Abstract
Asymmetric catalytic processes promoted by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) hold great potential for the sustainable preparation of chiral molecules. However, catalyzing the reactions by manipulating the reactive intermediates is challenging. We report herein that the known NHC-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation reaction between ketimine and enal can also be turned into a [2 + 3] annulation reaction for the highly enantioselective direct synthesis of trifluoroethyl 3,2'-spirooxindole γ-lactams (4) through timely catalysis of the intermediates. DFT calculations revealed that this transformation included the key step of the nucleophilic attack of the Breslow intermediate M2 derived from NHC and enal (2) to the unattacked ketimine (1). Our study demonstrates that it is possible to tune the desired selectivities through the dynamic catalysts of the reactive intermediates.

Abstract
Polycyclic compounds bearing a complex heterocyclic core such as an aromatic heterocycle "fused" with one or more functionalized rings, are widespread leading molecules in the domain of synthetic organic chemistry and pharmaceuticals. Although many synthetic methodologies have been devised to access achiral, fused heteroaromatic scaffolds, or related chiral variants adorned with out-of-cycle stereogenic elements, equally efficient strategies to afford chiral heterocycles featuring in-cycle stereocenters, exist to a lesser extent and presently represent a growing field of investigation. The mild, organocatalytic generation of elusive ortho-quinodimethane intermediates (oQDMs), derived from suitable heteroaromatic carbonyl- or carbonyl-like pronucleophiles has recently proved successful in the synthesis of such peculiar chiral architectures via stereoselective [4+2] cycloadditions. This review provides an overview of the most important advances attained in this field over the last decade.

Abstract
A novel method for the enantioselective synthesis of spiro N,N-heterocyclic oxindoles has been developed, employing asymmetric [4 + 2]-cycloadditions of 2-aminophenyl enones with isatin-derived ketimines. This method employs an organocatalytic approach, utilizing a bifunctional squaramide-based catalyst. It enables the precise synthesis of chiral spirooxindole-tetrahydroquinazolines with intricate structures, featuring chiral quaternary centers. This process achieves remarkable results, including high yields and exceptional levels of enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity (up to 96% yield, 95% ee, and >20:1 dr).

Abstract
Direct arylation of the benzylic C(sp3)-H bond is one of the most straightforward strategies for the construction of multi-aryl methanes, owing to the extraordinary step and atom economy. In this paper, we developed the first metal-free arylation of the C(sp3)-H bond in 3-methylindoles, thereby providing rapid access to a range of diaryl- and triarylmethanes with two indole rings. Mechanistically, 3-indole imine methide serves as the key intermediate. Water plays a crucial role in this process, likely serving as a proton shuttle to facilitate the key 1,3-proton transfer step in this reaction and, thus, enhance the reaction efficiency.

Abstract
Catalysis by trivalent nucleophilic organophosphines has emerged as an essential tool in organic synthesis. Several new organic transformations promoted by phosphines substantiate and complement the existing synthetic chemistry tools. Mere design of the substrate and reagent combinations has introduced new modes of reactivity patterns, which are otherwise difficult to achieve. These design considerations have led to the rapid build-up of complex molecular entities and laid a solid foundation to synthesise bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. This article presents an overview of some of the conceptual advances, including our contributions to nucleophilic organophosphine chemistry. The scope, limitations, mechanistic insights, and applications of these metal-free transformations are discussed elaborately.

Abstract
Over the recent decades, due to the special electronic characteristics and diverse reactivities, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) has received significant interest in organocatalyzed reactions. The formation of Breslow intermediates by NHC can convert into acyl anion equivalent, enolates, homoenolate, acyl azolium, and vinyl enolate etc., and the cycloaddition reactions of these species has attracted lots of attention. In this review, we focus on the summry of the development of NHC-activation of carbonyl carbon (or imine carbon) in situ, α-, β-, γ-, and beyond, and the cycloaddition reaction of these species.

