Article Abstract
Double aza-Michael addition (DAM) has become an emerging strategy for the construction of two carbon-nitrogen bonds in a single step, which can significantly simplify the synthesis of N-heterocycles. Hitherto, their asymmetric catalytic genre remains unattempted. Herein, we describe the judicious design of an organocatalytic enantioselective desymmetric double aza-Michael addition cascade to access a series of functionalized fused morpholines with excellent yields and diastereo- and enantioselectivities. A one-pot telescopic synthesis was demonstrated for a bridged triheterocyclic compound. In addition, scale-up synthesis and various attractive postsynthetic modifications of the title products amplify the significance of the current methodology.

A modular and streamlined assembly of diverse indolinylazepinone pseudonatural products (PNPs) has been established through post-Ugi gold-catalyzed Conia-ene cyclization/aza-Michael addition cascades. Mechanistic studies revealed that cationic gold acts as a unique soft Lewis acid to furnish this protocol through double activation. This approach facilitates chemo- and regioselective access to target PNPs in moderate to good yields with remarkable anticancer activity.

Biocatalysis is now a well-established branch of catalysis and the growing toolbox of natural, evolved and designer enzymes is enabling chemistry previously deemed inaccessible. However, most enzyme methodologies have been developed for functional group interconversions, such as the conversion of a ketone into an amine or alcohol, and do not result in the generation of significant 3D molecular complexity. The application of enzyme-triggered reaction cascade methodologies has the potential to transform simple substrates into complex sp-rich molecules in one step.

Sarglamides A-E were identified as a structurally new class of alkaloids with potential application for inflammation-associated diseases. Reported is the first asymmetric total synthesis of sarglamides A, C, D, E, and F within 7 steps, featuring an intermolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition of ()-phellandrene and 1,4-benzoquinone and intramolecular (-)Michael addition to construct the tetracyclic core of sarglamides. Importantly, our work demonstrated that the hypothetic Diels-Alder reaction of α-phellandrene with dienophile toussaintine C (or analogues) originally proposed as a biosynthetic pathway was not viable under non-enzymatic conditions.

An anion-relay double aza-Michael-Michael addition strategy has been reported for the synthesis of intricate scaffolds from enone-tethered cyclohexadienones and primary amines. This method discloses the base-catalyzed synthesis of highly valued bridged aza-tricyclic frameworks with a high level of product selectivity and stereoselectivity. Gram scale synthesis and synthetic transformation were shown to afford structurally diverse bridged aza-polycyclic amines.
