Abstract
In this study, we describe the synthesis of cinchona (thio)squaramide and a novel cinchona thiourea organocatalyst. These catalysts were employed in pharmaceutically relevant catalytic asymmetric reactions, such as Michael, Friedel-Crafts, and A3 coupling reactions, in combination with Ag(I), Cu(II), and Ni(II) salts. We identified several organocatalyst-metal salt combinations that led to a significant increase in both yield and enantioselectivity. To gain insight into the active catalyst species, we prepared organocatalyst-metal complexes and characterized them using HRMS, NMR spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations (B3LYP-D4/def2-TZVP), which allowed us to establish a structure-activity relationship.

Abstract
In this work, a mild and efficient catalyst-free α-allylation of 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline imines with Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates was reported. The scopes of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines and MBH carbonates as well as gram-scale synthesis were investigated, and densely functionalized adducts were obtained in moderate to good yields. The synthetic utility of these versatile synthons was further demonstrated by the facile synthesis of diverse benzo[a]quinolizidine skeletons.

Abstract
This paper describes a catalytic asymmetric Staudinger-aza-Wittig reaction of (o-azidoaryl)malonates, allowing access to chiral quaternary oxindoles through phosphine oxide catalysis. We designed a novel HypPhos oxide catalyst to enable the desymmetrizing Staudinger-aza-Wittig reaction through the PIII/PV═O redox cycle in the presence of a silane reductant and an IrI-based Lewis acid. The reaction occurs under mild conditions, with good functional group tolerance, a wide substrate scope, and excellent enantioselectivity. Density functional theory revealed that the enantioselectivity in the desymmetrizing reaction arose from the cooperative effects of the IrI species and the HypPhos catalyst. The utility of this methodology is demonstrated by the (formal) syntheses of seven alkaloid targets: (-)-gliocladin C, (-)-coerulescine, (-)-horsfiline, (+)-deoxyeseroline, (+)-esermethole, (+)-physostigmine, and (+)-physovenine.

Abstract
Enantioselective imine reduction of dihydro-β-carbolines (DHBCs) is a reliable and powerful tool to construct bioactive chiral tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THBCs). Here, we report an efficient enantioselective imine reduction employing in situ generated Fe-thiosquaramides (Fe-TSQs) 3a and 3b as asymmetric organometallic catalysts to produce chiral THBCs (2a-h). The catalyst 3a at 15 mol % was found to be suitable for the substrates with alkyl and aryl groups which afford corresponding chiral THBCs with excellent enantioselectivities (up to ee 99%).

Abstract
Multi-reactive centered reagents are beneficial in chemical synthesis due to their advantage of minimal material utilization and formation of less by-products. Trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA), a reagent with three reactive centers, was employed in the synthesis of spirooxindoles through the oxidative rearrangement of various N-protected tetrahydro-β-carbolines. In this protocol, low equivalents of TCCA were required to access spirooxindoles (up to 99% yield) with a wide substrate scope. Furthermore, the applicability and robustness of this protocol were proven for the gram-scale total synthesis of natural alkaloids such as (±)-coerulescine (1) and (±)-horsfiline (2) in excellent yields. Three-reactive centered reagent (TCCA) mediated construction of spirooxindoles through an oxidative rearrangement of various N-protected tetrahydro-β-carbolines and total synthesis of natural alkaloids (±)-coerulescine and (±)-horsfiline.![]()
