Abstract
Double aza-Michael addition (DAM) has become an emerging strategy for the construction of two carbon-nitrogen bonds in a single step, which can significantly simplify the synthesis of N-heterocycles. Hitherto, their asymmetric catalytic genre remains unattempted. Herein, we describe the judicious design of an organocatalytic enantioselective desymmetric double aza-Michael addition cascade to access a series of functionalized fused morpholines with excellent yields and diastereo- and enantioselectivities. A one-pot telescopic synthesis was demonstrated for a bridged triheterocyclic compound. In addition, scale-up synthesis and various attractive postsynthetic modifications of the title products amplify the significance of the current methodology.

Abstract
Morpholines and morpholinones are important building blocks in organic synthesis and pharmacophores in medicinal chemistry, however, C3-disubstituted morpholines/morpholinones are extremely difficult to access. Here we show the ZnCl2-catalyzed cyclizative 1,2-rearrangement for the efficient synthesis of morpholinones bearing aza-quaternary stereocenters. A series of structurally diverse C3-disubstituted morpholin-2-ones which are difficultly accessible by existing methods were efficiently constructed from readily available two achiral linear compounds. Notably, mechanistic studies reveal that this reaction proceeds via an unusual sequence of direct formal [4 + 2] heteroannulation regioselectively delivering specific α-iminium/imine hemiacetals followed by a 1,2-esters or amides shift process, which is different from the reported mechanism of the aza-benzilic ester rearrangements.

Abstract
A new approach to oxazolidines and dihydroxazines was developed by regioselective cyclization of α-aminated ketones under transition metal-free conditions. Oxazolidine derivatives were generated in the presence of chloro benziodoxole and TFA, while dihydroxazines were formed without a hypervalent iodine reagent. The reaction was performed under room temperature and gave the products in good to excellent yields.

Abstract
The azole-directed cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of alkenes has been developed with high efficiency. With this approach, chiral pyrazole compounds were obtained in quantitative yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) under mild conditions, and the hydrogenation was conducted on a gram scale with up to 2000 TON. Several useful applications were demonstrated including the convenient introduction of β-chirality to a drug intermediate containing an azole ring.
