Thus, Soret band splitting in the absorption spectrum of the polymer with porphyrin linker (12e), significant fluorescence quenching with oligoaryl linkers (12b−d), and excimer emission with a terphenylene-diethynylene linker (12a) are characteristic photophysical properties of these polymers.

The recent discovery that homoenolates can be generated from alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes via N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) catalysis has led to the development of a number of new reactions. A majority of such reactions include the use of carbon-based electrophiles, such as aldehydes, imines, enones, dienones etc. resulting in the formation of a variety of annulated as well as acyclic products. The easy availability of chiral NHCs has allowed the development of very efficient enantioselective variants of these reactions also. The tolerance showed by NHCs towards magnesium and titanium based Lewis acids has been exploited in the invention of cooperative catalytic processes. This tutorial review focuses on these and other types of homoenolate reactions reported recently, and in the process, updates the previous account published in 2008 in this journal.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20.52</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biju, Akkattu T.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kuhl, Nadine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glorius, Frank</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Extending nhc-catalysis: reaction of aldehydes with unconventional reaction partners</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Accounts of Chemical Research</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUL</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1182–1195</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Transition metal catalysis is a powerful means of effecting organic reactions, but it has some inherent drawbacks, such as the cost of the catalyst and the toxicity of the metals. Organocatalysis represents an attractive alternative and, in some cases, offers transformations unparalleled in metal catalysis. Unique transformations are a particular hallmark of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis, a versatile method for which a number of modes of action are known. The NHC-catalyzed umpolung (that is, the inversion of polarity) of electrophilic aldehydes, through formation of the nucleophilic Breslow intermediate, is probably the most important mode of action.

Key to the success of the resurgence of interest in the rich chemistry of arynes is primarily the mild condition for their generation by the fluoride-induced 1,2-elimination of 2-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates. Consequently, arynes have been employed for the construction of multisubstituted arenes with structural diversity and complexity. The versatile transition-metal-free applications of arynes include cycloaddition reactions, insertion reactions and multicomponent reactions. In addition, arynes have found applications in natural product synthesis. Herein, we present a concise account of the major developments that occurred in this field during the past eight years.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign

Traditionally, arynes are generated in solution from haloarenes under strongly basic conditions. However, the scopes of many of the aryne reactions are limited because of the harsh conditions used for their generation. The renaissance of interest in aryne chemistry is mainly due to the mild conditions for their generation by the fluoride-induced 1,2-elimination of 2-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates. This Account is focused on the Diels–Alder reaction of arynes and their transition-metal-free application in multicomponent couplings as well as arylation reactions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;articleBody_abstractText&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; line-height: 1.6em; padding: 0pt; width: 610px; word-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;The Diels–Alder reaction of arynes is a powerful tool for constructing benzo-fused carbocycles and heterocycles. In 2012, we developed an efficient, broad-scope, and scalable Diels–Alder reaction of pentafulvenes with arynes affording benzonorbornadiene derivatives. Subsequently, we accomplished the Diels–Alder reaction of arynes with dienes such as 1,2-benzoquinones and tropones. Moreover, we uncovered a transition-metal-free protocol for the synthesis of 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes by the reaction of arynes with styrenes that proceeds via a Diels–Alder/ene-reaction cascade. In addition, we demonstrated the reaction of arynes with indene/benzofurans, which proceeds via a tandem [4 + 2]/[2 + 2] sequence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;articleBody_abstractText&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; line-height: 1.6em; padding: 0pt; width: 610px; word-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Multicomponent coupling (MCC) involving arynes mainly comprises the initial addition of a nucleophile to the aryne followed by interception of the aryl anion intermediate with an electrophile (provided the nucleophilic and electrophilic moieties do not belong to the same molecule). We have disclosed aryne MCCs initiated by N-heterocycles such as (iso)quinoline, pyridine, and aziridines. When (iso)quinoline is used as the nucleophilic trigger and N-substituted isatin as the third component, the reaction affords spirooxazino(iso)quinolines via 1,4-dipolar intermediates. Unexpectedly, using pyridine affords indolin-2-ones, where the reaction proceeds via the pyridylidene intermediate. Additionally, we developed the phosphine-triggered aryne MCCs for the synthesis of functionalized benzooxaphospholes.

The chemistry of arynes has shown incredible developments especially in transition-metal-free carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions in the last three decades. The rapid growth in this field is mainly due to the development of mild methods for the generation of arynes. One aspect of the recent developments in the chemistry of arynes involves the molecular rearrangements proceeding via this electrophilic intermediate. The molecular rearrangements have provided direct access to a library of valuable molecules, which cannot be accessed in a single step through other synthetic routes.

