Abstract
Asymmetric catalytic reactions rely on chiral catalysts that induce highly ordered transition states capable of imparting stereoselectivity in the bond-forming step(s). Productive deviations from this paradigm are rare yet hold the potential for accessing different stereoisomers using the same catalyst. Here, we present an enantio- and diastereoselective Michael addition of β-keto amides to nitroolefin electrophiles proceeding via an unusual scenario where the kinetic diastereocontrol imparted by the catalyst may be overridden by crystallization to provide the complementary stereoisomer of the product.

Abstract
A domino difunctionalization of sulfonyl(acryl)imides to form β-substituted α-aryl amides is reported. This transformation involves a 1,4-addition followed by a polar Truce-Smiles rearrangement process, entropically driven by release of SO2. A wide range of carbon- and heteroatom-based nucleophiles and sulfonyl imides were employed, allowing rapid access to highly functionalized amides. In contrast to related reactions with a radical pathway, unbiased substrates could be employed. Despite the usual requirement of an electron-poor migrating moiety for the SNAr event, we herein report unique and unprecedented vinylogous migrations of electron-neutral arenes. Additionally, a one-pot process toward β-amido amides starting from acrylic acids has been developed.

Abstract
Curcumin is a key constituent of turmeric with a variety of biological activities. From a chemical point of view, curcumin contains different functional groups that can undergo multiple transformations such as Michael addition, cycloaddition, click reaction, polymerisation, etc. Among these, Michael-type reactions under benign conditions constitute a captivating domain of curcumin's reactivity. To the best of our knowledge, no review focusing on the Michael donor-acceptor reactivity of curcumins has been published to date. Herein, we have compiled the chemistry of curcumins with respect to their chemical synthesis, biosynthesis, and involvement in chemical transformations, especially in Michael additions with advances in mechanistic aspects and understanding.

Abstract
This work demonstrates asymmetric synthesis of the GABA derivative (R)-baclofen and a new herbicidal mode-of-action inhibitor (3S,4S)-tetflupyrolimet featuring low loading (0.5 mol%) organocatalytic addition reactions of dithiomalonates to nitrostyrenes under "on water" conditions. Importantly, we observed that increasing the hydrophobicity of the catalyst does not guarantee improved catalytic performance under "on water" conditions and the trends in the catalytic efficiency of different HBD catalysts under "on water" conditions (with hydrophobic additives) align more closely with those observed in pure hydrophobic organic solvents. These findings propose a valuable tip for screening organocatalysts in developing asymmetric hydrogen-bonding catalysis under "on water" conditions.

Abstract
The chiral framework based on 11-aminomefloquine has been utilized for the first time to construct bifunctional organocatalysts. These catalysts demonstrate high enantioselectivity in both Michael additions and Friedel-Crafts reactions across a variety of substrates, achieving up to >99% ee. The distinctive feature is the incorporation of a secondary amine group, offering unique tight hydrogen-bonding capabilities in the protonated state, as supported by DFT computation. The diversity of these organocatalysts suggests their broad applicability across multiple reaction classes.

Abstract
Asymmetric Michael additions are powerful tools to meet the growing need for stereochemically complex products. While 1,3-dicarbonyls are common nucleophiles, the successful use of configurationally unstable β-keto esters in diastereoselective variants remains understudied. In this Letter, crystalline β-keto esters were leveraged in a two-phase, one-pot merger of an asymmetric Michael addition with a crystallization-induced diastereomer transformation. Tuning the crystallinity of β-keto ester adducts enabled stereoconvergence of the products, which were isolated by filtration.

