Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of nitriles and two alkynes is an efficient method for assembling pyridines. However, examples employing palladium catalysis have rarely been disclosed, and the processes of reactivity and selectivity remain unclear. We report here a palladium/copper dual metal-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of diynyl-tethered malononitriles and terminal alkynes to synthesize densely substituted pyridines. This method features a good substrate scope, synthetically useful yields, and perfect regioselectivity. The derivatization of the pyridine products demonstrates the potential application of this method in synthesizing heterocycles and as ligands in photocatalysis. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction undergoes aza-oxidative cycloaddition of Pd(0) with nitrile and alkyne, followed by alkyne insertion and reductive elimination. The presence of copper is crucial to its reactivity and regioselectivity.

Abstract
Fused isocoumarins are frequently found in several natural products and pharmaceuticals. Herein, a cascade annulation of 2-alkynylbenzoate-tethered cyclic 1,3-diones via sequential trans-oxypalladation, carbonyl insertion, 1,3-Pd shift, and β-hydride elimination is reported. This method provides efficient access to highly diastereoselective tetracyclic cyclopentene-fused isocoumarins containing two contiguous quaternary stereocenters. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of mechanistic studies, including deuterium labeling experiments. Studies toward enantioselective synthesis using a chiral Bpy ligand gave encouraging initial results.

Abstract
A carbonyl-assisted asymmetric 1,2-migratory allylation through in situ generation of vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocenters is reported to access enantiopure α-amino ketones and amino alcohols with excellent yields and diastereoselectivities. In a remarkable divergence, despite higher steric hindrance, the allylation exclusively occurs on ketones over imines in the first step, followed by a face-selective 1,2-allyl transfer, thus highlighting an exciting interplay between two distinct electrophiles. The methodology distinguishes itself through its adaptability to gram-scale synthesis, showcasing broad functional-group tolerance and stereodivergence. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis led to a deeper understanding of its selectivity and mechanistic framework. Highlighting its transformative potential, the method was applied to the total synthesis of hapalindole alkaloids.

Abstract
A binary Ni/Eu catalytic system has been developed, which enables an efficient reductive dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with alkyl halides and malononitriles. The combination of Ni electron-shuttle catalysis with Eu(OTf)3, a non-redox-type Lewis acid, effectively activates the iminyl radicals, enabling the direct formation of the C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond and β-ketonitrile functionality across a variety of C═C double bonds. This reaction allows for the expedient synthesis of densely functionalized cyclic β-ketonitriles bearing all-carbon quaternary centers.

Abstract
The development of an efficient strategy for facile access to quinoline-based bis-heterocycles holds paramount importance in medicinal chemistry. Herein, we describe a unified approach for accessing 8-(indol-3-yl)methyl-quinolines by integrating Cp*Rh(iii)-catalyzed C(sp3)-H bond activation of 8-methylquinolines followed by nucleophilic cyclization with o-ethynylaniline derivatives. Remarkably, methoxybiaryl ynones under similar catalytic conditions delivered quinoline tethered spiro[5.5]enone scaffolds via a dearomative 6-endo-dig C-cyclization. Moreover, leveraging this method for C8(sp2)-H bond activation of quinoline-N-oxide furnished biologically relevant oxindolyl-quinolines. This reaction proceeds via C(sp2)-H bond activation, regioselective alkyne insertion, oxygen-atom-transfer (OAT) and intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization in a cascade manner. One C-C, one C-N and one C[double bond, length as m-dash]O bond were created with concomitant formation of a quaternary center.

Abstract
A ligand-free Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization of (Z)-5-iodo-4-pentenenitrile has been realized with the help of HCO2H reductant, which is followed by imine hydrolysis to afford cyclopentenone derivatives in moderate to good yields. Control experiments clearly points out that the proton originally came from HCO2H plays a crucial role on protonation of the resultant imido-Pd2+ intermediate. This protocol features mild condition, operational simplicity, as well as wide functional group tolerance.

