Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of spiropyrrolines from readily accessible α-formylamino ketones is reported. The method involves amide activation using Tf2O, followed by a formal [3 + 2]-cycloaddition of the resulting enolic nitrilium intermediate with Michael acceptors, ultimately affording spiropyrrolines. Mechanistic insights were gained through NMR studies, elucidating the precise role of the base additive and suggesting the formation of an enolic nitrilium intermediate.

Abstract
The utilization of photogenerated carbene species to perform N-H insertion reactions has attracted considerable attention in the past few years. In this Article, we disclose a visible-light-promoted N-H insertion of 3-aminomethylated maleimides with aryl diazoacetates under sole blue LED irradiation. Continuous flow reactor technology was exploited to improve the reaction efficiency. By simply varying the reaction conditions, the formed N-H insertion products could be selectively transferred to bioimportant octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrroles and E-selective trisubstituted olefins.

Abstract
Triplet energy transfer (EnT)-promoted photochemical pathways, arisen by visible light and its photosensitizers, have gained significant attention as a complementary strategy for initiating organic transformations in photochemical reactions that are unlikely to occur through a single electron transfer (SET) process. In the present study, we investigated the triplet EnT-promoted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of N-(trimethylsilyl)methylphthalimide with electron-deficient alkynyl and alkenyl dipolarophiles. The triplet excited state of N-(trimethylsilyl)methylphthalimide, promoted by the triplet EnT from thioxanthone (TXA) photosensitizer, underwent sequential intramolecular SET and carbon-to-oxygen migration of the silyl group to form azomethine ylide. This generated ylide cycloadded to alkynes or alkenes to regioselectively and stereospecifically produce a nitrogen-containing benzopyrrolizidine scaffold with multiple stereogenic centers. Crucially, the stereoselectivity of these cycloaddition reactions (i.e., endo versus exo addition) was influenced by the nature of the dipolarophiles.

A facile copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of N-2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines with various electron-deficient alkenes to access structurally polyfunctionalized spiro-pyrrolidine-oxindole motifs has been developed. Under the catalytic system, the N-2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines could be utilized to react with a series of exocyclic alkenes, including 2-acylamino acrylates, 3-methylene-β-lactams, and sterically hindered cycloalkenes represented by cyclobutenone, to obtain a variety of densely functionalized spiro-pyrrolidine frameworks bearing an α-amino acid ester, β-lactam, and cyclobutanone, respectively, in generally good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Addressing the challenge of constructing multi-substituted dihydropyrans, we present an efficient synthesis method for oxygen-containing heterocycles. Using thiones and metal carbenes, we employed xanthate and triazole to intramolecularly synthesize dihydropyran or dihydrofuran compounds. 1,2-Hydride migration was inhibited, and thiodihydropyrans were obtained in excellent yields. A mechanism proceeding through a Rh-carbene intermediate is proposed for the multi-substituted dihydropyrans synthesis.

Abstract
Pyrazoles are rarely found in nature but are traditionally used in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, while other areas of use are also actively developing. However, they have also found numerous other applications. The search for new and efficient syntheses of these heterocycles is therefore highly relevant. The modular concept of multicomponent reactions (MCR) has paved a broad alley to heteroaromatics. The advantages over traditional methods are the broader scope and increased efficiency of these reactions. In particular, traditional multistep syntheses of pyrazoles have considerably been extended by MCR. Progress has been made in the cyclocondensation of 1,3-dielectrophiles that are generated in situ. Limitations in the regioselectivity of cyclocondensation with 1,3-dicarbonyls were overcome by the addition-cyclocondensation of α,β-unsaturated ketones. Embedding 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions into a one-pot process has additionally been developed for concise syntheses of pyrazoles. The MCR strategy also allows for concatenating classical condensation-based methodology with modern cross-coupling and radical chemistry, as well as providing versatile synthetic approaches to pyrazoles. This overview summarizes the most important MCR syntheses of pyrazoles based on ring-forming sequences in a flashlight fashion.

