The copper-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition (ECA) of organometallic nucleophiles to electron-deficient alkenes (Michael acceptors) represents an efficient and attractive methodology for providing a wide range of relevant chiral molecules. In order to increase the attractiveness of this useful catalytic transformation, some Michael acceptors bearing challenging electron-deficient functions (i.e., aldehydes, thioesters, acylimidazoles, N-acyloxazolidinones, N-acylpyrrolidinones, amides, N-acylpyrroles) were recently investigated. Remarkably, only a few chiral copper-based catalytic systems have successfully achieved the conjugate addition of different organometallic reagents to these challenging Michael acceptors, with excellent regio- and enantioselectivity. Furthermore, thanks to their easy derivatization, the resulting chiral conjugated products could be converted into various natural products. The aim of this tutorial review is to summarize recent advances accomplished in this stimulating field.

The review paper deals with catalytic systems based on porphyrin complexes of metals used for stimulation of reactions of olefins and carbon dioxide. It is shown that these porlhyrin complexes may behave as effective catalysts for carboxylation of epoxides. Specific features of catalysis of the interaction between oxiranes and carbon dioxide in the presence of homogeneous and heterogenized porphyrin complexes of metals, including those comprising various promoters, are considered.

: C-N bond formation reactions are the most important transformations in (bio)organic chemistry because of the widespread occurrence of amines in pharmaceuticals, natural products, and biologically active compounds. The Hofmann rearrangement is a well-known method used for the preparation of primary amines from amides. But, the traditional version of the Hofmann rearrangement often gave relatively poor yields due to over-oxidation or due to the poor solubility of some amides in aqueous base, and created an enormous amount of waste products. Developments over the last two decades, in particular, have focused on refining both of these factors affecting the reaction. This review covers both the description of recent advances (2000-2019) in the Hofmann rearrangements and its applications in the synthesis of heterocycles, natural products and complex molecules of biological interest. It is revealed that organo-catalytic systems especially hypervalent iodine-based catalysts have been developed for the green and environmentally friendly conversion of carboxamides to primary amines and carbamates.

With incredible bioactivities and fascinating structural complexities, tetramic acid- (TA-) containing natural products have attracted favorable attention among the organic chemistry community. Although the construction of the TA core is usually straightforward, the intricate C3-side chain sometimes asks for some deliberative strategy so as to fulfill an elegant total synthesis. This review mainly covers some exceptional synthetic examples for each type of natural product in recent years, showcasing the great achievements as well as unsettled obstacles in this area, in the hope of accelerating the synthetic and biological investigations for this unique type of natural product.
