Abstract
Advanced analogs of piperidine and smaller homologues of tropane─3-substituted 6-azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes─were synthesized on a large scale using readily available bulk reagents. The key step of the approach involved the double alkylation reaction of malonate with cis-2,4-bis(mesyloxymethyl)azetidine-1-carboxylate, in turn easily prepared on up to 1 kg scale. After hydrolysis, N-Boc-6-azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptane-3,3-dicarboxylic acid was obtained (up to 400 g in a single run), which was used as a common intermediate for the preparation of all the title building blocks. In particular, Pb(OAc)4-mediated oxidative decarboxylation of this intermediate gave 2,6-methanopiperidone derivative (up to 400 g scale), while monodecarboxylation gave N-Boc-6-azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptane-3-carboxylic acids as an easily separatable mixture of cis and trans diastereomers (up to 100 g scale). Further functional group transformations gave diastereopure cis- and trans-N-Boc-monoprotected diamines and amino alcohols. Molecular structure analysis using exit vector parameters (EVP) revealed that cis isomers of 3-substituted 6-azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes are three-dimensional analogs of common 1,4-disubstituted piperidine chair conformer, whereas trans isomers can be considered as unusual "boat" piperidines.

Abstract
Electrophilic double bond functionalization - intramolecular enolate alkylation sequence was used to obtain a series of bridged and fused bicyclo[m.n.k]alkane derivatives (i. e., bicyclo[4.1.1]octanes, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes, bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes, bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes, and bicyclo[4.2.0]heptanes). The scope and limitations of the method were established, and applicability to the multigram synthesis of target bicyclic compounds was illustrated. Using the developed protocols, over 50 mono- and bifunctional building blocks relevant to medicinal chemistry were prepared. The synthesized compounds are promising isosteres of benzene and cycloalkane rings, which is confirmed by their physicochemical and structural characterization (pKa , LogP, and exit vector parameters (EVP)). "Rules of thumb" for the upcoming isosteric replacement studies were proposed.

Abstract
Applications of piperazine and homopiperazine in drug design are well-established, and these heterocycles have found use as both scaffolding and terminal elements and also as a means of introducing a water-solubilizing element into a molecule. In the accompanying review (10.1021/acs.jafc.2c00726), we summarized applications of piperazine and homopiperazine and their fused ring homologues in bioactive compound design along with illustrations of the use of 4-substituted piperidines and a sulfoximine-based mimetic. In this review, we discuss applications of pyrrolidine- and fused-pyrrolidine-based mimetics of piperazine and homopiperazine and illustrate derivatives of azetidine that include stretched and spirocyclic motifs, along with applications of a series of diaminocycloalkanes.

Abstract
Azetidines are almost unexplored among nitrogen-containing saturated heterocycles due to difficulties associated with their synthesis. However, over the past few years, attempts have been made by scientists to advance their synthetic feasibility. Compounds with the azetidine moiety display an important and diverse range of pharmacological activities, such as anticancer, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antischizophrenic, antimalarial, antiobesity, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antiviral, antioxidant, analgesic, and dopamine antagonist activities, and are also useful for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and so forth. Owing to its satisfactory stability, molecular rigidity, and chemical and biological properties, azetidine has emerged as a valuable scaffold and it has drawn the attention of medicinal researchers. The present review sheds light on the traditional method of synthesis of azetidine and advancements in synthetic methodology over the past few years, along with its application with various examples, and its biological significance.

Abstract
A broad range of acyclic primary and secondary 2,4,6‐triisopropylbenzoate (TIB) esters have been used in lithiation‐borylation reactions, but cyclic TIB esters have not. We have studied the use of cyclic TIB esters in lithiation‐borylation reactions and looked at the effect of ring size (3‐ → 6‐membered rings) on the three key steps of the lithiation‐borylation protocol: deprotonation, borylation and 1,2‐metalate rearrangement. Although all rings sizes could be deprotonated, the cyclohexyl case was impractically slow, and the cyclopentyl example underwent α‐elimination faster than deprotonation at −78 °C and so could not be used. Both cyclobutyl and cyclopropyl cases underwent rapid borylation, but only the cyclobutyl substrate underwent 1,2‐metalate rearrangement. Thus, the cyclobutyl TIB ester occupies a “Goldilocks zone,” being small enough for deprotonation and large enough to enable 1,2‐migration. The generality of the reaction was explored with a broad range of boronic esters.

Abstract
![]()
A general,
scalable two-step regio- and diastereoselective method
has been described for the synthesis of versatile alkaloid-type azetidines
from simple building blocks with excellent overall yields. In the
kinetically controlled reaction, only the formation of the strained
four-membered ring can be achieved instead of the thermodynamically
favorable five-membered rings under appropriate conditions. Remarkable
functional group tolerance has also been demonstrated. In this paper,
we give a new scope of Baldwin’s rules by density functional
theory (DFT) calculations with an explicit solvent model, confirming
the proposed reaction mechanisms and the role of kinetic controls
in the stereochemical outcome of the reported transition-metal-free
carbon–carbon bond formation reactions.