Abstract
A PdII -catalyzed, domino enantioselective desymmetrizative coupling of 7-azabenzonorbornadienes with alkynylanilines is disclosed herein. This operationally simple transformation generates three covalent bonds and two contiguous stereocenters with excellent enantio- and diastereo-selectivity. The resulting functionalized indole-dihydronaphthalene-amine conjugates served as an appealing platform to streamline the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of other valuable enantioenriched compounds. DFT calculations revealed that the two stabilizing non-covalent interactions contributed to the observed enantioselectivity.

Abstract
A modular platform for facile access to 1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-4H-carbazol-4-ones (H4 -carbazolones) and 3,4-dihydrocyclopenta[b]indol-1(2H)-ones (H2 -indolones) is described. The requisite 6- and 5-membered 2-arylcycloalkane-1,3-dione precursors were readily obtained through a Cu-catalyzed arylation of 1,3-cyclohexanediones or by a ring expansion of aryl succinoin derivatives. Enolization of one carbonyl group in the diones, conversion to a leaving group, and subsequent azidation gave 2-aryl-3-azidocycloalk-2-en-1-ones. This two-step, one-pot azidation is highly regioselective with unsymmetrically substituted 2-arylcyclohexane-1,3-diones. The regioselectivity, which is important for access to single isomers of 3,3-disubstituted carbazolones, was analyzed mechanistically and computationally. Finally, a Rh-catalyzed nitrene/nitrenoid insertion into the ortho C-H bond of the aryl moiety gave the H4 -carbazolones and H2 -indolones. One carbazolone was elaborated to an intermediate reported in the total synthesis of N-decarbomethoxychanofruticosinate, (-)-aspidospermidine, (+)-kopsihainanine A. With 2-phenylcycloheptane-1,3-dione, prepared from cyclohexanone and benzaldehyde, the azidation reaction was readily accomplished. However, the Rh-catalyzed reaction unexpectedly led to a labile but characterizable azirine rather than the indole derivative. Computations were performed to understand the differences in reactivities of the 5- and 6-membered 2-aryl-3-azidocycloalk-2-en-1-ones in comparison to the 7-membered analogue, and to support the structural assignment of the azirine.

Abstract
Synthetic application of asymmetric catalysis relies on strategic alignment of bond construction to creation of chirality of a target molecule. Remote desymmetrization offers distinctive advantages of spatial decoupling of catalytic transformation and generation of a stereogenic element. However, such spatial separation presents substantial difficulties for the chiral catalyst to discriminate distant enantiotopic sites through a reaction three or more bonds away from a prochirality center. Here, we report a strategy that establishes acyclic quaternary carbon stereocenters through cross-coupling reactions at distal positions of aryl substituents. The new class of amino acid-derived ionic chiral catalysts enables desymmetrizing (enantiotopic-group-selective) Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, Sonogashira reaction, and Buchwald-Hartwig amination between diverse diarylmethane scaffolds and aryl, alkynyl, and amino coupling partners, providing rapid access to enantioenriched molecules that project substituents to widely spaced positions in the three-dimensional space. Experimental and computational investigations reveal electrostatic steering of substrates by the C-terminus of chiral ligands through ionic interactions. Cooperative ion-dipole interactions between the catalyst's amide group and potassium cation aid in the preorganization that transmits asymmetry to the product. This study demonstrates that it is practical to achieve precise long-range stereocontrol through engineering the spatial arrangements of the ionic catalysts' substrate-recognizing groups and metal centers.

Abstract
A new catalytic asymmetric indolization reaction by a desymmetrizing [3 + 2] annulation strategy is developed. The reaction proceeds via a rhodium-catalyzed enantioposition-selective addition/5-exo-trig cyclization/dehydration cascade between ortho-amino arylboronic acids and 2,2-disubstituted cyclopentene-1,3-diones to produce N-unprotected cyclopenta[b]indoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter in high yields with good enantioselectivities. A quantitative structure-selectivity relationship (QSSR) model was established to identify the optimal chiral ligand, which effectively controlled the formation of the stereocenter away from the reaction site. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, non-covalent interaction analysis, and Eyring analysis were performed to understand the key reaction step and the function of the ligand.

