A novel palladium-catalyzed synthesis of substituted 3-methylene-3H-indoles from readily accessible alkynylimines has been developed. A wide variety of 2-fluoroalkyl-3-methylene-3H-indoles were synthesized in moderate to good yields through this cascade carbopalladation/CHactivation process. This reaction can also be expanded to non-fluorinated substrates.
A new synthesis of alpha-quaternary alkynyl amino esters and allenoates was developed utilizing umpolung N-addition to beta,gamma-alkynyl alpha-imino esters followed by regioselective acylation. The reaction exhibits broad substrate generality and unique regioselectivity. Moreover, synthesis of alpha-quaternary alkynyl amino esters was also carried out via oxidation of the intermediary enolate followed by alkylation.

We developed a simple and convenient copper-catalyzed method for the synthesis of quinoline-2-carboxylate derivatives through sequential intermolecular addition of alkynes onto imines and subsequent intramolecular ring closure by arylation. The efficiency of this system allowed the reactions to be carried out at room temperature.

Asymmetric synthesis of trans-alkenyl alpha-amino esters was realized by chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of beta,gamma-alkynyl alpha-imino esters. Utilizing Hantzsch esters as the hydrogen donor, both the alkyne and imine moieties of beta,gamma-alkynyl alpha-imino esters were reduced to afford trans-alkenyl alpha-amino esters with up to 96% ee.