Abstract
Oxazocines are key structural intermediates in the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical molecules. However, the synthesis of oxazocines especially in a highly enantioselective manner, is a long-standing formidable challenge due to unfavorable energetics involved in cyclization. Herein, a series of new PNP-Ligand P-chiral stereocenter is first designed and synthesized, called MQ-Phos, and successfully applied it in the Pd-catalyzed enantioselective higher-order formal [4+4]-cycloaddition of α, β-unsaturated imines with 2-(hydroxymethyl)-1-arylallyl carbonates. The reaction features mild conditions, excellent regio- and enantiocontrol and a broad substrate scope (54 examples). Various medium-sized rings can be afforded in moderate to excellent yields (up to 92%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). The newly developed MQ-Phos is critical for synthesis of the medium-sized ring in excellent catalytic reactivity and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
CONTEXT The theoretical study investigates the [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions between C, N-diphenyl nitrilimine with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone and benzonitrile oxide with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. Nitrilimines and nitrile oxides are dipoles used in the synthesis of several heterocyclic compounds, including spiropyrazoline oxindoles and isoxazolines. The derivatives of these compounds are found with different biological activities, such as ion channel blockers, anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents as well as antimalarial. Conceptual density functional theory (CDFT) analysis, along with the activation energies of the 32CA reaction between C, N-diphenyl nitrilimine with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone, demonstrates concordance with the empirical findings. The 32CA reaction is found to proceed through a very polar single-step asynchronous mechanism. While deductions from the activation energies of the 32CA reaction between benzonitrile oxide and 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone are found to lead to the experimental product, the parr function analysis could not explain the observed chemo- and regioselectivity. This 32CA reaction is also found to proceed through a one-step asynchronous mechanism, though with a non-polar character. The modulation of substituents positioned at the reactive sites of the reactants is found to influence the kinetics, thermodynamics, and CDFT parameters of the two 32CA reactions, consequently impacting the observed selectivities. METHODS The 32CA reactions between C, N-diphenyl nitrilimine with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone and benzonitrile oxide with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylcyclopentadienone have been explored theoretically using the density functional theory method at the hybrid ωB97X-D coupled with the split valence triple-ξ (TZ) basis set as implemented in the Gaussian 09. Solvent effects were taken into account by full optimization of the gas phase geometries through the polarizable continuum model developed within the self-consistent reaction field.

Abstract
The enantioselective and diastereoselective control of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions to β-substituted cyclic enones has been developed. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of phthalazinium dicyanomethanides with cyclic dienones affords chiral tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]phthalazine derivatives 3 through vinylogous iminium ion activation by combining a cinchona-based primary amine C3 and a chiral camphorsulfonic acid additive. Conversely, with a weaker 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid additive, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of phthalazinium dicyanomethanides with β-substituted cyclic enones leads to chiral hexahydroisoindolo[1,2-a]phthalazin-10(8H)-one derivatives 4 with excellent stereocontrol via endo-dienamine activation.

Abstract
An efficient [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between in situ generated nitrile imines from hydrazonoyl halides and vinylsulfonium salts is developed. The nitrile imines are demonstrated to be a new class of reaction partner for vinylsulfonium salts to conduct the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. The process provides a concise and efficient method for the construction of pyrazole derivatives under mild reaction conditions with broad substrate scope, good product yields, and high regioselectivity.

Chem Sci 2024; 15:10926-10934.

Abstract
Here, we report a highly effective dearomative (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction between isoquinolinium ylides and α,β-enamides, α,β-γ,δ-dienamides, or an α,β-γ,δ-ε,ζ-trienamide, which is catalyzed by a chiral π-Cu(ii) complex (1-10 mol%) and proceeds in a site-selective, exo/endo-selective, and enantioselective manner. The (3 + 2) cycloaddition involving the α,β-enamides proceeds with high exo-selectivity and enantioselectivity. This method is applicable to various substrates including α-substituted, α,β-disubstituted, or β,β-disubstituted α,β-enamides, which are compounds with an intrinsically low reactivity. This method provides synthetic access to pyrroloisoquinoline derivatives with up to three chiral carbon centers, including those featuring fluorine and trifluoromethyl groups, as well as quaternary carbon centers. The (3 + 2) cycloaddition involving α,β-γ,δ-dienamides proceeds with high γ,δ-site-selectivity and enantioselectivity, whereby the exo/endo-selectivity depends on the substrates and ligands. Remarkably, the (3 + 2) cycloaddition of δ-phenyl-α,β-γ,δ-dienamide proceeds with high α,β-site-selectivity, exo-selectivity, and enantioselectivity. In a manner similar to the reaction with the α,β-γ,δ-dienamides, α,β-γ,δ-ε,ζ-trienamide furnishes a (3 + 2) cycloadduct with good ε,ζ-site-selectivity, endo-selectivity, and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Rhodium-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of diazoenals and N-alkyl imines resulted in N-alkyl-pyrrole-3-carbaldehyde derivatives. The reaction involves thermal 6π-electrocyclization and aromatization of a new class of enal-azomethine ylides (EAYs). The EAYs derived from dihydroisoquinoline and 2H-azirine gave fused-pyrrole and pyridine derivatives, respectively. The synthetic importance of pyrrole products has been demonstrated by one-step synthesis of the biologically relevant pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinoline scaffold as well as pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline which is a core structure of lamellarin alkaloids.

