Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a critical component of the innate immune system. The persistent abnormal activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is implicated in numerous human diseases. Herein, sulfonamide-substituted tetrahydroquinoline derivative S-9 was identified as the most promising NLRP3 inhibitor, without obvious cytotoxicity. In vitro, S-9 inhibited the priming and activation stages of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Incidentally, we also observed that S-9 had inhibitory effects on the NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasomes. To elucidate the multiple anti-inflammatory activities of S-9, photoaffinity probe P-2, which contained a photoaffinity label and a functional handle, was developed for target identification by chemical proteomics. We identified PKR as a novel target of S-9 in addition to NLRP3 by target fishing. Furthermore, S-9 exhibited a significant anti-neuroinflammatory effect in vivo. In summary, our findings show that S-9 is a promising lead compound targeting both PKR and NLRP3 that could emerge as a molecular tool for treating inflammasome-related diseases.

Abstract
Natural products have been important in the discovery of new drugs, but their use is limited due to issues with accessibility and synthesis. Tetrahydronaphthoquinoline-dione (THNQ-dione) is a key structural feature found in several natural and synthetic compounds that exhibit notable biological properties. The unique properties of THNQ-diones can be attributed to the fusion of tetrahydroquinoline and anthraquinone moieties. These alkaloids are synthesised through various biosynthetic pathways, leading to diverse structures and bioactivities. Despite their significance, THNQ-diones have not been extensively covered in the review literature, highlighting the importance of this article in discussing their natural occurrence and biological activities. This article explores the distribution of THNQ-dione alkaloids in different organisms and their potential as a source of novel bioactive natural products.

Abstract
By employing [IrCp*Cl2]2/Mg(OMe)2/(CH2O)n as an applicable catalyst system, we report a reductive β-alkylation of (iso)quinolinium salts with cost-effective and readily available β-chloro ketones, proceeding with good chemoselectivity, mild reaction conditions, and without the need for introduction of a substituent at position-3 of the quinolyl skeleton. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the reaction proceeds via a sequence of hydride transfer-initiated dearomatization of (iso)quinolinium salts, in situ enamine-trapping of enone and a second round of hydride transfer to the coupling adducts. The present work offers an important complement to the synthesis of functionalized (iso)tetrahydroquinolines.

Abstract
Optically pure 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (THQs) represent a class of important motifs in many natural products and pharmaceutical agents. While recent advances on redox biocatalysis have demonstrated the great potential of amine oxidases, all the transformations focused on 2-substituted THQs. The corresponding biocatalytic method for the preparation of chiral 4-substituted THQs is still challenging due to the poor activity and stereoselectivity of the available enzyme. Herein, we developed a biocatalytic kinetic resolution approach for enantiodivergent synthesis of 4-phenyl- or alkyl-substituted THQs. Through structure-guided protein engineering of cyclohexylamine oxidase derived from Brevibacterium oxidans IH-35 A (CHAO), the variant of CHAO (Y215H/Y214S) displayed improved specific activity toward model substrate 4-phenyl substituted THQ (0.14 U/mg, 13-fold higher than wild-type CHAO) with superior (R)-stereoselectivity (E > 200). Molecular dynamics simulations show that CHAO Y215H/Y214S allows a suitable substrate positioning in the expanded binding pocket to be facilely accessed, enabling enhanced activity and stereoselectivity. Furthermore, a series of 4-alkyl-substituted THQs can be transformed by CHAO Y215H/Y214S, affording R-isomers with good yields (up to 50 %) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to ee > 99 %). Interestingly, the monoamine oxidase from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 (PfMAO1) with opposite enantioselectivity was also mined. Together, this system enriches the kinetic resolution methods for the synthesis of chiral THQs.

Abstract
An efficient copper-catalyzed one-pot sequential synthesis of alkenylated quinolinyl dihydroquinolinones is reported, utilizing ketones, 1,3-cyclohexanediones, and benzyl alcohols via dehydrogenative cyclization, followed by alkenylation. This highly straightforward method provides a mild and environmentally friendly approach, and scalable reactions are carried out without generating side products. Furthermore, a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed based on control-experiment studies and reaction monitoring via1H NMR analysis. In addition, the photophysical behavior of the synthesized products showed various responses in the absorption and emission spectra. Upon further examination, compound 4F was found to have acidochromic properties, leading to noticeable colour changes.

