Abstract
A Pd(II)/N,N'-disulfonyl bisimidazoline-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-conjugate addition reaction of low-cost arylboronic acids with readily available β-substituted cyclic enones is described, providing a straightforward way of constructing cyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters with high enantioselectivity, in which ≥96% ee was obtained in most cases. The reaction proceeded without the protection of inert gas, making the operation process simple. Theoretical calculations have been applied to understand the origins of enantioselectivity.

Phosphine-Catalyzed Synthesis and Cytotoxic Evaluation of Michael Adducts of the Sesquiterpene Lactone Arglabin. ChemMedChem 2024; 19:e202400045.

Abstract
A general method for chemo- and diastereoselective modification of anticancer natural product arglabin with nitrogen- and carbon-centered pronucleophiles under the influence of nucleophilic phosphine catalysts was developed. The locked s-cis-geometry of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone moiety of arglabin favors for the additional stabilization of the zwitterionic intermediate by electrostatic interaction between phosphonium and enolate oxygen centers, leading to the unprecedentedly high efficiency of the phosphine-catalyzed Michael additions to this sesquiterpene lactone. Using n-Bu3P as the catalyst, pyrazole, phthalimide, 2-oxazolidinone, 4-quinazolinone, uracil, thymine, cytosine, and adenine adducts of arglabin were obtained. The n-Bu3P-catalyzed reaction of arglabin with active methylene compounds resulted in the predominant formation of bisadducts bearing a new quaternary carbon center. All synthesized Michael adducts and previously obtained phosphorylated arglabin derivatives were evaluated in vitro against eleven cancer and two normal cell lines, and the results were compared to those of natural arglabin and its dimethylamino hydrochloride salt currently used as anticancer drugs. 2-Oxazolidinone, uracil, diethyl malonate, dibenzyl phosphonate, and diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate derivatives of arglabin exhibited more potent antiproliferative activity towards several cancer cell lines and lower cytotoxicity towards normal cell lines in comparison to the reference compounds, indicating the feasibility of the developed methodology for the design of novel anticancer drugs with better therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Herein, we reveal an unprecedented domino annulation of N-benzyl-acrylamides with 1,3-dicarbonyls for the assembly of fused tricyclic alkaloid frameworks incorporating a spirocycle via an alkylation/dearomative ipso-annulation/Michael addition (desymmetrization) sequence. This conversion involves three carbon-carbon bond formations, generating four chiral carbons, including three quaternary carbon centers, in a single diastereomer in one pot under identical reaction conditions. The synthetic potential of this atom-economic method is illustrated by modifications of the functional groups present in the products obtained.

Cross-coupling of organic fluorides with allenes: a silyl-radical-relay pathway for the construction of α-alkynyl-substituted all-carbon quaternary centres. Chem Sci 2024; 15:5113-5122.

Abstract
Controlling the transformation of versatile and reactive allenes is a considerable challenge. Herein, we report an efficient silylboronate-mediated cross-coupling reaction of organic fluorides with allenes to construct a series of sterically demanding α-ethynyl-containing all-carbon quaternary centers (ACQCs), using catalyst-free silyl-radical-relay reactions to selectively functionalize highly inert C-F bonds in organic fluorides. The key to the success of this transformation lies in the radical rearrangement of an in situ-generated allenyl radical to form a bulky tertiary propargyl radical; however, the transformation does not show efficiency when using the propargyl isomer directly. This unique reaction enables the cross-coupling of a tertiary carbon radical center with a C(sp2)-F bond or a benzylic C(sp3)-F bond. α-Ethynyl-containing ACQCs with (hetero)aromatic substituents and benzyl were efficiently synthesized in a single step using electronically and sterically diverse organic fluorides and allenes. The practical utility of this protocol is showcased by the late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules and the modification of a liquid crystalline material.

Abstract
The construction of multiple continuous fully substituted carbon centers, which serve as unique structural motif in natural products, is a challenging topic in organic synthesis. Herein, we report a hydrated [3+2] cyclotelomerization of butafulvenes to create contiguous fully substituted carbon backbone. In the presence of scandium triflate, all-carbon skeleton with spiro fused tricyclic ring can be constructed in high diastereoselectivity by utilizing butafulvene as the synthon. Mechanistic studies suggest that this atom-economic reaction probably proceeds through a synergistic process containing butafulvenes dimerization and nucleophilic attack by water. In addition, the tricyclic product can undergo a series of synthetic derivatizations, which highlights the potential applications of this strategy. The recyclability of Sc(OTf)3 has also been demonstrated to show its robust performance in this hydrated cyclotelomerization.

Abstract
A two-step protocol for the modular synthesis of β2- and α-quaternary β2,2-amino acid derivatives is reported. The key steps are a photocatalytic hydroalkylation reaction, followed by an oxidative functionalisation to access N-protected β-amino acids, esters, and amides. This strategy can be effectively scaled up via continuous-flow technology.

Abstract
The chemical synthesis of molecules with closely packed atoms having their bond coordination saturated is a challenge to synthetic chemists, especially when three-dimensional control is required. The organocatalyzed asymmetric synthesis of acyclic alkenylated, alkynylated and heteroarylated quaternary carbon stereocenters via 1,4-conjugate addition is here catalyzed by 3,3´-bisperfluorotoluyl-BINOL. The highly useful products (31 examples) are produced in up to 99% yield and 97:3 er using enediketone substrates and potassium trifluoroorganoborate nucleophiles. In addition, mechanistic experiments show that the (Z)-isomer is the reactive form, ketone rotation at the site of bond formation is needed for enantioselectivity, and quaternary carbon formation is favored over tertiary. Density functional theory-based calculations show that reactivity and selectivity depend on a key n→π* donation by the unbound ketone's oxygen lone pair to the boronate-coordinated ketone in a 5-exo-trig cyclic ouroboros transition state. Transformations of the conjugate addition products to key quaternary carbon-bearing synthetic building blocks proceed in good yield.