Abstract
This review explores the significance of trifluoromethylnitrones in synthesizing fluorine-containing compounds, with a particular focus on trifluoromethylated heterocycles. It explores the versatility of trifluoromethylnitrones, especially in [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions, highlighting their unique reactivity with various dienophile substrates. Trifluoromethylnitrones are valuable precursors for the rapid synthesis of medicinally important trifluoromethylated heterocycles, including isoxazolidines, dihydroisoxazoles, oxathiazolidines, β-lactams, and aziridines. These heterocycles, in turn, serve as synthons for synthesizing trifluoromethylated lactams and aminoalcohols. Additionally, nitrone chemistry extends to synthesizing trifluoromethylated nucleosides and trifluorinated organoborane heterocycles, demonstrating their versatility. While sharing similarities with trifluorodiazoethane reactivity, trifluoromethylnitrones offer distinct advantages by enabling the synthesis of heterocycles typically inaccessible with trifluorodiazoethane.

Abstract
We describe the single-step formation of complex tetracyclic fused scaffolds enabled by (3 + 2) cycloaddition of azomethine ylides. Various indoles, N-protecting groups, and amino acids are well tolerated. The products are obtained in a catalyst-free manner with moderate to excellent yield and high diastereoselectivity. Representing a new scaffold that is not yet found in nature, the construction of pyrrolidine-fused cyclohepta-, azepino-, or oxepinoindoles could be found valuable in the synthesis of new pseudo-natural products.

Abstract
Transition-metal catalyzed tandem asymmetric reactions were powerful tools to access various chiral compounds. Many strategies have been developed for the coupling of 1,n-dienes with aryl halides via a tandem Heck/Tsuji-Trost process. However, the control of regio- and stereo-chemistry remains a challenging task. This minireview details the recent advances in the field of asymmetric Heck/Tsuji-Trost reactions catalyzed by palladium complex, which have opened new opportunities and expanded our understanding in this area of research in recent years.

Abstract
The stereoselective 5-endo-trig oxygenative cyclization of α,β-unsaturated oximes was achieved using molecular oxygen (O2) and a manganese catalyst. Several 4-hydroxy-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles were obtained in high yields by directly incorporating O2 from the atmosphere (eliminating the necessity for a pure oxygen environment) and using an unprecedentedly low loading of Mn(acac)3 (as little as 0.020 mol %) without additional additives. Because of its desirable features, such as operational simplicity, inexpensive catalyst, mild reaction conditions (open flask conditions at room temperature), and broad substrate compatibility, this novel reaction provides an attractive synthetic approach to producing 4-hydroxy-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles.

