Summary: The synthesis of complex spiro{pyrrolidine-3,1'-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole} skeleton under mild conditions is presented, with the order of addition of a primary amine and two equivalents of corresponding maleimide being crucial for high yields. The mechanism was studied by simple tests, revealing the Michael type addition of the amine onto the maleimide as a key step. Interesting scaffold hybrids were prepared through sequential addition of two different maleimides, and a more intriguing architecture was obtained through a metathesis reaction between allylic residues in the molecule precursor.

Summary: A 1,3-cycloaddition reaction between 2-(tert-butyl)-8H-isoquinolino[4,3,2-de]phenanthridin-9-ium chloride and Ni-II norcorrole in the presence of base has been demonstrated to yield a family of chiral derivatives fused with pyrrole subunits of the macrocycle. Dehydrogenation of the cycloaddition products leads to dibenzoullazine ortho-fused antiaromatic porphyrinoids.

Summary: We present a regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of novel pyrrolidine-fused spiro-dihydrophosphacoumarins through intermolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. This method complements existing approaches and provides an easy way to obtain otherwise inaccessible derivatives. Additionally, we describe the unprecedented pathway of the reaction between 4-hydroxycoumarin and azomethine ylides. The most potent compound showed 2.6-fold higher anti-cancer activity against the HuTu 80 cell line compared to 5-fluorouracil, with a selectivity index > 32.

Summary: Asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition reactions are interesting methods for synthesizing enantioenriched pyrrolidines with up to four stereocentres. Pyrrolidines are important compounds in biology and organocatalytic applications. This review summarizes the recent advancements in the enantioselective synthesis of pyrrolidines using metal catalysis, focusing on the [3+2] cycloadditions of azomethine ylides. The reactions are organized based on the type of metal catalysis and the complexity of the dipolarophile, highlighting their advantages and limitations.

Summary: A copper-catalyzed tandem reaction was reported for the synthesis of oxapolycyclic frameworks via intermolecular ylide formation and intramolecular cycloaddition, providing moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. The reaction creates two C-C bonds and one C-O bond, with five stereocentres including two all-carbon quaternary centres. Late-stage diversification of products can be achieved through chemoselective substitutions.

Summary: This study describes an unprecedented Ag-catalyzed exo'-selective [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between imino esters and 4-benzylidene-2,3-dioxopyrrolidines. The reaction, efficiently catalyzed by Ag/(R, S-p)-ThioClickFerrophos (TCF), allows for the construction of spirobipyrrolidine scaffolds with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. It is the first example of a silver-catalyzed exo'-selective asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition and the first exo'-selective spirobipyrrolidine construction process using imino esters. The broad substrate scope of this reaction enables the synthesis of diverse spirobipyrrolidine derivatives, which are of interest for drug discovery. Mechanistic studies suggest that the unusual exo'-selectivity of this reaction is due to a stepwise Michael addition/Mannich sequence with bond rotation, rather than epimerization following the common exo- or endo-selective cycloaddition.

Summary: Experimental and theoretical studies have investigated the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of alpha-fluoro-alpha, beta-unsaturated arylketones and azomethine ylides. The reaction proceeds in a diastereodivergent fashion, with the endo-selective pathway achieved using an Ag(I) catalyst. Theoretical DFT calculations suggest that the coordination between the silver atom and the carbonyl oxygen atom of the enone drives the endo-selectivity.

Summary: A novel synthesis method for spirooxindoles engrafted with pyrazole skeleton was reported, using a one-pot multicomponent [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction transformation. The regio- and diastereo-selectivity of the spiroheterocycles were elucidated through X-ray diffraction analysis, revealing the impact of short distance contacts on molecular packing and crystal stability. DFT calculations and NMR spectra analysis indicated the polar nature and electronic properties of the compounds, with good correlations between calculated and experimental data.

Summary: Myelofibrosis is a life-threatening blood cancer, and current drugs only provide symptomatic relief without altering the course of the disease. Inhibition of thrombopoietin, an important cytokine for platelet production, shows promise in slowing or stopping MF progression. Computational modeling and rational residue substitutions have identified a lead cyclic peptide, 48, as essential for activity at the c-Mpl receptor. These peptides are significant tools for in vivo analysis and a step towards disease-modifying therapies for MF.
