TL;DR: A simple, controllable, and versatile chemical homology principle is reported on to synthesize multiple-hybridized HMONs with varied functional organic groups homogeneously incorporated into the framework (up to quintuple hybridizations).

TL;DR: The development of the strategy of asymmetric organocatalytic relay cascades has provided a useful tool for the controlled synthesis of specific diastereomers in complex molecules and some of these reactions are highly efficient since catalyst loadings as low as 1 mol % can promote the multistep sequences affording complex architectures with high stereoselectivities and yields.

TL;DR: A bifunctional squaramide catalyzed sulfa-Michael/aldol cascade reaction between 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol and chalcones with a low catalyst loading has been developed and a remarkable temperature effect on reaction efficiency was observed.

TL;DR: Recently, the combination of two organocatalysts has been elegantly employed in one-pot reactions with the controlled, sequential addition of reagents and/or catalyst through the course of the reaction.
