: This review collects for the first time enantioselective one-pot processes promoted by green chiral zinc catalysts. It illustrates how much these cheap, non-toxic and environmentally benign catalysts allow unprecedented asymmetric domino and tandem reactions of many types to be achieved, allowing a direct access to a wide variety of very complex chiral molecules.

Abstract The combination of one-pot methodologies to asymmetric organocatalysis allow a green and direct access to many types of complex highly functionalized chiral products, including important key intermediates in total syntheses of important bioactive compounds. A series of chiral organocatalysts have already been successfully applied to such syntheses. This report collects major developments in the total synthesis of biologically active products based on the use of enantioselective organocatalytic domino/tandem reactions as key steps. It is divided into two parts dealing successively with reactions based on the use of proline-derived catalysts and other organocatalysts.

<p>Chiral molecules with their defined 3-D structures are of paramount importance for the study of chemical biology and drug discovery. Having rich structural diversity and unique stereoisomerism, chiral molecules offer a large chemical space that can be explored for the design of new therapeutic agents.<sup>1</sup> Practically, chiral architectures are usually prepared from organometallic and organocatalytic processes where a transition metal or an organocatalyst is tailor-made for desired reactions. As a result, developing a method that enables rapid assembly of chiral complex molecules under metal- and organocatalyst-free condition represents a daunting challenge. Here we developed a straightforward route to create a chiral 3-D structure from 2-D structures and an amino acid without any chiral catalyst. The center of this research is the design of a <a>special chiral spiroimidazolidinone cyclohexadienone intermediate</a>, a merger of a chiral reactive substrate with multiple nucleophillic/electrophillic sites and a transient organocatalyst. <a>This unique substrate-catalyst (“subcatalyst”) dual role of the intermediate enhances </a><a>the coordinational proximity of the chiral substrate and catalyst</a> in the key Aza-Michael/Michael cascade resulting in a substantial steric discrimination and an excellent overall diastereoselectivity. Whereas the “subcatalyst” (hidden catalyst) is not present in the reaction’s initial components, which renders a chiral catalyst-free process, it is strategically produced to promote sequential self-catalyzed reactions. The success of this methodology will pave the way for many efficient preparations of chiral complex molecules and aid for the quest to create next generation of therapeutic agents.</p>

: An efficient and facial one-pot synthesis of 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrobenzo[g]quinoline- 2,5,10(1H)-triones was developed for the first time. The process proceeded via the three-component cyclocondensation of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone with Meldrum’s acid and substituted benzaldehydes under green conditions. The fused 3,4-dihydropyridin-2(1H)- one-ring naphthoquinones have been synthesized with good to high yields in refluxing ethanol as a green reaction medium. This protocol is simple and effective as well as does not involve the assistance of the catalyst, additive, or hazardous solvents.

A high-yielding cyclocondensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin, phenylglyoxal monohydrate, and heteroarylamines proceeds without catalysis, which gives novel functionalized furo[3,2-c]coumarins and heteroarylamino alkylation of coumarin products in acetonitrile under reflux, is reported for the first time. This tandem process involves sequentially an aldol condensation, Michael addition, a ring closure, and dehydration reaction.

(S)-3-Methyl-1, 1-diphenylbutane-1, 2-diamine has been found to be a mild and effective organocatalyst for one-pot 4-components synthesis of 1, 2, 4, 5-tetra-substituted imidazoles. The key benefits of this protocol is high yielding, cost effectiveness, easy purification and above all, environmentally benign.

AbstractFor the first time, carborane complexes containing a B(4)–S bond were obtained directly by heating mononuclear Pd-B(4)-bound carborane complexes. A possible mechanism involved in sulfur atom migration is presented in which the leaving group, pyridine, benzyl isocyanide or PPh3, is demonstrated to be the trigger of the reaction process. In this work, efficient routes are developed through one-pot reactions to prepare B(4)-S carborane derivatives.
