Dearomative annulation reaction of acyl-tethered benzothiazole bisnucleophiles with β'-acetoxy allenoates by switching the Lewis base is developed. The DBU-catalyzed reaction gives benzothiazole-fused 1,4-dihydropyridine carboxylates by (3 + 3) annulation chemoselectively. By contrast, the PR-catalyzed reaction gives benzothiazole-fused azepines by (4 + 3) annulation and cyclopentene carboxylates by (4 + 1) annulation; the ratio of the latter two products depends on the solvent. A possible rationale for the difference in the reactivity, based on the 1,4/1,5-addition of the 2-acyl-tethered benzothiazole to the key phosphonium intermediate, is provided.

An NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) catalyzed [3 + 3] annulation of δ-acetoxy allenoates and enaminones has been developed. This strategy provides a facile and convenient approach for the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridine and 3,4-dihydropyridine-based hexahydroquinoline derivatives (51 examples, up to 77% yield). This protocol features a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and mild reaction conditions.

This study presents a phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of sulfamidate imine-derived 1-azadienes with Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates or allenoates, affording densely functionalized spiro[oxathiazole-cyclopentene] architectures under mild reaction conditions in generally high yields and excellent diastereoselectivities. Through a reductive ring contraction sequence of the spirocyclic thiosulfamide, valuable spirocyclic aziridine derivatives were accessed conveniently via both two-step and one-pot protocols.

Difunctionalization of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds with carbon dioxide (CO) provides expedient access to functionalized carboxylic acids. Compared to the well-developed carboxylation of alkenes or alkynes with CO, the catalytic carboxylation of 1,3-enynes has remained unknown. Herein, we report the first visible-light-promoted 1,4-carbon/carboxylation of 1,3-enynes with malonates and CO, leading to a series of valuable tetrasubstituted 2,3-allenoic acids with high efficiency.

Allenoates are versatile reagents that can be used for numerous (formal) cycloaddition reactions under (chiral) Lewis base catalysis. Most commonly, the catalysts of choice are phosphines, amines, and -heterocyclic carbenes. We have recently established the use of readily available chiral isochalcogenoureas as catalysts for asymmetric (4 + 2)-heterocycloadditions of allenoates with various vinylogous acceptors.

Amides are highly valuable structural units in pharmaceuticals and organic materials. Despite enormous progress in this field, construction of aryl amides is underdeveloped. Here we present a phosphine-mediated arylamidine of α-allylic-substituted allenoates with isocyanates.
