Summary: This study presents a protocol for the highly selective addition reaction of isatin-derived beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-ketoesters with 4-aminoindoles at the C7 position. The reaction, catalyzed by a SPINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acid, yields bisindole derivatives with up to 97% enantiomeric excess. Further biological testing revealed that the products have high cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines.

Summary: In this study, a catalytic conversion of B-X to B-H bond was achieved using a small amount of [Ph3C](+) as an initiator with Et3SiH. This method was successfully applied to six haloboranes. Additionally, C-F bond activation of benzyl fluorides was observed in the presence of arenes, leading to the formation of Friedel-Crafts products using B-H-9-BBN in the presence of Et3SiH. The protocol provides a simple, cost-effective, and mild route to 1,1-diarylmethanes from benzyl fluorides with high yields (up to 99%).

Summary: A novel approach for allylic alkylation using a variety of allylic alcohols under mild conditions and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is described. The use of a simple DES mixture of choline chloride (ChCl) and lactic acid has shown excellent results for a wide range of substrates, providing a greener alternative to previously reported methods. This procedure also demonstrates the trapping of allylic carbocations with indole derivatives and the successful use of challenging nucleophiles such as amides, carbamates, azides, and sulfonamides.

Summary: This study demonstrates that HFIP greatly expands the scope of the Bronsted acid-catalyzed hydroarylation of enamides, and acts as a slow-release reservoir for the key cationic intermediate. The reaction is fast and practical, and can prevent the oligomerization of the substrate.

Summary: Unprotected, alpha,beta-disubstitutedtryptaminesand phenethylamines can be obtained through a one-pot, metal-free sequence involving in situ formation of aziridinium salts and subsequent Friedel-Crafts reaction with electron-rich (hetero)-arenes. The use of hexafluoroisopropanol as the solvent greatly facilitates both steps. This method is effective for variously substituted indoles and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, as well as cyclic and acyclic alkenes, exhibiting stereospecificity for both (E)- and (Z)-1,2-disubstituted alkenes. Additionally, a diamine can be synthesized via one-pot morpholine addition to an aziridinium salt.

Summary: Here we report an asymmetric organocatalyzed method for the Friedel-Crafts reaction between activated phenols and trihaloacetaldehydes. A screening of 41 compounds identified a catalyst structure based on 3,5-dinitrobenzamide of 9-amino-epi-cinchonidine as the lead catalytic molecule. Under optimized conditions, the catalyst provided trihalohydroxyalkylated adducts in good yields and with high enantiomeric ratios. The reaction scope was determined on 29 entries and several follow-up transformations of the enantioenriched products were accomplished.

Summary: Chiral transition metal complexes with privileged ligands are efficient catalysts for various asymmetric organic transformations. Transition metal complexes of C1-symmetric pyrrolidine-based ligands have been widely used in asymmetric organic reactions. However, a comprehensive review article on the transition metal complexes of chiral C1-symmetric pyrrolidine-based ligands derived from (L)-proline has not been published.