Abstract
The proportion of approved chiral drugs and drug candidates under medical studies has surged dramatically over the past two decades. As a consequence, the efficient synthesis of enantiopure pharmaceuticals or their synthetic intermediates poses a profound challenge to medicinal and process chemists. The significant advancement in asymmetric catalysis has provided an effective and reliable solution to this challenge. The successful application of transition metal catalysis, organocatalysis, and biocatalysis to the medicinal and pharmaceutical industries has promoted drug discovery by efficient and precise preparation of enantio-enriched therapeutic agents, and facilitated the industrial production of active pharmaceutical ingredient in an economic and environmentally friendly fashion. The present review summarizes the most recent applications (2008-2022) of asymmetric catalysis in the pharmaceutical industry ranging from process scales to pilot and industrial levels. It also showcases the latest achievements and trends in the asymmetric synthesis of therapeutic agents with state of the art technologies of asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
We describe the first enantioselective synthesis of highly functionalized 1-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes (1-IM). The 1-IM scaffold is present in natural products and drugs and is an isomer of the morphan moiety. The proposed methodology is based on an organocatalytic Michael addition of N-protected piperidine ketoesters to nitroalkenes and an intramolecular nitro-Mannich reaction as key transformations. The 1-IMs feature 6 contiguous stereocenters, substituents at positions 2 and 4, and nitro, ester, and hydroxyl functional groups at positions 3, 5, and 6 respectively. The synthesis is straightforward, highly stereoselective (up to 98% ee, >99 : 1 d.r.), with overall yields of up to 83% and requires only two purification steps.

Abstract
We present a sodium trifluoroacetate (CF3CO2Na) mediated copper-catalyzed aza-Michael addition of aromatic amines with activated olefins under mild, aqueous reaction conditions. This simplistic protocol employs a copper catalyst (10 mol%) and water as solvent. This transformation occurs precisely with aromatic substituted amines containing both electron-donating (EDG) and electron-withdrawing (EWG) groups. A broad range of substrates were tested under the optimized conditions, which are producing good to moderate yields.

Abstract
A catalyst type is disclosed allowing for exceptional efficiency in direct 1,4-additions. The catalyst is a zwitterionic entity, in which acetate binds to CuII , which is formally negatively charged and serving as counterion for benzimidazolium. All 3 functionalities are involved in the catalytic activation. For maleimides productivity was increased by a factor >300 compared to literature (TONs up to 6700). High stereoselectivity and productivity was attained for a broad range of other Michael acceptors as well. The polyfunctional catalyst is accessible in only 4 steps from N-Ph-benzimidazole with an overall yield of 96 % and robust during catalysis. This allowed to reuse the same catalyst multiple times with nearly constant efficiency. Mechanistic studies, in particular by DFT, give a detailed picture how the catalyst operates. The benzimidazolium unit stabilizes the coordinated enolate nucleophile and prevents that acetate/acetic acid dissociate from the catalyst.

Abstract
The applications of 2-hydroxy-β-nitrostyrenes as efficient bifunctional intermediates in organic synthesis are investigated in this review. For this purpose, reactions of 2-hydroxy-β-nitrostyrenes with diverse molecules, including carbonyl compounds, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, hemiacetals, nitroalkenes, γ-butenolides, tetronic acid, azalactones, pyrazolones, enamines, malononitrile, methyleneindolinones, ylides, etc., were investigated to construct interesting biologically active scaffolds such as chromans, chromenes, coumarins, benzofurans and their fused and spiro rings, natural products, and other useful cyclic and acyclic compounds. The main focus is on the asymmetric synthesis of these compounds via cascade/domino/tandem reactions catalyzed by chiral organocatalysts. In this review, around 60 papers reported between the years 2000 and 2022 are presented.

