A convenient and waste-free synthesis of indene-based tertiary carbinamines by rhodium-catalyzed imine/alkyne [3+2] annulation is described. Under the optimized conditions of 0.5-2.5 mol % [{(cod)Rh(OH)}(2)] (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene) catalyst, 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)propane (DPPP) ligand, in toluene at 120 degrees C, N-unsubstituted aromatic ketimines and internal alkynes were coupled in a 1:1 ratio to form tertiary 1H-inden-1-amines in good yields and with high selectivities over isoquinoline products. A plausible catalytic cycle involves sequential imine-directed aromatic C-H bond activation, alkyne insertion, and a rare example of intramolecular ketimine insertion into a Rh(I)-alkenyl linkage.

Highly asymmetric (3+3) annulation of diaziridines with oxiranes via C-N bond cleavage in diaziridine was achieved under 10 mol % of chiral copper(II) complex as the catalyst under mild reaction conditions. With Cu(OTf) as the Lewis acid and C-symmetric imidazolidine-pyrroloimidazolone pyridine as the ligand, diverse tetrahydro-[1,3,4]-oxadiazines were obtained by stereospecific C-N/C-O bond formation in moderate to good yields (up to 93% yield) and high diastereo- (>20:1 dr) and enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee). The catalytic cycle and stereochemical model were proposed by DFT calculation.

We have devised a copper-catalysed tandem annulation reaction to generate a new class of bicyclic nucleoside analogues (BCNAs), namely, amino-substituted thiazolopyrimidine ribonucleosides. The reaction between triacetyl-5-iodo-cytidine and an appropriate organic isothiocyanate in the presence of a Cu salt and ligand resulted in the formation of an amino-substituted thiazolopyrimidine moiety. This reaction was found to be compatible with a range of aliphatic and aromatic isothiocyanates, affording the corresponding products in moderate to good yields.

A novel HSO-catalyzed ANRORC-type rearrangement of pyrazinones to imidazoles proceeding through pyridazino[]annulation with simultaneous introduction of a pyrazole ring at position 2 of the imidazole system has been developed, which offers efficient and expedited access to new biheterocyclic systems - 2-(pyrazol-3-ul)imidazoles and 2-(pyrazol-3-yl)imidazo[4,5-]pyridazines. Diverse bi--heterocyclic systems with the imidazo[4,5-]pyridazine-4,7-diamine moiety could be obtained in excellent yield when 5,6-dicyano-3-(2-oxo-2-ethyl)pyrazin-2(1)-ones interact with hydrazines the selective spiro-formation in a tandem ring-opening/ring-closing process, which allowed the simultaneous construction of five new C-N bonds. This new method is compatible with an array of functional groups, proceeds under mild reaction conditions with the involvement of commercially available reagents.

An -heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed atroposelective [3 + 3] annulation of alkynyl acylazoliums with benzothiazole derivatives has been developed for the divergent synthesis of axially chiral triaryl 2-pyranones and fused 2-pyridones. The regioselectivity of this protocol depends on the structure of benzothiazoles with three different nucleophilic centers. The obtained axially chiral frameworks represent a new class of arylheterocycle atropisomers, which may be potentially useful in medicinal chemistry.
