Abstract
The trivalent phosphine-catalyzed [4+1] spiro-annulation reaction of allenyl imide and activated methylene cyclocompounds has been developed for the construction of various spiro-2-cyclopenten-1-ones. Oxindoles, 3-isochromanones, and 2-indanones are selected as 1C synthons to capture the in situ-generated bis-electrophilic α,β-unsaturated ketenyl phosphonium intermediate, affording the corresponding monospiro- and bispiro-cyclopentenones in good to excellent yields (≤91%) under mild conditions. The primary attempt at asymmetric catalysis using monophosphine (R)-SITCP provides promising enantioselectivity (45% ee). A plausible reaction mechanism is also proposed.

Abstract
The first (5+1) annulation of allenoates and pyrazolones catalyzed by CH3OK has been reported. A series of spiro-pyrazolone derivatives were obtained as single diastereomers in high yields (≤95%) under mild conditions. The synthetic utility was demonstrated by a scale-up reaction and various transformations of the products. The proposed mechanism suggests that the allenoate works as a 1,5-biselectrophilic 5C synthon for the first time and controlled experiments disclose that K+ plays an important role in the diastereoselectivity-determining step through an eight-membered ring transition state. Also, this 1,5-biselectrophilic allenoate will be able to act as a 5C synthon for (5+n) annulation.

Abstract
Numerous eight-membered heterocycles are of significance in biological chemistry, the pharmaceutical industry, agrochemistry, and materials science. However, the assembly of eight-membered heterocycles is usually challenging due to the unfavorable enthalpic and entropic barriers of the transition states during the ring formation. Tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of synthetic routes to eight-membered heterocycles. Despite these developments, the exploration of more strategies for the facile and effective assembly of eight-membered heterocyclic molecules in a single vessel under mild conditions is still highly desirable. The conjugated heterodiene-participating [4 + 4] annulation serves as a convenient and robust strategy for the synthesis of eight-membered heterocycles from easily accessible starting materials. In recent years, great progress has been achieved in this attractive field. In this short review, we highlighted the recent advances in the synthesis of eight-membered heterocycles via cascade reactions based on [4 + 4] annulation of conjugated heterodienes with 1,4-dipolar species. The brief backgrounds, the general reactions, the proposed mechanisms and their features are summarized. The prospects and challenges of this field are also outlined at the end of this review. In addition, to highlight the importance and practicality of these reactions, the properties of several series of eight-membered heterocycles have also been introduced briefly.

Abstract
An unprecedented phosphine-catalyzed formal Buchner [6+1] annulation of a newly designed allenoate has been developed, providing a series of cycloheptatriene derivatives in moderate to good yields (up to 99%). This reaction demonstrates that the introduction of an electrophilic allylic group to allenoates effectively extends the reaction scope of phosphine-catalyzed annulation, providing a concise route to cycloheptatrienes. Mechanistic study indicated that this reaction involves a [4+2] Diels-Alder reaction and ring expansion of the bicyclo[4.1.0] moiety, which is similar to the Buchner reaction. Notably, an enantioselective variant of this [6+1] annulation can also be performed using a chiral iminophosphine catalyst.

Abstract
A new phosphine-catalyzed reaction of α-substituted allenes with aryl imines, in stark contrast to classic cycloaddition reactions, has been developed. This reaction delivers valuable highly functionalized itaconimides with excellent stereoselectivities by a new «un-cyclizing» reaction mode involving β'-carbon of α-substituted allenes. Moreover, the present «un-cyclizing» reaction can also be carried out in a one-pot fashion and scaled up to the gram scale by using aryl aldehydes, without the need to isolate the aryl imines. Mechanistic studies and control experiments reveal the crucial role of H2 CO3 for the present reaction mode. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to understand the possible mechanism.

