Alkene difunctionalization represents one of the most efficient methods to synthesize highly functionalized molecules from simple and readily available starting materials. In contrast to the well-established redox-neutral alkene difunctionalization reactions, reductive alkene difunctionalization, which simultaneously introduces two electrophiles on both sides of the double bond, has been much less developed, especially in enantioselective manner. This review summarizes recent advances in the nickel-catalyzed reductive difunctionalization of alkenes and highlights the enantioselective transformations.1 Introduction2 Nickel-Catalyzed Racemic Reductive Difunctionalization of Alkenes3 Nickel-Catalyzed Enantioselective Reductive Difunctionalization of Alkenes3.1 Diarylation of Alkenes3.2 Aryl-alkenylation of Alkenes3.3 Aryl-monofluoroalkenylation of Alkenes3.4 Reductive Cyclization/Coupling with Alkynyl Bromides or Asymmetric Internal Alkynes3.5 Aryl-alkylation of Alkenes3.6 Aryl-amination of Alkenes4 Summary and Outlook

Palladium-catalyzed domino reactions are advanced tools in achieving various nitrogen-containing heterocycles in an efficient and economical manner due to the reduced number of steps in the process. This review highlights recent advances in domino processes aimed at the synthesis of indole derivatives and polycyclic systems containing the indole nucleus in intra/intra- or intra/intermolecular reactions. In particular, we consider domino processes that involve a double bond in a step of the sequence, which allow the issue of regioselectivity in the cyclization to be faced and overcome. The different sections in this review focus on the synthesis of the indole nucleus and functionalization of the scaffold starting from different substrates that have been identified as activated starting materials, which involve a halogenated moiety or unactivated unsaturated systems. In the former case, the reaction is under Pd(0) catalysis, and in the second case a Pd(II) catalytic species is required and then an oxidant is necessary to reconvert the Pd(0) into the active Pd(II) species. On the other hand, the second method has the advantage that it uses easy available and inexpensive substrates.1 Introduction2 Indole Scaffold Synthesis2.1 Activated Substrates2.2 Unactivated Substrates3 Functionalization of Indole Scaffold3.1 Activated Substrates3.2 Unactivated Substrates4 Conclusions

The electrochemical behavior of stiff dithienylethenes, undergoing double bond isomerization in addition to ring-closure, has been investigated. Electrochromism was observed in almost all cases, with the major pathway being the oxidatively induced cyclization of the open isomers. The influence of the ring size (to lock the reactive antiparallel conformation) as well as substituents (to modulate the redox potential) on the electrocyclization was examined. In the series of derivatives with 6-membered rings, both the E- and the Z-isomer convert to the closed isomer, whereas for the 7-membered rings no cyclization from the E-isomer was observed. For both stiff and normal dithienylethenes bearing benzonitrile substituents an additional and rare reductive electrocyclization was observed. The mechanism underlying both observed electrocyclization pathways has been elucidated.

Recent advances in the diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of piperidine, pyrrolidine, and indolizidine alkaloids, based on the highly stereoselective 1,2-addition to the CN double bond of chiral aldehyde-SAMP/RAMP hydrazones, are described. The enantioselective syntheses of the pyrrolidine alkaloids bgugaine and (2S,12¢R)-2-(12¢-aminotridecyl)-pyrrolidine, a defense alkaloid of the Mexican bean beetle are reported. Furthermore, the SAMP/RAMP-hydrazone method was applied to the syntheses of two 5,8-disubstituted indolizidine alkaloids that have been extracted from neotropical poison-dart frogs. The a-alkylation of aldehyde-SAMP/RAMP hydrazones has been used in the enantioselective synthesis of two epimers of stenusine, a 3-substituted piperidine alkaloid and spreading reagent of the beetle Stenus comma.
