Notwithstanding the common use of boronic acids in catalysis, the design and synthesis of
efficient chiral boronic acids remains a formidable challenge. Herein we disclose a rational …

The Piancatelli reaction, which is the rearrangement of 2-furylcarbinol to cyclopentenone,
involves a key furanoxonium ion intermediate and a furan ring opening-4π electrocyclization …

Boronic acid catalysis has emerged as a mild method for promoting a wide variety of
reactions. It has been proposed that the mode of catalysis involves Lewis acid or covalent …

1-Azaspirocyclic compounds have gained attention in chemistry and drug discovery fields. In
this manuscript, the development of a Pd-catalyzed dearomative azaspirocyclization of …

For the first time, an efficient one-pot method for the construction of an angularly fused 5–6–
5 aza-tricyclic framework has been developed in a highly stereoselective manner. This …

High-value 1-azaspirocyclic scaffolds have been made from simple and readily accessible
furan precursors in a single operation. The protocol is a one-pot sequence using highly …

With a double objective to upgrade biobased 5-HMF and to access to original spirocycles
via an intramolecular aza-Piancatelli reaction, a multistep sequence was designed toward …

Catalytic carbene‐transfer reactions constitute a class of highly useful transformations in
organic synthesis. Although catalysts based on a range of transition‐metals have been …

Abstract A series of 4‐sulfoximinocyclopent‐2‐en‐1‐ones was prepared in 35 to 99% yield
through a calcium (II)‐catalyzed aza‐Piancatelli reaction, including in enantioenriched form …
