Abstract
Indole heterocycles have an established reactivity, and these compounds are H-bond donors via a peculiar non-basic NH. However, the indole core has been scarcely employed in organocatalysis, with only a few examples relevant to electrophilic halogenation reported. To expand the range of potential [...] Read more.
Indole heterocycles have an established reactivity, and these compounds are H-bond donors via a peculiar non-basic NH. However, the indole core has been scarcely employed in organocatalysis, with only a few examples relevant to electrophilic halogenation reported. To expand the range of potential transformations achievable via indole catalysis, we have designed a set of new organic species incorporating an indole core, alongside three privelaged chiral moieties found in many known organocatalysts, namely a quaternary ammonium salt, a diamine and an amino-urea. Herein, we report an optimised synthetic route for the preparation of these potential catalytic species in an enantiomerically pure form. The syntheses are conceived to be modular and therefore will allow each of the three single organic catalysts to be expanded into families without alteration of the synthetic layout, therefore leading to a fast optimisation of new asymmetric procedures.

Abstract
The successful use of 1,3,4,2-triazaphospholenes (TAPs) as organo-catalysts stresses the need for efficient synthetic routes to these molecules. In this study, we establish the [1 + 4]-cycloaddition of PBr3 to azo-pyridines as a new approach to preparing pyrido-annellated TAPs in a single [...] Read more.
The successful use of 1,3,4,2-triazaphospholenes (TAPs) as organo-catalysts stresses the need for efficient synthetic routes to these molecules. In this study, we establish the [1 + 4]-cycloaddition of PBr3 to azo-pyridines as a new approach to preparing pyrido-annellated TAPs in a single step from easily available precursors. The modular assembly of the azo-component via condensation of primary amines and nitroso compounds along with the feasibility of post-functionalization at the P–Br bond under conservation of the heterocyclic structure allows, in principle, to address a wide range of target molecules, which is illustrated by prototypical examples. The successful synthesis of a transition metal complex confirms for the first time the ability of a TAP to act as a P-donor ligand. Crystallographic studies suggest that hyperconjugation effects and intermolecular interactions induce a qualitatively similar ionic polarization of the P–Br bonds in TAPs as in better known isoelectronic diazaphospholenes.

New developments in the synthesis, resolution, and synthetic applications of chiral 1-phenylethylamine (α-PEA) reported in the last decade have been reviewed. In particular, improvements in the synthesis of α-PEA and its derivatives and chiral resolution, as well as their applications in the resolution of other compounds, were discussed. α-PEA was used as a chiral auxiliary in the diastereoselective synthesis of medicinal substances and natural products. Chiral ligands with α-PEA moieties were applied in asymmetric reactions, and effective modular chiral organocatalysts were constructed with α-PEA fragments and used in important synthetic reactions.
