Abstract
A regio- and stereoselective stepwise (4+2) annulation of N-propargylamides and α,β-unsaturated imines/ketones has been accomplished with synergetic catalysis by a combination of a gold-complex and a chiral quinine-derived squaramide (QN-SQA), leading to highly functionalized chiral tetrahydropyridines/dihydropyrans in good to high yields with generally excellent enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations indicate that the in situ formed alkylgold species is the key intermediate in this transformation, and the amide group served as a traceless directing group in this highly selective transformation. This method complements the enantioselective (4+2) annulation of allene reagents, providing the formal internal C-C π-bond cycloaddition products, which is challenging and remains elusive.

Abstract
Enantioselective construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has attracted much attention over the past few decades. A variety of catalytic asymmetric methods have been disclosed based on the use of presynthesized complex reagents that impart congested steric hindrance to the reaction center, which generally produce the chiral molecules through forming one C-C bond. The use of readily available reagents that could build two C-C bonds on the same carbonic center with the concomitant assembly of quaternary stereocenters remains challenging. Herein, we disclose a catalytic asymmetric alkyne multifunctionalization reaction using a gold complex and a chiral spiro phosphoric acid (SPA) for synergistic catalysis. In this method, the readily accessible internal alkynes served as the key gold carbene precursors, followed by carbene gem-dialkylation through Mannich-type addition of enolate species or stepwise formal cycloaddition with methylenimines that are derived from 1,3,5-triazinanes in the presence of SPA. The reaction provides practical access to poly-functionalized chiral linear and cyclic ketones that bear two adjacent quaternary stereocenters in generally good yields and excellent enantioselectivities, leading to an essential complement to the asymmetric construction of quaternary stereocenters using readily available materials with high bond formation efficiency.

Abstract
Tumor penetration is a critical determinant of the therapy efficacy of nanomedicines. However, the dense extracellular matrix (ECM) in tumors significantly hampers the deep penetration of nanomedicines, resulting in large drug-untouchable areas and unsatisfactory therapy efficacy. Herein, we synthesized a third-generation PAMAM-cored multiarm copolymer and modified the polymer with collagenase to enhance its tumor penetration. Each arm of the copolymer was a diblock copolymer of poly(glutamic acid)-b-poly(carboxybetaine), in which the polyglutamic acid block with abundant side groups was used to link the anticancer agent doxorubicin through the pH-sensitive acylhydrazone linkage, and the zwitterionic poly(carboxybetaine) block provided desired water solubility and anti-biofouling capability. The collagenase was conjugated to the ends of the arms via the thiol-maleimide reaction. We demonstrated that the polymer-bound collagenase could effectively catalyze the degradation of the collagen in the tumor ECM, and consequently augmented the tumor penetration and antitumor efficacy of the drug-loaded polymers.

Abstract
A robust and practical difluoroalkylation synthon, α,α-difluoroenol species, which generated in situ from trifluoromethyl diazo compounds and water in the presence of dirhodium complex, is disclosed. As compared to the presynthesized difluoroenoxysilane and in situ formed difluoroenolate under basic conditions, this difluoroenol intermediate displayed versatile reactivity, resulting in dramatically improved enantioselectivity under mild conditions. As demonstrated in catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction and Mannich reactions with ketones or imines in the presence of chiral organocatalysts, quinine-derived urea, and chiral phosphoric acid (CPA), respectively, this relay catalysis strategy provides an effective platform for applying asymmetric fluorination chemistry. Moreover, this method features a novel 1,2-difunctionalization process via installation of a carbonyl motif and an alkyl group on two vicinal carbons, which is a complementary protocol to the metal carbene gem-difunctionalization reaction.

Abstract
Gold complexes, because of their unique carbophilic nature, have evolved as efficient catalysts for catalyzing various functionalization reactions of C-C multiple bonds. However, the realization of enantioselective transformations via gold catalysis remains challenging due to the geometrical constraints and coordination behaviors of gold complexes. In this context, merged gold/organocatalysis has emerged as one of the intriguing strategies to achieve enantioselective transformations which could not be possible by using a single catalytic system. Historically, in 2009, this field started with the merging of gold with axially chiral Brønsted acids and chiral amines to achieve enantioselective transformations. Since then, based on the unique reactivity profiles offered by each catalyst, several reports utilizing gold in conjunction with various chiral organocatalysts such as amines, Brønsted acids, N-heterocyclic carbenes, hydrogen-bonding and phosphine catalysts have been documented in the literature. This article demonstrates an up-to-date development in this field, especially focusing on the mechanistic interplay of gold catalysts with chiral organocatalysts.

Abstract
Cyclobutanone is a strained motif with broad applications, while direct assembly of the aromatic ring fused cyclobutanones beyond benzocyclobutenone (BCB) skeletons remains challenging. Herein, we report a Rh-catalyzed formal [3+2] annulation of diazo group tethered alkynes involving a 4-exo-dig carbocyclization process, providing a straightforward access to furan-fused cyclobutanones. DFT calculations disclose that, by comparison to the competitive 5-endo-dig process, 4-exo-dig carbocyclization is mainly due to lower angle strain of the key sp-hybridized vinyl cationic transition state in the cyclization step. Using less reactive catalysts Rh2(carboxylate)4 is critical for high selectivity, which is explained as catalyst-substrate hydrogen bonding interaction. This method is proved successful to direct access previously inaccessible and unknown furan-fused cyclobutanone scaffolds, which can participate in a variety of post-functionalization reactions as versatile synthetic blocks. In addition, preliminary antitumor activity study of these products indicates that some molecules exhibite significant anticancer potency against different human cancer cell lines.

