[reaction: see text] A novel Cu(I)-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with acrylates has been developed. Up to 98/2 exo/endo selectivity and up to 98% enantiomeric excess have been achieved.

This review highlights the biological importance of many polysubstituted nitro-prolines and -pyrrolidines. Their preparation using asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides with nitroalkenes using diastereoselective and enantioselective strategies is described remarking the scope and main features of each one.

Catalytic asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides have turned out to be one of the most efficient methods for the preparation of enantioenriched pyrrolidines. The past decade has witnessed the development of a bunch of well-defined catalytic systems capable of affording excellent diastereo and enantioselectivities. Recently, a great effort has been focused on expanding the sc...

We have developed a highly efficient procedure for carrying out the catalytic enantioselective (3+2) cycloaddition between enals and stable azomethine ylides such as isoquinolinium and phthalizinium methylides. Under the optimized reaction conditions highly substituted chiral pyrroloisoquinolines and pyrrolophthalazines have been obtained in high yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselec...

Schiff bases of Benzene sulfonyl hydrazide (SBSZ) (1a-e) were prepared by using various benzaldehyde derivatives. SBSZ then condensed with mercapto acetic acid. The obtained resultant 2-thiazolidinone derivatives (2a-e) 5-nitro-2furfuralidine i.e. (Z)-N-(5-((5-nitrofuran-2-yl) methylene)-4-oxo-2-substitutedthiazolidin-3-yl) benzenesulfonamide (3a-e). These further phenyl urea to yield fused het...
