amount of InCl3 and aceticanhydride remarkably promotes the Knoevenagel condensation of a variety of aldehydes and activated methylene compounds. This catalytic system accommodates aromatic aldehydes containing a variety of electron-donating and -withdrawing groups, heteroaromatic aldehydes, conjugate aldehydes, and aliphatic aldehydes. Central to successfully driving the condensation series is the formation

In this work, the one-step diastereoselective synthesis of cis-2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofuransviaLewis acid catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloadditions of donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes and aldehydes is described. The scope and limitations with respect to both reaction partners are provided. A detailed examination of the mechanism has been performed, including stereochemical analysis and electronic profiling
the addition to various unsaturated carbonyl compounds, while calcium triflimide [Ca(NTf2)2] efficiently catalyzed the addition to nitroolefins. Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole and its derivatives with a variety of electron-deficient alkenes catalyzed by Mg and Ca salts has been studied. The dependence of the results on the nature of the starting olefins, substituents on indole, and Michael acceptors
stereoselective [2+2] cyclization has been developed, providing a concise protocol to the direct construction of diaryl‐substituted cyclobutanes in up to 99% yield with up to >95/5 dr. Meanwhile, the enantioselective version of this reaction has also been achieved, leading to a series of optically active diaryl‐substituted cyclobutanes with up to 94% ee.

the utilization of these operators in intermolecular radical–radical arylations, while avoiding conjugate addition/dimerization reactivity that is commonly encountered in enone-based photoredox chemistry. This reactivity relies on tertiary amines that serve to both activate the arylidene malonate for single-electron reduction by a proton-coupledelectrontransfer mechanism as well as serve as a terminal
