Abstract
We herein report the oxidative α-azidation of carbonyl compounds by using NaN3 in the presence of dibenzoyl peroxide catalyzed by tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI). By utilizing these readily available bulk chemicals a variety of cyclic β-ketocarbonyl derivatives can be efficiently α-azidated under operationally simple conditions. Control experiments support a mechanistic scenario involving in situ formation of an ammonium hypoiodite species which first facilitates the α-iodination of the pronucleophile, followed by a phase-transfer-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution by the azide. Furthermore, we also show that an analogous α-nitration by using NaNO2 under otherwise identical conditions is possible as well.

Abstract
Chiral 1,2,3-triazoles are highly attractive motifs in various fields. However, achieving catalytic asymmetric click reactions of azides and alkynes for chiral triazole synthesis remains a significant challenge, mainly due to the limited catalytic systems and substrate scope. Herein, we report an enantioselective azidation/click cascade reaction of N-propargyl-β-ketoamides with a readily available and potent azido transfer reagent via copper catalysis, which affords a variety of chiral 1,2,3-triazoles with up to 99% yield and 95% ee under mild conditions. Notably, chiral 1,5-disubstituted triazoles that have not been accessed by previous asymmetric click reactions are also prepared with good functional group tolerance.

Abstract
Discovered in the 19th century, ethyl acetoacetate has been central to the development of organic chemistry, including its pedagogy and applications. In this study, we present borylated derivatives of this venerable molecule. A boron handle has been installed at either α ${{\rm \alpha }}$ - or β ${\beta }$ -position of acetoacetate by homologation of acyl-MIDA (N-methyliminodiacetic acid) boronates with diazoacetates. Either alkyl or boryl groups were found to migrate with regiochemistry being a function of the steric bulk of the diazo species. Boryl β ${{\rm \beta }}$ -ketoesters can be further modified into borylated pyrazolones and oximes, thereby expanding the synthetic toolkit and offering opportunities for additional modifications.

Abstract
AbstractDibenzoylperoxide emerged as a versatile oxidant for quaternary ammonium iodide or bromide‐catalyzed reactions of phenol derivatives with NaN3. While the use of iodides allowed for efficient benzylic azidations under these oxidative conditions, the use of bromides allowed for dearomative azidations instead. Both approaches have been successfully applied to different phenol derivatives and a first proof‐of‐concept for an enantioselective variant using chiral quat. ammonium bromides has been obtained as well.

Abstract
Triazoles have major roles in chemistry, medicine, and materials science, as centrally important heterocyclic motifs and bioisosteric replacements for amides, carboxylic acids, and other carbonyl groups, as well as some of the most widely used linkers in click chemistry. Yet, the chemical space and molecular diversity of triazoles remains limited by the accessibility of synthetically challenging organoazides, thereby requiring preinstallation of the azide precursors and restricting triazole applications. We report herein a photocatalytic, tricomponent decarboxylative triazolation reaction that for the first time enables direct conversion of carboxylic acids to triazoles in a single-step, triple catalytic coupling with alkynes and a simple azide reagent. Data-guided inquiry of the accessible chemical space of decarboxylative triazolation indicates that the transformation can improve access to the structural diversity and molecular complexity of triazoles. Experimental studies demonstrate a broad scope of the synthetic method that includes a variety of carboxylic acid, polymer, and peptide substrates. When performed in the absence of alkynes, the reaction can also be used to access organoazides, thereby obviating preactivation and specialized azide reagents and providing a two-pronged approach to C-N bond-forming decarboxylative functional group interconversions.

Abstract
A manganese-catalyzed highly site- and enantioselective benzylic C-H azidation of indolines has been described. The practical method is applicable for azidation of a tertiary benzylic C-H bond with good functional group tolerance, allowing facile access to structurally diverse tertiary azide-containing indolines in high efficiency with excellent site-, chemo-, and enantioselectivity. The generality of the method was further demonstrated by site- and enantioselective azidation of the secondary benzylic C-H bond for a range of secondary azide-containing indolines. The benzylic C-H azidation method allows to straightforwardly and enantioselectively install a variety of nitrogen-based functional groups and diverse bioactive molecules at the C3 position of indoline frameworks through post-azidation manipulations. Gram-scale synthesis was also demonstrated, further highlighting the synthetic potential of the method. Mechanistic studies by combined experiments and computations elucidated the reaction mechanism and origins of stereoselectivity.