Abstract
A pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline core structure is prevalent in marine and other natural products. This article describes a tungsten-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition aromatization of dihydroisoquinoline ester and maleic anhydride or an acrylate. The photochemical reaction tolerates a range of functional groups such as ester, cyano, ketone, bromide, and alkene. It is shown that the cycloaddition-aromatization of 2-substitued acrylate catalyzed by a tungsten photocatalyst can be used to evaluate the leaving ability of the leaving group. Experiments done to determine the reaction mechanism revealed that the formation of an ion-pair intermediate generated in situ from dihydroisoquinoline ester and (Z)-4-methoxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid via the solvolysis of maleic anhydride with methanol is crucial for the cascade process to occur. The key cycloadduct acid intermediate derived from [3+2] cycloaddition was isolated and determined by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
Despite their significant importance to numerous fields, the difficulties in direct and diverse synthesis of α-hydroxy-γ-lactams pose substantial obstacles to their practical applications. Here, we designed a nitrogen and TiO2 co-doped graphitic carbon-supported material with atomically dispersed cobalt sites (CoSA-N/NC-TiO2), which was successfully applied as a multifunctional catalyst to establish a general method for direct construction of α-hydroxy-γ-lactams from cheap and abundant nitro(hetero)arenes, aldehydes, and H2O with alkynoates. The striking features of operational simplicity, broad substrate and functionality compatibility (>100 examples), high step and atom efficiency, good selectivity, and exceptional catalyst reusability highlight the practicality of this new catalytic transformation. Mechanistic studies reveal that the active CoN4 species and the dopants exhibit a synergistic effect on the formation of key acid-masked nitrones; their subsequent nucleophilic addition to the alkynoates followed by successive reduction, alkenyl hydration, and intramolecular ester ammonolysis delivers the desired products. In this work, the concept of reduction interruption leading to new reaction route will open a door to further develop useful transformations by rational catalyst design.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202312663. [PMID: 38032817 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202312663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
Azomethine imines, as a prominent class of 1,3-dipolar species, hold great significance and potential in organic and medicinal chemistry. However, the reported synthesis of centrally chiral azomethine imines relies on kinetic resolution, and the construction of axially chiral azomethine imines remains unexplored. Herein, we present the synthesis of axially chiral azomethine imines through copper- or chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed ring-closure reactions of N'-(2-alkynylbenzylidene)hydrazides, showcasing high efficiency, mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and excellent enantioselectivity. Furthermore, the biological evaluation revealed that the synthesized axially chiral azomethine imines effectively protect dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons by inhibiting apoptosis induced by oxaliplatin, offering a promising therapeutic approach for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Remarkably, the (S)- and (R)-atropisomers displayed distinct neuroprotective activities, underscoring the significance of axial stereochemistry.

Abstract
Numerous eight-membered heterocycles are of significance in biological chemistry, the pharmaceutical industry, agrochemistry, and materials science. However, the assembly of eight-membered heterocycles is usually challenging due to the unfavorable enthalpic and entropic barriers of the transition states during the ring formation. Tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of synthetic routes to eight-membered heterocycles. Despite these developments, the exploration of more strategies for the facile and effective assembly of eight-membered heterocyclic molecules in a single vessel under mild conditions is still highly desirable. The conjugated heterodiene-participating [4 + 4] annulation serves as a convenient and robust strategy for the synthesis of eight-membered heterocycles from easily accessible starting materials. In recent years, great progress has been achieved in this attractive field. In this short review, we highlighted the recent advances in the synthesis of eight-membered heterocycles via cascade reactions based on [4 + 4] annulation of conjugated heterodienes with 1,4-dipolar species. The brief backgrounds, the general reactions, the proposed mechanisms and their features are summarized. The prospects and challenges of this field are also outlined at the end of this review. In addition, to highlight the importance and practicality of these reactions, the properties of several series of eight-membered heterocycles have also been introduced briefly.

Abstract
Herein we report the rhodium-catalyzed one-pot three-component reaction of diazo compounds, nitriles, and nitrosoarenes to construct 2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives. Mechanistic studies indicate that the transformation may proceed through the formation of nitrile ylides intermediates, which then undergo [3+2]-cycloaddition with nitrosoarenes. The strategy exhibits several synthetic advantages, including operational simplicity, good functional group tolerance, and scalability.

Abstract
The N-tert-butanesulfinylimine group behaves as a suitable electron-withdrawing group in 1-azadienes, allowing the diastereoselective synthesis of densely substituted pyrrolidines by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions (1,3-DCs) with azomethylene ylides. The use of Ag2CO3 as catalyst has allowed one to obtain a wide variety of proline derivatives with high regio- and diastereoselectivities. Subsequent efficient transformations provide valuable proline derivatives, some of which can be used as organocatalysts. The influence of the N-tert-butanesulfinyl group on the diastereoselectivity was studied by computational methods.