Abstract
Catalytic cross-couplings of tertiary alkyl electrophiles with carbon nucleophiles offer a powerful platform for constructing quaternary carbon centers, which are prevalent in bioactive molecules. However, these reactions remain underdeveloped primarily because of steric challenges that impede efficient bond formation. Herein, we describe the copper-catalyzed synthesis of such centers through the C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond-forming reaction between tertiary alkyl halides and arene rings of aniline derivatives, enabled by the strategic implementation of bidentate bis(cyclopropenimine) ligands. The copper catalyst bound by two imino-nitrogen atoms of these ligands, which have never been employed in metal catalysis previously, is highly effective in rapidly activating tertiary halides to generate alkyl radicals, allowing them to react with aryl nucleophiles under mild conditions with remarkably short reaction times (1-2 h). Various tertiary halides bearing carbonyl functional groups can be coupled with secondary or primary anilines, furnishing a range of quaternary carbon centers in good yields. Several mechanistic observations support the generation of copper(II) species and alkyl radicals which as a result elucidate the steps in the proposed catalytic cycle.

Abstract
An unprecedented enantioselective organocatalytic spirocyclization strategy is presented by in situ generation of aminoisobezofulvenes. The reaction sequence involves a reductive Michael/aldol-condensation/Michael addition cascade by iminium-enamine catalysis. The key success of this spirocyclization was the formation of intermediatory nucleophilic aminoisobenzofuvenes accountable for intramolecular Michael addition. Benzospirononanes featuring an all carbon qauternary spirocenter were obtained using proline-derived amino-organocatalyst in moderate to good yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20 : 1 dr, and 99 % ee). Post-methodological manipulation of benzospirononanes was also demonstrated.

Abstract
The first enantioselective total syntheses of (-)-caulamidine D (5) and (-)-isocaulamidine D (6) were accomplished. Their absolute configurations were unambiguously elucidated through X-ray crystallography. The isolated natural samples of both 5 and 6 are determined to be the TFA salts instead of the neutral forms. It took 16 steps (longest linear sequence) to divergently access both 5 and 6 following a unified strategy. The key reactions include (1) development and application of an asymmetric Meerwein-Eschenmoser-Claisen rearrangement to construct the challenging C10, C23 consecutive stereocenters and (2) application of a cascade 6-exo-dig/6-exo-tet amine/nitrile cyclization reaction.

We achieved a concise total synthesis of salimabromide by using a novel intramolecular radical cyclization to simultaneously construct the unique benzo-fused [4.3.1] carbon skeleton and the vicinal quaternary stereocenters. Other notable transformations include a tandem Michael/Mukaiyama aldol reaction to introduce most of the molecule's structural elements, along with hidden information for late-stage transformations, an intriguing tandem oxidative cyclization of a diene to form the bridged butyrolactone and enone moieties spontaneously, and a highly enantioselective hydrogenation of a cycloheptenone derivative (97% ee) that paved the way for the asymmetric synthesis of salimabromide.

Abstract
The synthesis of molecules bearing two or more contiguous, quaternary stereocenters is challenging, owing to the difficulty in controlling stereochemistry whilst simultaneously constructing a sterically congested motif. Herein, we report the electrophile-induced ring contractive 1,2-metallate rearrangement of 6-membered cyclic alkenyl boronate complexes for the synthesis of cyclopentyl boronic esters bearing two contiguous, fully substituted stereocenters with high levels of stereocontrol. Remarkably, simple variation of the reaction solvent enabled their diastereodivergent construction with facile access to complementary diastereomeric pairs. The utility of our methodology is demonstrated in the asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-herbertene-1,14-diol.

Abstract
An NHC-catalyzed enantio- and diastereoselective [3 + 2] annulation of α-bromoenals with bisoxindoles is developed, affording efficient access to various spirocyclic bisoxindole alkaloids. This protocol tolerates a broad substrates scope, with various spirocyclic bisoxindoles obtained in generally excellent enantioselectivities. More importantly, two contiguous sterically congested all-carbon quaternary stereocenters are successfully created during this process.

Abstract
In this work, we would like to present the development of a highly optimized method for generating the quaternary stereogenic centers in β-keto esters. This enantioselective phase-transfer alkylation catalyzed by hybrid Cinchona catalysts allows for the efficient generation of the optically active products with excellent enantioselectivity, using only 1 mol% of the catalyst. The vast majority of phase-transfer catalysts in asymmetric synthesis work by creating ionic pairs with the nucleophile-attacking anionic substrate. Therefore, it is a sensible approach to search for new methodologies capable of introducing functional groups into the precursor’s structure, maintaining high yields and enantiomeric purity.

Abstract
![]()
Organoaluminum species
promote a smooth nucleophilic substitution
at the quaternary carbon stereocenter of stereodefined polysubstituted
cyclopropyl methyl phosphate with a complete inversion of configuration,
even when more reactive functional groups are present. The regio-
and diastereoselectivity of the substitution is attributed to the
existence of a bicyclobutonium intermediate.

Abstract
A three-step process for the enantioselective assembly of cis-fused octahydrophenanthrenes with a quaternary stereocenter is reported. This synthetic strategy relies on a regioselective γ-alkylation, a one-pot sequence of asymmetric hydrogenation and oxidation, and an intramolecular enolate arylation to facilitate the rapid and enantioselective construction of cis-fused octahydrophenanthrene scaffolds with an arylated all-carbon quaternary stereocenter concisely and efficiently.