Abstract
An approach to 1,3-disubstitued bicyclo[2.1.0]pentane (housane) derivatives was developed. The method relied on lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide-mediated intramolecular cyclization of trisubstitued cyclopentane carboxylates bearing a leaving group (at the C-4 position) and an additional substituent (at the C-3 atom), in turn synthesized from cyclopent-3-ene carboxylate. The synthetic sequence allowed for the preparation of both cis- and trans-1,3-disubstituted housane-1-carboxylic acids in diastereoselective manner on up to 80 g scale. In particular, bicyclic γ-amino acids-γ-aminobutyric acid analogues-were synthesized. It was shown that the bicyclo[2.1.0]pentane did not significantly affect pKa of the corresponding derivatives and slightly increased their hydrophilicity (by 0.07-0.25 Log P units) as compared to cyclopentane. X-ray diffraction studies showed that cis- and trans-1,3-disubstituted housanes can be considered as flattened analogues of the corresponding cyclopentane derivatives with fixed envelope conformation of the five-membered ring.

Abstract
An approach to di- and trihetera[3.3.n]propellanes (n = 2-4 ), advanced morpholine and piperazine analogues, is developed. The key step of the reaction sequence included a [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of unsaturated vicinal dicarboxylic acid derivatives and in situ generated azomethine ylide resulting in the formation of the pyrrolidine ring. One more heteroaliphatic ring (i.e., pyrrolidine or tetrahydrofuran) was annelated by nucleophilic cyclization of the appropriate 1,4-dielectrophilic intermediates. There were 11 examples of the title products obtained in 3-5 steps on a multigram scale with 10-72% overall yields. Additionally, molecular structures of homologous dihetera[3.3.n]propellanes, analogues of morpholine, were obtained from X-ray diffraction studies and analyzed using exit vector plots (EVPs). It was shown that the scaffolds obtained are somewhat larger as compared to the parent morpholine and bicyclic 3-oxa-7-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane. Moreover, despite very similar chemical structures, they provide a very distinct spatial position of heteroatoms, which is clearly seen from the conformation adopted by a formal eight-membered ring including both N and O atoms (i.e., crown, boat-chair, twist chair-chair, and boat-boat for the oxaza[3.3.2]-, -[3.3.3]-, -[4.3.3]propellanes, and 3-oxa-7-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane, respectively).

Abstract
The TiIV -mediated synthesis of spirocyclic NH-azetidines from oxime ethers using either an alkyl Grignard reagent or terminal olefin ligand exchange coupling partner is described. Through a proposed Kulinkovich-type mechanism, a titanacyclopropane intermediate forms and serves as a 1,2-aliphatic dianion equivalent, inserting into the 1,2-dielectrophilc oxime ether to ultimately give rise to the desired N-heterocyclic four-membered ring. This transformation proceeds in moderate yield to furnish previously unreported and structurally diverse NH-azetidines in a single step.

Abstract
The present study reports regio- and highly diastereoselective preparative methods for the synthesis of versatile alkaloid-type compounds from oxiranylmethyl tetrahydroisoquinolines. 2,5-Methanobenzo[ c]azepines or azetidine-fused heterocycles were synthesized in tandem reactions depending on the absence or presence of a BF3 co-reagent. A high functional group tolerance has also been demonstrated. DFT calculations with an explicit solvent model confirmed the proposed reaction mechanisms and the role of kinetic controls on the stereochemical outcome of the reported new methods.

ACS OMEGA 2019; 4:7498-7515.

Abstract
Synthetic approaches toward multigram preparation of spirocyclic α,α-disubstituted pyrrolidines from readily available starting materials are discussed. It was shown that although a number of synthetic methodologies have been known to date, many of the title compounds remain hardly accessible. The most appropriate literature method (which relied on reaction of imines and allyl magnesium halide, followed by bromocyclization) was identified and optimized. It was found that the method is most fruitful for simple non-functionalized substrates. Two novel approaches based on the Sakurai or Petasis reactions of cyclic ketones, followed by hydroboration-oxidation at the allyl moiety thus introduced, were elaborated. The latter method had the largest scope and was beneficial for the substrates containing organosulfur or protected amino functions. For the synthesis of 4-azaspiro[2.4]heptane, an alternative synthetic scheme commencing from tert-butyl cyclopropanecarboxylate (instead of the corresponding ketone) was developed. It was shown that the whole set of the methodologies developed can be used for the synthesis of various spirocyclic α,α-disubstituted pyrrolidines-advanced building blocks of potential importance to medicinal and agrochemistry-at up to a 100 g scale.
