Abstract
In this Letter, we demonstrate the usefulness of hydrazone activation for the synthesis of biologically relevant tetrahydroindolizines. A pyrrol-derived hydrazone bearing a Michael acceptor moiety in the N-alkyl side chain has been designed with the aim of participating in the aminocatalytic cascade reaction leading to the annulation of the new six-membered heterocyclic scaffold. The application of (S)-(-)-α,α-diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol trimethylsilyl ether as the aminocatalyst allows for the iminium ion-enamine-mediated cascade to proceed in a fully stereoselective manner.

Abstract
Sortase A (SrtA) is a membrane-associated cysteine transpeptidase required for bacterial virulence regulation and anchors surface proteins to cell wall, thereby assisting biofilm formation. SrtA is targeted in antivirulence treatments against Gram-positive bacterial infections. However, the development of potent small-molecule SrtA inhibitors is constrained owing to the limited understanding of the mode of action of inhibitors in the SrtA binding pocket. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel class of covalent SrtA inhibitors based on the binding mode detailed in the X-ray crystal structure of the ML346/Streptococcus pyogenes SrtA complex. ML346 analog Y40 exhibited 2-fold increased inhibitory activity on Staphylococcus aureus SrtA and showed superior inhibitory effects on biofilm formation in vitro. Y40 protected Galleria mellonella larvae fromS. aureusinfections in vivo while minimally attenuating staphylococcal growth in vitro. Our study indicates that the covalent SrtA inhibitor Y40 is an antivirulence agent that is effective againstS. aureusinfections.

Abstract
Efficient tBuOK-mediated sequential condensation and double desulfonylative cyclopropanation of readily accessible 1,2-bis(sulfonylmethyl)arenes with 3-arylacroleins is described. This high-yielding, single-step strategy provides a variety of polysubstituted biscyclopropane-fused tetralins with six contiguous stereogenic centers via the construction of five carbon-carbon single bonds. A plausible mechanism is proposed and discussed. In the overall reaction process, water and sulfinic acid salts were generated as the byproducts.

Abstract
A [2+2+2] annulation reaction between cyclohexanone, β-nitrostyrene and 2-arylidene-1,3-indanedione afforded multisubstituted spiro trans-decalinol derivatives in high chemical yields (up to 75%) and excellent diastereoselectivity (up to >20 : 1) at room temperature. This one-pot three-component system follows a triple cascade sequence via the Michael/nitro-Michael/Aldol process, resulting in the formation of three C-C bonds, five contiguous stereocenters as well as a spiro quaternary carbon center.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized γ-phenyl-β,γ-unsaturated ketones in situ from acetophenones and phenylacetylenes under Trofimov's conditions using KOtBu in a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent. The obtained ketones reacted with α,β-unsaturated carbonyls in a one-pot manner, forming tri- or diarylated benzophenones. The present reaction proceeded efficiently by one-pot manipulation with a suitable carboxylic acid.

Abstract
We have developed and investigated a catalytic desymmetrization reaction strategy that affords functionalized decalin derivatives with high enantioselectivities from C2-symmetric derivatives through aldol-aldol annulation. We identified the structural moieties of the catalyst necessary for the formation of the decalin derivative with high enantioselectivity. We elucidated the mechanisms of the catalyzed reactions: the first aldol reaction step was reversible, and the second aldol step was rate-limiting and stereochemistry-determining and was enantioselective. Using theoretical calculations guided by the experimental results, we identified the interactions between the catalyst and the transition state that led to the major enantiomer. The information obtained in this study will be useful for the development of catalysts and chemical transformations.

Abstract
The Wieland–Miescher ketone, Hajos–Parrish–Eder–Sauer–Wiechert ketone, and their analogues are bicyclic diketones essential as building blocks for the synthesis of several natural and bioactive molecules. For this reason, since 1971, when Hajos and Parrish and Eder, Sauer, and Wiechert reported the stereoselective synthesis of these compounds promoted by L-proline, numerous methodologies and organocatalysts have been studied over the years with the aim of identifying increasingly efficient asymmetrical syntheses of these bicyclic ketones. This review will outline the methodological and stereochemical features of the organocatalytic stereoselective synthesis of these bicyclic scaffolds based on the different organocatalysts employed from 1971 until today. Particular emphasis will be given to the structural features of the catalysts and to the reaction conditions.