Abstract
A series of γ-substituted Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates were synthesized and subjected to phosphine-catalyzed annulations with electrophilic exocyclic alkenes, giving various valuable spirocyclopentenes in moderate to excellent yields with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities. A large scope of MBH carbonates bearing γ-hydrogen, alkenyl, and alkynyl substituents was well tolerated. The annulation unprecedentedly involves β-, γ-, and δ-carbons of MBH carbonates.

Abstract
We herein report a phosphine-catalyzed (3 + 2) annulation of cyclopropenones with a wide variety of electrophilic π systems, including aldehydes, ketoesters, imines, isocyanates, and carbodiimides, offering products of butenolides, butyrolactams, maleimides, and iminomaleimides, respectively, in high yields with broad substrate scope. An α-ketenyl phosphorous ylide is validated as the key intermediate, which undergoes preferential catalytic cyclization with aldehydes rather than stoichiometric Wittig olefinations. This phosphine-catalyzed activation of cyclopropenones thus supplies a versatile C3 synthon for formal cycloadditon reactions.

Abstract
An efficient and practical phosphine-catalyzed homo-coupling reaction of benzyl chlorides is described. The reactions proceed smoothly in the presence of CsF/B(OMe)3 and NaH as the base, respectively, to provide trans-stilbenes in good yields with a broad scope. Unsymmetrical stilbenes are also generated from the reactions of benzyl chlorides with phosphonium salts. Several P-based key intermediates have been detected by NMR and HRMS analyses, which shed light on the postulated catalytic cycle. In the presence of different bases, the transformations involve two different pathways, in which phenylcarbene and phosphonium alkoxide are considered as key intermediates, respectively. The two pathways are complementary in synthesis but different in mechanisms. The synthetic utility, including gram-scale reactions and straightforward access to π-conjugated molecules, has been demonstrated as well.

Abstract
A domino [2+4]/[2+3] sequential annulation reaction of MBH carbonates with N-unprotected indoles has been developed to provide various pyrroloquinoline derivatives in ≤94% yield and 20:1 dr. The reaction could be either mediated by stoichiometric PCy3 or catalyzed by R3PO via PIII/PV═O redox cycling in the presence of phenylsilane. This method assembles polycyclic 1,7-fused indoles in one step diastereoselectively.

Abstract
The same δ-acetoxy allenoates and thioamides, under DABCO, pyridine, or tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) catalysis, undergo distinctly different annulations giving chemoselective routes to dihydrothiophene, thiopyran, or thiazole motifs. Thus, using pyridine in [3 + 2] annulation, dihydrothiophenes are obtained as essentially single diastereomers. By contrast, under DABCO catalysis, allenoates deliver thiopyran motifs in good to high yields through 6-exo-dig cyclization. In the thiazole forming [3 + 2] annulation, tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) facilitates addition-elimination and 5-exo-trig cyclization in which β- and γ-carbons of allenoates participate to deliver thiazole cores exclusively with a Z-isomeric exocyclic double bond. A possible rationale for these observations is delved into.

Abstract
Lewis base catalysis provides powerful synthetic strategies for the selective construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Thus continuous efforts have been deployed to develop effective methodologies involving Lewis base catalysis. The nucleophilicity and steric hindrance of Lewis base catalyst often plays a major role in catalytic reactivity and selectivity in the reaction. In the past decades, tremendous progress has been made in the divergent construction of valuable motifs under Lewis base catalysis. In this review, we provide a comprehensive and updated summary of Lewis base-catalysed chemo-, diastereo- and enantiodivergent reaction, as well as the related mechanism will be highlighted in detail.

Abstract
Herein we describe a phosphine-catalyzed internal redox [4 + 2] annulation of 1,4-enynoates with electron-deficient alkenes, in which the γ- and φ-C(sp3)-H of the enynoates are formally oxidized for the annulation while the alkynyl moiety is converted to an alkene. The reaction offers an efficient synthesis of highly functionalized cyclohexenes in moderate to good yields with exclusive regioselectivity and high diastereoselectivity under mild conditions.