Abstract
In the current study, a series of new (2S,3S)-2-(4-isopropylbenzyl)-2-methyl-4-nitro-3-phenylbutanals (FM1-6) with their corresponding carboxylic acid analogues (FM7-12) has been synthesized. Initially, the aldehydic derivatives were isolated in the diastereomeric form, and the structures were confirmed with NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Based on the encouraging results in in vitro COX 1/2, 5-LOX and antioxidant assays, we oxidized the compounds and obtained the pure single (major) diastereomer for activities. Among all the compounds, FM4, FM10 and FM12 were the leading compounds based on their potent IC50 values. The IC50 values of compounds FM4, FM10 and FM12 were 0.74, 0.69 and 0.18 µM, respectively, in COX-2 assay. Similarly, the IC50 values of these three compounds were also dominant in COX-1 assay. In 5-LOX assay, the majority of our compounds were potent inhibitors of the enzyme. Based on the potency and safety profiles, FM10 and FM12 were subjected to the in vivo experiments. The compounds FM10 and FM12 were observed with encouraging results in in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory models. The molecular docking studies of the selected compounds show binding interactions in the minimized pocked of the target proteins. It is obvious from the overall results that FM10 and FM12 are potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
A facile approach to tri-substituted tetrahydrothiophenes via thia-Michael/aldol has been developed. The cascade reaction was carried out in the presence of 5 mol% of DABCO in ethyl acetate to afford diversely functionalized tetrahydrothiophenes (THTs) with excellent diastereoselectivity. The present methodology has broad substrate tolerance. Gram-scale reaction proceeds with equal efficiency. Functional group transformations further highlight the synthetic potential of the THTs. An asymmetric version of the cascade reaction has also been investigated and a maximum of 72% ee was observed with cinchonidine derived squaramide. Moreover, in silico based molecular docking followed by deep learning based affinity prediction and molecular dynamics simulation analysis indicate the synthesized THT derivatives can act as potent competitive inhibitors of MptpB at low micromolar to nanomolar concentrations. In silico ADME analysis further suggests the plausibility of these compounds to act as future anti-mycobacterial therapeutic leads.

Abstract
Synthetic chiral catalysts generally rely on proximal functional groups or ligands for chiral induction. Enzymes often employ environmental chirality to achieve stereoselectivity. Environmentally controlled catalysis has benefits such as size and shape selectivity but is underexplored by chemists. We here report molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (MINPs) that utilized their environmental chirality to either augment or reverse the intrinsic selectivity of a chiral prolinamide cofactor. The latter ability allowed the catalyst to produce products otherwise disfavored in the conjugate addition of aldehyde to nitroalkene. The catalysis occurred in water at room temperature and afforded γ-nitroaldehydes with excellent yields (up to 94%) and ee (>90% in most cases). Up to 25:1 syn/anti and 1:6 syn/anti ratios were achieved through a combination of catalyst-derived and environmentally enabled selectivity. The high enantioselectivity of the MINP also made it possible for racemic catalysts to perform asymmetric catalysis, with up to 80% ee for the conjugate addition.

Abstract
The synthesis of bifunctional N-sulfinylureas and thioureas with an appended pyrrolidine unit is presented. These organocatalysts were evaluated in Michael additions of aldehydes to nitroalkenes both under solvent-free conditions and in solution. The N-sulfinylurea catalyst was more efficient than the corresponding thiourea. For some substrates, enantioselectivities reached 98% ee. The stereogenic center on the sulfur did not have a considerable influence on the catalytic reactions. Under ball-milling conditions, the Michael adducts were obtained in good yields but with slightly lower enantiomeric purities than in solution. DFT calculations elucidated its mode of action and confirmed a dual activation mode, which combines enamine activation of aldehydes and hydrogen-bond activation of nitroalkenes.

Abstract
Organocatalysts are abundantly used for various transformations, particularly to obtain highly enantio- and diastereomeric pure products by controlling the stereochemistry. These applications of organocatalysts have been the topic of several reviews. Organocatalysts have emerged as one of the very essential areas of research due to their mild reaction conditions, cost-effective nature, non-toxicity, and environmentally benign approach that obviates the need for transition metal catalysts and other toxic reagents. Various types of organocatalysts including amine catalysts, Brønsted acids, and Lewis bases such as N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysts, cinchona alkaloids, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), and hydrogen bond-donating catalysts, have gained renewed interest because of their regioselectivity. In this review, we present recent advances in regiodivergent reactions that are governed by organocatalysts. Additionally, we briefly discuss the reaction pathways of achieving regiodivergent products by changes in conditions such as solvents, additives, or the temperature.

Abstract
Maleimides are often used as electrophiles in conventional reactions; however, their application as nucleophiles is limited to only a few reactions, and reactions utilizing α-aminomaleimides as asymmetric Michael donors have not been reported to date. Thus, in this work, asymmetric Michael addition of α-aminomaleimides as Michael donors to β-nitrostyrenes was conducted for the first time using an organocatalyst derived from a Cinchona alkaloid. Density functional theory investigations were crucial to improve the enantioselectivity of the adduct.