Abstract
An efficient sequential multi-component method for the synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline containing dithiocarbamates has been developed. This reaction involved a boronic acid-catalysed reduction of quinolines to tertrahydroquinolines, followed by nucleophilic addition reaction with carbon disulphide to form dithiocarbamic acids and subsequent S-arylation via external base-free Chan-Evans-Lam coupling in a one-pot operation. The methodology is compatible with a wide variety of functional groups and also useful in the late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals. The dual role of the boronic acid as a catalyst (in the reduction of quinolines) and as a reagent (in the S-arylation) has been demonstrated for the first time herein.

Abstract
Chalcogen bond catalysis, particularly cationic hypervalent chalcogen bond catalysis, is considered to be an effective strategy for organocatalysis. In this work, the cationic hypervalent chalcogen bond catalysis for the Povarov reaction between N-benzylideneaniline and ethyl vinyl ether was investigated by density functional theory (DFT). The catalytic reaction involves the cycloaddition process and the proton transfer process, and the rate-determining step is the cycloaddition process. Cationic hypervalent tellurium derivatives bearing CF3 and F groups exhibit superior catalytic activity. For the rate-determining step, the Gibbs free energy barrier decreases as the positive electrostatic potential of the chalcogen bond catalysts increases. More importantly, the Gibbs free energy barrier has a strong linear correlation with the electrostatic energy of the chalcogen bond in the catalyst-substrate complex. Furthermore, the catalytic reactions include the endo pathway and exo pathway. The C-H⋅⋅⋅π interaction between the substituent of the ethyl vinyl ether and the aryl ring of the N-benzylideneaniline contributes to the endo-selectivity of the reaction. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of chalcogen bond catalysis, providing insights for designing chalcogen bond catalysts with high performance.

Abstract
In the vast majority of top-selling pharmaceutical and industrial products, phenolic structural motifs are highly prevalent. Non-functionalized simple phenols serve as building blocks in the synthesis of value-added chemicals. It is worth mentioning that lignin, being the largest renewable biomass source of aromatic building blocks in nature, mainly consists of phenolic units, which enable the production of structurally diverse phenols. Given their remarkable applicability in the chemical value chain, many efforts have been devoted to increasing the molecular complexity of the phenolic scaffold. Among the key techniques, direct functionalization of Csp2-H is a powerful tool, enabling the construction of new Csp2-C bonds in an economical and atomic manner. Herein we present and summarize the large plethora of direct Csp2-H functionalization methods that enables scaffold diversification of simple, unprotected phenols, leading to the formation of new Csp2-C bonds. In this review article, we intend to summarize the contributions that appeared in the literature mainly in the last 5 years dealing with the functionalization of unprotected phenols, both catalytic and non-catalytic. Our goal is to highlight the key findings and the ongoing challenges in the stimulating and growing research dedicated to the development of new protocols for the valorization of phenols.

Abstract
Sulfur, alongside oxygen and nitrogen, holds a prominent position as one of the key heteroatoms in nature and medicinal chemistry. Its significance stems from its ability to adopt different oxidation states, rendering it valuable as both a polarity handle and a hydrogen bond donor/acceptor. Nevertheless, the poisonous nature of its free electron pairs makes sulfur containing substrates inaccessible for many catalytic protocols. Strong and (at low temperatures) irreversible chemisorption to the catalyst's surface is in particular detrimental for heterogeneous catalysts, possessing only few catalytically active sites. Herein, we present a novel heterogeneous Ru-S catalyst that tolerates multiple sulfur functionalities, including thioethers, thiophenes, sulfoxides, sulfones, sulfonamides, and sulfoximines, in the hydrogenation of quinolines. The utility of the products was further demonstrated by subsequent diversifications of the sulfur functionalities.