Abstract
With the aim of developing novel annulations via ketene intermediates, allenyl imide and alkynoates bearing good leaving groups are used for their function in a tandem conjugate addition-elimination reaction (SN2' type) promoted by nucleophilic phosphine catalysts. By utilizing thioamides as 1S,3N-bis-nucleophiles, [3+3] and [3+2] annulations have been established to allow rapid access to 1,3-thiazin-4-ones and 5-alkenyl thiazolones in high yields, respectively. Furthermore, the possible reaction mechanisms are proposed on the basis of deuterium labeling experiments and density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
We disclose an l-isoleucine-derived amide phosphine-catalyzed trimerization of γ-aryl-3-butynoates, which undergo an isomerization to allenoate, [3 + 2] cyclization, and Michael addition cascade. Exocyclopentene derivatives bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter were constructed stereospecifically and enantioselectively. A wide variety of γ-aryl-3-butynoates could be employed to deliver optically pure cyclopentene derivatives in moderate to good yields with ee values of ≥95% and in most cases ≥98%.

Abstract
Phosphorus-based organocatalysis encompasses several subfields that have undergone rapid growth in recent years. This Outlook gives an overview of its various aspects. In particular, we highlight key advances in three topics: nucleophilic phosphine catalysis, organophosphorus catalysis to bypass phosphine oxide waste, and organophosphorus compound-mediated single electron transfer processes. We briefly summarize five additional topics: chiral phosphoric acid catalysis, phosphine oxide Lewis base catalysis, iminophosphorane super base catalysis, phosphonium salt phase transfer catalysis, and frustrated Lewis pair catalysis. Although it is not catalytic in nature, we also discuss novel discoveries that are emerging in phosphorus(V) ligand coupling. We conclude with some ideas about the future of organophosphorus catalysis.

Abstract
CsOH·H2O-catalyzed formal [3 + 3] cycloadditions of allenyl imide with β-ketoesters, 1,3-diketones or β-ketonitriles for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted 2-pyrone derivatives have been demonstrated. The allenyl imide was utilized as a C3-synthon, and a ketenyl intermediate was proposed via the process of 1,4-addition of carbon anion to allene followed by elimination of the 2-oxazolidinyl group. CsOH·H2O-catalyzed formal [3 + 3] cycloadditions of allenyl imide with β-ketoesters, 1,3-diketones or β-ketonitriles for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted 2-pyrone derivatives were reported.![]()

Abstract
We have developed a phosphine-catalyzed (4+1) annulative rearrangement for the preparation of 3-pyrrolines from allenylic carbamates via phosphonium diene intermediates. We employed this methodology to synthesize an array of 1,3-disubstituted- and 1,2,3-trisubstituted-3-pyrrolines, including the often difficult to prepare 2-alkyl variants. A mechanistic investigation employing allenylic acetates and mononucleophiles unexpectedly unveiled that a phosphine-catalyzed (4+1) reaction for the construction of cyclopentene products, previously reported by Tong, might not occur through a phosphonium diene, as had been proposed, but rather through multiple mechanisms working in concert. Consequently, our phosphine-catalyzed rearrangement is most likely the first transformation to involve the unequivocal formation of a phosphonium diene intermediate along the reaction pathway. To demonstrate the synthetic utility of this newly developed reaction, we have completed concise formal syntheses of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids (±)-trachelanthamidine and (±)-supinidine.

Abstract
A [4+1]/[3+3] domino sequential annulation reaction of o-aminotrifluoroacetophenone derivatives and β'-acetoxy allenoates enabled by DMAP has been reported. A variety of CF3-containing tetrahydropyrano[3,2-b]indoles were obtained as a single diastereomer in high yields (≤98%) under mild conditions. The reaction can build one C-N bond, one C-C bond, and one C-O bond sequentially in a single step. The synthetic utility was demonstrated with gram-scale reactions and various transformations of the products.
