Abstract
In this study, we present a novel and environmentally sustainable protocol for the γ-hydrofunctionalization of N-allenyl compounds using various heteronucleophiles catalyzed solely by simple Brønsted acids. The method displays remarkable attributes, highlighting its sustainability, efficiency, regio- and stereoselectivity, as well as its versatile applicability to diverse heteroatom-containing enamides. Notably, our approach eliminates the need for metal catalysts and toxic solvents, representing a significant advancement in greener chemistry practices. We demonstrate the broad scope of our protocol by successfully scaling up reactions to gram-scale syntheses, underscoring its robustness for potential industrial implementation. The resulting γ-heterosubstituted enamides offer new possibilities for further synthetic transformations, yielding highly functionalized compounds with diverse applications. Mechanistic investigations reveal the pivotal role of CSA as a catalyst, enabling alcohol addition via a covalent activation mode.

Abstract
Chiral 1,2-diamino compounds are important building blocks in organic chemistry for biological applications and as asymmetric inducers in stereoselective synthesis that are challenging to prepare in a straightforward and stereoselective manner. Herein, we disclose a cost-effective and readily available Cu-catalyzed system for the reductive coupling of a chiral allenamide with N-alkyl substituted aldimines to access chiral 1,2-diamino synthons as single stereoisomers in high yields. The method shows broad reaction scope and high diastereoselectivity and can be easily scaled using standard Schlenk techniques. Mechanistic investigations by density functional theory calculations identified the mechanism and origin of stereoselectivity. In particular, the addition to the imine was shown to be reversible, which has implications toward development of catalyst-controlled stereoselective variants of the identified reductive coupling of imines and allenamides.

Abstract
An intermolecular radical addition, using photoredox catalysis, to allenamides and allencarbamates is reported. This transformation synthesizes N-acyl-N’-aryl-N,N’-allylaminals, and proceeds by a conjugated N-acyliminium intermediate that previously has principally been generated by electrophilic activation methods. The radical adds to the central carbon of the allene giving a conjugated N-acyliminium that undergoes nucleophilic addition by arylamines and alcohols.

Abstract
Merging the ability of cationic gold(I) catalysts to activate unsaturated π-systems with the electrophiles-driven ring-opening reactions of furans, we describe a new approach to synthesize 2-spiroindolin-3-ones from 4 H-furo[3,2- b]indoles. The reaction occurs through a cascade sequence involving addition of a gold-activated allene to the furan moiety of the starting furoindole followed by a ring-opening/ring-closing event affording 2-spirocyclopentane-1,2-dihydro-3 H-indolin-3-ones in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
The base-catalyzed isomerization of N-propargylamides or carbamates may furnish N-allenyl compounds (allenamides/allencarbamates) or further evolve to N-alkynyl compounds (ynamides or yncarbamates). The particular fate of this reaction varies from experiment to experiment and there is no clear rule for predicting the reaction outcome for a particular structure. With the support of ab initio and DFT computations, this work shows that observed results can be explained by assuming an exchange equilibrium between energetically close N-propargyl, allenyl and N-alkynyl forms and that the reaction outcome correlates to a particular equilibrium mixture. Due to the very small energy gap between the N-allenyl and N-alkynyl forms, small structural changes may easily alter the equilibrium position, explaining the variety of observed experimental results. Based on CBS-QB3 computations, the ωB97 functional provided reasonably accurate isomerization energies and could successfully predict the experimentally observed behavior for several examples from the literature.

Abstract
Various readily available, Ugi-derived dehydroalanines were used as pivotal templates to easily and efficiently assemble diverse pharmacologically important polyheterocyclic systems through cascade palladium-catalyzed C-C bond formation processes. Allyl, homoallyl and propargylamine led to the formation of benzopyrrolizidinones, benzoindolizidinones and pyrazinoisoquinolines, respectively, while benzylamines and o-bromobenzylamines were used as precursors of tetracyclic-fused systems and pyrazionoisoquinolindiones.
