Abstract
A dual rhodium/isothiourea catalytic system was developed for the enantiodivergent transformation of terminal alkynes. Under synergistic rhodium/isothiourea dual catalysis, terminal alkynes can be creatively utilized as precursors for C1-ammonium enolate species, which subsequently participate in [4 + 2] and [2 + 2] annulation reactions with α,β-unsaturated ketimines or ketones, respectively. A wide range of chiral lactams and lactones were obtained in excellent yields and stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 dr, 98% ee).

Abstract
The enantioselective α-functionalisation of glycine Schiff base aryl esters through isothiourea catalysis is successfully demonstrated for 1,6-additions to para-quinone methides (21 examples, up to 95:5 dr and 96:4 er) and 1,4-additions to methylene substituted dicarbonyl or disulfonyl Michael acceptors (17 examples, up to 98:2 er). This nucleophilic organocatalysis approach gives access to a range of α-functionalised α-amino acid derivatives and further transformations of the activated aryl ester group provide a straightforward entry to advanced amino acid-based esters, amides or thioesters.

Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydropyridin-2-ones via Domino Reaction under Phase Transfer Catalysis Conditions. Catalysts 2023.

Abstract
3,4-dihydropyridin-2-ones are of considerable importance due to the large number of these core structures exhibiting a diverse array of biological and pharmacological activities. The Michael-type addition of 1,3-dithiane-2-carbothioates to α,β-unsaturated N-tosyl imines, followed by intramolecular annulation driven by a sulfur leaving group, provides a practical reaction cascade for the synthesis of a variety of substituted 3,4-dihydropyridin-2-ones. In this work, the reaction was carried out under solid–liquid phase transfer catalysis (SL-PTC) conditions at room temperature, in short reaction times in the presence of cheap Bu4N+HSO4– and solid KOH. The new PTC method exhibited adequate functional group tolerance, proving to be a green and reliable method and easy to scale up to furnish rapid access to 3,4-dihydropyridin-2-ones after desulfurization from simple, readily available starting materials.

Abstract
The regio- and stereoselective addition of C(1)-ammonium enolates - generated in situ from aryl esters and the isothiourea catalyst (R)-BTM - to pyridinium salts bearing an electron withdrawing substituent in the 3-position allows the synthesis of a range of enantioenriched 1,4-dihydropyridines. This represents the first organocatalytic approach to pyridine dearomatisation using pronucleophiles at the carboxylic acid oxidation level. Optimisation studies revealed a significant solvent dependency upon product enantioselectivity, with only toluene providing significant asymmetric induction. Using DABCO as a base also proved beneficial for product enantioselectivity, while investigations into the nature of the counterion showed that co-ordinating bromide or chloride substrates led to higher product er than the corresponding tetrafluoroborate or hexafluorophosphate. The scope and limitations of this process are developed, with enantioselective addition to 3-cyano- or 3-sulfonylpyridinium salts giving the corresponding 1,4-dihydropyridines (15 examples, up to 95 : 5 dr and 98 : 2 er).

Abstract
C(1)-Ammonium enolates are powerful, catalytically generated synthetic intermediates applied in the enantioselective α-functionalisation of carboxylic acid derivatives. This minireview describes the recent developments in the generation and application of C(1)-ammonium enolates from various precursors (carboxylic acids, anhydrides, acyl imidazoles, aryl esters, α-diazoketones, alkyl halides) using isothiourea Lewis base organocatalysts. Their synthetic utility in intra- and intermolecular enantioselective C-C and C-X bond forming processes on reaction with various electrophiles will be showcased utilising two distinct catalyst turnover approaches.