Abstract
Nitrogen-bearing rings are common features in the molecular structures of modern drugs, with chiral δ-lactams being an important subclass due to their known pharmacological properties. Catalytic dearomatization of preactivated pyridinium ion derivatives emerged as a powerful method for the rapid construction of chiral N-heterocycles. However, direct catalytic dearomatization of simple pyridine derivatives are scarce and methodologies yielding chiral δ-lactams are yet to be developed. Herein, we describe an enantioselective C4-dearomatization of methoxypyridine derivatives for the preparation of functionalised enantioenriched δ-lactams using chiral copper catalysis. Experimental 13 C kinetic isotope effects and density functional theory calculations shed light on the reaction mechanism and the origin of enantioselectivity.

Abstract
A class of o-sulfonylaminostyryl isoxazole synthons were designed and demonstrated to be useful building blocks in asymmetric cascade aza-Michael/Michael reaction with 3-olefinic oxindoles. This squaramide-catalysed cascade reaction afforded structurally complex isoxazole-containing spirooxindole tetrahydroquinolines bearing three contiguous stereocenters in good to excellent yields (up to 99%) with high diastereoselectivities (up to >20 : 1 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 88% ee). Moreover, the gram-scale synthesis and synthetic transformations were also demonstrated.

Abstract
An expeditious protocol for the assembly of chiral 4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-ones from α-chloro hydrazones and α-chloro aliphatic aldehydes via N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis is outlined. These in situ-generated 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes undergo asymmetric [4+2] annulation with NHC-bound enolates to afford the desired products bearing a stereogenic center at the C4 position. The notable features of this approach include good to excellent enantioselectivities, high functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, simple operating procedures, and compatibility with gram-scale synthesis.

Abstract
Functionalized spiro[carbazole-3,5'-pyrimidines] and spiro[carbazole-3,1'-cyclohexanes] were efficiently synthesized in satisfactory yields with high diastereoselectivity by CuSO4 catalyzed multicomponent reaction of indole-2-acetate, aromatic aldehyde and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid or dimedone. The reaction was finished with sequential Diels-Alder reaction of both in situ generated indole-2,3-quinodimethane and a dienophile. Additionally, the initially formed spiro[carbazole-3,5'-pyrimidines] were converted to dehydrogenated spiro[carbazole-3,5'-pyrimidines] by DDQ oxidation. The initially formed spiro[carbazole-3,1'-cyclohexanes] were converted to δ-valerolactone-substituted carbazoles by a DDQ promoted Baeyer-Villiger oxidation process.

Abstract
In the presence of copper sulfate, the three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, ethylindole-3-acetate and 4-arylidene-5-methyl-2-phenylpyrazol-3-ones, in refluxing toluene afforded spiro[carbazole-3,4'-pyrazoles] in good yields with high diastereoselectivity. More importantly, the similar CuSO4 promoted the four-component reaction of two molecular aromatic aldehydes with ethylindole-3-acetate and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-pyrazol-3-one resulted in 2,4-diarylspiro[carbazole-3,4'-pyrazoles] in satisfactory yields. Additionally, CuSO4 promoted the four-component reaction of two molecular aromatic aldehydes, ethylindole-3-acetate and 2-phenylthiazol-4-one, in refluxing toluene gave 2,4-diarylspiro[carbazole-3,4'-thiazoles] with diastereomeric ratios in the range of 3:1 to 20:1.

Abstract
We here described a direct catalytic asymmetric functionalization of 2-methylindoles using organocatalysis. An efficient asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction with respect to 2-methyl-3-nitroindoles and racemic Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonate has been achieved by using a chiral biscinchona alkaloid catalyst, which provided the functionalized indole derivatives in good yields and enantioselectivities.

