Abstract
In this study, we present a novel and environmentally sustainable protocol for the γ-hydrofunctionalization of N-allenyl compounds using various heteronucleophiles catalyzed solely by simple Brønsted acids. The method displays remarkable attributes, highlighting its sustainability, efficiency, regio- and stereoselectivity, as well as its versatile applicability to diverse heteroatom-containing enamides. Notably, our approach eliminates the need for metal catalysts and toxic solvents, representing a significant advancement in greener chemistry practices. We demonstrate the broad scope of our protocol by successfully scaling up reactions to gram-scale syntheses, underscoring its robustness for potential industrial implementation. The resulting γ-heterosubstituted enamides offer new possibilities for further synthetic transformations, yielding highly functionalized compounds with diverse applications. Mechanistic investigations reveal the pivotal role of CSA as a catalyst, enabling alcohol addition via a covalent activation mode.

Abstract
α-Functionalization of carbonyl compounds is an important reaction in synthetic chemistry. However, the development of novel synthetic strategies to realize this reaction is challenging. This study describes the α-indolmethylation of carbonyl compounds using cooperative copper, amine, and hydrogen-bond catalysis. This reaction provides a novel and efficient strategy for developing indolmethylated carbonyl compounds by deaminative coupling of gramines.

Abstract
A chiral aldehyde/palladium catalysis-enabled asymmetric α-allylation of NH2-unprotected amino acid esters with 1,3-disubstituted allyl acetates is described in this work. With the utilization of different chiral phosphine ligands, both the anti- and syn-selective allylation reactions are achieved enantioselectively. A series of α,α-disubstituted amino acid esters bearing two adjacent chiral centers are produced in moderate-to-excellent yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities.

Abstract
The combined catalytic systems derived from organocatalysts and transition metals exhibit powerful activation and stereoselective-control abilities in asymmetric catalysis. This work describes a highly efficient chiral aldehyde-nickel dual catalytic system and its application for the direct asymmetric α-propargylation reaction of amino acid esters with propargylic alcohol derivatives. Various structural diversity α,α-disubstituted non-proteinogenic α-amino acid esters are produced in good-to-excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Furthermore, a stereodivergent synthesis of natural product NP25302 is achieved, and a reasonable reaction mechanism is proposed to illustrate the observed stereoselectivity based on the results of control experiments, nonlinear effect investigation, and HRMS detection.

Abstract
The multicomponent reaction of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes, known as A3 coupling, yields propargylamines, a valuable organic scaffold, and has received significant interest and attention in the last years. In order to fully realise the potential of the metal-based catalytic protocols that facilitate this transformation, we summarise substrates, in situ and well-characterised synthetic methods that provide this scaffold and attempt a monumental classification considering several variables (Metal, Coordinating atom(s), Ligand type and name, in-situ or well-characterised, co-catalyst, catalyst and ligand Loading (mol%), solvent, volume, atmosphere, temperature, microwave, time, yield, selectivity (e.e. d.r.), substrate name, functionality, loading (amines, aldehydes, alkynes), and use of molecular sieves). This pioneering work creates a valuable database that contains 2376 entries and allows us to produce graphs and better visualise their impact on the reaction.

Abstract
The combination of a peptide catalyst and a gold catalyst is presented for enantioselective addition reactions between branched aldehydes and allenamides. The two catalysts act in concert to provide γ,δ‐enamide aldehydes bearing a fully substituted, benzylic stereogenic center – a structural motif common in many natural products and therapeutically active compounds – with good yields and enantioselectivities. The reaction tolerates a variety of alkyl and alkoxy substituted aldehydes and the products can be elaborated into several chiral building blocks bearing either 1,4‐ or 1,5‐ functional group relationships. Mechanistic studies showed that the conformational features of the peptide are important for both the catalytic efficiency and stereochemistry, while a balance of acid/base additives is key for ensuring formation of the desired product over undesired side reactions.

Abstract
Chiral indoline-2-carboxylic acid has been identified to enable a highly enantioselective Catellani-type annulation of (hetero)aryl, alkenyl triflate and conjugated vinyl iodides with 4-(bromomethyl)cyclohexanone, directly assembling a diverse range of chiral all-carbon bridged ring systems. Control experiments and DFT calculations suggest that the coordinating orientation of the chiral amino acid to the arylpalladium(II) center allows for high levels of stereochemical control.

Abstract
A Ta2O5-anchored-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (PPCA) nanoparticle has been synthesized and characterized. It was then used as a highly effective nanocatalyst for the synthesis of quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives through CO bond functionalization. The special advantage of this heterogeneous solid catalyst is the reusability of the catalyst for up to five cycles without any noticeable reduction in product yields. In comparison, healthy reaction profiles, wide substrate scope, excellent yields and easy workup conditions are the notable highlights of this approach. All the compounds were tested for their anticancer activity against MCF-7 (human breast), HepG2 (human liver), HCT116 (human colorectal), and PC-3 (human prostate) cancer cell lines with the MTT assay. All the compounds were shown to have moderate to good inhibitory effects on tested cancer cell lines. Besides, compounds 5b, 5c and 5d showed good selectivity against epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK). Molecular docking results showed that active compounds showed a good affinity towards EGFR kinase (PDB ID: 6V6O) by forming two hydrogen bonds with Cys-797 and Tyr-801. All the compounds were screened for computational ADMET and Lipinski analysis.

Abstract
α-Functionalization of carbonyl compounds in organic synthesis has traditionally been accomplished via classical enolate chemistry. As α-functionalized carbonyl moieties are ubiquitous in biologically and pharmaceutically valuable molecules, catalytic α-alkylations have been extensively studied, yielding a plethora of practical and efficient methodologies. Moreover, stereoselective carbon–carbon bond formation at the α-position of achiral carbonyl compounds has been achieved by using various transition metal–chiral ligand complexes. This review describes recent advances—in the last 20 years and especially focusing on the last 10 years—in transition metal-catalyzed α-alkylations of carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes, ketones, imines, esters, and amides and in efficient carbon–carbon bond formations. Active catalytic species and ligand design are discussed, and mechanistic insights are presented. In addition, recently developed photo-redox catalytic systems for α-alkylations are described as a versatile synthetic tool for the synthesis of chiral carbonyl-bearing molecules.