Abstract
ConspectusThe selective functionalization/transformation of ubiquitous pyridine-fused N-heteroarenes is a practical method to synthesize structurally novel N-heterocycles, which is important for the development of medicines, bioactive agents, agrochemicals, materials, ligands, sensors, pigments, dyes, etc. However, owing to thermodynamic stability, kinetic inertness, and lone electron pair-induced catalyst deactivation of the pyridine-fused N-heteroarenes, limited strategies (e.g., C-H activation/functionalization, electrophilic substitution, and the Minisci reaction) are available to realize the synthetic purpose and maintain the aromaticity of the final products. Moreover, the relevant transformations have limitations such as needing harsh reaction conditions, requiring the preinstallation of specific coupling agents containing transformable functionalities or directing groups, using less environmentally benign oxidants and/or acidic activators, and poor selectivity. Herein, considering that imines, enamines, radicals, and cyclic amines are generated during the reduction of pyridine-fused N-heteroarenes, the precise transformation of these reductive intermediates offers a fundamental basis for developing novel tandem reactions. Our group revealed that a slow reduction rate, synergistic catalysis, and controlled electroreduction are effective strategies for fulfilling the selective reductive functionalization of pyridine-fused N-heteroarenes. Thus, we established a series of new synthetic methods that provide diverse construction modalities for functionalized N-heterocycles. The striking features of these synthetic methods include high efficiency, atom economy, and the use of readily accessible N-heteroarenes as transformable feedstocks in the absence of flammable and pressurized H2 gas, alongside a promising potential of the obtained N-heterocyclic products. The present study would be appealing to the fields of synthetic organic chemistry, catalysis, biomedical chemistry, and functional materials. This Account describes the application of reductive dearomatization as substrate-activating and tandem reaction-initiating modes and summarizes the reductive functionalization of pyridine-fused N-heteroarenes via selective alkylation, arylation, and annulation at nitrogen, α, β, and other remote carbon sites achieved over the past 8 years. Details regarding the development of new reactions and their plausible mechanisms and perspectives are discussed. We hope our contributions to this field will aid in the further development of novel strategies for the functionalization/transformation of pyridine-fused N-heteroarenes and tackle the intractable challenges in this area.

Abstract
This paper reports the first examples of ground state radical-mediated intramolecular C-H amination to afford 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines from N-2,4-dinitrophenoxy derivatives of arylpropylamines. Whereas the photoactivation of N-2,4-dinitrophenoxyamines for intermolecular reactions has been established, ground state chemistry provides the desired cyclization products in moderate to excellent yields using Ru(bpy)3Cl2 (42-95% yields) under acidic conditions under an air atmosphere.

Abstract
Selective dehydrogenation reactions of tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives through electrochemical oxidation are disclosed. In the presence of nitric acid, the selective partial dehydrogenation of tetrahydroisoquinolines to form 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines was achieved via anodic oxidation. The results of CV (Cyclic Voltammograms) experiments and DFT calculations showed the 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines protonated by an external Brønsted acid to be less prone than their unprotonated counterparts to oxidation under electrochemical conditions, thus avoiding their further dehydrogenation. Moreover, a TEMPO-mediated electrochemical oxidation enabled a complete dehydrogenation to yield fully aromatized isoquinolines. Thus, tunable processes involving electrochemical dehydrogenation of tetrahydroisoquinolines could be used to selectively produce various 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines and isoquinoline derivatives.

Abstract
The Brønsted acid-controlled switchable synthesis of indoline-fused tetrahydroquinolines and indole-fused benzazepines was developed through hydride transfer-enabled formal [5 + 1] and [5 + 2] cyclization reactions from indoles and N-alkyl o-aminobenzoketones. Indoline, furanone, and tetrahydroquinoline hybridized pentacyclic products were unprecedentedly accessed via a cascade condensation/hydride transfer/dearomatization-cyclization/deethylation/nucleophilic addition process. In addition, the undeveloped hydride transfer-involved [5 + 2] cyclizations were also realized for direct construction of indole-fused benzazepines.

Abstract
Colloidal Ru nanoparticles (NP) display interesting catalytic properties for the hydrogenation of (hetero)arenes as they proceed efficiently in mild reaction conditions. In this work, a series of Ru based materials was used in order to selectively hydrogenate quinaldine and assess the impact of the stabilizing agent on their catalytic performances. Ru nanoparticles stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid (AdCOOH) allowed to obtain 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinaldine with a remarkable selectivity in mild reaction conditions by choosing the suitable solvent. The presence of a carboxylate ligand on the surface of the Ru NP led to an increase in the activity when compared to Ru/PVP catalyst. The stabilizing agent had also an impact on the selectivity, as carboxylate ligand modified catalysts promoted the selectivity towards 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinaldine, with bulky carboxylate displaying the highest ones.

