Abstract:
α-Substituted-7-azaindoline amides and α,β-unsaturated 7-azaindoline amides have emerged as new versatile synthons for various metal-catalyzed and organic-catalyzed asymmetric reactions, which have attracted much attention from chemists. In this review, the progress of research on 7-azaindoline amides in the asymmetric aldol reaction, the Mannich reaction, the conjugate addition, the 1,3-dipole cycloaddition, the Michael/aldol cascade reaction, aminomethylation and the Michael addition-initiated ring-closure reaction is discussed. The α-substituted-7-azaindoline amides, as nucleophiles, are classified according to the type of α-substituted group, whereas the α,β-unsaturated 7-azaindoline amides, as electrophiles, are classified according to the type of reaction.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
