The highly enantioselective Michael addition of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones to nitroalkenes, promoted by binaphthyl-modified chiral bifunctional organocatalysts is described. This reaction afforded the chiral functionalized naphthoquinones in high yields (81–95%) and excellent enantioselectivities (91–98% ee) under low catalyst loading (1 mol %).

Indole is one of the utmost important heterocycles as it is an essential nucleus of many pharmaceutical compounds. Its aza-Michael reaction, however, is underdeveloped because of the moiety’s inherent characteristics. Here, a potassium hydroxide catalysed intermolecular aza-Michael reaction of 3-cyanoindole with aromatic enones is described. A variety of chalcone derivatives are well tolerated and afford the corresponding N-adducts in moderate to high yields. The use of a cheap catalyst, low catalyst loading, mild reaction temperature, and good substrate tolerance make this procedure a direct and facile method for the preparation of N1-functionalized indoles.

AbstractA new tertiary amine-squaramide organocatalyst has been developed and applied to the asymmetric Michael addition of cyclic diketones to β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters. The catalyst system performed well with a low catalyst loading of 1 mol% under mild reaction conditions. A series of synthetically and pharmaceutically useful chiral bicyclic compounds were obtained in high yields (up to 97%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee). Furthermore, this catalytic system can be used efficiently in large-scale reactions with the yields and enantioselectivities being maintained.

: An efficient synthesis of 4-arylidene-3-alkylisoxazole-5(4H)-ones has been implemented via the three-component cyclocondensation of aryl(heteroaryl)aldehydes with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and β-ketoesters. The potassium 2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-1-ide has been introduced as the new organocatalyst to facilitate of this heterocyclization. In the current process, three starting materials, including substituted benzaldehydes/heterocyclic aromatic aldehydes, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and ethyl acetoacetate/propyl acetoacetate/butyryl acetoacetate have been successfully used for the synthesize of the number of substituted isoxazole-5(4H)-ones in good to high yields in ethylene glycol as a green reaction medium at 80 ºC. The low catalyst loading is also a main advantage over the some reported catalysts.

A rosin-derived bifunctional squaramide catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition of malononitrile with chalcones was discovered. This protocol provides a methodology for the facile synthesis of chiral γ-cyano carbonyl compounds in high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield and 90% ee) with a lower catalyst loading (0.3 mol%). The predominant R-configured adducts were obtained by this organocatalystic reaction, according to the experimental findings.

AbstractFe3O4@SiO2-L-proline nanoparticles have been used as an effective catalyst for the preparation of pyrimidines by three-component reactions of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid, aromatic aldehydes and 4-methyl aniline or 4-methoxy aniline under reflux condition in ethanol. Fe3O4@SiO2-L-proline nanoparticles have been characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray (EDS), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and FT-IR spectroscopy. This method provides several advantages including, the reusability of the catalyst, low catalyst loading, atom economy, short reaction times and high yields of products.

Gold(I) complexes of a new chiral phosphoric acid functionalized phosphine of the CPA-Phos series enable the enantioselective multicomponent reactions between aldehydes, hydroxylamines and cyclic yne-enones, leading to 3,4-dihydro-1H-furo[3,4-d][1,2]oxazines. This represents the first example of highly enantioselective multicomponent reaction in gold(I) catalysis. The reactions proceed at low catalyst loading, provide high yields, total diastereoselectivity and enantiomeric excesses up to 99%. Silver-free conditions can be applied. The method has a very broad scope, as it applies to both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and hydroxylamines, to a variety of cyclic yne-enones, as well as to yne-enone derived oximes. DFT calculations are reported that enlighten the enantiocontrol pathway.

<p>The first example of non-noble metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic <i>N</i>-heterocycles is reported. A new chiral pincer manganese catalyst showed outstanding catalytic activity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of a wide range of quinolines, affording high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% <i>ee</i>). A turnover number of 3840 was reached at a low catalyst loading (S/C=4000), which was competitive with the activity of most effective noble metal catalysts for this reaction. The high reactivity of the manganese catalyst and a precise regulation of the enantioselectivity were ensured by a dual “N–H” effect of the ligand structure.<u></u></p>
