Abstract
Herein, we report the enantioselective phosphine-catalyzed β,γ-annulation of electron-poor allenes with bifunctional malonates. The reaction exploits a 2C phosphonium synthon that when accessed using (R)-SITCP gives 23 cyclopentanes with high stereoselectivity (most >95:5 er and >9:1 dr) and yield. In addition to the (3+2) annulation, a one-pot three-component variant to give the same cyclopentanes and a (3+2) annulation/Dieckmann cyclization cascade, along with mechanistic studies, are reported.

Abstract
A rhodium-catalyzed tandem arylation/cyclization reaction of 3-(ortho-boronated aryl) conjugated enones with unactivated alkynes is reported. By using a rhodium(I)/chiral-diene complex as the catalyst, the protocol was processed smoothly to provide various 2,3-disubstituted indene compounds in high yields with excellent regioselectivities and enantioselectivities. The approach outlined herein is appealing, as simple diarylalkynes, diakylalkynes, and alkyl(aryl)alkynes are the starting materials.

Abstract
AbstractNumerous studies on the activation of carbon–fluorine bonds have been reported in recent years. For example, acyl fluorides have been utilized as versatile reagents for acylation, arylation, and even fluorination. In this review, we focus on acyl fluorides as compounds with carbon–fluorine bonds, and highlight recent advances in strategies for the activation of their C–F bonds via transition-metal catalysis, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHCs) catalysis, organophosphine catalysis, and classical nucleophilic substitution reactions.1 Introduction2 Transition-Metal-Mediated C–F Bond Activation2.1 Acylation (Carbonyl-Retentive) Coupling Reactions2.2 Decarbonylative Reactions2.3 C–F Bond Activation by Other Transition Metals3 C–F Bond Activation by N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHCs)3.1 NHC-Catalyzed Cycloaddition of Acyl Fluorides3.2 NHC-Catalyzed Radical Functionalization of Acyl Fluorides3.3 NHC-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Fluorination of (Hetero)aromatics4 C–F Bond Activation by Phosphines4.1 Phosphine-Catalyzed Direct Activation of the C–F Bond of Acyl Fluorides4.2 Phosphine-Catalyzed Indirect Activation of the C–F Bond of Acyl Fluorides5 C–F Bond Activation by Classical Nucleophilic Substitution6 Miscellaneous Examples7 Summary and Perspective

Abstract
An unprecedented organocatalytic asymmetric construction of novel six-membered carbocycle fused uracils has been demonstrated by the reaction of the remotely enolizable 6-methyluracil-5-carbaldehydes with 2-bromoenals. The reaction involves an N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed formal [4 + 2] annulation of o-quinodimethane (oQDM) dienolates with α,β-unsaturated acylazoliums, followed by a cascade lactone formation/decarboxylation process. This protocol unlocks a new platform to access enantioenriched carbocycle-fused uracils.

Abstract
In recent years, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have established themselves as a masterful and promising type of organocatalyst for the speedy construction of medicinally and biologically significant molecules from common and accessible small molecules. In particular, various cyclic scaffolds, including carbocycles and heterocycles, have been synthesized using NHCs via cycloaddition reaction. An exhaustive review focused on the chemistry of NHCs in these cyclic molecules has yet to be reported. In this contribution, a general picture of the utilization of NHCs in constructing twelve kinds of bioactive cyclic skeletons is firstly presented. We provide a systematic and comprehensive overview from the perspective of cycloaddition reactions; moreover, the limitations, challenges, and future prospects were discussed.

The reaction provides various indenes, bearing chiral all-carbon quaternary centers, under mild reaction conditions in yields of 32 to 91 % and ee values within the 73-98 % range. The reaction mechanism and aspects of stereocontrol were investigated by DFT calculations.

Abstract
In nature, enzymatic pathways generate Caryl−C(O) bonds in a site-selective fashion. Synthetically, Caryl−C(O) bonds are synthesised in organometallic reactions using prefunctionalized substrate materials. Electrophilic routes are largely limited to electron-rich systems, non-polar medium, and multiple product formations with a limited scope of general application. Herein we disclose a directed para-selective ketonisation technique of arenes, overriding electronic bias and structural congestion, in the presence of a polar protic solvent. The concept of hard–soft interaction along with in situ activation techniques is utilised to suppress the competitive routes. Mechanistic pathways are investigated both experimentally and computationally to establish the hypothesis. Synthetic utility of the protocol is highlighted in formal synthesis of drugs, drug cores, and bioactive molecules. Electrophilic acylation of arenes is largely limited to electron rich systems, non-polar medium and often displays moderate selectivity. Here, the authors show a directed para-selective ketonisation of arenes, overriding electronic bias and structural congestion, and apply it to the synthesis of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Organocatalytic domino processes have become a rapidly growing area of research. N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as powerful organocatalysts for various transformations and continue to have widespread application. In the last decade, domino reactions catalyzed by NHCs have seen significant progress since the different activation modes could be successfully combined in one process. The most attractive features of these domino sequences include the readily available catalysts and substrates, the simple operational procedures, and the rapid assembly of complex molecular scaffolds with excellent levels of stereocontrol under mild reaction conditions. This review covers the advances in NHC-catalyzed domino reactions by focusing on the reaction scope, limitations, and mechanism with a close attention to the features of the reaction substrates.