The reaction proceeded well with a broad range of N-propargylamides and acylsilanes, affording the target chiral 5-oxazoylmethyl α-silyl alcohols in up to 95% yield and 99% ee under mild conditions. Importantly, this facile protocol was available for the late-stage modification of several bioactive molecules. Based on the mechanistic study and control experiments, a possible catalytic cycle and transition state are proposed to elucidate the reaction process and enantioinduction.

Abstract
An Ag/Au-catalyzed divergent cascade reaction of alkyne embedded diazoketones with indoles has been described. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction goes through a [4+2]-cycloaddition of an in situ formed isobenzopyrylium intermediate with indole, followed by a sequential retro-Michael addition/carbene N-H insertion process to give the benzo[i]phenanthridines products with gold catalysis; whereas a dearomatization/rearomatization sequence occurs favourably when the reaction is catalyzed by a silver catalyst, delivering benzo[b]carbazoles in generally high to excellent yields. Notably, this is a rare example of using indole as the dienophile for cycloaddition with the isobenzopyrylium species, providing a concise and practical approach for the selective construction of N-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with structural diversity and broad functional-group compatibility.

Abstract
An asymmetric cascade allylation/spiroketalization reaction between 2-(1-hydroxyallyl)phenols and 5-methyleneoxazolines is accomplished by using a chiral Ir(I) catalyst derived from commercially available iridium precursor and the Carreira ligand. This protocol furnishes a class of structurally novel and unique oxazoline-spiroketals in up to 86% yield, >99% ee and >20:1 dr. Moreover, control experiments reveal that 4,4-disubstitution on 5-methyleneoxazolines is necessary to avoid the aromatization and for the spiroketalization to occur. On the basis of this, a plausible reaction mechanism is illustrated.

Abstract
A series of dihydrofuran-3-one and 9,10-phenanthrenequinone hybrid compounds were synthetized through a one-pot gold-catalyzed oxidative cyclization and Aldol-type addition cascade reaction of homopropargylic alcohols with 9,10-phenanthrenequinone. The cytotoxicity of newly synthesized compounds was evaluated in CCK8 assay against different human cancer cells, showing significantly antiproliferative activity against tested tumor cell lines with a lowest IC50 value of 0.92 μM over HCT-116. Further investigation revealed that the treatment of HCT-116 cell line with the promising compound 4c induced cell death as a selective Akt inhibitor. In addition, controlled experiments and molecular docking study suggested that the significant antitumor activity might be attributed to the unique hybrid structure, which implied the promising potential of this dual heterocycle hybrid method in the discovery of novel bioactive molecules with structural diversity.

Abstract
The atom-economic method for the preparation of novel bispirocyclic compounds containing three fused heterocyclic scaffolds privileged in drug discovery was developed by using a chiral amine-squaramide Mannich reaction and Au(I)-catalyzed hydroamination. The developed synthetic strategy performed either stepwise or as a one-pot process allows the formation of chiral bispirocyclic [oxindole-pyrrolidine-pyrazolones] in high yields (up to 75%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99%).

Abstract
Catalytic oxidative functionalization of alkynes has emerged as an effective method in synthetic chemistry in recent decades. However, enantioselective transformations via metal carbene intermediates are quite rare due to the lack of robust chiral catalysts, especially in the intermolecular versions. Herein, we report the first asymmetric three-component reaction of commercially available alkynes with nitrones and alcohols, which affords α-alkoxy-β-amino-ketones in good yields with high to excellent enantioselectivity using combined catalysis by an achiral gold complex and a chiral spiro phosphoric acid (CPA). Mechanistically, this atom-economic reaction involves a catalytic alkyne oxidation/ylide formation/Mannich-type addition sequence that uses nitrone as the oxidant and the leaving fragment imine as the electrophile, providing a novel method for multi-functionalization of commercially available terminal alkynes.

Abstract
A library of gold(I) chloride complexes with phosphine ligands incorporating pendant (thio)urea and squaramide H-bond donors was prepared with the aim of promoting chloride abstraction from Au(I) via H-bonding. In the absence of silver additives, complexes bearing squaramides and trifluoromethylated aromatic ureas displayed good catalytic activity in the cyclization of N-propargyl benzamides, as well as in a 1,6-enyne cycloisomerization, a tandem cyclization-indole addition reaction and the hydrohydrazination of phenylacetylene. Kinetic studies and DFT calculations indicate that the energetic span of the reaction is accounted by both the chloride abstraction step, facilitated by the bidentate H-bond donor via an associative mechanism, and the subsequent cyclization step.

Abstract
A fluorinative Beckmann fragmentation of α-oximinoamides was devised to provide synthetically useful carbamoyl fluorides. High selectivity for fragmentation over a potentially competing Beckmann rearrangement was observed. This protocol has a distinct mechanism and thus a different substrate scope compared with other synthetic methods. α-Oximinoamides derived from the readily available secondary amines, lactams, or isatins were converted into structurally diverse carbamoyl fluorides.

Abstract
The catalytic enantioselective ketimine Mannich and its related reactions provide direct access to chiral building blocks bearing an α-tertiary amine stereogenic center, a ubiquitous structural motif in nature. Although ketimines are often viewed as challenging electrophiles, various approaches/strategies to circumvent or overcome the adverse properties of ketimines have been developed for these transformations. This review showcases the selected examples that highlight the benefits and utilities of various ketimines and remaining challenges associated with them in the context of Mannich, allylation, and aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions as well as their variants.