Abstract
Aromatic amines are ubiquitous moieties in organic molecules and their direct functionalization is of great interest in many research areas due to their prevalence in pharmaceuticals and organic electronics. While several synthetic tools exist for the ortho- and para-functionalization of anilines, the functionalization of the less reactive meta-position is not easy to achieve with current methods. To date, the meta-C-H arylation of aniline derivatives has been restricted to either the use of directing groups & templates, or their transformation into anilides & quaternary anilinium salts. Herein, we report the first general and efficient meta-C-H-arylation of non-directed aniline derivatives via cooperative catalysis with a palladium-S,O-ligand-norbornene system. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with a wide range of aniline derivatives and aryl iodides, while being operationally simple and scalable. Our preliminary mechanistic investigation-including the isolation of several palladium complexes and deuterium experiments-reveal useful insights into the substituent-effects of both the aniline-substrate and the norbornene-mediator during the meta-C-H activation step.

Abstract
Seven-membered nitrogen heterocycles have a strong influence in drug discovery due to their inherent 3D character, which allows the ability to explore a vast conformational space with a biological target. Notably, the privileged 1,4-benzodiazepine scaffold is dominant in treating the central nervous system due to its binding affinity with the GABAA receptor. Herein, we report a protocol for the transformation of azidoquinones to p-quinone fused 5-substituted-1,4-benzodiazepines (p-QBZDs) from InCl3-catalyzed intermolecular tandem cycloannulation of azidoquinones with amines and aldehydes. Detailed mechanistic studies reveal that the EDA complex between azidoquinones and InCl3 is crucial in determining the reaction pathway. In the absence of EDA complex formation, the reaction proceeds via the intermediacy of 2,3-bridged-2H-azirine followed by regiospecific addition of an amine to C═N/ring opening/cyclization to deliver p-QBZD with 1,2-azide-nitrogen migration. In the case of EDA complex formation, the reaction proceeds through regioselective aza-Michael addition/nitrene insertion with aldehyde and subsequent cyclization to deliver p-QBZD and p-quinone fused imidazole as a secondary product without 1,2-azide-nitrogen migration. This protocol provides straightforward access to redox-active quinone embedded 5-substituted-1,4-benzodiazepines from azidoquinones with diverse substrate scopes that would find potential applications in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.

Abstract
This work describes an environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of benzoxazinones, quinoxalinones and benzothiazoles by the reaction of α-arylglyoxylic acids and ortho-functionalized aniline. In this reaction, no other reagents are needed except for reactants and solvents. The reaction was carried out at a mild temperature of 50 °C with only water and/or carbon dioxide as the by-product. Therefore, the reaction has high practical atom economy. In addition, this strategy could be scaled up to the gram level, and the natural product Cephamandole A could be synthesized on a mass scale.

Abstract
Visible-light-mediated heterogeneous photocatalysis has recently emerged as an environmentally friendly and energy-sustainable alternative for organic transformations. Despite the advancements in developing wide varieties of photocatalysts during the past decades, the accurate probing and identification of the photogenerated species, especially the short-lived radical intermediates, are still challenging. In this work, we reported a hybrid ion emitter that integrated with a pico-liter heterogeneous photocatalytic reactor, which was fabricated by depositing the photocatalyst (e.g., TiO2) into the front tip of a quartz micropipette. Benefited from the dual-function feature of the hybrid micropipette (i.e., a clog-free tip-confined pico-liter reactor for heterogeneous photocatalysis and an ion emitter for nanoelectrospray ionization), sensitized photoredox reactions at the catalyst-solution interface can be triggered upon visible-light irradiation using a cheap LED laser (453 nm), and the newly produced transient radical intermediates can be rapidly transformed into gaseous ions for mass spectrometric identification. Using this novel low-delay coupling device, photogenerated intermediates, including the cationic radicals produced during the photooxidation of anilines and the anionic radicals produced during the photoreduction of quinones, were successfully captured by mass spectrometry. We believe that our hybrid photochemical microreactor/ion emitter has provided a new and powerful tool for exploring the complicated heterogeneous photochemical processes, especially their ultrafast initial transformations.

