The method for the synthesis of complex alkaloid-like aza-heterocycles has been developed through the Povarov reaction of
in situ
generated 2-oxoimidazolium cations. The reaction lead to the ...formation of 2 C-N, 2 C-C bonds and three stereocentres, and features excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity. Based on the controlled experiments and quantum chemistry data, the mechanism of the reaction cyclization was proposed and diastereoselectivity origins were rationalized. Additionally, a straightforward synthesis of hardly accessible 4,4′-bi(imidazol-2-one) derivatives has been achieved using the same methodology.
A rapid diastereoselective construction of the polycyclic quinoline scaffold has been developed through the triflic-acid catalysed tandem intramolecular cyclization/Povarov reaction of (2,2-dialkoxyethyl)ureas.

Chiral 1,9-diaza-3,7,11,15-tetraphosphacyclohexadecanes were stereoselectively synthesized as pure RPSPSPRP isomers via a one-pot Mannich-type condensation reaction of 1,3-bis(arylphosphino)propane, ...formaldehyde and optically active, as well as racemic, primary amines. An unprecedented intermolecular exchange of endocyclic amino fragments of 1,9-diaza-3,7,11,15-tetraphosphacyclohexadecanes was observed. The lability of the P–CH2–N fragment in macrocyclic aminomethylphosphines is the reason of the stereoisomerization, formation of products with medium-sized cycles as well as the exchange of endocyclic amino fragments. The mechanism of these transformations involving the formation of a methylenephosphonium intermediate and further intra- and intermolecular nucleophilic substitution is discussed.

The electrochemical methylation of this complex ...have been cunducted in the presence of iodomethane which has led to the formation of phosphonium salt—methylene bis(methyldiphenylphosphonium) diiodide as final product. It was found, that this reaction proceeds with the breakage of the P–P bonds in polyphosphorus ligand and with the formation of new P–C bonds.

has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Tolman angles have been calculated for the known tertiary arsine ligands and the ligands in the synthesized gold complexes. It has been shown that the dimeric structure of the complexes is formed through the aurophilic interaction between two monomers. The Tolman angle of the phenoxarsine ligand plays a significant role in this interaction; in the dimeric complexes, this angle is on average 147°.

The possibility of spontaneous reduction of benzofuroxans to benzofurazans in course of time due to reactions with diamines was shown for the first time. A possible mechanism of the reaction of ...4,6-dichloro-5-nitrobenzofuroxan with diamines and related amines was analyzed by the quantum-chemical method. The results of research fully confirm the obtained experimental data and explain the impossibility of the subsequent reduction of amino-containing benzofuroxans due to a high activation barrier.
