annulation with glutaconate to provide straightforward access to phenanthridine‐8‐carboxylates and hydrophenanthridine‐8‐carboxylates under mild aerobic conditions. In this domino transformation, two rings and three bonds were successively created. A mechanism involving tandem [3+3]‐annulation/intramolecularcyclization/ demethoxycarbonylation/aerobic oxidative aromatization sequence was proposed.
Highly Enantioselective and Regioselective Conjugate Addition of Nitromethane to 1,5-Diarylpenta-2,4-dien-1-ones Using Bifunctional Cinchona Organocatalysts
A general and efficient asymmetric organocatalytic 1,4-Michael addition of nitromethane to 1,5-diarylpenta-2,4-dien-1-ones (cinnamylideneacetophenones) catalyzed by 9-thiourea-9-(deoxy)-epi-hydroquinine has been developed. The reactions afforded excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99%), high yields (up to 97%), and exclusive regioselectivity.

Reported herein is a chiral Brønsted acid-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecularallylicaminationreaction, allowing facile access to a range of biologically interesting chiral 2-substituted hydroquinolines in up to 90% yield and with up to 93% ee. Furthermore, a significant effect of an N-protecting group was observed in this asymmetric process.
