A dual copper/enamine catalytic system is found to enable an intermolecular enantioselective α-addition of various carbonyl nucleophiles to allenamides. Secondary amine catalysts allowed the highly enantioselective addition of aldehydes, while using primary amine catalysts led to the enantioselective addition of ketoester nucleophiles. The process was found to be highly regio-, stereo- and enantio-selective and represented the first allene hydrofunctionalization using an synergistic catalysis involving copper

Cyclotriarsanes are rare and limited synthetic approaches have hampered reactivity studies on these systems. Described in here is a scalable synthetic protocol towards (AsAr)<sub>3</sub> (Ar = Dip, 2,6-<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>2</sub>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>; Tip, 2,4,6-<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>3</sub>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>2</sub>), which allowed to study their reactivity towards [Cp<sub>2</sub>Ti(C<sub>2</sub>(SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>], affording titanocene diarsene complexes and towards N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to give straightforward access to a variety of NHC-arsinidene adducts. The electronic structure of the titanium diarsene complxes has been studied and they are best described as Ti(IV) species with a doubly reduced As<sub>2</sub>Ar<sub>2</sub> ligand. These findings will make (AsAr)<sub>3</sub> valuable precursors in the synthetic inorganic and organic chemistry.

Background: During the last two decades, horizon of research in the field of Nitrogen Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHC) has widened remarkably. NHCs have emerged as ubiquitous species having applications in a broad range of fields, including organocatalysis and organometallic chemistry. The NHC-induced non-asymmetric catalysis has turned out to be a really fruitful area of research in recent years. Methods: By manipulating structural features and selecting appropriate substituent groups, it has been possible to control the kinetic and thermodynamic stability of a wide range of NHCs, which can be tolerant to a variety of functional groups and can be used under mild conditions. NHCs are produced by different methods, such as deprotonation of Nalkylhetrocyclic salt, transmetallation, decarboxylation and electrochemical reduction. Results: The NHCs have been used successfully as catalysts for a wide range of reactions making a large number of building blocks and other useful compounds accessible. Some of these reactions are: benzoin condensation, Stetter reaction, Michael reaction, esterification, activation of esters, activation of isocyanides, polymerization, different cycloaddition reactions, isomerization, etc. The present review includes all these examples published during the last 10 years, i.e. from 2010 till date. Conclusion: The NHCs have emerged as versatile and powerful organocatalysts in synthetic organic chemistry. They provide the synthetic strategy which does not burden the environment with metal pollutants and thus fit in the Green Chemistry.

A conformationally restricted perhydro-1,3-benzoxazine derived from (-)-8-aminomenthol behaves as a good chiral ligand in the dimethylzinc-mediated enantioselective monoaddition of aromatic and aliphatic terminal alkynes to 1,2-diketones. The corresponding α-hydroxyketones were...
