A tandem intramolecular Michael-addition/elimination sequence in dihydropyrimidone to quinoline rearrangements

Ru-catalyzed tandem cross-metathesis/intramolecular-hydroarylation sequence.

Calcium Chloride catalyzed Intramolecular Oxa Michael addition of 2’-Hydroxychalcone to Flavanone

An efficient cyclization of 2’-hydroxychalcone to flavanone using calcium chloride as a catalyst was developed. The scope of the reaction was studied with substituted 2’-hydroxychalcone and these chalcones was converted into corresponding flavanone in good yield. The merits of this method are inexpensive and easily available catalyst, easy workup procedure, avoid use of toxic solvent

Tandem Michael addition/intramolecular isocyanide [3 + 2] cycloaddition: highly diastereoselective one pot synthesis of fused oxazolines.

A base-catalyzed tandem Michael addition/intramolecular isocyanide [3 + 2] cycloaddition of ethyl isocyanoacetate and Michael acceptors with tethered carbonyl groups is described. This reaction leads to the formation of fused oxazolines in a highly diastereoselective manner under very mild conditions.

Cysteine-derived organocatalyst in a highly enantioselective intramolecular Michael reaction.

Asymmetric intramolecular Michael reaction catalyzed by an organocatalyst derived from cysteine has been developed for the synthesis of chiral bicyclo[4.3.0]nonene and cis-disubstituted cyclopentane skeletons with a creation of three or two contiguous chiral centers in good yield with high diastereo- and excellent enantioselectivities.