Abstract
A formal palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative (4+2) cycloaddition reaction between 4-vinylbenzoxazinanones and 2-nitro-1,3-enynes has been developed to produce highly valuable, densely functionalized tetrahydroquinolines in moderate to excellent yields with high diastereoselectivity under mild reaction conditions. The optimised protocol tolerates a range of substituted 2-nitro-1,3-enynes, which represent an under-utilized class of dipolarophile for transition-metal catalyzed cycloadditions. The employed reaction methodology facilitates efficient cycloaddition with both N-H- and N-Ts-4-vinylbenzoxazinanone dipole precursors. The stereochemistry of the major and minor diastereomeric (4+2) cycloadducts was determined by single crystal X-ray analyses. A mechanistic rationale for the high intrinsic diastereoselectivity and preliminary enantioselective experiments are also presented. The tetrahydroquinoline cycloadduct products feature numerous pendant functionalities, including a vinyl handle, an internal alkyne motif and a nitro functionality (which functions as a latent C-3 nitrogen substituent) for further synthetic manipulations.

Abstract
This report reviews the most important lipase-catalyzed strategies for the preparation of pharmaceutically and chemically important tetrahydroisoquinoline and tetrahydro-β-carboline enantiomers through O-acylation of the primary hydroxy group, N-acylation of the secondary amino group, and COOEt hydrolysis of the corresponding racemic compounds with simple molecular structure, which have been reported during the last decade. A brief introduction describes the importance and synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline and tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives, and it formulates the objectives of this compilation. The strategies are presented in chronological order, classified according to function of the reaction type, as kinetic and dynamic kinetic resolutions, in the main text. These reactions result in the desired products with excellent ee values. The pharmacological importance of the products together with their synthesis is given in the main text. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the hydrochloride salts as racemates of the starting amino carboxylic esters furnished the desired enantiomeric amino carboxylic acids quantitatively. The enzymatic reactions, performed in tBuOMe or H2O as usable solvents, and the transformations carried out in a continuous-flow system, indicate clear advantages, including atom economy, reproducibility, safer solvents, short reaction time, rapid heating and compression vs. shaker reactions. These features are highlighted in the main text.

Abstract
An efficient, secondary amine-catalyzed cascade annulation of 2-O/N-propargylarylaldehydes with 2,6-dialkylphenols was established to access biologically relevant functionalized 2H-chromenes and 1,2-dihydroquinolines tethered with a synthetically useful p-quinone methide scaffold in high yields under microwave irradiation and conventional heating conditions. The microwave-assisted strategy was convenient, clean, rapid, and high yielding in which the reactions were completed in just 15 min, and the yields obtained were up to 95%. This highly atom-economical domino process constructed two new C-C double bonds and a six-membered O/N-heterocyclic ring in a single synthetic operation. Its mechanism process was rationalized as involving sequential iminium ion formation, nucleophilic addition, and intramolecular annulation steps. Furthermore, the synthesized 2H-chromene derivatives were transformed into valuable indeno[2,1-c]chromenes, 5H-indeno[2,1-c]quinolines, and oxireno[2,3-c]chromene via a palladium-catalyzed double C-H bond activation process and epoxidation, respectively.

Abstract
By a hydroamination-induced tandem annulation process, we herein report a new three-component reaction for room temperature construction of carbo-bridged polyheterocycles with exclusive diastereoselectivity, which features readily available feedstocks, catalyst-free conditions, good substrate and functionality compatibility, no need for transition metal catalysts, and high step and atom efficiency. The products are formed via initial formation of 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one nucleophiles from but-2-ynedioates and hydrazine followed by 2,4-difunctionalization of N-heteroarenium salts. Given that the obtained products possess structurally important tetrahydroquinoline and pyranopyrazole motifs, the developed chemistry is anticipated to be further applied to the discovery of functional molecules including biomedical ones.

