential process.![]()

Abstract
The concept of pericyclic reactions and the explanation of their specificity through orbital symmetries introduced a new way of understanding reactions and looking for new ones. One of the 1965 Woodward-Hoffmann communications described "the (as yet unobserved) symmetry-allowed 6 + 4 combination", the prediction of a new field of "higher-order" cycloadditions, involving more than six electrons. Later these authors predicted exo-stereoselectivity for the [6 + 4]-cycloaddition. Chemists rushed to test this prediction (for the most part successfully). For more than half a century, chemists have hunted for additional higher-order cycloadditions. The application of catalysis within organic chemistry allows the accomplishment of previously unattainable reactions, including higher-order cycloadditions. The many examples of [8 + 2], [6 + 4], and cycloadditions of even higher electron-counts discovered since the Woodward-Hoffmann rules were introduced illustrate the difficulty in predicting which of these transformations will occur when two highly unsaturated molecules react. Periselectivity has been a challenge, and the development of enantioselective variants has been elusive. While progress was made, the rise of organocatalysis in asymmetric synthesis has led to a surge of interest in stereoselective versions of higher-order cycloadditions. Through organocatalytic activation of conjugated cyclic polyenes and heteroaromatic compounds, asymmetric [8 + 2]-, [6 + 4]-, and [10 + 4]-cycloadditions have been realized by our groups. In this century, [6 + 4]-cycloadditions have been found also to occur in enzyme-catalyzed reactions for the biosynthesis of spinosyn A, heronamide, and streptoseomycin natural products. A whole new class of enzymes, the pericyclases that catalyze pericyclic reactions, has been discovered. A remarkable aspect of these recent developments is the cross-disciplinary research involved: from organic synthesis to computational studies integrated with experimental studies of reaction mechanisms, intermediates, and dynamics, to understanding mechanisms of enzyme catalysis and engineering of enzymes. This Account describes how our groups have been involved in the expansion of the higher-order cycloaddition frontiers. We describe both the history and recent progress in higher-order cycloadditions, and how these advances have been made by our collaborative experimental and computational studies. Progress in asymmetric organocatalysis, incorporating enantioselective higher-order cycloadditions in organic synthesis, and the stereoselective synthesis of important scaffolds will be highlighted. Experimental progress and computational modeling with density functional theory (DFT) has identified ambimodal cycloaddition pathways and led to the realization that multiple products of pericyclic reactions are linked by common transition states. Molecular dynamic simulations have provided fundamental understanding of factors controlling periselectivity and have led to discoveries of a group of enzymes, the pericyclases, which catalyze pericyclic reactions such as [6 + 4]-cycloadditions.

Abstract
An isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of aryl ester pronucleophiles to vinyl bis-sulfones via C(1)-ammonium enolate intermediates has been developed. This operationally simple method allows the base-free functionalization of aryl esters to form α-functionalized products containing two contiguous tertiary stereogenic centres in excellent yield and stereoselectivity (all ≥99:1 er). Key to the success of this methodology is the multifunctional role of the aryloxide, which operates as a leaving group, Brønsted base, Brønsted acid and Lewis base within the catalytic cycle. Comprehensive mechanistic studies, including variable time normalization analysis (VTNA) and isotopologue competition experiments, have been carried out. These studies have identified (i) orders of all reactants; (ii) a turnover-limiting Michael addition step, (iii) product inhibition, (iv) the catalyst resting state and (v) catalyst deactivation through protonation.

Abstract
A highly efficient catalytic enantioselective [4+2] cycloaddition was developed between 2-benzothiazolimines and enecarbamates. A wide range of benzothiazolopyrimidines bearing three contiguous stereogenic centers was obtained in high to excellent yields and with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (d.r. > 98 : 2 and up to >99% ee). Furthermore, this chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed strategy was scalable and enabled access to a new class of optically pure Lewis base isothiourea derivatives.
