In recent years, there has been a rapid and sustained increase in the development and use of one-pot chemoenzymatic reaction processes for the efficient synthesis of high-value molecules. This strategy can provide a number of advantages over traditional synthetic methods, including high levels of selectivity in reactions, mild and sustainable reaction conditions, and the ability to rapidly build molecular complexity in a single reaction vessel. Here, we present several examples of chemoenzymatic one-pot reaction sequences that demonstrate the diversity of transformations that can be incorporated in these processes.

A visible-light photoredox-catalyzed oxidation/[3+2] cycloaddition/oxidative aromatization cascade reaction of [(3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)methyl]phosphonates and activated olefins or alkynes for the efficient synthesis of potentially biological active pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-substituted phosphonates was developed. This transformation features mild reaction conditions (i.e., visible light irradiation, room temperature), molecular oxygen (O2) as a green oxidant, simple ‘one-pot’ operation.

A palladium-catalyzed synthetic strategy has been developed for one-pot synthesis of functionalized spiro(indoline-3,2′-quinazolin)-2-one derivatives from 2-aminobenzonitriles, arylboronic acids and isatins. This cascade strategy proceeds via successive C–C and two C–N bond formations in a single reaction vessel.

Nanofibre sepiolite catalyzed the rapid, clean, and highly efficient synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives by a one-pot, three-component condensation of a series of aldehydes, various enolizable C–H bonds (such as dimedone, α-naphthol, resorcinol, and 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one), and malononitrile in a mixture of water/ethanol. The present method offers several advantages such as high to excellent yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, simple procedure, use of inexpensive, non-toxic, and naturally available catalyst, easy isolation of the products, and no need for column chromatography. The catalyst could be easily separated from the reaction mixture and can be reused for many consecutive trials without a significant decline in its reactivity.

AbstractThe interplay and synergistic cooperation between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst systems is of utmost importance in nature. It is also applied in chemical synthesis. Here, it can allow for new reactivity, which is not possible by the employment of a single catalyst, and promote the catalysis of multiple transformations in a one-pot sequence. This could overall lead to novel reactions and the development of sustainable chemistry. In this context, a versatile and broad synergistic strategy for the selective synthesis of valuable molecules with variable complexity and under eco-friendly conditions is disclosed. It is based on integrated heterogeneous metal/organo multiple relay catalysis, which is performed in a single reaction vessel, and allows for the assembly of complex molecules (e.g., heterocycles and carbocycles) with up to three quaternary stereocenters in a highly enantioselective fashion from simple alcohols and air/O2.

A Cu-catalyzed carbonylative borylation of unactivated alkyl halides has been developed, enabling efficient synthesis of aliphatic potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) in high yields by treating the in-situ formed tetracoordinated acylboron intermediates with aqueous KHF2. A variety of functional groups are tolerated under the mild reaction conditions, and primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl halides are all applicable. In addition, this method also provides facile access to N-methyliminodiacetyl (MIDA) acylboronates as well as α-methylated potassium acyltrifluoroborates in a one-pot manner. Mechanistic studies indicate a radical atom transfer carbonylation (ATC) mechanism to form acyl halide intermediates that are subsequently borylated by (NHC)CuBpin.<br>

A one-pot process for the efficient synthesis of 3,5-diaryl-1,2,4-selenadiazoles from aryl nitriles has been developed. This tandem transformation was performed in excellent yields (91–98%) via in situ selenoamidation and a subsequent oxidative dimerization reaction. This method features relatively mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, straightforward separation of the products, and the utilization of inexpensive reagents.

: Aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines are widely used in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, surfactants and rubber chemicals. Most traditional synthetic methods are often unsuitable for large-scale production due to poor selectivity, harsh reaction conditions and the cost of starting materials. In this context, hydroaminomethylation (HAM) is a very attractive catalytic process with high atom economy that starts from inexpensive reagents, such as alkenes. This review aims to provide an updated overview of hydroaminomethylation as a useful tool for synthesizing aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines. Therefore, the discussion will focus on both unsaturated starting compounds and the amines obtained by this one-pot reaction.

A one-pot three-component synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones via a molecular iodine-catalyzed tandem reaction of simple readily available mono-substituted urea, alkylaldehyde, and arylaldehyde has been developed. The reaction proceeds with high chemo- and regioselectivity to give highly diverse dihydropyrimidinones in reasonable yields under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the first catalytic enantioselective version of this reaction was also realized by using chiral spirocyclic SPINOL-phosphoric acids.

New arylahdehyde oxime ethers functionalised with N3-3,4-dihydropyrimidinone and 2,5-quinazolinedione groups were synthesised in moderate to good yields by the reaction of the corresponding 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones and quinazolinediones with paraformaldehyde and arylaldehyde oximes via a one-pot two-step strategy in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane. The advantages of this method are the simple procedure, the high regioselectivity of the products and the mild reaction conditions.
