Summary: A convenient method has been developed for the regioselective synthesis of allyl- and vinylsilyl alcohols from a common precursor by selecting suitable reaction conditions. These alcohols have been used in silyl-Prins cyclizations to prepare disubstituted oxygenated heterocycles in a one-pot sequential reaction. The reaction outcomes are highly dependent on the starting alkenylsilyl alcohol and reaction conditions, with various competitive pathways observed. However, the use of vinylsilyl alcohols has shown promising results in the preparation of differentially substituted cis-2,6-dihydropyrans.

Summary: Biocatalytic oxidation of acylated hydroxylamines enables selective introduction of nitrogen functionalities by activating allylic C-H bonds. Utilizing laccases or oxidase/peroxidase couple with air as the oxidant, acylnitroso species are generated under mild aqueous conditions. These reactive intermediates undergo C-N bond formation through an ene-type mechanism, providing high yields in both intramolecular and intermolecular enzymatic aminations. Investigations on different pathways and labelling studies provide insight into the promiscuity of oxidoreductases as catalysts for nitroso-based transformations.

Summary: This study proposes the synthesis of biologically relevant hexahydro-1H-pyrano[3,4-c]chromenes through a tandem Prins/Friedels-Crafts process catalyzed by BF3.Et2O. The diastereoselectivity of the process is controlled by the geometry of the homoallylic alcohol. Additionally, high yields and good diastereoselectivity of the Prins product can be achieved when the reaction is promoted by AlCl3 as Lewis acid in the presence of an external nucleophile.

Summary: A variety of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur heterocyclic compounds are synthesized through one-pot multicomponent reactions. The reactions exhibit high diastereo- and regioselectivity, resulting in the formation of C-C, C-N, C-O, and C-S bonds in a single step. These procedures can be extended for the synthesis of biologically active molecules and natural products.

Summary: A simple and environmentally friendly method for preparing S-heterocycles using aromatic thiols and diols in cyclization reactions with H2O as a byproduct was described. The Sc(OTf)(3)-catalyzed dehydrative cyclizations of aromatic thiols and diols allowed for the synthesis of thiopyran and thiophene derivatives, with control experiments providing insights into the reaction pathway.

Summary: Sequential anionic intramolecular cyclizations and modelling were used to access unusual fused heterocyclic frameworks in excellent yields for the first time. Regioselectivity in the cyclizations was controlled by exploiting stereoelectronic effects via n(C-)->pi*((Ph)) interactions, and modelling studies provided insights into the reaction scope.

Summary: This study investigated the different reactivity of trienones under Lewis and Bronsted acids catalysis, resulting in novel Nazarov cyclization tandem reactions terminating oxyallyl cations by ene-type reactions. The bicyclic spiro compounds produced were shown to be useful intermediates for further functionalization. Furthermore, the tandem Nazarov/ene cyclization was found to be preferred over a Nazarov/[3+2] tandem reaction for all substrates, regardless of chain length.

Summary: Halogenative annulation of alkyne-tethered N- and O-containing arenes is a general strategy for constructing various halogenated N- and O-heterocycles. This method provides valuable synthetic building blocks carrying C(sp2)- halide functional groups, which are useful for cross-coupling reactions and other transformations. This Short Review examines different halogenative annulation methods for constructing aryl-fused halogenated N- and O-heterocycles, with a focus on recent technologies and the roles of halogenating agents.

Summary: In this study, a tandem synthesis of various CF3Se-containing heterocyclic compounds was developed using Tf2O as the catalyst and trifluoromethyl selenoxides as the electrophilic trifluoromethylselenolation reagents. The process is characterized by its mild conditions, easy operation, and good functional group compatibility. A variety of alkynes were successfully transformed into CF3Se-containing indoles, benzofurans, benzothiophenes, isoquinolines, and chromenes in good yields.

Summary: A variety of azaheterocycle-fused piperidines and pyrrolidines with CF3 and CHF2 functionalities were obtained using CF3SO2Na and CHF2SO2Na through visible light photocatalysis. This method involves a radical cascade cyclization through tandem tri- and difluoromethylation-arylation of unactivated alkenes. Benzimidazole, imidazole, theophylline, purine, and indole could serve as applicable anchors, enriching the structural diversity of piperidine and pyrrolidine derivatives. The method is characterized by its mild, additive-free, and transition metal-free conditions.

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.