Abstract
The [3 + 2] cycloadditions of stabilized azomethine ylides (AMYs) derived from amino esters are well-established. However, the reactions of semi-stabilized AMYs generated from decarboxylative condensation of α-amino acids with arylaldehydes are much less explored. The [3 + 2] adducts of α-amino acids could be used for a second [3 + 2] cycloaddition as well as for other post-condensation modifications. This article highlights our recent work on the development of α-amino acid-based [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of N-H-type AMYs in multicomponent, one-pot, and stepwise reactions for the synthesis of diverse heterocycles related to some bioactive compounds and natural products.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed allylation cyclization reaction has recently emerged as an efficient and powerful synthetic platform for the construction of diverse and valuable carbo- and heterocycles. Thus the development of new allylic motifs for achieving this type of transformations in high reactivity and selectivity is of great importance. Generally, these substrates have been utilized as 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6-dipoles in many reactions, which are applied to prepare highly functionalized products with complete control of chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. In this review, we focus our attention on the development of palladium-catalyzed [4 + n] cycloaddition of allylic motifs and describe a comprehensive and impressive advances in this area. Meanwhile, the related mechanism and the application of these annulation strategies in natural product total synthesis will be highlighted in detail.

Abstract
In the manuscript the application of dearomative formal normal-electron-demand aza-Diels-Alder cycloaddition in the synthesis of tetrahydrofuropyridines is described. The developed approach utilizes aminocatalytic activation of 2-alkyl-3-furfurals that proceeds via formation of the dearomatized dienamine intermediate. Initially obtained cycloadducts have been subjected to subsequent transformations providing access to tetrahydrofuropyridines or functionalized cinnamates. The mechanism of the process has been confirmed by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonding greatly influences rates and equilibrium positions of chemical reactions, conformations, and sometimes even stereochemistry. This study reports on tetranitrofluorenone oximate, a novel dye capable of naked-eye detection of hydrogen-bond donating species (HBDs) and of rapid determination of H-bond donation strength by hypsochromic shift monitoring. In addition, the molecule possesses atropisomeric conformations, of M and P configuration, as evidenced in solid and solution state studies by X-ray diffraction and electronic circular dichroism (ECD), respectively. In the latter case, enantiopure bis-thioureas were the most effective HBDs to promote a chiral induction (diastereoselective recognition, Pfeiffer effect); the ECD results being rationalized by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. Based on these experiments, bis-thioureas were used as chiral reagents in asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of structurally-related nitrones; the ECD sensing of the stereoinduction between bis-thioureas and the oximate serving as an indirect method of selection of the most effective HBD for asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract
Here we describe a novel catalyst-free 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition bioconjugation approach for chemical modification of proteins. The dehydroalanine (Dha)-containing protein reacts with nitrile oxides generated in situ through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition in fully aqueous-buffered systems. This leads to the formation of a new isoxazoline ring at a pre-defined site (Dha) of the protein. Furthermore, the 1-pyrene isoxazoline-installed annexin V acts as a fluorescent probe, which successfully labels the outer cellular membranes of human cholangiocarcinoma (HuCCA-1) cells for detection of apoptosis.

Abstract
A class of prochiral allenylic di-electrophiles have been introduced for the first time as three-atom synthons in cycloadditions, and a new type of [4+3] cycloaddition involving transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective sequential allenylic substitution has been successfully developed, enabling challenging seven-membered exocyclic axially chiral allenes to be accessed in good yields with good enantioselectivity. Through the addition of a catalytic amount of ortho-aminoanilines or ortho-aminophenols, the racemization of the [4+3] cycloaddition products is effectively suppressed. Mechanistic studies reveal that elusive Pd-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular allenylic substitution rather than intermolecular allenylic substitution is the enantio-determining step in this cycloaddition. By tuning the ligands, a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetric allenylic substitution leading to linear axially chiral tri-substituted allenes or a Pd-catalyzed tandem desymmetric allenylic substitution/β-vinylic hydrogen elimination (formal enynylation) leading to multi-functionalized 1,3-enynes is achieved chemodivergently.