Abstract
Hydrogenated nitrogen heterocyclic compounds play a critical role in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and agrochemical industries. Recent studies on partial hydrogenation of nitrogen heterocyclic compounds have focused on costly and toxic precious metal catalysts. As an important class of main-group catalysts, frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have been widely applied in catalytic hydrogenation reactions. In principle, the combination of FLPs and metal-organic framework (MOF) is anticipated to efficiently enhance the recyclability performance of FLPs; however, the previously studied MOF-FLPs showed low reactivity in the hydrogenation of N-heterocycles compounds. Herein, we offer a novel P/B type MOF-FLP catalyst that was achieved via a solvent-assisted linker incorporation approach to boost catalytic hydrogenation reactions. Using hydrogen gas under moderate pressure, the proposed P/B type MOF-FLP can serve as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for selective hydrogenation of quinoline and indole to tetrahydroquinoline and indoline-type drug compounds in high yield and excellent recyclability.

Abstract
Highly enantiomerically enriched dihydrohydroquinolines were prepared in two steps from quinoline. Addition of aryllithiums to quinoline with tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protection gave N-Boc-2-aryl-1,2-dihydroquinolines. These were treated with n-butyllithium and electrophilic trapping occurred exclusively at C-4 of the dihydroquinoline, a result supported by DFT studies. Variable temperature NMR spectroscopy gave kinetic data for the barrier to rotation of the carbonyl group (ΔG≠ ≈49 kJ mol-1 , 195 K). Lithiation using the diamine sparteine allowed kinetic resolutions with high enantioselectivities (enantiomer ratio up to 99 : 1). The enantioenriched 1,2-dihydroquinolines could be converted to 1,4-dihydroquinolines with retention of stereochemistry. Further functionalisation led to trisubstituted products. Reduction provided enantioenriched tetrahydroquinolines, whereas acid-promoted removal of Boc led to quinolines, and this was applied to a synthesis of the antimalarial compound M5717.

Abstract
New synthetic methods to construct 2,2-disubstituted tetrahydroquinoline derivatives are of significant value in pharmaceutical chemistry. Herein, a Rh(II)/Pd(0) dual-catalyzed diazo α-aminoallylation reaction has been developed between allylpalladium(II) and ammonium ylides derived from the Rh2(OAc)4-mediated intramolecular N-H bond insertion reaction of diazo compounds, affording various 2,2-disubstituted tetrahydroquinoline derivatives in good yields up to 93% with high chemoselectivities under mild reaction conditions. A substrate scope investigation reveals broad ester substituent tolerance, and control experiments provide the basis for a proposed reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Herein, we disclose a novel reorganization/cycloaddition between two imine units catalyzed by In(OTf)3 Lewis acid that differs from the well-known [4 + 2] cycloaddition version via the Povarov reaction. By means of this unprecedented imine chemistry, a collection of synthetically useful dihydroacridines has been synthesized. Notably, the obtained products give rise to a series of structurally novel and fine-tuneable acridinium photocatalysts, offering a heuristic paradigm for synthesis and efficiently facilitating several encouraging dihydrogen coupling reactions.

Abstract
A highly selective and divergent synthesis which enabled access to various complex compounds is highly attractive in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Herein, we developed an effective method for divergent synthesis of highly substituted tetrahydroquinolines via Lewis base catalyzed switchable annulations of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates with activated olefins. The reaction displayed switchable [4 + 2] or [3 + 2] annulations via catalyst or substrate control, providing a diverse range of architectures which contained highly substituted tetrahydroquinolines or cyclopentenes with three contiguous stereocenters bearing a quaternary carbon center in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivities and regioselectivities. Furthermore, synthetic utility of this strategy was further highlighted by gram-scale experiments and simple transformations of the products.

Abstract
Utilization of main-group metals as alternatives to transition metals in homogeneous catalysis has become a hot research area in recent years. However, their application in catalytic hydrogenation is less common due to the difficulty in heterolytic cleavage of the H-H bond. Employing aromatization/de-aromatization metal-ligand cooperation (MLC) highly enhances the H2 activation process, offering an efficient approach for the hydrogenation of unsaturated molecules catalyzed by main-group metals. Herein, we report a series of new magnesium pincer complexes prepared using PNNH-type pincer ligands. The complexes were characterized by NMR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Reversible activation of H2 and N-H bonds by MLC employing these pincer complexes was developed. Using the new magnesium complexes, homogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation of aldimines and ketimines was achieved, affording secondary amines in excellent yields. Control experiments and DFT studies reveal that a pathway involving MLC is favorable for the hydrogenation reactions. Moreover, the efficient catalysis was extended to the selective hydrogenation of quinolines and other N-heteroarenes, presenting the first example of hydrogenation of N-heteroarenes homogeneously catalyzed by early main-group metal complexes. This study provides a new strategy for hydrogenation of C═N bonds catalyzed by magnesium compounds and enriches the research of main-group metal catalysis.

