The catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition reaction of $\alpha$-nitroacetate to $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturated enones promoted by chiral bifunctional organocatalysts is described. The treatment of $\alpha$-nitroacetate to $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturated enones afforded the corresponding Michael adducts with high enantioselectivity. The conjugate addition adducts are easily converted to chiral $\gamma$-nitro ketones and $\delta$-keto esters.

A practical and efficient one-pot synthesis of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles from ${\alpha},{\beta}$-enones and arylhydrazine hydrochlorides has been developed. The pyrazoles were formed via a tandem formation of the corresponding pyrazolines and an acid-catalyzed aerobic oxidation process.

Convenient synthetic method for 4-arylethylpyrazoles and 4-styrylpyrazoles was developed using ${\alpha}$-alkenyl-${\alpha},{\beta}$-enones readily accessed from the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction. For the synthesis of 4-arylethylpyrazole, the reactions with arylhydrazines needed to be carried out in o-dichlorobenzene under $N_2$ balloon atmosphere. On the other hand, 4-styrylpyrazoles required the reactions in ethanol under $O_2$ balloon atmosphere.

Substituent chemical shifts were examined for the 2- and 3-thiophene derivatives of chalcone and compared to the thiophene series of derivatives with the phenyl series. The chemical shift values for the ${\alpha}$-carbons of the enones showed and inverse correlation with the Hammett $\sigma$ values, but the correlation coefficients were moderate (r = 0.836 - 0.878). On the other hand, the $\beta$-carbons showed a normal correlation with excellent correlation coefficients (r = 0.994). The absolute magnitude of the $\rho$ values for the $\alpha$-carbon are about half of those of the $\beta$-carbon. The observation may be the result of a through-space transition of the electronic effect of the substituents in addition to the through bond transition.

Reduction of carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturated enals and enones, $\alpha$-diketones and acyloins was carried out readily with $NaBH_3CN$ in the presence of wet $SiO_2$ as a neutral media. The reactions were performed at solvent-free conditions in oil bath (70 - $80^{\circ}C$) or under microwave irradiation (240 W) to give the product alcohols in high to excellent yields. Regioselective 1,2-reduction of conjugated carbonyl compounds took place in a perfect selectivity without any side product formation.

An efficient synthesis of poly-substituted furans, pyrroles, and thiophenes was carried out in a regiocontrolled manner via a three-step process; (i) conjugate addition of methyl cyanoacetate derivatives to ${\alpha}$,${\beta}$-enones, (ii) CuI-mediated aerobic oxidation, and (iii) Paal-Knorr type synthesis of five-membered heterocycles.