Abstract
Herein we have developed an organocatalytic asymmetric domino [3+2]-cycloaddition-acyl transfer reaction between in situ generated azomethine ylides and α-nitro-α,β-unsaturated ketones. The desired penta-substituted pyrrolidine products were obtained in high yields and in moderate to good enantio- and diastereoselectivities. Also, an isomerization reaction in silica gel was performed for the formation of another diastereomer in high yields with retention of enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Azomethine imines are valuable substrates for chemical synthesis in organic solvents that often require anhydrous conditions. Here, we introduce C,N-cyclic-N'-acyl azomethine imines (AMIs) to bioorthogonal reactions in an aqueous environment. These AMIs are stable under physiological conditions and react rapidly (k2 = 0.1-250 M-1 s-1, depending on pH) and chemoselectively with isonitriles in the presence of biological nucleophiles, including thiols. Live-cell imaging of cell-surface-bound isonitriles underlines the biocompatibility of the AMI-isonitrile ligation, and simultaneous one-pot triple-protein labeling demonstrates its orthogonality to commonly used bioorthogonal reactions, such as the SPAAC and iEDDA ligations.

Abstract
Spirocyclic scaffolds are important motifs due to their potential to bestow favorable effects on pharmaceutical compounds. However, there is a need for efficient methods for their enantioselective construction. We report a method for the asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diazoacetates or nitrile oxides with α-methylene lactams to prepare chiral spirocyclic heterocycles. The methodology is high yielding (up to 91% yield) and enantioselective (up to 89% ee) for a wide range of N-substituents and 6- and 7-membered ring lactam substrates.

Abstract
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have undoubtedly emerged as the most indispensable tool for organic chemists worldwide, finding extensive utility in the synthesis of intricate natural products, heterocyclic molecules with significant bioactivity, and pharmaceutical agents. The multicomponent one-pot 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, which were initially conceptualized by Rolf Huisgen in 1960, find extensive application in contemporary heterocyclic chemistry. In terms of green synthesis, the multicomponent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is highly favored owing to its numerous advantages, including high step- and atom-economies, remarkable product diversity, as well as excellent efficiency and diastereoselectivity. Among the numerous pieces of research, the most fascinating reaction involves the utilization of azomethine ylides generated from isatins and amino acids that can be captured by various dipolarophiles. This approach offers a highly efficient and convenient method for constructing spiro-pyrrolidine oxindole scaffolds, which are crucial building blocks in biologically active molecules. Consequently, this review delves deeper into the dipolarophiles utilized in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of isatins and amino acids over the past six years.

Abstract
Cycloaddition is a fundamental transformation, featuring the assembly of complex cyclic molecules with multiple stereocenters. We report here a silver-catalyzed [3+2]-cycloaddition of 2,3-disubstituted cyclobutenones with an array of azomethine ylide precursors iminoesters, furnishing azabicycles in good yields and enantioselectivities. Up to three contiguous all-carbon quaternary centers, including two angular stereocenters, could be constructed efficiently, due to high reactivity of strained cyclobutenones. Subsequent skeletal remodeling provided versatile molecules with distinct structural characters.

Abstract
Despite the extensive applications, selective and diverse access to N,N'-diarylethane-1,2-diamines remains, to date, a challenge. Here, by developing a bifunctional cobalt single-atom catalyst (CoSA-N/NC), we present a general method for direct synthesis of such compounds via selective reductive coupling of cheap and abundant nitroarenes and formaldehyde, featuring good substrate and functionality compatibility, an easily accessible base metal catalyst with excellent reusability, and high step and atom efficiency. Mechanistic studies reveal that the N-anchored cobalt single atoms (CoN4) serve as the catalytically active sites for the reduction processes, the N-doped carbon support enriches the HCHO to timely trap the in situ formed hydroxyamines and affords the requisite nitrones under weak alkaline conditions, and the subsequent inverse electron demand 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the nitrones and imines followed by hydrodeoxygenation of the cycloadducts furnishes the products. In this work, the concept of catalyst-controlled nitroarene reduction to in situ create specific building blocks is anticipated to develop more useful chemical transformations.

Abstract
Herein, we report a copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides and 1,3-enynes, which provides a series of chiral poly-substituted pyrrolidines in high regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. Both 4-aryl-1,3-enynes and 4-silyl-1,3-enynes serve as suitable dipolarophiles while 4-alkyl-1,3-enynes are inert. Moreover, the method is successfully applied in the construction of both tetrasubstituted stereogenic carbon centers and chiral spiro pyrrolidines. The DFT calculations are also conducted, which imply a concerted mechanism rather than a stepwise mechanism. Finally, various transformations started from the pyrrolidine bearing a triethylsilylethynyl group and centered on the alkyne group are achieved, which compensates for the inertness of 4-alkyl-1,3-enynes in the present reaction.