Abstract
In the chalcogen series, tellurium species exhibit the strongest chalcogen bonding (ChB) interaction with electron-rich atom. This property explains the renewed interested toward tellurium-based derivatives and their use in different applications, such as organocatalysis. In this context, the catalytic activity of telluronium salts in the Povarov reaction is presented herein. Different dienophiles, as well as imines of variable electronic nature, efficiently react in the presence of catalytic amount of either diarylmethyltelluronium or triaryltelluronium salts. Both catalysts could also readily perform the three-component Povarov reaction starting from aldehyde, aniline and dihydrofuran. The reactivity of telluroniums towards imines and aldehydes was confirmed in the solid state by the ability of Te atom to interact through ChB with the oxygen carbonyl of acetone, and in solution with significant shift variations of the imine proton and of the tellurium atom in 1 H and 125 Te NMR spectroscopy. For the most active telluronium catalysts bearing CF3 groups, association constants (K) with N-phenyl phenylmethanimine in the range 22-38 M-1 were measured in dichloromethane.

Abstract
Transition-metal-free, practical one-pot synthesis of C4-aryl-substituted tetrahydroquinolines from simple anilines and readily accessible propargylic chlorides has been developed. Activation of the C-Cl bond by 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol turned out to be the key interaction, which allowed C-N bond formation under an acidic medium. Propargylated aniline is formed as an intermediate via propargylation, and subsequential cyclization and reduction gave 4-arylated tetrahydroquinolines. To demonstrate the synthetic utility, total syntheses of aflaquinolone F and I have been accomplished.

Abstract
A simple method for the synthesis of water-soluble potassium 3-[(imidazotriazin-3-yl)thio]-2-oxoquinoline-4-carboxylates was developed based on a new reversible transformation of oxindolylidene derivatives of imidazothiazolotriazine that results from their treatment with potassium hydroxide. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against 58 cell lines and compared with oxindolylidene derivatives of imidazothiazolotriazine. Quinoline derivatives 3 demonstrated high activity with average GI50 values of <10 μM which are comparable or higher than those of the oxindolylidene imidazothiazolotriazines. Compound 3a, with a pent-3-yl substituent at the nitrogen atom of the quinoline fragment, possessed the highest antiproliferative activity with an average GI50 value of 1.71 μM. The GI50 values of compound 3a against 52 of the 58 cell lines were <1 μM; against the remaining 6 of the 58 cell lines, they were in the range 1.21-39.2 μM.

Abstract
The development of a sustainable and simple catalytic system for N-formylation of N-heterocycles with methanol by direct coupling remains a challenge, owing to many competing side reactions, given the sensitivity of N-heterocycles to many catalytic oxidation or dehydrogenation systems. This work concerns the development of an in situ-generated CuI catalytic system for oxidative N-formylation of N-heterocycles with methanol that is based on the case study of a more typical 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline as substrate. Aside from N-heterocycles, some acyclic amines are also transformed into the corresponding N-formamides in moderate yields. Furthermore, a probable reaction mechanism and reaction pathway are proposed and extension of work based on some findings leads to a demonstration that the formed ⋅O2 - and ⋅OOH radicals in the catalytic system is related to the formation of undesired tar-like products.

Abstract
Organoboron and organosilicon compounds are used not only as synthetic building blocks but also as functional materials and pharmaceuticals, and compounds with multiple boryl and silyl groups are beginning to be used for these purposes. Especially in drug discovery, methodology providing easy stereoselective access to aliphatic nitrogen heterocycles bearing multiple boryl or silyl groups from readily available aromatic nitrogen heterocycles would be attractive. However, such transformations remain challenging, and available reactions have been mostly limited to dearomative hydroboration or hydrosilylation reactions. Here, we report the dearomative triple elementalization (carbo-sila-boration) of quinolines via the addition of organolithium followed by photo-boosted silaboration, affording the desired products with complete chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. The reaction proceeds via the formation of silyl radicals instead of silyl anions. We also present preliminary studies to illustrate the potential of silaboration products as synthetic platforms.