Abstract
An isothiourea-catalysed enantioselective synthesis of novel tetrahydroindolizine derivatives is reported through a one-pot tandem sequential process. The application of 2-(pyrrol-1-yl)acetic acid in combination with either a trifluoromethyl enone or an α-keto-β,γ-unsaturated ester in an enantioselective Michael addition–lactonisation process, followed by in situ ring-opening and cyclisation, led to a range of 24 tetrahydroindolizine derivatives containing three stereocentres in up to >95 : 5 dr and >99 : 1 er. The isothiourea-catalysed enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydroindolizine derivatives containing three stereocentres is reported through a one-pot tandem sequential process.![]()

Abstract
An isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of aryl ester pronucleophiles to vinyl bis-sulfones via C(1)-ammonium enolate intermediates has been developed. This operationally simple method allows the base-free functionalization of aryl esters to form α-functionalized products containing two contiguous tertiary stereogenic centres in excellent yield and stereoselectivity (all ≥99:1 er). Key to the success of this methodology is the multifunctional role of the aryloxide, which operates as a leaving group, Brønsted base, Brønsted acid and Lewis base within the catalytic cycle. Comprehensive mechanistic studies, including variable time normalization analysis (VTNA) and isotopologue competition experiments, have been carried out. These studies have identified (i) orders of all reactants; (ii) a turnover-limiting Michael addition step, (iii) product inhibition, (iv) the catalyst resting state and (v) catalyst deactivation through protonation.

Abstract
Herein we have demonstrated the first report on 5-annulation of ketoimines to valuable isoindolinone-3-carboxylates. Instead of commonly used aldimine substrates, relatively less reactive ketoimines are employed for developing a TFA catalyzed organoreductive cyclization to furnish a variety of isoindolinones in excellent yield and reaction rate under mild reaction conditions. This is a metal-free event, which proceeds through a one pot ketoimine formation, hydride transfer from an organic reductant 2-(naphthalen-2-yl)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[ d]thiazole, and followed by five member cyclization sequences through TFA-activation of imine and ester groups. Studies on ESI-MS kinetics, leaving group aptitude, and control experiments led us to propose the mechanistic pathway of the new ketoimine-lactamization reaction. We have shown the synthetic utility of the emerging synthons through easy transformation of isoindolinones to different synthetic analogues. We investigated photophysical properties of the small molecules for their futuristic application as a pharmaceutical and materials, and the heterocycles displayed brilliant fluorescence activity.

Abstract
β-Functionalization of indolin-2-one-derived aliphatic acids has been applied in formal [3 + 2] annualtions for catalyst-free and divergent synthesis of two series of structurally interesting 3,3'-spirooxindole γ-butyrolactones that may be attractive for potential drug discovery. These findings also pave the way for further diversity-oriented synthesis of spirooxindoles starting from indolin-2-one-derived aliphatic acids or their derivatives.

Abstract
The catalytic enantioselective synthesis of a range of trans-dihydropyridinones from aryl-, heteroaryl- and alkenylacetic acids and saccharin-derived ketimines with good to excellent stereocontrol (15 examples, up to >95 : 5 dr, up to >99 : 1 er) is reported. After extensive optimisation, HyperBTM proved the optimal isothiourea catalyst for this transformation at -78 °C, giving trans-dihydropyridones with generally excellent levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The scope of dihydropyranone and dihydropyridinone products accessible by isothiourea-catalyzed processes has been expanded and explored through the use of 2-N-tosyliminoacrylates and 2-aroylacrylates in a Michael addition-lactonization/lactamization cascade reaction. Notably, to ensure reproducibility it is essential to use homoanhydrides as ammonium enolate precursors with 2-aroyl acrylates, while carboxylic acids can be used with 2-N-tosyliminoacrylates, delivering a range of 3,5,6-substituted dihydropyranones and dihydropyridinones with high enantioselectivity (typically >90 % ee). The derivatization of the heterocyclic core of a 3,5,6-substituted dihydropyranone through hydrogenation is also reported.

Abstract
A highly enantioselective Lewis base-catalysed formal [3+2] cycloaddition of ammonium enolates and oxaziridines to give stereodefined oxazolidin-4-ones in high yield is described. Employing an enantioenriched oxaziridine in this process leads to a matched/mis-matched effect with the isothiourea catalyst and allowed the synthesis of either syn- or anti-stereodefined oxazolidin-4-ones in high d.r., yield and ee. Additionally, the oxazolidin-4-one products have been derivatised to afford functionalised enantioenriched building blocks.
