Summary: In this study, an enantioselective copper-catalyzed borylative cyclization was reported for the assembly of privileged pyrroloquinazolinone motifs. The reaction demonstrated high enantio- and diastereocontrol, yielding products with quaternary stereocenters. The utility of the products was further demonstrated through additional manipulations.

Summary: The study presents a novel method for the synthesis of monocyclic nine-membered N,O-heterocycles through a synergistic palladium/rhodium dual catalytic cycloaddition of vinylpropylene carbonates with N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles. Furthermore, the resulting oxazonines can be transformed into cis-fused [4.3.0] bicyclic compounds via a transannular Alder-ene rearrangement.

Summary: We report the efficient synthesis of bridged bicyclic nitrogen heterocycles using ene reductases (EREDs) and iridium photocatalysis. The reaction requires oxygen and produces oxidized flavin, allowing selective dehydrogenation of cyclohexanone derivatives and subsequent intramolecular aza-Michael addition. The resulting compounds have potential applications in drug discovery.

Summary: An important goal in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry is to efficiently and affordably synthesize structurally diverse and complex molecules from readily available starting materials. In this study, a protocol for the synthesis of benzofuran fused azocine derivatives and spiro-cyclopentanone benzofurans has been developed. The method involves sequential catalysis with chiral H-bonding catalyst and Lewis base catalyst. The products exhibit high yields and high stereo- and enantioselectivities.

Summary: This paper presents a highly enantio- and diastereoselective tandem transformation method, using Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to heterocyclic Michael acceptors, followed by one-pot trapping of in situ formed enolates with stabilized carbocations or their equivalents. This method allows the installation of structurally attractive substituents on heterocyclic compounds.

Summary: This review retrospectively considers the pivotal achievements and recent advances in catalytic asymmetric aza-DAR reported up to 2020, showcasing their potency for enantioselective synthesis of useful chiral piperidine, quinoline, pyridazine, oxazine, and oxadiazine derivatives. The data are systematized based on key electron transfer modes and attainable heterocyclic products, with significant attention to activation strategies and plausible reaction pathways over stereoselective cyclization processes. The review contains 310 references and 122 synthetic schemes.

Summary: The enantioselective sulfoxidation of diaryl-type sulfides was achieved using a chiral manganese porphyrin complex with a remote molecular recognition site. Despite the minor size difference between two substituents at the prostereogenic sulfur center, hydrogen bonding facilitated the formation of chiral sulfoxides with high enantioselectivities. The quinolone lactam not only assists in precise substrate orientation, but also serves as a promising starting point for further derivatization.

Summary: The marriage of heterocyclic compounds with ferrocene has been a fruitful field of research, with several ferrocene-embedded heterocyclic compounds reported in recent years. The synergistic combination of properties from both heterocyclic and metallacyclic motifs in fused systems has led to interesting applications, particularly in asymmetric catalysis.

Summary: A facile synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines was achieved by a photoinduced formal [4+2] cycloaddition reaction, with a new Ir-III complex photosensitizer, a thiourea, and an oxidant acting cooperatively. The reaction enables the synthesis of a wide variety of tetrahydroquinolines with high trans/cis diastereoselectivity (>99:1) and constructing contiguous stereogenic centers, while demonstrating a chemoselective cleavage of an acyclic imide auxiliary.

Summary: The first asymmetric (3+3)-cycloaddition of ortho-substituted phenyl nitrones with aryl cyclopropane carbaldehydes has been achieved using secondary amine catalysts. While other ortho-substituents gave 1,2-oxazinanes, ortho-hydroxy compounds provided a novel class of tetrahydrochromeno-1,2-oxazine cores through rare 1,3-aryl migration followed by cyclization. An unusual type of asymmetric approach was also discovered.

Summary: This study demonstrates an expeditious approach to synthesizing planar chiral sulfur-based scaffolds from cheap and commercial [2.2]paracyclophane hydrocarbon in two operational steps. The introduction of sulfur atom at specific benzylic position was achieved through a reductive sulfanylation reaction under two complementary reaction conditions, and the study also included the development of a highly efficient resolution approach using HPLC.

Summary: Starting from (R)-Ugi's amine, diastereoselective lithiation followed by Ar'PCl2 and then Ar''MgBr led to the generation of single diastereoisomers of PPFA ligand derivatives. The derived CuCl complexes showed competent catalyst precursors for enantioselective conjugate addition reactions, avoiding the isolation of air-sensitive phosphine intermediates.

Summary: Reaction of methyl-2-(2-formylphenyl)acetate with primary amines in a reductive amination/cyclisation process resulted in N-substituted 1,4-dihydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones. Different reductants and deprotection methods have certain effects on the diastereoselectivity and structure of the synthesized 1,4-dihydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones.
