Abstract
Cascade reactions are often 'employed' by nature to construct structurally diverse nitrogen-containing heterocycles in a highly stereoselective fashion, i.e., secondary metabolites important for pharmacy. Nitrogen-containing heterocycles of three- and four-membered rings, as standalone and bicyclic compounds, inhibit different enzymes and are pharmacophores of approved drugs or drug candidates considered in many therapies, e.g. anticancer, antibacterial or antiviral. Domino transformations are in most cases in line with modern green chemistry concepts due to atom economy, one-pot procedures often without use the protective groups, time-saving and at markedly lower costs than multistep transformations. The tandem approaches can help to obtain novel N-heterocyclic scaffolds, functionalized according to structural requirements of the target in cells, taking into account the nature of functional group and stereochemistry. On the other hand cascade strategies allow to modify small N-heterocyclic rings in a systematic way, which is beneficial for structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses. This review is focused on the biological relevance of the N-heterocyclic scaffolds with smaller 3- and 4-membered rings among approved drugs and leading structures of drug candidates. The cascade synthetic strategies offering N-heterocyclic scaffolds, at relatively good yields and high stereoselectivity, are discussed here. The review covers mainly years from 2015 to 2021.

Abstract
The enantio- and chemoselective iridium-catalyzed N-allylation of oximes is described for the first time. Intramolecular kinetic resolution provides access to cyclic nitrones and enantioenriched aliphatic allylic alcohols. Salient features of this transformation are its ability to employ E/Z-isomeric mixtures of oxime starting materials convergently and high functional group tolerance. The implementation of N-allylation/1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction sequences furnishes tricyclic isoxazolidines in highly enantio- and diastereoselective fashion. The synthetic utility of the approach is demonstrated by the efficient, formal synthesis of the marine natural product (+)-halichlorine.

Abstract
Intramolecular Kinugasa reactions on in situ generated carbohydrate-derived alkynylnitrones are described. The effects of the length of chains, their mutual configuration, influence of experimental conditions on product distribution and feasibility of the β-lactam ring construction were studied. Intramolecular reactions proceed with high stereoselectivity to provide in each case one product only. The cycloadducts from tartaric acid were converted into the corresponding non-racemic 4-acetoxy azetidinones in good yields.

Abstract
An approach to β-lactams via a reaction between chiral copper acetylides and acyclic nitrones is reported. Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) in combination with NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the absolute configuration of all components of complex mixtures of azetidinones. Stereochemical preferences observed in the studied reactions are discussed and a model of a new reaction pathway supported by DFT conformational analysis is proposed. Subsequent transformations of the synthesized Kinugasa adducts followed by epimerization at the C-3 carbon atom led to trans-substituted azetidinones with improved stereoselectivity, mimicking a variety of important β-lactam structures. On the other hand, the oxidation of the furyl residue to the carboxylic group followed by oxidative decarboxylation with lead tetraacetate afforded the more thermodynamically stable trans-substituted 4-acetoxy azetidinone. The latter strategy is particularly attractive for the diastereomeric mixture in which isomers with the same configuration at the C-3 carbon atom dominate.

Abstract
Due to the emerging resistance against classical β-lactam-based antibiotics, a growing number of bacterial infections has become harder to treat. This alarming tendency necessitates continued research on novel antibacterial agents. Many classes of β-lactam antibiotics are characterized by the presence of the 3-aminoazetidin-2-one core, which resembles the natural substrate of the target penicillin-binding proteins. In that respect, this Review summarizes the different synthetic pathways toward this key structure for the development of new antibacterial agents. The most extensively applied methods for 3-amino-β-lactam ring formation are discussed, in addition to a few less common strategies. Moreover, approaches to introduce the 3-amino substituent after ring formation are also covered.
