Toward Efficient and Stereoselective Aromatic and Dearomative Cope Rearrangements: Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of α-Allyl-α'-Aromatic γ-Lactone Derivatives. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202304138.

Abstract
The aromatic Cope rearrangement is an elusive transformation that has been the subject of a limited number of investigations compared to those seemingly close analogues, namely the Cope and aromatic Claisen rearrangement. Herein we report our investigations inspired by moderate success observed in the course of pioneering works. By careful experimental and theoretical investigations, we demonstrate that key substitutions on 1,5-hexadiene scaffold allow fruitful transformations. Especially, efficient functionalisation of the heteroaromatic rings results from the aromatic Cope rearrangement, while highly stereoselective interrupted aromatic Cope rearrangements highlight the formation of chiral compounds through a dearomative process.

Abstract
An efficient squaramide-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of 4-aminopyrazolones with various MBH carbonates via different pathways has been described. This method provides access to a series of pyrazolone derivatives bearing a nitrogen-containing quaternary stereocenter in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities and regioselectivities under mild conditions. In addition, we utilized the target products to construct a range of bi-heterocyclic skeletons through [3 + 2] cycloadditions. These novel hybrid heterocycles would be promising candidates for drug-discovery programs and chemical biology.

Abstract
The synthesis of enantioenriched α-aryl-α'-allyl-γ-butyrolactones bearing vicinal tertiary and quaternary stereocenters through organocatalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation is reported. The process demonstrated that weakly stabilized enolates derived from α-aryl-γ-butyrolactones can undergo regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective allylation using the proper activation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates.

Abstract
The asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of achiral Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates with 3,3'-bisindolines under the catalysis of amino-acid-derived bifunctional phosphines was accomplished. With the AAA approach introduced herein, challenging 3,3'-bisindolines bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter (C3a) have been constructed in good yields with good to excellent enantioselectivties. In addition, the synthetic value of this protocol was demonstrated by the facile synthesis of the core skeleton of gliocladin C.
