Abstract
Electrophilic bromocyclization reactions are widely used as key steps in the synthesis of diverse functionalized tetrahydrofuroindolines and hexahydropyrroloindolines. However, the direct dibromination variants of these reactions for the synthesis of 3,5-dibromoindolines remain undeveloped. Here, we report a protonic-acid-promoted electrooxidative protocol for the dearomative C3,C5-dibromocyclizations of tryptophol and tryptamine derivatives. This electrosynthetic approach, which enables direct selective construction of heterocyclic 3a,5a-dibromoindolines with inexpensive, non-hazardous NaBr as both the electrolyte and Br source, provides a convenient, practical method for the late-stage 3,5-diversification of heterocyclic indolines.

Abstract
Pyrroloindolines bearing a C3-N linkage comprise the core of many biologically active natural products, but many methods toward their synthesis are limited by the sterics or electronics of the product. We report a single electron-based approach for the synthesis of this scaffold and demonstrate high-yielding aminations, regardless of electronic or steric demands. The transformation uses copper wire and isopropanol to promote the reaction. The broad synthetic utility of this heterogeneous copper-catalyzed approach to access pyrroloindolines, diketopiperazine, furoindoline, and (+)-asperazine is included, along with experiments to provide insight into the mechanism of this new process.

Abstract
In this review, we focus on some interesting and recent examples of various applications of organic azides such as their intermolecular or intramolecular, under thermal, catalyzed, or noncatalyzed reaction conditions. The aforementioned reactions in the aim to prepare basic five-, six-, organometallic heterocyclic-membered systems and/or their fused analogs. This review article also provides a report on the developed methods describing the synthesis of various heterocycles from organic azides, especially those reported in recent papers (till 2020). At the outset, this review groups the synthetic methods of organic azides into different categories. Secondly, the review deals with the functionality of the azido group in chemical reactions. This is followed by a major section on the following: (1) the synthetic tools of various heterocycles from the corresponding organic azides by one-pot domino reaction; (2) the utility of the chosen catalysts in the chemoselectivity favoring C−H and C-N bonds; (3) one-pot procedures (i.e., Ugi four-component reaction); (4) nucleophilic addition, such as Aza-Michael addition; (5) cycloaddition reactions, such as [3+2] cycloaddition; (6) mixed addition/cyclization/oxygen; and (7) insertion reaction of C-H amination. The review also includes the synthetic procedures of fused heterocycles, such as quinazoline derivatives and organometal heterocycles (i.e., phosphorus-, boron- and aluminum-containing heterocycles). Due to many references that have dealt with the reactions of azides in heterocyclic synthesis (currently more than 32,000), we selected according to generality and timeliness. This is considered a recent review that focuses on selected interesting examples of various heterocycles from the mechanistic aspects of organic azides.

Abstract
Nature often uses cascade reactions in a highly stereocontrolled manner for assembly structurally diverse nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffolds, i.e. secondary metabolites, important for medicinal chemistry and pharmacy. Five-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles as standalone rings, as well as spiro and polycyclic systems are pharmacophores of drugs approved in various therapies, i.a. antibacterial or antiviral, antifungal, anticancer, antidiabetic, as they target many key enzymes. Furthermore, a large number of pyrrolidine derivatives are currently considered as drug candidates. Cascade transformations, also known as domino or tandem reactions, offer straightforward methods to build N-heterocyclic libraries of the great structural variety desired for drawing SAR conclusions. The tandem transformations are often atom economic and time-saving because they are performed as the one-pot, so no need for purification after each 'virtual' step and the limited necessity of protective groups are characteristic for these processes. Thus, the same results as in classical multistep synthesis can be achieved at markedly lower costs and shorter time, which is in line with modern green chemistry rules. Great advantage of cascade reactions is often reflected in their high regio- and stereoselectivities, enabling the preparing of the heterocyclic compound better fitted to the expected target in cells. This review reveals the biological relevance of N-heterocyclic scaffolds based on saturated 5-membered rings since we showed a number of examples of approved drugs together with the recent biologically attractive leading structures of drug candidates. Next, novel cascade synthetic procedures, taking into account the structure of the reactants and reaction mechanisms, enabling to obtain biological-relevant heterocyclic frameworks with good yields and relatively high stereoselectivity, were reviewed and compared. The review covers the advances of designing biological active N-heterocycles mainly from 2018 to 2021, whereas the synthetic part is focused on the last 7 years.