Abstract
One of the fundamental aims in catalysis research is to understand what makes a certain scaffold perform better as a catalyst than another. For instance, in nature enzymes act as versatile catalysts, providing a starting point for researchers to understand how to achieve superior performance by positioning the substrate close to the catalyst using non-covalent interactions. However, translating this information to a non-biological catalyst is a challenging task. Here, we report a simple and scalable electrostatically tuned phenol (ETP) as an organocatalyst for transfer hydrogenation of N-arenes using the Hantzsch ester as a hydride source. The biomimetic catalyst (1-5 mol%) displays potential catalytic activity to prepare diverse tetrahydroquinoline derivatives with good to excellent conversion under ambient reaction conditions. Kinetic studies reveal that the ETP is 130-fold faster than the uncharged counterpart, towards completion of the reaction. Control experiments and NMR spectroscopic investigations elucidate the role of the charged environment in the catalytic transformation.

Abstract
Condensation of 2-vinylanilines and conjugated aldehydes followed by an efficient light-mediated cyclisation selectively yields either substituted tetrahydroquinolines with typically high dr, or in the presence of an iridium photocatalyst the synthesis of quinoline derivatives is demonstrated. These atom economical processes require mild conditions, with the substrate scope demonstrating excellent site selectivity and functional group tolerance, including azaarene-bearing substrates. A thorough experimental mechanistic investigation explores multiple pathways and the key role that imine and iminium intermediates play in the absorption of visible light to generate reactive excited states. The synthetic utility of the reactions is demonstrated on gram scale quantities in both batch and flow, alongside further manipulation of the medicinally relevant products.

Abstract
Via a copper-catalyzed three-component annulation reaction, we herein report a new method for the direct and syn-selective construction of cyclic ether-fused tetrahydroquinolines from readily available secondary anilines, saturated five or six-membered cyclic ethers, and paraformaldehyde. The synthesis features operational simplicity, excellent step and atom efficiency, good functionality and substrate compatibility. In comparison with the reported synthetic protocols capable of synthesizing N-alkyl fused tetrahydroquinolines, this newly developed chemistry allows access to both N-alkyl and N-aryl products. The current work complements the preparation of fused tetrahydroquinolines.

Abstract
A multicomponent annulation that proceeds by imine directed Cp*RhIII -catalyzed N-H functionalization is disclosed. The transformation affords piperazinones displaying a range of functionality and is the first example of transition metal-catalyzed multicomponent N-H functionalization. A broad range of readily available α-amino amides, including those derived from glycine, α-substituted, and α,α-disubstituted amino acids, were effective inputs and enabled the incorporation of a variety of amino acid side chains with minimal racemization. Branched and unbranched alkyl aldehydes and various stabilized diazo compounds were also efficient reactants. The piperazinone products were further modified through efficient transformations. Mechanistic studies, including X-ray crystallographic characterization of a catalytically competent five-membered rhodacycle with imine and amide nitrogen chelation, provide support for the proposed mechanism.

Abstract
Presented herein is a condition-controlled selective synthesis of pyrazolonyl spirodihydroquinolines or pyrazolonyl spiroindolines through formal [5 + 1] or [4 + 1] spiroannulation of 2-alkenylanilines with diazopyrazolones. Mechanistically, the formation of the title products involves initial generation of a pyrazolonyl spiro-fused seven-membered ruthenacycle species serving as a key intermediate through Ru(II)-catalyzed C-H/N-H bonds metalation, carbene formation, and its migratory insertion. When the reaction is carried out under air, the key intermediate undergoes reductive elimination to afford spirodihydroquinoline. When the reaction is run under argon, the key intermediate undergoes protonation and intramolecular nucleophilic addition to furnish spiroindoline. This work provides an atom-economical protocol for the effective functionalization of alkenyl C(sp2)-H bond, allowing rapid and selective assembly of valuable spiroscaffolds with a broad range of substrates.