toward enantioselective dearomative aza-spirocyclization to give the
corresponding spiroindolenines using chiral quaternary ammonium hypoiodite

the introduction of pyrazole as an electron-withdrawing auxiliary

Abstract
Phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) is one of the most powerful catalytic manifolds for asymmetric synthesis. Chiral cationic or anionic PTC strategies have enabled a variety of transformations, yet studies on the use of insoluble inorganic salts as nucleophiles for the synthesis of enantioenriched molecules have remained elusive. A long-standing challenge is the development of methods for asymmetric carbon-fluorine bond formation from readily available and cost-effective alkali metal fluorides. In this Perspective, we describe how H-bond donors can provide a solution through fluoride binding. We use examples, primarily from our own research, to discuss how hydrogen bonding interactions impact fluoride reactivity and the role of H-bond donors as phase-transfer catalysts to bring solid-phase alkali metal fluorides in solution. These studies led to hydrogen bonding phase-transfer catalysis (HB-PTC), a new concept in PTC, originally crafted for alkali metal fluorides but offering opportunities beyond enantioselective fluorination. Looking ahead, the unlimited options that one can consider to diversify the H-bond donor, the inorganic salt, and the electrophile, herald a new era in phase-transfer catalysis. Whether abundant inorganic salts of lattice energy significantly higher than those studied to date could be considered as nucleophiles, e.g., CaF2, remains an open question, with solutions that may be found through synergistic PTC catalysis or beyond PTC.

Abstract

Asymmetric catalytic
azidation has increased in importance to access
enantioenriched nitrogen containing molecules, but methods that employ
inexpensive sodium azide remain scarce. This encouraged us to undertake
a detailed study on the application of hydrogen bonding phase-transfer
catalysis (HB-PTC) to enantioselective azidation with sodium azide.
So far, this phase-transfer manifold has been applied exclusively
to insoluble metal alkali fluorides for carbon–fluorine bond
formation. Herein, we disclose the asymmetric ring opening of meso aziridinium electrophiles derived from β-chloroamines
with sodium azide in the presence of a chiral bisurea catalyst. The
structure of novel hydrogen bonded azide complexes was analyzed computationally,
in the solid state by X-ray diffraction, and in solution phase by 1H and 14N/15N NMR spectroscopy. With N-isopropylated BINAM-derived bisurea, end-on binding of
azide in a tripodal fashion to all three NH bonds is energetically
favorable, an arrangement reminiscent of the corresponding dynamically
more rigid trifurcated hydrogen-bonded fluoride complex. Computational
analysis informs that the most stable transition state leading to
the major enantiomer displays attack from the hydrogen-bonded end
of the azide anion. All three H-bonds are retained in the transition
state; however, as seen in asymmetric HB-PTC fluorination, the H-bond
between the nucleophile and the monodentate urea lengthens most noticeably
along the reaction coordinate. Kinetic studies corroborate with the
turnover rate limiting event resulting in a chiral ion pair containing
an aziridinium cation and a catalyst-bound azide anion, along with
catalyst inhibition incurred by accumulation of NaCl. This study demonstrates
that HB-PTC can serve as an activation mode for inorganic salts other
than metal alkali fluorides for applications in asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract
Novel cinchona alkaloid derived iodide catalysts were developed for the enantioselective oxidative α-amination of 2-oxindoles, providing various functionalized spiropyrrolidine oxindoles in high yields and with good enantioselectivities. This iodide/ROOH catalytic system features a one-step synthesis of a catalyst with multiple functionalities, ease of operation, and good scalability, thereby enriching the repertoire of iodide catalysis for enantioselective oxidative coupling reactions.

Abstract
Disclosed here is a catalytic asymmetric azidation reaction for the efficient synthesis of α-azido ketones bearing a labile tertiary stereocenter. With a superb chiral squaramide catalyst, a mild asymmetric formal H–N3 insertion of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides proceeded with excellent efficiency and enantioselectivity. This organocatalytic process not only complements the previous α-azidation approaches for the formation of quaternary stereocenters and mostly for 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, but also has advantages over the well-known metal-catalyzed asymmetric carbene insertion chemistry using α-diazocarbonyl compounds. Detailed mechanistic studies via control reactions and NMR studies provided important insights into the reaction pathway, which features reversible protonation and dynamic kinetic resolution. The curiosity in mechanism also led to the development of a simplified alternative protocol with a cheaper HN3 source. An organocatalytic asymmetric H–N3 insertion of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides has been developed, providing efficient access to α-azido ketones bearing labile tertiary stereocenters and complementing the metal carbene insertion chemistry.![]()
