Abstract
Owing to their unique structural features, isothiocyanates (ITCs) are a class of highly useful and inimitable reagents as the -NCS group serves both as electrophile and nucleophile in organic synthesis. ITCs share a rich legacy in organic, medicinal, and combinatorial chemistry. Compared to their oxygen equivalents, isocyanates, ITCs are easily available, less unpleasant, and somewhat less harmful to work with (mild conditions) which makes them happy-go-lucky reagents. Functionalized ITCs can finely tune the reactivity of the -NCS group and thus can be exploited in the late-stage functionalization processes. This review's primary aim is to outline ITC chemistry in the construction and derivatization of heterocycles through the lens of sustainability. For ease and brevity, the sections are divided based on reactive centers present in functionalized ITCs and modes of cyclisation. Scrutinizing their probable unexplored directions for future research studies is also addressed.

Abstract
Indanones are prominent motifs found in number of natural products and pharmaceuticals. Particularly, 1-indanones occupy important niche in chemical landscape due to their easy accessibility and versatile reactivity. In the past few years, significant advancement has been achieved regarding cyclization of 1-indanone core. The present review focuses on recent (2016-2022) annulations involving 1-indanones for the construction of fused- and spirocyclic frameworks. In this context, new strategies for synthesis of various carbocyclic as well as heterocyclic skeletons are demonstrated. Mechanistic aspects of representative reactions are illustrated for better understanding of reaction pathways. A large number of transformations described in this review offer stereoselective formation of desired polycyclic compounds. Importantly, several reactions provide biologically relevant compounds and natural products, such as, plecarpenene/plecarpenone, swinhoeisterol A, cephanolides A-D, diptoindonesin G and atlanticone C.

Abstract
A highly efficient oxidative dearomatization of indoles with H-phosphorus oxides in the presence of TEMPO oxoammonium salt has been demonstrated. Through the intramolecular oxidative dearomatization of indoles and subsequent intermolecular nucleophilic addition with phosphorus nucleophile, a variety of structurally diverse arylphosphoryl and alkylphosphoryl indolin-3-ones were obtained in good yields with a broad substrate scope and high functional-group compatibility.

Abstract
The unprecedented Ag-catalyzed exo ' -selective [3+2] cycloaddition of imino esters with 4-benzylidene-2,3-dioxopyrrolidines is described. The reaction was efficiently catalyzed by AgOAc/( R , S p )-ThioClickFerrophos (TCF) leading to the construction of the corresponding spirobipyrrolidine scaffolds in excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. This reaction is the first example of a silver-catalyzed exo ' -selective asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition, as well as the first exo ' -selective spirobipyrrolidine construction via a [3+2] cycloaddition process using imino esters. The wide substrate scope of this reaction enabled the preparation of structurally diverse spirobipyrrolidine derivatives, which are attracting attention as targets for drug discovery. Mechanistic studies suggested that the unusual exo ' -selectivity of this reaction is not due to epimerization following the common exo - or endo -selective cycloaddition, but instead is due to a stepwise Michael addition/Mannich sequence with bond rotation.

Abstract
Bifunctional thiourea-catalyzed asymmetric [3 + 2] annulation reactions of 2-isothiocyanato-1-indanones with barbiturate-based olefins have been developed to afford chiral dispiro[indene-pyrrolidine-pyrimidine]s. Through this strategy, the target products could be obtained in good to excellent yields with excellent stereoselectivities. In addition, the synthetic utility was verified through a gram-scale synthesis, one-pot three-component reactions and further transformation experiments of the products.

Abstract
An effective strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of spiro isoxazolone-cyclohexenimines was developed using a bifunctional squaramide-catalysed vinylogous Michael addition/cyclization cascade reaction of 4-unsaturated isoxazol-5-ones and α,α-dicyanoalkenes. The atom-economical cascade process can proceed smoothly under extremely low catalyst loading (1 mol%) and mild conditions, and the corresponding products were obtained in moderate to good yields (45% to 90%) and enantioselectivitites (51% to 96% ee). Meanwhile, the scale-up reaction and transformation of the products were also demonstrated.
