The first trapping of N-acyliminium ions by in situ generated carbaminic acid (product of carbon dioxide (CO2) and amine) is reported. This catalyst-free reaction provides a convenient and feasible approach to prepare N-acyl thia- and oxazolidinyl carbamates with good functional-group compatibility and high efficiency under green conditions. Furthermore, the multicomponent method features a broad substrate scope, facile product diversification, smooth scale-up and notable potential for polymer applications.

A novel Cu-mediated rearrangement reaction based on bisamides containing a thiazolidine substructure opens the possibility for diastereoselective synthesis toward a tricyclic annulated and bridged heterocyclic system. The required precursors are easily synthesizable by a two-step synthetic pathway using the concept of sequential multicomponent reactions, i.e. the Asinger and Ugi reactions. Due to this synthesis strategy, a number of unique tricyclic heterocycles, characterized by high diversity, are synthesized in an effective manner.

A straightforward three-component reaction (3-CR) for the preparation of a variety of biologically interesting amido (thio)xanthates has been developed. By the proper choice of a potassium (thio)xanthate salt, a cyclic or acyclic imine, and an acyl chloride as substrates a broad scope with respect to the substituents can be realized. This operationally simple one-pot method proceeds under mild and environmentally friendly conditions while potassium chloride is produced as the single waste-product.
