A practical iron-catalyzed intramolecular O-arylation reaction and its application in the synthesis of benzoxazole derivatives, starting from the readily available 2-haloanilines, is presented. The key cyclization step involves the use of a combination of the cheap and environmentally friendly FeCl(3) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5 heptanedione (TMHD) as the catalyst system.

Radical Smiles rearrangements have emerged as powerful methodologies for constructing carbon-carbon bonds through intramolecular radical addition and fragmentation under milder conditions, with SO released as a byproduct. However, SO-retaining Smiles rearrangements, which can yield valuable alkyl sulfone derivatives, have been scarcely explored. In this study, we present an unprecedented iron-catalyzed SO-retaining Smiles rearrangement initiated by the decarboxylation of aliphatic carboxylic acids.

High-valent oxoiron species have been invoked as oxidizing agents in a variety of iron-dependent oxygenases. Taking inspiration from nature, selected nonheme iron complexes have been developed as catalysts to elicit C-H oxidation through the mediation of putative oxoiron(V) species, akin to those proposed for Rieske oxygenases. The addition of carboxylic acids in these iron-catalyzed C-H oxidations has proved highly beneficial in terms of product yields and selectivities, suggesting the direct involvement of iron(V)-oxo-carboxylato species.

Here we report an iron-complex-catalyzed synthesis of various mono- and di-substituted quinolin-2(1)-ones achieved the intramolecular acceptorless dehydrogenative cyclization of amido-alcohols. This approach for the synthesis of N-heterocycles has provided access to underdescribed disubstituted quinolinones and represents an alternative to the well-known palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions.

Multisubstituted furans occupy a pivotal position within the realms of synthetic chemistry and pharmacological science due to their distinctive chemical configurations and inherent properties. We herein introduce a tandem difunctionalization protocol of alcohols for the efficient synthesis of multisubstituted 2,3-dihydrofurans and γ-butyrolactones through the combination of photocatalysis and iron catalysis under mild conditions. Photoredox alcohol α-C(sp)-H activation and Pinner-type intramolecular cyclization are two key processes.

The Ganoderma meroterpenoids are a growing class of natural products with architectural complexity, and exhibit a wide range of biological activities. Here, we report an enantioselective total synthesis of the Ganoderma meroterpenoid (‒)-lucidumone. The synthetic route features several key transformations, including a) a Cu-catalyzed enantioselective silicon-tethered intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition to construct the highly functionalized bicyclo[2.
