I. Catalyst-controlled regioselective (3+2) cycloaddition of azomethine ylide and indandionebenzylidines for synthesis of highly enantioselective chromanopyrrolidines.

II. Synthesis of functionalized furans via chemoselective reduction/Wittig reaction using catalytic triethylamine and phosphine

Part I. A novel and highly enantioselective (3+2) cycloaddition/esterification cascade for the synthesis of chromano[3,4-b]pyrrolidine derivatives is reported. Quinine-derived base, hydroquinine squaramide, affects this cascade reaction efficiently providing the products in good yields and stereoselectivities. Furthermore we found out the interesting phenomenon while the basicity change the reioselectivity of (3+2) cycloaddition could be controlled. The mechanism of how the regioselectivity could be controlled is also revealed in this work.

Part II. An efficient protocol for the synthesis of highly functionalized furans via intramolecular Wittig reaction has been developed using catalytic amounts of phosphine and triethylamine. Silyl chloride served as the initial promoter to activate the phosphine oxide. Reduction of the activated phosphine oxide by hydrosilane resulted in the generation of phosphine, while the decomposition of triethylamonium chloride resulted in the regeneration of base, both of which mediated the formation of phosphorus ylide. Remarkably, the in situ generated by-product, triethylammonium chloride, is also found to catalyze the reduction of phosphine oxide.