Abstract
De novo combination of natural product (NP) fragments by means of efficient, complexity- and stereogenic character-generating transformations to yield pseudo-natural products (PNPs) may explore novel biologically relevant chemical space. Pyrrolidine- and tetrahydroquinoline fragments rarely occur in combination in nature, such that PNPs that embody both fragments might represent novel NP-inspired chemical matter endowed with bioactivity. We describe the synthesis of pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines by means of a highly enantioselective intramolecular exo-1,3-dipolar cycloaddition catalysed by the AgOAc/(S)-DMBiphep complex. The cycloadditions proceeded in excellent yields (up to 98%) and with very high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). Investigation of the resulting PNP collection in cell-based assays monitoring different biological programmes led to the discovery of a structurally novel and potent inhibitor of the Hedgehog signalling pathway that targets the Smoothened protein.

Abstract
A series of benzofulvenes without any electron-withdrawing substituents were employed as 2π-type dipolarophiles for the first time to participate in Cu(i)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reactions of azomethine ylides. An intrinsic non-benzenoid aromatic characteristic from benzofulvenes serves as a key driving force for activation of the electron-rich benzofulvenes. Utilizing the current methodology, a wide range of multi-substituted chiral spiro-pyrrolidine derivatives containing two contiguous all-carbon quaternary centers were formed in good yield with exclusive chemo-/regioselectivity and high to excellent stereoselectivity. Computational mechanistic studies elucidate the origin of the stereochemical outcome and the chemoselectivity, in which the thermostability of these cycloaddition products is the major factor.

J Mol Graph Model 2023; 123:108515. [PMID: 37220699 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2023.108515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
1,4-Diazepine as an active drug component underlies the potency of most psychotic, anticancer, anticonvulsant, and antibacterial drugs in the market and is, therefore crucial in chemotherapeutic treatment in biomedicine. Proper functionalization of this moiety can afford even more potent drugs. As a result of their therapeutic significance, this study aims at precisely giving a comprehensive computational insight into the unexpected initial reactivity of 1,4-diazepine derivatives and mesitonitrile oxide. The initial reaction between mesitonitrile oxide and 1,4-diazepine derivatives proceeds via a (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction which leads to the formation of a cycloadduct where the mesitonitrile oxide unexpectedly adds across the imine functionality at the expense of the potential olefinic carbon-carbon double bond. Calculations at the density functional theory (DFT) M06/6-311G (d, p) level of theory indicate that the initial (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction of mesitonitrile oxide (1,3-dipole) and 1,4-diazepine derivatives (dipolarophile) in all cases proceeds to form the cycloadduct where the 1,3-dipole adds preferentially to the imine functionality at the expense of the potential olefinic carbon-carbon double bond. In light of the parent reaction, the most kinetically favored cycloadductP3A had a rate constant of 5.1 × 106 M-1s-1, which is about 12 manifolds faster than the next competing stereoisomer P1A with a rate constant of 4.1 × 105 M-1s-1 and about 1024 faster than the most favored cycloadduct P3B with a rate constant of 7.2 × 10-19 M-1s-1 in the unfavored pathway (Path B). Irrespective of the electronic and steric nature of the electron-donating (EDG) and electron-withdrawing (EWG) substituents placed on the dipolarophile, the selectivities of the reaction were maintained. Rationalization of the potential energy surface depicts that the 1,3-dipole adds across the dipolarophile via an asynchronous concerted mechanism. Rationalization of the HOMO-LUMO energies of the mesitonitrile oxide (1,3-dipole) and the 1,4-diazepine derivatives (dipolarophile) depict that the EDG-substituted dipolarophile react as nucleophiles, whereas the dipole reacts as an electrophile. Conversely, the HOMO-LUMO interaction between the EWG-substituted dipolarophile indicates that the EWG-substituted dipolarophile react as electrophiles, whereas the dipole reacts as a nucleophile. The electrophilic parr function at various reactive sites of the dipolarophile shows that the 1,3-dipole preferentially adds across the local centers with the largest electrophilic NBO or Mulliken spin densities which is consistent with the energetic trend observed. The reactivity of the 1,4-diazepine derivatives and the mesitonitrile oxide showed poor stereoselectivity.
