Propargyl tosylates react with N-tosylaldimines to afford cyclopent-2-enimines in a gold-catalyzed process that involves a deep reorganization of both substrates. The formal [4 + 1] cyclization is initiated by a 1,2-migration of the tosylate that eventually generates a substituted 1,3-diene. Subsequent interaction with the imine launches a series of reaction steps prior to a Nazarov-like cyclization to yield the final product.

Rare Gold-Catalyzed 4-- Cyclization for Ring Expansion of Propargylic Aziridines toward Stereoselective ()-Alkylidene Azetidines, via Diborylalkyl Homopropargyl Amines.

We report an uncommon 4-- cyclization of -tosyl homopropargyl amines, catalyzed by [AuCl(PEt)]/AgOTf, to prepare stereoselective ()-2-alkylidene-1-tosylazetidine compounds. The reaction outcome contrasts with the gold-catalyzed cyclization of -tosyl homopropargyl amines containing a methyl group at the propargylic position that provides substituted 2,3-dihydropyrroles via a 5-- mechanism. The access to -tosyl homopropargyl amines is possible by the regioselective nucleophilic attack of α-diboryl alkylidene lithium salts to propargylic aziridines.

Article Synopsis
- The Cu(i)-catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition click chemistry reaction is explored for enhancing the properties of kraft pulp fibers in paper production by creating stable chemical bonds between fibers.
- Prior methods of modifying kraft fibers, such as propargylation and tosylation, were improved to achieve better final sheet properties after the fibers underwent azidation and crosslinking.
- The study found that the resulting inter-fiber covalent bonds significantly increased mechanical strength and tensile stiffness in the produced kraft fiber sheets.
Cu(II)-Catalyzed Aminocyclization of -Propargyl Hydrazones to Substituted Pyrazolines.

An efficient route for the copper(II)-catalyzed synthesis of substituted pyrazolines from readily accessible -propargyl hydrazones has been reported under open flask conditions via intramolecular C-N bond formation. -acyl and -tosyl-substituted pyrazolines have been prepared in moderate to excellent yields. Mechanistic investigations using NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and Hammett analyses suggest that the Cu(II) catalyst generally acts as a Lewis acid to form an iminium-ion intermediate via cyclization, which afforded the desired pyrazolines upon hydrolysis.

We report herein unprecedented cascade reactions of O-propargyl-N-tosyl-amino phenols with 10 mol% FeCl in DCE at room temperature for 0.67-3 h to form spiro-indenyl 1,4-benzoxazines with 38-89 % yield. Replacing the substrates' oxygen atom by a N-tosylimine group followed by treatment with the same catalyst and solvent at 80 °C produced 2-(2,2-diarylvinyl)quinoxalines in 12-20 h with up to 62 % yield.

Article Synopsis
- Dopamine-deficient mice show increased activity that may stem from reduced muscarinic signaling in the brain.*
- In these mice, the density of the M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor is decreased in the cortex, potentially impacting acetylcholine levels.*
- Treatments with specific receptor agonists, like xanomeline and arecaidine propargyl ester tosylate, help reduce hyperactivity in these dopamine-deficient mice, indicating the role of certain muscarinic receptors in managing this behavior.*
