Abstract
A Brønsted acid-catalyzed cascade process, involving in situ formation of acyclic tertiary enamides and intramolecular Michael reaction, is developed for the synthesis of functionalized cyclic tertiary enamides. Based on the dual reactivities of the enamide moiety, several reaction sequences were realized by using rationally designed substrates, leading to biologically relevant nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with diverse structural skeletons in a concise and diastereocontrolled manner.

Abstract
The first base-mediated [4 + 2] annulation of δ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones with azlactones has been developed, through which 3,4-disubstituted 3-amino-δ-lactones were obtained in good yields and with excellent diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of C,N-cyclic azomethine imines with γ-NHTs-α,β-unsaturated ketones were developed to synthesize tricyclic dinitrogen-fused heterocycles. Highly functionalized tricyclic tetrahydroisoquinolines were readily obtained in good to high yields in the [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction of N-Bz-protected C,N-cyclic azomethine imines with γ-NHTs-α,β-unsaturated ketones under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, DABCO-catalyzed cycloaddition of N-Ts-protected C,N-cyclic azomethine imines with γ-NHTs-α,β-unsaturated ketones followed by cleavage of the tosyl group is a convenient route to synthesize tetrahydropyrazolo [5,1-a]isoquinolines in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
The first organocatalytic asymmetric [3 + 2]-annulation of γ-sulfonamido-α,β-unsaturated ketones with cyclic N-sulfimines has been developed, and enantioenriched functionalized polyheterotricyclic imidazolidines were obtained in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. This approach was also extended to the asymmetric [3 + 2]-annulation of γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones, affording enantioenriched polyheterotricyclic oxazolidines. In addition, base-catalyzed [3 + 2]-annulations of γ-sulfonamido/γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones with cyclic N-sulfimines were re-investigated under mild reaction conditions for the synthesis of racemic polyheterotricyclic imidazolidines and oxazolidines with excellent diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the catalysis of N-heterocyclic carbenes has achieved significant advances. In this area, aldehydes, enals, and esters, are commonly employed as starting materials through various catalytic activation modes. However, NHC-activated strategy of amide and its derivatives remains elusive. Described herein is the realization of asymmetric desymmetrization of N-Cbz glutarimides with alcohols through an imide C-N bond cleavage under NHC organocatalysis. A structurally diverse set of enantioenriched 4-amido esters is generated with acceptable yields and high enantioselectivities. This method features mild reaction conditions, excellent substrate scope, and excellent atom economy. DFT calculations have been performed to explore the detailed reaction mechanism and the origin of the enantioselectivity, which indicate that the strength of the C-H···O hydrogen bond and C–H⋯π interactions should be responsible for the stereoselectivity. The current strategy could open a door for efficient construction of (R)-Rolipram with excellent stereoselectivity. Desymmetrization of achiral building blocks is one of the most efficient ways to access enantiopure compounds of synthetic relevance. Here, the authors desymmetrize glutarimides with alcohols via an imide C–N bond cleavage under NHC organocatalysis.

Abstract
The recent advances in the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-organocatalyzed generation of azolium enolate intermediates and their subsequent interception with electrophiles are highlighted. The NHC-bound azolium intermediates are generated by the addition of NHCs to suitably substituted aldehydes, acid derivatives or ketenes. A broad range of coupling partners can intercept the azolium enolates to form [2+n] cycloadducts (n=2,3,4) and various α-functionalized compounds. The enantioselective synthesis of the target compounds are achieved with the use of chiral NHCs. Herein, we summarized the development that occurred in this subclass of NHC catalysis.

Abstract
Predicting the chemoselectivity of [2 + 2] cyclizations is an important challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we provided a valuable case for this issue. Density functional theory calculations were performed to systematically study the possible mechanisms and origin of selectivities for the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed oxidative α-C(sp3)-H activation of aliphatic aldehydes and the cascade [2 + 2] cycloaddition with ketimines. The [2 + 2] cycloaddition of azolium enolate intermediates to the C═N bond, rather than the C═O bond of ketimine, is revealed to be determined by chemo- and stereoselectivity. By comparing the energy gap between the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) of the two reacting parts involved in the [2 + 2] cycloaddition transition states, we propose a new strategy to determine the origin of the reaction chemoselectivity. Moreover, the local nucleophilic index can efficiently predict the active site of ketimines. Further analyses illustrate that NHC can increase the nucleophilicity of aldehydes and the acidity of the α-C(sp3)-H bond, and 3,3',5,5'-tetra- tert-butyl diphenoquinone (DQ) acts as an oxidant and promotes α-C(sp3)-H bond deprotonation. This work is useful not only for understanding the NHC-catalyzed oxidative [2 + 2] annulation but also for developing new applications of the FMO theory in organocatalytic cyclizations.

In this study, the first example of the carbene-catalyzed tandem dearomatization/rearomatization reaction of azonaphthalenes with α-chloroaldehydes is described. This protocol enables the efficient assembly of chiral dihydrocinnolinone derivatives in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Moreover, this strategy enables not only the highly enantioselective NHC-catalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution, but also a formal Csp2–Csp3 bond formation.

Abstract
An organocatalytic asymmetric cascade reaction has been developed for the synthesis of highly substituted pyrrolidines having a stereogenic quaternary centre at the 3-position. N-Tosyl aminomethyl enone and trans-α-cyano-α,β-unsaturated ketone were utilized as the reaction partners in this method. Cinchonidine derived bifunctional amino-squaramide catalysts were the best to obtain the products in high enantio- and diastereoselectivities.
