Summary: The Diels-Alder (DA) reaction and hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction are powerful methods for constructing carbocycles and heterocycles. This study presents an integrated building block that combines both DA and HDA reactions, utilizing triazenyl dienes to undergo the DA reaction and the newly released alkene moiety and triazene to engage in the HDA reaction.

Summary: A highly enantioselective catalytic system for exo-Diels-Alder reactions was developed using bispyrrolidine diboronates(BPDB). Activated by various Lewis or Bronsted acids, BPDB can catalyze highly stereoselective asymmetric exo-Diels-Alder reactions. The catalyst can also distinguish between different binding sites to achieve highly regioselective reactions.

Summary: This study introduces a new chiral-at-iron catalyst that can achieve high enantioselectivities in asymmetric reactions by increasing steric hindrance at the catalytic site. The catalyst was applied to the inverse electron demand hetero-Diels-Alder reaction and showed excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. Other electron rich dienophiles, such as vinyl azide, are also suitable for this catalyst.

Summary: Cycloaddition reactions, particularly Diels-Alder reactions, are regarded as powerful methodologies for building carbon-carbon bonds. The inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels-Alder reactions have been a significant breakthrough for synthesizing heterocyclic compounds. Among them, the organocatalytic enantioselective version has been extensively studied due to its asymmetric construction of diversely functionalized scaffolds under green chemistry conditions.

Summary: Chiral bis-oxalamide/rare-earth metal complexes catalyze the asymmetric inverse-electron-demand oxa-hetero-Diels-Alder reactions. The reactions produce optically active functionalized dihydropyran compounds with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The coordination mode of chiral bis-oxalamide with Sc(III) and the regio- and stereocontrol were investigated.

Summary: 1,3-Diamine-derived catalysts were synthesized and utilized in asymmetric Mannich reactions of ketones. The Mannich products with high enantioselectivities were obtained under mild conditions through catalysis by one of the 1,3-diamine derivatives in the presence of acids. Bond formation primarily occurred at the less-substituted α-position of the ketone carbonyl group. The primary and tertiary amines of the 1,3-diamine derivative cooperatively acted for the catalysis.

Summary: 2-Bromo, 3-bromothiophene, 2,5-dibromothiophene, 3,4-dibromothiophene, and perbrominated thiophene were oxidized under different conditions to form thiophene S,S-dioxide. Depending on the substitution, sulfone was obtained when the hindered thiophene was used. However, monosubstituted thiophenes could not be transformed into sulfone due to the reactivity of the sulfoxide intermediate, which led to dimerization. The structures were confirmed through the obtaining of crystals. The oxidation of 3,4-dibromothiophene could either result in the formation of cycloadduct or the isolation of sulfone, which could further evolve into benzothiophene sulfone.

Summary: Cyclohept-1-ene-1-carbaldehyde undergoes photoinduced E & RARR; Z isomerization at & lambda; =350 nm. The ring strain facilitates various reactions, including Diels-Alder cycloadditions, [3 + 2] cycloadditions, and enereactions. The products obtained are trans-fusedat the cycloheptane core and yield up to 82%. Single crystal X-ray analyses confirm the structure and relative configuration. In the presence of BF3 and 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene, cyclohept-1-ene-1-carbaldehyde undergoes a stereoselective rearrangement to form a tricyclic ketone (87%).

Summary: The oxa-Diels-Alder reaction is a method for constructing six-membered oxacycles, which are commonly found in pharmaceuticals and natural products. Organocatalysis plays a key role in inducing stereoselectivities in this reaction by forming chiral intermediates or selectively activating suitable reactants.

Summary: In this study, the mechanism of Aza-Diels-Alder reaction catalyzed by N-heterocyclic imidazole halogen bond donors was explored using density functional theory. It was found that the formation of halogen bond between the catalysts and the imine can lower the energy barrier of the reaction and facilitate electron rearrangement. The stronger electron-withdrawing ability of the group bonded to the iodine atom of catalysts, the better the catalytic activity. These findings are valuable for the development of halogen bond donor catalysts in organic reactions.

Summary: Diels-Alder reactions of 2-pyrones with alkenes can form highly functionalized [2,2,2]-bicyclic lactones under mild conditions, which have been widely utilized in natural product synthesis. Although several catalytic asymmetric strategies have been realized, current research in this area is still relatively underdeveloped. Recent advances in enantioselective inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions with Lewis acid catalysis are reviewed.

Summary: The structures of DNA can be used as chiral scaffolds for DNA-based asymmetric catalysis. However, the complex structures of DNA hybrid catalysts often hinder the understanding of their structure-activity relationship. Nucleotide-based catalysts provide a promising approach to obtain fine structural information and understand catalytic mechanisms. In this study, a cyclic dinucleotide (c-di-AMP) and 1,10-phenanthroline copper(II) nitrate (Cu(phen)(NO3)2) were assembled to form a c-di-AMP-based catalyst (c-di-AMP/Cu(phen)(NO3)2), which exhibited high yields and enantioselectivity in enantioselective fluorination reactions in water.