Abstract
The In(OTf)3-catalyzed α-vinylation of various hydroxy-functionalized quaternary carbon centers using in situ generated isobutylene from tert-butyl acetate is presented as a novel synthetic methodology. Moreover, tert-butyl acetate is a nonflammable feed stock and is a readily available source for the in situ production of vinyl substituents, as demonstrated by the vinylation reaction with quaternary hydroxy/methoxy compounds. Moreover, an excellent selectivity for methylallylation over vinylation was obtained with Ni(OTf)2 as a catalyst. In the case of peroxyoxindole, methylallyl-functionalized 1,4-benzoxazin-3-one derivatives were formed through the sequential rearrangement of peroxyoxindole followed by the nucleophilic attack by isobutylene. The detailed mechanism for this reaction and rationalization for the selectivity are provided using kinetics and density functional theory studies.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed reductive desymmetrizing annulation of alkyne-tethered malononitriles and (hetero)aryl iodides is reported for the access of cyclohexenones containing an α-all-carbon quaternary stereocenter. The use of a nickel catalyst derived from an electron-rich phosphinooxazoline ligand combined with iron powder as a reductant is crucial to the success of this transformation.

Abstract
Present here is a density functional theory (DFT) study of the mechanism and origin of enantioselectivity of Ni-catalyzed desymmetric cyclization of alkyne-tethered malononitriles and aryl boronic acids. The reaction starts from transmetalation and arylnickel addition, followed by trans to cis isomerization to give cis-alkenyl nickel species. The stereodetermining step is the CN insertion, which prefers a transition state with the bystander CN group staying away from the ligand to reduce steric repulsion, and gives the final (R)-product.

Abstract
An enantioselective nickel-catalyzed intramolecular reductive cross-coupling of C(sp2) electrophiles and cyano groups is reported. Enantioenriched CN-containing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters are assembled by desymmetrizing cyclization of aryl/alkenyl halide-tethered malononitriles. The use of an organic reductant, (EtO)2MeSiH, is crucial to the enantioselectivity and reactivity. Applications of the method are demonstrated through the synthesis of bioactive molecules and their cyanated analogues and the total synthesis of the natural product diomuscinone. This study exhibits the potential of desymmetrizing reductive coupling strategies to access structurally rigid and synthetically versatile molecules from readily available starting materials.

Abstract
A Ni/(S,S)-BDPP-catalyzed intramolecular Heck cyclization of N-(2-iodo-aryl) acrylamide with 2-methyl-2-phenylmalononitrile was developed to give oxindoles with good enantioselectivities. We found that utilizing such an electrophilic cyanation reagent could tackle the deleterious effect of the coordinative cyanide ion in the asymmetric alkene arylcyanation.

Abstract
The regio- and chemoselective construction of indole bearing an all-carbon center at the C3-position, a versatile bioactive building block, by C(sp2)-C(sp3) formation with olefins has been achieved through utilization of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the protonation reagent and solvent. The catalytic reactions are operationally simple and green compared with previous reports utilizing elaborated olefins and catalysts. This protocol allows for alkylation of a variety of substituted indoles with diverse of styrene type alkenes in excellent yields and with high selectivity. Application of this protocol to the synthesis of drug was pursued and with an improved yield in contrast to previous art. Catalytic kinetics and deuterium-labeling experiments suggest that the rate-determining step involves the protonation of olefin by HFIP to generate carbocation, followed by electrophilic addition to indole derivative.

Abstract
The Alder-ene type reaction between alkenes and alkynes provides an efficient and atom-economic method for the construction of C-C bond, which has been widely employed in the synthesis of natural products and other functional molecules. The intramolecular enantioselective Alder-ene cycloisomerization reactions of 1,n-enynes have been extensively investigated. However, the intermolecular asymmetric version has not been reported, and remains a challenging task. Herein, we describe a rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular enantioselective Alder-ene type reaction of cyclopentenes with silylacetylenes. A variety of chiral (E)-vinylsilane tethered cyclopentenes bearing one quaternary carbon and one tertiary carbon stereocenters are achieved in high yields and enantioselectivities. The reaction undergoes carbonyl-directed migratory insertion, β-H elimination and desymmetrization of prochiral cyclopentenes processes.
