[reaction: see text] The Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of tertiary 5-en-1-yn-3-ols with an 1,2-alkyl shift affords stereoselectively tri- and tetracyclic compounds of high molecular complexity. These results are in agreement with a mechanism in which the cyclopropanation precedes the rearrangement.

Copper-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Cycloisomerization Cascade Constructing Azepinoindolizine.

Numerous effective bioisosteric replacements have been identified through substituting scaffolds and functional groups in lead molecules with alternative ones that preserve or enhance the desired biological activity of the original compound. Here, a copper-catalyzed nucleophilic cycloisomerization was developed to access potential bioisosteric replacements of azepinoindole. In this process, "tetra-alkene" characteristic of indolizine undergoes a 12π electrocyclization, offering a complementary method to obtain azepinoindolizine derivatives that are otherwise challenging to prepare through conventional means.

Catalytic cyclization of enynes is an efficient approach for the preparation of cyclic compounds, and a large variety of four- to six-membered rings could be synthesized using this method. However, it has been rarely employed for the construction of medium- and large-sized rings. Herein, we describe a copper-catalyzed cycloisomerization of ene-ynamides through a [2 + 2] cyclization/electrocyclic ring opening cascade, leading to the atom-economical assembly of indole-fused medium- and large-sized rings in moderate to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions.

The construction of axially chiral N-heterobiaryls is of great interest as a result of their occurrence in organocatalysts, chiral ligands, natural products, and biologically active molecules. Despite remarkable achievements in this area, strategies for the preparation of new classes of axially chiral N-heterobiaryls remain to be further explored. Herein, we report the enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral arylquinolizones through an intramolecular atroposelective cycloisomerization.

A novel copper-catalyzed cycloisomerization of unactivated allene-tethered propargyl oximes has been developed for the synthesis of hexahydropyrrolo[3,4-]azepin-5(4)-ones. This one-pot domino reaction proceeds via a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, a [3 + 2] cycloaddition, and another [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The methodology offers a practical and straightforward route for the rapid assembly of both ring components of the fused bicyclic motifs from acyclic precursors by simultaneously forming four new bonds (a C═O, a C═N, and two C-C bonds) in a single step.

A highly enantioselective copper-catalyzed propargylic amination starting from benzylic allylic amines has been developed with a new chiral N,N,P ligand. A series of -tethered 1,6-enynes were synthesized in good to excellent yields with excellent enantioselectivities. Utilization of transition metal-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 1,6-enynes provides several enantioselectively enriched chiral five-membered N-heterocycles efficiently.
