[Structure: see text] PtCl4-catalyzed cyclization reactions of homopropargyl azide derivatives to pyrrole rings were investigated. Using ethanol as solvent with 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine as the base was found to be the best set of conditions for effecting this ring-closing reaction. These reaction conditions can be applied to the preparation of functionalized pyrrole derivatives, with no effect on the functional groups.

Chemodivergent, enantio- and regioselective couplings of alkynes, aldehydes and silanes enabled by nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis.

Divergent synthesis of valuable molecules through common starting materials and metal catalysis represents a longstanding challenge and a significant research goal. We here describe chemodivergent, highly enantio- and regioselective nickel-catalyzed reductive and dehydrogenative coupling reactions of alkynes, aldehydes, and silanes. A single chiral Ni-based catalyst is leveraged to directly prepare three distinct enantioenriched products (silyl-protected trisubstituted chiral allylic alcohols, oxasilacyclopentenes, and silicon-stereogenic oxasilacyclopentenes) in a single chemical operation.

Article Synopsis
  • A new photocatalytic method has been developed for synthesizing 1,4-benzoxazepine using 2-alkoxyarylaldehyde and -arylglycine.
  • This process is mild, efficient, and can be completed in just 2 hours at room temperature with light and nitrogen.
  • Mechanistic studies show that it involves the decarboxylation and cyclization of -arylglycine, offering an easy route to create different substituted 1,4-benzoxazepine compounds.

Bioinspired concise synthesis of caged Sesquiterpenoids Artatrovirenols A and B.

Nat Commun

Artatrovirenols A and B are two newly isolated sesquiterpenoids with a complex caged framework. We report herein a concise synthesis of artatrovirenols A and B in 9 and 8 steps, respectively. The complex caged tetracycle is rapidly constructed from a known planar guaiane-type precursor through a bioinspired intramolecular [4 + 2] cyclization to firstly access artatrovirenol B, which is further transformed into artatrovirenol A through a biomimetic epoxidation-mediated lactonization reaction.

General (hetero)polyaryl amine synthesis via multicomponent cycloaromatization of amines.

Nat Commun

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Chemo/Biosensing and Chemometrics, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha, China.

(Hetero)polyaryl amines are extensively prevalent in pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and materials but the intricate and varied nature of their structures severely restricts their synthesis. Here, we present a selective multicomponent cycloaromatization of structurally and functionally diverse amine substrates for the general and modular synthesis of (hetero)polyaryl amines through copper(I)-catalysis. This strategy directly constructs a remarkable range of amino group-functionalized (hetero)polyaryl frameworks (194 examples), including naphthalene, binaphthalene, phenanthren, benzothiophene, dibenzothiophene, benzofuran, dibenzofuran, quinoline, isoquinoline, quinazoline, and others, which are challenging or impossible to obtain using alternative methods.

Domino cascade reactions, which can construct multiple bonds in one pot, are efficient methods to synthesize N-heterocycles and other useful skeletons. Herein, we report an expedient synthesis of polysubstituted benzo[][1,5]naphthyridine via Mn(III)-mediated C-C bond cleavage of cyclopropanols. These reactions were initiated by addition of β-carbonyl radicals, generated from cyclopropyl alcohols in the presence of Mn(III), to 2-(2-isocyanophenyl)acetonitriles to give quinolin-3-amines, which went through intramolecular cyclizations and dehydrogenation to give the final products.