Abstract
The venerable Hauser–Kraus annulation is an effective and convergent method for generating oxygenated polycyclic aromatic compounds. Despite its application in complex molecule synthesis, the harsh and strongly basic conditions can limit its utility in more functionalized molecular settings. We have developed the first catalytic Hauser–Kraus annulation based on N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis that proceeds under milder conditions. We demonstrate the scope of the transformation in the presence of several functional groups. We also propose a concerted mechanism for the annulation that proceeds through a non-canonical Breslow intermediate. The venerable Hauser–Kraus annulation is an effective and convergent method for generating oxygenated polycyclic aromatic compounds. A catalytic Hauser–Kraus annulation has been developed based on N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis.![]()

Abstract
A highly chemoselective and enantioselective cyclization of γ-chloroenals and ketimines has been developed to synthesize enantiopure 3,4-2H-pyrindin-2-ones as major products. It is proposed that the intermediate enone IV reacted with an enamine to proceed with a [3 + 3] cyclization, thereby affording 3,4-2H-pyrindin-2-ones as major products. Interestingly, the addition of LiCl promoted the formation of the enamine and accelerated the [3 + 3] cyclization. In contrast, the [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between the intermediate vinyl enolate VIII and an imine offered 5,6-2H-pyrindin-2-ones as minor products. This protocol represents the exceptional potential of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic reactions in accessing biologically active 3,4-2H-pyrindin-2-one derivatives in good yield with high chemoselectivities and excellent enantiomeric purities.

Abstract
The principle of vinylogy states that the electronic effects of a functional group in a molecule are possibly transmitted to a distal position through interposed conjugated multiple bonds. As an emblematic case, the nucleophilic character of a π-extended enolate-type chain system may be relayed from the legitimate α-site to the vinylogous γ, ε, ..., ω remote carbon sites along the chain, provided that suitable HOMO-raising strategies are adopted to transform the unsaturated pronucleophilic precursors into the reactive polyenolate species. On the other hand, when "unnatural" carbonyl ipso-sites are activated as nucleophiles (umpolung), vinylogation extends the nucleophilic character to "unnatural" β, δ, ... remote sites. Merging the principle of vinylogy with activation modalities and concepts such as iminium ion/enamine organocatalysis, NHC-organocatalysis, cooperative organo/metal catalysis, bifunctional organocatalysis, dicyanoalkylidene activation, and organocascade reactions represents an impressive step forward for all vinylogous transformations. This review article celebrates this evolutionary progress, by collecting, comparing, and critically describing the achievements made over the nine year period 2010-2018, in the generation of vinylogous enolate-type donor substrates and their use in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
In the manuscript, computational studies on the remote alkylation of 5-alkylfurfurals proceeding via formation of the corresponding trienamine intermediate are presented. By the means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) method, interesting insights into the mechanism of the reaction have been provided explaining the influence and contribution of different molecular interactions on the observed reactivity as well as on the enantio- and diastereoselectivity of the process. The studies have been extended to the thiophene analogue of the starting furfural derivative and the results obtained verified experimentally.

Abstract
A direct decarboxylative strategy for the generation of aza-o-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has been discovered and explored. This process requires no stoichiometric additives in contrast with current approaches. Aza-o-QMs react with trifluoromethyl ketones through a formal [4+2] manifold to access highly enantioenriched dihydrobenzoxazin-4-one products, which can be converted to dihydroquinolones through an interesting stereoretentive aza-Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement sequence. Complementary dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) studies provided an accurate prediction of the reaction enantioselectivity and lend further insight to the origins of stereocontrol. Additionally, a computed potential energy surface around the major transition structure suggests a concerted asynchronous mechanism for the formal annulation.

Abstract
A novel strategy for the construction of 2,2-diacyl spirocyclohexanones 3 has been demonstrated on the basis of an NHC-catalyzed [3C + 3C] annulation of potassium 2-oxo-3-enoates with 2-ethylidene 1,3-indandiones. Furthermore, enantioenriched 3 was obtained in good to excellent yields with good enantioselectivities when chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) was employed. Notably, ring opening of the resulting 2,2-diacyl spirocyclohexanones 3 with hydrazine led to the formation of phthalazinones in good to excellent yields.
