A general synthesis of various benzo-fused indolizidine alkaloid mimics has been developed. The indolizidine derivatives 8 were prepared via heteroaryl Grignard addition to N-acylpyridinium salts followed by an intramolecular Heck cyclization. Further substitution reactions were developed to demonstrate that heterocycles 8 are good scaffolds for chemical library preparation.

Boron compounds are widely employed in organic chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. Among them, borylated heterocycles serve as versatile synthons for the construction of new C-C or C-heteroatom bonds via coupling or radical processes. Such methods for direct C-H borylation reactions are of high synthetic value to reduce the number of synthetic steps and the amount of waste and to improve efficiency.

The introduction of 4,5-dihydroazuleno[2,1,8-ija]azulene as a central core between two 1,4-dithiafulvene (DTF) units provides a novel class of extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) electron donors. Herein we present the synthesis of such compounds with the azulenoazulene further expanded by annulation to benzene, naphthalene, or thiophene rings. Moreover, unsymmetrical donor-acceptor chromophores with one DTF and one carbonyl at the central core are presented.

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of benzo-fused heteroarenes generally provides partially hydrogenated products wherein the heteroaryl ring is preferentially reduced, such as quinoline hydrogenation, leading to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Herein, we report a carbocycle-selective hydrogenation of fused -heteroarenes (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, etc.) using the Ru complex of a chiral spiroketal-based diphosphine (SKP) as the catalyst, affording the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro products in high chemoselectivities.

The fused eight-membered carbocycles (EMCs) play vital roles in the medicinal and biological investigations of many natural products and marketed drugs. The traditional synthesis of [6-8-6] benzo-fused derivatives involves multistep reactions and low yields, making the development of a one-step synthesis method a more challenging work. Here, we present a novel strategy for one-step construction of [6-8-6] benzo-fused scaffold from propargyl diazoacetates substituted with benzyl-nitrogen heterocyclic ring via Rh(ll)-catalyzed carbene/alkyne metathesis (CAM) and selective C-H bond insertion.

A convenient method to access benzo-fused-γ-sultams alkyl radical induced cyclization of vinyl sulfonamides is presented. A wide range of carboxylic acids including sterically hindered adamantanes participated as alkyl donors in this Ag(I)-catalyzed decarboxylative alkylation. The reaction utilizes readily available starting materials and demonstrates a broad substrate scope.