Owing to the importance of -lactones as a heterocyclic motif that is present in a variety of natural products and biologically active molecules, several catalytic methods have been developed for the synthesis of these compounds in their enantiomerically pure form. Organocatalytic methods that employ N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), cinchona alkaloids, isothioureas, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) derivatives, and phosphines have allowed the highly enantioselective synthesis of -lactones from cheap and readily available starting materials. Moreover, the inherent strain in the four-membered ring of -lactones has also been utilized in further synthetic transformations, thus making -lactones a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17 </style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;3.692&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patra, Atanu</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gelat, Fabien</style></author></secondary-authors><tertiary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pannecoucke, Xavier</style></author></tertiary-authors><subsidiary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poisson, Thomas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Besset, Tatiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biju, Akkattu T.</style></author></subsidiary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synthesis of 4-difluoromethylquinolines by NHC-catalyzed umpolung of imines</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> Organic Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1086–1089</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed umpolung of aldimines for the synthesis of 4-difluoromethylquinoline derivatives is reported.

The benzoin condensation and the Stetter reaction are the two historic reactions where NHC reacts with aldehyde to generate acyl anion equivalent, which is subsequently intercepted with another molecule of carbonyl compound or Michael acceptor leading to the formation of the benzoin/Stetter products. The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview on NHC-catalyzed Stetter reaction and related chemistry. The development of various chiral catalysts for enantioselective intra- or intermolecular Stetter reaction has been described.

The use of chiral NHCs in the process results in the enantioselective synthesis of various heterocycles. The underlying principle of many of the NHC-catalyzed reactions is the remarkable ability of NHCs to reverse the normal mode of reactivity of aldehydes (umpolung). NHCs can catalyze transformations proceeding via the umpolung or nonumpolung mode for the synthesis of various functionalized molecules.

Preliminary studies on rotation barrier for the C-N bond, the temperature dependence, and detailed DFT studies on mechanism are also provided.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15.336</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balanna, Kuruva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barik, Soumen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shee, Sayan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonnade, Rajesh G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biju, Akkattu T.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dynamic kinetic resolution of gamma,gamma-disubstituted indole 2-carboxaldehydes via NHC-Lewis acid cooperative catalysis for the synthesis of tetracyclic epsilon-lactones</style></title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11513-11518</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	The ubiquity of epsilon-lactones in various biologically active compounds inspired the development of efficient and enantioselective routes to these target compounds. Described herein is the enantioselective synthesis of indole-fused epsilon-lactones by the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-Lewis acid cooperative catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of in situ generated gamma,gamma-disubstituted indole 2-carboxaldehydes. The Bi(OTf)(3)-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction of indole-2-carboxaldehyde with 2-hydroxy phenyl p-quinone methides generates gamma,gamma-disubstituted indole 2-carboxaldehydes, which in the presence of NHC and Bi(OTf)(3) afforded the desired tetracyclic epsilon-lactones in up to 93% yield and &amp;gt;99 : 1 er. Moreover, preliminary studies on the mechanism of this formal [4 + 3] annulation are also provided.&lt;/p&gt;

	The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-organocata-lyzed [3 + 3] annulation of 2-bromoenals with fi-oxodithioesters resulting in the enantioselective synthesis of dihydrothiopyranones is presented. The chiral a,fi-unsaturated acylazoliums generated from 2-bromoenals and carbenes underwent smooth interception with the sulfur nucleophiles to furnish the sulfur heterocycles in satisfactory yields/selectivity. The regioselective formation of dihydrothiopyranones over the competing dihydropyranones is noteworthy.&lt;/p&gt;

	The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed generation of ortho-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs) from 9H-fluorene-1-carbaldehydes followed by the interception with activated ketones resulting in the enantioselective synthesis of tetracyclic delta-lactones is presented. High diastereoselectivity of products, remote C-(sp(3))-H functionalization, broad substrate scope, and mild reaction conditions are the notable features of the present (4 + 2) annulation.&lt;/p&gt;

	Although the atroposelective synthesisof biaryls and related compoundsbearing axially chiral C-C bonds is well-known, the synthesisof axially chiral C-N bond-containing compounds is relativelyless explored, and the construction of axially chiral N-N bondshas received only scant attention. Demonstrated herein is the N-heterocycliccarbene (NHC)-catalyzed selective amidation reaction, leading to theatroposelective synthesis of N-N axially chiral 3-amino quinazolinones.The NHC-catalyzed reaction of quinazolinones containing a free N-Hmoiety with &amp;amp; alpha;,&amp;amp; beta;-unsaturated aldehydes under oxidativeconditions furnished the atropisomeric quinazolinone derivatives undermild conditions and broad scope. Preliminary studies on experimentaland density functional theory-based N-N rotational barrierdetermination are also presented.&lt;/p&gt;
